Clopidogrel, an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, selectively inhibits the binding of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to its platelet receptor and the subsequent ADP-mediated activation of the glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa complex, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation. Oral bioavailability of clopidogrel is very low (less than 50%), due to its poor water solubility. The aim of this investigation was ...

Gliclazide is a second-generation hypoglycaemic sulfonylurea that is useful in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It shows low aqueous solubility and dissolution rate and often shows low and irregular bioavailability after oral administration. This paper describes an approach to improve the Solubility of gliclazide by using solid dispersions (SDs) in polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000)....

Components of the chiral vector of carbon nanotubes have been examined in role of structural descriptors. Two-variable models of water solubility and octanol water partition coefficient calculated with components of the chiral vectors have quite good statistical characteristics. These are in case of the water solubility: n=8, r(2)=0.99998, s=0.05338, F=126,611 (training set); n=8, r(2)=0.9999, ...

The aqueous solubility of 39 insecticidal and related compounds was determined at 20 +/- 1.5 degrees C, using a previously described shaking and centrifugation method. Fenamiphos, fenthion and methidathion produced values substantially less than those reported in the literature whereas, aminocarb, diazinon, dicapthon, pirimiphos-ethyl and pirimiphos-methyl gave solubilities substantially greate...

Experimentally, the solubility of oligoglycines in water decreases as its length increases. Computationally, the free energy of solvation becomes more favorable with chain length for short (n = 1-5) oligoglycines. We present results of large scale simulations with over 600 pentaglycines at varying concentrations in explicit solvent to consider the mechanism of aggregation. The solubility limit ...

The possibility and usefulness of sinple liquid models is reported. The importance of van der Waals forces for liquid water and aqueous solutions is discussed and compared with the solubility of water in nonpolar solvents and as well as of nonpolar solvents in water. Both systems could be understood as equilibrium of few water monomers. The network of H-bonded water molecules seems to be less i...

Due to low cost, ease of administration, and lack need for trained personnel, the oral route is the most convenient and accessible way to design different medicines that could be simply consumed by patients. Regardless of the great benefits of this route, the main challenge in the bioavailability of oral medications is gastrointestinal instability. Nanotechnology is used to improve the solubili...
