Aqueous solubility is often a limiting factor in any concentration-dependent process and n-octanol/water partition coefficient, usually expressed as log P, is equilibrium between surrogate of nonaqueous biophases and water phase. The aqueous solubility of seven liquid monoterpenes: (+/-)-beta-citronellol, (+/-)-linalool, linalyl acetate, (-)-alpha-pinene, (-)-beta-pinene, eucalyptol and terpine...

piroxicam (px), an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility, dissolution and flow properties. thus, the aim of the present study was to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of px by freeze drying technique using dimethylformamide (dmf), chloroform and water as co-solvent system. the prepared crystals containing px were evaluated for dmf and chloroform solvent residual by ga...

This study evaluated the chemical properties such as water sorption, water solubility and solvent resistance of a new resin material consisting of 1,3-bis(3-methacryloxypropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (BMPMS) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Water sorption was evaluated by immersing the specimens in water at 37±1°C for 1 week, water solubility was evaluated by keeping the specimens in a des...

It is well documented that Pb solubility may be related to Fe chemistry in soils and enhanced Pb solubility may occur under certain reducing conditions; however, quantification of such relationships is unavailable. Based on metal classification, Pb (II) and Fe (II) are similar in some chemical characteristics. Thus, competition between Pb and Fe for ligands in soils may be important in determin...

In the present investigation, mixed-solvency approach has been applied for the enhancement of aqueous solubility of a poorly water- soluble drug, zaltoprofen (selected as a model drug), by making blends (keeping total concentrations 40% w/v, constant) of selected water-soluble substances from among the hydrotropes (urea, sodium benzoate, sodium citrate, nicotinamide); water-soluble solids (PEG-...

OBJECTIVES To measure the water sorption and solubility of different resin-based restorative dental materials. METHODS Eight commercial restorative materials were selected: two resin composites (Z100 and Prodigy), four polyacid-modified resin composites (Compoglass, Compoglass F, Dyract and Dyract AP), and two light-cured glass ionomers (Vitremer and Fuji II LC). Five disc specimens were prep...
