Novel Cocrystal of Quercetagetin: In vitro and in vivo Insights into Biopharmaceutical Performance.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeQuercetagetin (QTGN) is a naturally occurring flavonol predominantly sourced from marigold flowers and possesses notable therapeutic potential, including antidiabetic, anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. However, poor aqueous solubility and in turn bioavailability restrict therapeutic utility of QTGN. Crystal engineering is one of the approaches proven to be fruitful in resolving the solubility issues of many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
methodIn the present work, a cocrystal of QTGN using betaine (BET) as coformer viz. Quercetagetin⋅betaine⋅ethanol (QTGN⋅BET⋅EtOH) was synthesized using the solvent evaporation method. It was further characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single crystal XRD (SCXRD).
resultFTIR studies confirmed hydrogen bonding between QTGN and BET. PXRD studies showed formation of new crystalline phase. The prepared cocrystal had stoichiometric ratio of 1:1:1 between QTGN, BET, and ethanol forming cocrystal ethanolate and shared robust hydroxyl⋯carboxylate supramolecular synthon as confirmed by TGA and SCXRD, respectively. Equilibrium solubility study and in vitro dissolution study showed a significant improvement (p < 0.0001) in aqueous solubility of QTGN upon its cocrystallization with BET. Furthermore, in vivo pharmacokinetic study revealed a 1.28-fold increase in bioavailability of QTGN when formulated as cocrystal solvate. The prepared cocrystal was found to be stable over a period of six months at 40°C and 75% RH when analyzed using PXRD studies.
conclusionThe current work represents a frontier in pharmaceutical formulation, providing a means to fully harness the therapeutic potential of QTGN using cocrystal approach.
