Cocrystal Screening of a Nutraceutical Compound in the Context of Healthy Ageing

Abstract

As science, technology, and medicine advance, human lifespan increases, leading society to face new ageing-related challenges and to pay greater attention to preventive care and overall well-being. Nutraceuticals have emerged as an option for those looking for health support backed by scientific evidence, rather than relying on dietary supplements or pseudo-scientific methods. In this project we aim to obtain a cocrystal: a homogeneous solid containing an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and a second solid named conformer held together by weak interactions. The studied API is a food-derived compound known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties
