The objective of this study was to detect nabumetone cocrystals by use of DSC and FTIR tools and identify potential cocrystal formers from its large numbers which can be functional for further dosage development. Nabumetone cocrystals were prepared at molar stoichiometric ratio with cocrystal former by solvent evaporation and subsequently vaccum dried at 50�°C. Eight out of the thirty tested formed cocrystals with nabumetone viz. Salicylic acid, benzoic acid, m-hydroxy benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, malonic acid, glutaric acid, maleic acid and ferulic acid. We have applied the utility of DSC and FTIR for rapid nabumetone cocrystal screening which encourages use of number cocrystal formers for given set of experiment. The detected new phase can be further transformed to develop bioequivalent dosage as like parent form or even improved one
