Thermodynamics in Pharmacy
- Basic laws of thermodynamics are essential for understanding pharmacy practices.
- Key concepts include entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs Free Energy in pharmaceutical systems.
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
- Defines thermal equilibrium: If bodies A and B are in thermal equilibrium with body C, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
- Impacts medication storage; maintaining correct temperatures is crucial.
Internal Energy, Work, and Heat
- Internal energy relates to the microscale but is measurable via work and heat macroscopically.
- Work is the mechanical energy transfer; primarily focuses on pressure-volume work.
- Heat is defined as thermal energy in transit.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms.
- The overall energy in a closed system remains constant: ΔE = q + w.
Enthalpy
- Enthalpy (H) measures the heat content of a process; change in enthalpy reflects heat absorbed or released.
- Enthalpically favored processes (ΔH < 0) release heat (exothermic), while those that absorb heat (ΔH > 0) are endothermic.
Enthalpy in Drug Processes
- Example: Enthalpy of binding of anti-HIV drugs to HIV protease shows different binding affinities based on ΔH values.
- Understanding which drugs are most/least enthalpically favorable aids in drug development.
Exothermic Reactions and Drug Dissolution
- Heat pads utilize the exothermic crystallization of sodium acetate; they feel warm as energy is released.
- Ice packs leverage endothermic processes, like ammonium nitrate dissolution, leading to cooling effects.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
- DSC is a technique for measuring heat flow differences in drug-related processes, critical for thermal analysis.
- Applications include measuring melting points (ΔHfus), mixing, solvation enthalpy, and assessing compatibility of excipients with drugs.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Concerns the probability and direction of spontaneous processes, emphasizing that systems tend toward increased randomness (entropy).
- At equilibrium, the net entropy change between a system and its surroundings equals zero, confirming the spontaneous nature of irreversible processes.
