Solubility 1/2 Flashcards
Rare Exceptions to solubility
-
Chemically “inert” nanoparticals
- gold
- Carrier for chemically insoluble drugs
- Imaging agents
- silver
- antimicrobial agent
- gold
-
Insoluble Particles
- Dimensions mimicking rod-shaped bacteria (1x5um)
- local irritation / tissue dmg when into the lung
- carcinogen = exposure is chronic
- Silica/carbon/asbestos
- Dimensions mimicking rod-shaped bacteria (1x5um)
- **SIZE MATTERS
M-cells
- Specialized cells in GI tract
- *PHAGOCYTOSIS
- transport sub-micron size insoluble particles
- Bypass blood/liver
-
LIMITED CAPACITY
- need enough drug to have efficacy, so typically would not bring in enough.
- –> enter some infectious agents
Water Solubility is….
The key to success delivery of more than 99% of medicines in use.
Supersaturation
- When the soulubility limit is EXCEEDED
- solulte will spontaneously PRECIPITATE out of solution
- Not instantaneous
- persists for a period of time
- needs a seed –> nucleation
- persists for a period of time
- Factors that inhibit diffusion (inhibit aggregation
- viscosity
- low temperature
Maximum equilibrium solubility
=
*Under EQ, 2 process happening at same time
Rate of dissolution of the solute from a suspension of a undissolved particles of the solute in the solution is
=
the rate of precipitation and deposition of solute from the solution BACK onto solid particles of the solute suspended in the solvent
*LARGER PARTICALS => Grow at the expense of smaller paticles due to surface area
Non-electrolyte Solution
No ions are formed on dissolution in water
does not increase electrical conductivity of the solution
Electrolyte Solutions
Ions are formed upon dissolution in water
increases electrical conductivity
- Strong
- Dissociate completely
- HCl / Na2So4
- Weak
- Partial dissociation
- CO2, phenobarb, ephedrine <2
BCS
Definition of HIGHLY SOLUBLE
1 dose (highest available stength)
will dissolve completely in 250ml of water
between ph 1 - 7.5
**dose, not weight (as in USP)

Colloidal Dispersions
(nanosuspensions)
*NOT SOLUTIONS
Consist of small particles ranging between
1-~500nm
(egg white/jelly/blood plasma)
Coarse Dispersions
*NOT SOLUTIONS
Consist of particles LARGER than
~0.5um =
~500nm =
~500 Angstroms
suspensions that need to be shaken / sand&water / RBC in plasma
Forces Affecting Solubility
-
Cohesion
- Attraction of like molecules (like dissolves like)
-
Adhesion
- 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
-
Dipole moments
- Attraction of UNLIKE molecules
