    Study Notes

    Solubility of Drugs

    • Solubility is the concentration of solute in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.
    • Saturated solution: equilibrium between dissolved solute and undissolved solid.
    • Unsaturated solution: solute concentration is below saturation point.
    • Supersaturated solution: contains more solute than expected for that temperature.
    • Solubility modifies with chemical changes in the solute or solvent.

    Factors Affecting Solubility

    • Particle size and surface area of the drug influence solubility.
    • Molecular size impacts the interaction of solute and solvent molecules.
    • Boiling points of liquids and melting points of solids are critical for solubility.
    • Higher temperatures generally increase solubility for most solids.
    • pH levels of the solution can significantly affect solubility.

    Types of Solutions

    • Ideal solutions display identical interaction among components: solute-solvent, solvent-solvent, and solute-solute interactions are similar.
    • Non-ideal solutions show differing interactions, resulting in changes in enthalpy.
    • Ideal solution enthalpy change is zero; non-ideal solutions can have positive or negative enthalpy changes.

    Importance of Solubility in Pharmacy

    • Selecting appropriate solvents for drug formulation.
    • Addressing challenges during pharmaceutical solution preparation.

    • Solubility is the concentration of solute in a saturated solution at a specific temperature.
    • Saturated solution: equilibrium between dissolved solute and undissolved solid.
    • Unsaturated solution: solute concentration is below saturation point.
    • Supersaturated solution: contains more solute than expected for that temperature.
    • Solubility modifies with chemical changes in the solute or solvent.

    Factors Affecting Solubility

    • Particle size and surface area of the drug influence solubility.
    • Molecular size impacts the interaction of solute and solvent molecules.
    • Boiling points of liquids and melting points of solids are critical for solubility.
    • Higher temperatures generally increase solubility for most solids.
    • pH levels of the solution can significantly affect solubility.

    Types of Solutions

    • Ideal solutions display identical interaction among components: solute-solvent, solvent-solvent, and solute-solute interactions are similar.
    • Non-ideal solutions show differing interactions, resulting in changes in enthalpy.
    • Ideal solution enthalpy change is zero; non-ideal solutions can have positive or negative enthalpy changes.

    Importance of Solubility in Pharmacy

    • Selecting appropriate solvents for drug formulation.
    • Addressing challenges during pharmaceutical solution preparation.
    • Gaining insights into drug structures and intermolecular forces.
    • Many pharmaceuticals are administered as solutions or powders made into liquids.
    • Drugs with low aqueous solubility can pose formulation and bioavailability issues.

    Expression of Solubility

    • USP natively classifies solubility in parts of solvent required for one part of solute.
    • Categorized terms and corresponding solubility ranges include:
      • Very soluble (VS): ≥ 1000 mg/mL
      • Freely soluble (FS): 1 – 10 mg/mL
      • Soluble: 10 – 30 mg/mL
      • Sparingly soluble (SPS): 30 – 100 mg/mL
      • Slightly soluble (SS): 100 – 1000 mg/mL
      • Very slightly soluble (VSS): 1000 – 10,000 mg/mL
      • Practically insoluble (PI): > 10,000 mg/mL

    Solubility of Solid Substances in Various Solvents

    • Aluminum sulfate: Freely soluble in distilled water; insoluble in ethanol, chloroform, and ether.
    • Ascorbic acid: Freely soluble in distilled water; sparingly soluble in ethanol.
    • Calcium stearate: Insoluble in all tested solvents.

    Solubility of Liquid Substances

    • Benzene and chloroform: Miscible.
    • Water and alcohol: Miscible.
    • Water and oil: Immiscible.

    Effects of Temperature on Solubility

    • Heating can increase solubility: Calcium hydroxide went from slightly soluble to soluble upon heating.
    • Other solutes like sodium chloride remained soluble before and after heating.

    Effect of Other Substances on Solubility

    • Silver nitrate's solubility is unaffected when sodium chloride is added (precipitation occurs).
    • Aspirin's solubility improves when sodium citrate is added.

    Effect of pH on Solubility

    • Penicillin G sodium solution's solubility varies with pH (basic to acidic).
    • Diphenhydramine hydrochloride syrup's solubility is impacted by pH changes.
