  • Adhesion
    • Attraction of UNLIKE molecules
      • Dipole moments
        • Reduce entropy / impose structure in liquids
      • Ion-dipole iteractions

Q

Steps to DISSOLUTION

A
  1. Remove molecule from the crystal lattice (disruption of solid mass)
    1. REQUIRES WORK ++
  2. ​Cavity must be created (HOLE)
    1. ​REQUIRES WORK ++
  3. Dissolving solute molecule Moves into the cavity and interacts with the solvent (INSERTING)
    1. LOSES WORK —
      1. ​-n x work​​

**Dissolution occurs as long as the SUM is <0

17
Q

Indicators of Molecular Cohesion

between solute molecules

A

The Boiling Point of liquids

&

melting point or glass transition of solids

INCREASE Phase transition temp –> DECREASE solubility

18
Q

Hydration of Ions

A

Size and Charge Matter!

may have opposing effects on solubility

19
Q

Hydrophobic Hydration

A

Nonpolar portions of solute molecules have a high structure

INDUCING EFFECT

V

REDUCES the entropy of the solution

**due to water “cage” reduces entropy

20
Q

Common Ion Effect

A

Use of a different salt form

V

Increases the apparent solubility

observed for hcl salts of some weakly basic drugs

21
Q

Salting OUT

A

Adding excipient salts w/ small cations / small anions (NaCl)

to solutions of drugs that dissociate in water to form saltes

—> REDUCE THE SOLUBILITY OF THE DRUG SALT

22
Q

Salting In

A

Addition of excipient salts w/ LARGE cations or Large anions (p-touelenesulfonate)

INCREASE the solubility of drug salt

23
Q

pH = pKa

A

50% of the drug is ionized

so….

Stotal = 2So

Stotal=So+[Concentration of ionized species]

So=solubility of UNIONIZED form

24
Q

Amphoteric Substances

A

Drugs are both weakly basic / acidic

there exist a pH where the net charge is ZERO

= Isoelectric point

@isoelectric point solubiity is MINUMUM

25
Q

Determining pKa

using solubility data

A

*for poorly soluble drugs that are weak acids/bases

you can estimate pKa

When pH is @ 2 x (solubility of unionized form So)

ph = pKa

26
Q

Solubility changes by a Factor of 10 when….

A

*in pH regions where most of the drug is IONIZED…

Changing the pH by 1

–> solubility changes by a factor of 10!

*unless ionized form is exceeded.

***adjusting pH to favor formation of an ionized form is a great way to increase solubility of an ionizable drug

27
Q

Water as a Solvent

A
  • Polar Solvant
  • High dielectric constant = 80
  • ~modest dipole moment =1.84 debye units
  • High hildebrand solubility parameter
    • 23cal1/2cm-3/2, related to solvent’s cohesive e- density
    • measure of how difficult it is to remove a molecule of solvent by vaporization from the bulk solvent
28
Q

Non-Polar Solvents

A
  • Benzane
    • Dielectric constant = 2 & 0 dipole moment
  • Hexane
    • Dielectric constant = 2 & 0 dipole moment
  • CO2
    • Dielectric constant = 1.6 & 0 dipole moment
29
Q

Solvents w/ INTERMEDIATE polarity

A
  • Ethanol / Isopropanol / Acetone
    • miscible with BOTH polar and non-polar solvents
  • have intermediate dielectric constants/dipole moments / hildebrand solubility parameters
  • *used to wash away spills, since it should be able to dissolve most things
30
Q

Aqueous Co-solvents

A
  • Solvents of intermediate polarity
    • ethanol/glycerol/ propylene glycol, polyoxethylene glycos
  • Mixed w/ Water to solubize poorly soluble non-polar drug substances
  • *NONLINEAR / NONIDEAL
    • ​hard to predict the solubility
  • BEWARE OF TOXICITY ISSUES
    • ​percipitation can form
    • Metabolic products of ethylene glycols
      • prefer propylene glycol
31
Q

Complexation

A

Co-solutes that interact w/ poorly soluble solutes form complexes

–>ENHANCES Solubility

of poorly soluble solutes if the complex itself has high h2o solubility

ex. cyclodextrins / serum albumin (acts as a carrier)
* ~slow rate of administration needed to allow for drug to form complex with serum albumin*

32
Q

Shake-flask Method

A

Used to measure Octonal-water partition coefficients

  1. Mix Octanol / Water
  2. Known amount of drug added -> shaken vigorously
  3. Phases are allowed to seperate
    1. Drug is measured in each phase
33
Q

Half-Maximal Partitioning

for Weak Acids (ph~5)

A

50% of maximum partitioning occurs at this pH

pH = pKa + logP (octonal/water)

PLUS

This is how drugs are mostly ionized @ intestines

@pH of 6-7, and are readily absorbed through lipid membranes

34
Q

Half-maximal partitioning

for Weak Bases

A

50% of maximum partitioning occurs at this pH

pH = pKa - logP (octonal/water)

MINUS

35
Q

LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE

37
Q

Adhesion

A

Attraction of UNLIKE molecules

  • Dipole moments
    • Reduce entropy / impose structure in liquids
  • Ion-dipole iteractions
    • enhance solubility of ionic species in solvents w/ larger dipole moments
  • Hydrogen bonds
    • enhance local structure formation in solvents w/ larger dipole moments
38
Q
