Q

Pharmaceutical principles

A
  • Solvents and solubility
    • ​Non-Polar Solvents = MINERAL OIL
    • Semi-Polar Solvents = Ethanol / GLycols
    • Polar solvents = water
  • Solvent Categories
    • based on their dipole moment / polarity of solvent
  • Solubility Generalizations
    • ability of sulute to form HYDROGEN BONDS with solvent is very important in determining solubility
    • soluble drugs desirble for GI obsorption
  • Solubility application to dosage form design /prep
  • Dispersion size
