A Combination of Virtual and Experimental Screening Tools for the Prediction of Nitrofurantoin Multicomponent Crystals with Pyridine Derivatives

Crystals, 2023
Thirty-four binary systems of nitrofurantoin with pyridine derivatives were analyzed by combining virtual (molecular complementarity prediction and hydrogen bond propensity calculations) and experimental (liquid-assisted grinding) screening methods.
