•Thermodynamic approach for solubility improvement of co-crystal was developed.•The graphical technique for estimation of co-crystal solubility was elaborated.•Hydration enthalpies of some drugs and amino acids were calculated.•Applicability/operability of the approach was exemplified by some drugs and amino acids.
A novel thermodynamic approach to compare poorly soluble components (active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)) both in co-crystals and individual compounds was developed. An algorithm of choosing potential co-crystals with improved solubility characteristics on the basis of the known solvation/hydration API and co-former enthalpies is described. The applicability and operability of the algorithm were tested exemplified by some drugs and amino acids.
