Q

Slightly polar, can create -H bonds with water
• Smalls aldehyde and ketones are soluble in water
• Large ones are less polar and dissolve readily in non-polar solvents
• Have strong odors (Pungent for aldehydes and fragrant or fruity for ketones)
• Higher BP and MP than hydrocarbons but have lower BP and MP than alcohol

Q

• Primary (RNH2)
• Secondary (R2NH)
• Tertiary (R3N)
• Polar, water soluble because of -H
bonding interactions with water
molecules
• Water solubility decreases as chain
length increases and the degree of N-substitution increases

Q

• Water soluble drugs
• Ionized or polar drugs
• Cannot easily cross biological membranes, these drugs
can cross the lipid bilayer only via facilitated transport

HYDROPHILIC DRUGS

17
Q

2 RULES

A

The more lipid soluble the drug – more absorption

The more water soluble the drug – less absorption

18
Q

A substance will become more lipid soluble in a solution with a pH similar to its own pH

A

pH of the Drug

19
Q

• Become more non ionized in acidic pH and ionized in basic pH
• Better absorbed in acidic media
• A weak acid is more lipid soluble in acidic solution
• Example: Aspirin is better absorbed in the stomach
• A weak acid is more water soluble in basic solution

A

ACIDIC DRUGS

20
Q

• Become more non ionized in basic pH and ionized in acidic pH
• A weak base is more lipid soluble in basic solution
• Example: Diazepam is better absorbed in the intestine • A weak base is more water soluble in an acidic solution
