Solubility of solute in particular solvent
The maximum concentration of the solute dissolved in that particular solvent
results in the liberation of solute
molecules from the solid phase to the liquid phase
Interfacial tension
solute molecules must migrate through the boundary layers surrounding the crystal to the bulk of solution
Migration
involves a phase change so that
molecules of solid become molecules of solute in the solvent in which the crystal is dissolving
Interfacial Tension
a process of relocation of solute molecules from an environment where they are surrounded by other identical molecules
Dissolution
static or slowmoving layers of liquid that surround all
solid surfaces that are surrounded by liquid
that inhibit the movement of solute
molecules from the surface of the solid to
the bulk of the solution
Boundary Layer
Rate of Diffusion
obeys Fick’s Law of Diffusion
Fick’s Law of Diffusion
states that the rate of change in
concentration of dissolved material with time is directly proportional to the concentration difference between the two sides of the diffusion layer
Rate of Dissolution obeys
Noyes-Whitney Equation
Noyes Whitney Equation
the rate of mass transfer of solute
molecules or ions through a static
diffusion layer is directly proportional to
the area available for molecular or ionic
migration, the concentration difference
across the boundary layer; and is
inversely proportional to the thickness of
the boundary layer

When are non-aqn solvents used?
Used when drug is insufficiently soluble in aqueous systems or when certain properties, like prolonged release, are desired
How to enhance solubility?
- adjust pH
- cosolvency with glycerol, propylene glycol, ehtanol, low MW PEGs
- complexation with cyclodextrins
- surfactants and micelles, take note cmc and mac
