The modified extended Hansen method was tested for the first time to determine partial solubility parameters of non-polymeric pharmaceutical excipients. The method was formerly tested with drug molecules, and is based upon a regression analysis of the logarithm of the mole fraction solubility of the solute against the partial solubility parameters of a series of solvents of different chemical c...

Upon oral administration the solubility of a drug in intestinal fluid is a key property influencing bioavailability. It is also recognised that simple aqueous solubility does not reflect intestinal solubility and to optimise in vitro investigations simulated intestinal media systems have been developed. Simulated intestinal media which can mimic either the fasted or fed state consists of multip...

The modified square well Potential is combined with perturbed-hard-trimer-chain (PHTC) EOS to predict the solubility parameter of several fluids including alkanes, refrigerants and molten polymers. The performance of the proposed model has been evaluated by predicting the solubility parameter of 12 hydrocarbons,3 refrigerants, and 12 polymers. From the 263 data points for hydrocarbons and refri...

Poor aqueous solubility is a major challenge for the drug development process, and many strategies have been developed to combat this problem. Cocrystals have gathered much interest in the recent years, due to their ability to enhance drug solubilities by orders of magnitude. However, highly soluble cocrystals tend to undergo rapid solution mediated transformation back to less soluble drug form...

Water solubility is a key aspect that needs to be addressed to obtain drug-like compounds. In an effort to improve the water solubility of our recently reported nanomolar matrix metalloproteinase type 2 (MMP-2) inhibitors based on triazole-substituted hydroxamates, we synthesized a new series of α-sulfone, α-tetrahydropyran and α-piperidine, α-sulfone clicked hydroxamates and determined their i...

Pendant oligoethyleneglycol groups confer water solubility to a cavitand over a wide pH range. The kinetic stability of the host-guest complexes reveals an effective stabilization through hydrogen bonding even in the highly competitive aqueous environment.
