hydrochloride
Hydrochloride is a compound resulting from the interaction of hydrochloric acid with an organic base. It is often used in pharmaceuticals to convert organic compounds into a more soluble, hence more absorbable form. It's denoted by the formula HCl and commonly appears as a white crystalline substance.

Hydrochloride
In chemistry, hydrochlorides are salts resulting, or regarded as resulting, from the reaction of hydrochloric acid with an organic base. An archaic alternative name for "hydrochloride" is muriate, derived from hydrochloric acid's ancient name: muriatic acid. For example, reaction of pyridine with hydrochloric acid yields pyridine hydrochloride. Even though this style of formula is often used for denoting the hydrochlorides, the dot incorrectly implies that the two molecules are weakly bonded together; rather, what is present is the salt C5H5NH+ Cl- with the correct chemical name pyridinium chloride. Hydrochloric salts are most often referred to by using the name of the base, then simply tagging on hydrochloride or HCl. For example, while crack cocaine is the freebase of cocaine, the salt form is often referred to as cocaine HCl.
