    Introduction to Thermodynamics in Pharmacy

    • Thermodynamics principles are fundamental to understanding pharmacy practice.
    • Key concepts include understanding entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs Free Energy related to pharmaceutical processes.
    • Differential scanning calorimetry is crucial for evaluating drug-related enthalpy processes.

    Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

    • States that if two bodies are each in thermal equilibrium with a third body, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
    • Impacts medication storage and efficacy; ensuring drugs are kept at proper temperatures is critical.

    First Law of Thermodynamics

    • Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. Total energy remains constant.
    • Change in internal energy (ΔE) can be calculated using the equation: ΔE = q + w, where 'q' is heat and 'w' is work.

    Enthalpy

    • Enthalpy (H) represents the heat content in processes at constant pressure.
    • Positive ΔH indicates endothermic processes (heat absorbed), while negative ΔH indicates exothermic processes (heat released).
    • Example: Anti-HIV drugs' binding affinities evaluated through ΔH values to discern enthalpic favorability.

    Applications of Enthalpy

    • Used in evaluating drug processes such as binding, dissolution, and crystallization.
    • Exothermic reactions, like sodium acetate crystallizing in heat pads, release energy and generate warmth.

    Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

    • DSC measures the heat flow of samples to assess enthalpic changes.
    • This technique helps determine phase transitions (melting, crystallization) and drug-excipient compatibility.
    • Applications include assessing drug stability, identifying polymorphs, and measuring reaction enthalpies.

    Second Law of Thermodynamics

    • This law explains the natural tendency of processes to occur towards a state of increased randomness or entropy.
    • For spontaneous processes, the total entropy of the system and surroundings will remain constant at equilibrium (ΔSuniverse = 0).
    • Entropy plays a role in the binding behaviors of poorly water-soluble drugs, influenced by their interactions with proteins like albumin.
