huge increase of Cmax (89 ng/mL, coground
system; 9.1 ng/mL, physical mixture) and AUC
(122 ng h/mL, coground system; 47 ng h/mL,

improvement due to activation. Interestingly, the
authors noted that if water was not added to the
ternary system, drug activation was not equally
pronounced.

Sawayanagi et al.104 studied the mechanochem-
ical activation of phenytoin by cogrinding it
with chitin or chitosan. They found that a 1:2
Phenytoin: chitosan coground mixture orally
administered to beagle dogs comported a sub-
stantial increase in phenytoin blood concentra-
tion. In particular, the AUC corresponding to
activated drug was approximately three times
that of native phenytoin and that maximum drug
concentration was roughly 3.2 times that compet-
ing to the native drug. Similar encouraging
results were also found for mechanochemical
activation of phenytoin in presence of cellulose
(1:9 drug:polymer ratio). Interestingly, in vitro
dissolution tests indicated a neatly higher dis-
solution rate in comparison with that of the native
drug.16
