Pembentukan Kokristal Asam Usnat dan N-Methyl-D-glucamine dengan metode Solvent Drop Grinding

ABSTRAK Telah dilakukan penelitian tentang pembentukan kokristal asam usnat–N-Methyl-D-glucamine dengan metode solvent drop grinding. Kokristal asam usnat–N-Methyl-D-glucamine dibuat dengan perbandingan 1:1 ekuimol dengan metode solvent drop grinding menggunakan pelarut metanol. Karakterisasi dilakukan menggunakan Powder X-Ray diffraction (PXRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), spektroskopi inframerah (FT-IR), dan Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Hasil PXRD menunjukkan difraktogram yang tidak berbeda dari komponen penyusun dan campuran fisik yang mengindikasikan tidak terbentuknya fase kokristal namun terjadi penurunan intensitas puncak yang mengindikasikan terbentuknya campuran eutetik sederhana. Hasil termogram DSC menunjukkan adanya puncak endotermik baru yang berbeda dengan kedua komponen penyusun. Pada spektrum FT-IR terjadi pergeseran puncak spektrum asam usnat dan N-Methyl-D-glucamine ke bilangan gelombang yang lebih tinggi pada fase kokristalin, hal ini terjadi karena vibrasi atom hidrogen pada N-Methyl-D-glucamine dengan gugus karbonil pada asam usnat. Analisis SEM menunjukkan perubahan morfologi sediaan. Kelarutan dan laju disolusi kokristal meningkat secara signifikan (p<0,05) dibandingkan dengan senyawa asam usnat murni. Kata kunci: asam usnat, N-Methyl-D-glucamine, kelarutan, laju disolusi, kokrista
