Rhein (Rhe), an anthraquinone derivative, exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory effects and other pharmacological activities, but its clinical application remains limited due to poor solubility. The present work aims at the improvement of solubility and oral bioavailability of Rhe through cocrystal formation. For this purpose, Rhe and matrine (Mat) were selected as pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and cocrystal former (CCF), respectively, and the Rhe-Mat cocrystal was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The formation mechanism of Rhe-Mat cocrystal was elucidated by molecular surface electrostatic potential (MSEP). It is worth mentioning that the 50-fold increment of dissolution in vitro was observed in pure water in the form of Rhe-Mat cocrystal. Furthermore, the in vivo studies revealed that Rhe-Mat cocrystal indicated the faster absorption rate and the higher peak blood concentration than the pure Rhe. Hence, it can be concluded that current study successfully improved the solubility and oral bioavailability of Rhe.
