Solubility Advantage of Amorphous Drugs and Pharmaceutical Cocrystals

N.J. Babu, Ashwini Nangia · 18 May 2011

The current phase of drug development is witnessing an oncoming crisis due to the combined effects of increasing R&D costs, decreasing number of new drug molecules being launched, several blockbuster drugs falling off the patent cliff, and a high proportion of advanced drug candidates exhibiting poor aqueous solubility. The traditional approach of salt formulation to…

Crystal Growth & Design template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Crystal Growth & Design format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Crystal Growth & Design template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Crystal Growth & Design use?
Crystal Growth & Design uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Crystal Growth & Design 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Crystal Growth & Design?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Crystal Growth & Design document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Crystal Growth & Design template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Crystal Growth & Design format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Crystal Growth & Design?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Crystal Growth & Design PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Crystal Growth & Design template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Crystal Growth & Design template cost?
