Quetiapine, an antipsychotic drug used for schizophrenia treatment, is poorly water soluble, and therefore, administration of the more water-soluble quetiapine fumarate is preferred. Absorption of quetiapine through biological membranes may be improved by enhancing the solubility of the quetiapine base, the non-ionic form. In this study, the currently used salt form was converted into the free ...

One of the biggest challenges faced by pharmaceutical scientists is poor solubility and bioavailability of new chemical entities (NCEs). According to BCS classification; approximately 25% of all compounds are classified as highly soluble and permeable. Nearly 40% of the new chemical entities currently being discovered are lipophilic so poorly water soluble drugs. BCS Class II and Class IV have ...

Solid dispersions is an efficient means of improving the dissolution rate and hence the bioavailability of a range of poorly soluble drugs. This article reviews the various types of solid dispersion, preparation techniques for solid dispersion and compiles some of the recent technologies. Some of the practical aspects to be considered for the preparation of solid dispersions, such as selection ...

Much research has focused on changes in solubility and mobility of trace metals in soils under incubation. In this experiment, changes in solubility and mobility of trace metals (Pb, Cu and As) and Fe in two contaminated soils from Tampa, Florida and Montreal, Canada were examined. Soils of 30 g were packed in columns and were incubated for 3-80 days under water-flooding incubation. Following i...

knowledge of transport and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) is important in assessing pah contamination of soils and water resources. the transport of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene was determined in a contaminated calcareous soil obtained from the shadegan wetland (khozestan, iran) considering a column study in laboratory conditions. the pahs were added ...

(H(2)O)(32)-shell structure constructed by two unique water molecules in high symmetry crystal leads to good water-solubility of the obtained compound 1.

Background: The use of Glass ionomer cements (GIC) as restorative materials is beneficial due to fluoride release and ease of application. Strength and solubility are important properties that can affect the longevity of restorative materials in the oral environment. Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate compressive, diametral tensile strength and solubility of a nanofilled GIC (Keta...

Alternating flooding and drainage conditions have a strong influence on redox chemistry and the solubility of trace metals in paddy soils. However, current knowledge of how the effects of water management on trace metal solubility are linked to trace metal uptake by rice plants over time is still limited. Here, a field-contaminated paddy soil was subjected to two flooding and drainage cycles in...

The solubility of sodium acetate in ternary solvent mixtures of water + methanol (MeOH) + acetonitrile (ACN), water + MeOH + 1-propanol (PrOH), water + PrOH + ACN, and MeOH + PrOH + ACN at 298.2 K is reported and mathematically represented using two numerical analyses (based on measured solubility data in 54 ternary mixtures containing the particular solvents in the mass fraction ranges between...

To understand the prenucleation stage of methane hydrate formation, we measured methane solubility under metastable conditions using molecular dynamics simulations. Three factors that influence solubility are considered: temperature, pressure, and the strength of the modeled van der Waals attraction between methane and water. Moreover, the naturally formed water cages and methane clusters in th...
