What is it about?
The new theoretical screening procedure was proposed for appropriate selection of potential cocrystal formers possessing the ability to enhance dissolution rates of drugs.

Why is it important?
Assuming 5% precision, the applied classification criterion led to inclusion of 70% positive cases in the final prediction. Since lipoaffinity index is a molecular descriptor computed using only 2D information about a chemical structure, its estimation is straightforward and computationally inexpensive.
Perspectives
The inclusion of an additional criterion quantifying the cocrystallization probability leads to the following conjunction criterions Hmix < − 0.18 and ΔLA > 3.61, allowing for identification of dissolution rate enhancers.
