In this paper three novel salts of the anti-tuberculosis drug Isoniazid (INH) with the GRAS salt formers (oxalic, maleic and methanesulfonic acids) were supramolecularly synthesized by solvent evaporation method. Aiming to expand the diversity of supramolecular synthons of this drug as well as obtaining new solid forms with enhanced solubility and thermal stability, these salts namely oxalate (INH−OXA), maleate (INH−MAL) and mesylate (INH−MES) were fully characterized by X-ray diffraction (SCXRD, PXRD), spectroscopic (FT-IR) and thermal (TGA, DSC, HSM) techniques. At the same time, salts' solubility was explored. Analysis of the crystal structures and packings were analyzed in details, showing that the INH salts exhibit layered structures stabilized by N–H⋯O, C–H⋯O and π···π interactions. The salt formations were confirmed from the FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra and their thermal behaviors indicate that INH−OXA and INH−MES are thermally more stable than the corresponding INH. The equilibrium solubilities of these salts, in different buffered media, were evaluated and both INH−MAL and INH−MES were found to be more soluble (∼3 fold) than INH. Therefore, the present study proved that salt formation is an efficient strategy to enhance solubility and thermal stability of INH.
