This study aimed to design multi-component crystal and amorphous forms for the co-delivery of levofloxacin (LVF) and 4-aminosalicylic acid (ASA). New multi-component crystals of LVF and ASA, crystal-I and crystal-II, were formed by solvent evaporation and slurry conversion. Thermal analysis revealed that crystal-I and crystal-II were the hydrate and anhydrate forms, respectively. Upon heating, each crystal was converted to different crystals. All polymorphs reverted to crystal-I during storage. The co-amorphous (CA) form was obtained by spray drying, which exhibited a relatively high glass transition temperature above 100 °C. Multi-component crystals and CA were estimated as salts by single crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. An <em>in vitro</em> aerodynamic performance test was performed for LVF, ASA, physical mixture (PM), crystal-I, and CA. The fine particle fraction (FPF, %) of LVF/ASA was 0.9/13.3 for pure drugs and 0.4/14.1 for PM. However, the FPF (%) for crystal-I and CA significantly improved to 25.4/29.9 and 20.0/20.6, respectively, with the co-delivery of LVF and ASA.

A model was developed to determine the kinetic rate constant of moisture sorption and desorption for different storage conditions.

All excipients reached their swelling peak within the first day of storage, with permanent particle size enlargement for CCS and SSG, whereas MCC displayed a partial reversibility post-storage.

Despite growing interest, there remain notable gaps in the understanding of the influence of plant extract concentration on the physiochemical properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), particularly regarding their size. Conflicting reports suggest an increase in AgNP size with increased extract concentration, and others suggest the opposite. To address this, this study explores the influence of varying <em>Spinacia oleracea</em> (<em>S. oleracea</em>) leaf extract concentrations on the physiochemical properties of AgNPs and their antimicrobial activity against Gram negative (<em>Escherichia coli</em>), Gram positive (<em>Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes</em>) bacteria and Fungi (<em>Candida albicans</em>).

Regarding antimicrobial activity, the lower concentration AgNPs (AgNP-2% and AgNP-3%) showed no activity, while all the higher concentrations AgNPs displayed full inhibition of all tested microbes.

Upon recognizing viral RNA, RIG-I induces secretion of type-I interferons (IFNs). Type I IFNs not only invite antiviral effects but also plays an effective role in cancer immunotherapy. Therefore, activation of RIG-I by the ligands has gained attention as a novel cancer immunotherapy in recent years.
