Solubility and thermodynamic function of a new anticancer drug ibrutinib in 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol + water mixtures at different temperatures

Ibrutinib is a recently approved anticancer drug recommended for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It has been reported as practically insoluble in water and hence it is available in the market at higher doses. Poor solubility of ibrutinib limits its development to oral solid dosage forms only. In this work, the solubilities of ibrutinib were measured in various 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol (Carbitol) + water mixtures at T = (298.15 to 323.15) and p = 0.1 MPa. The solubility of ibrutinib was measured using an isothermal method. The thermodynamics function of ibrutinib was also studied. The measured solubilities of ibrutinib were correlated and fitted with Van’t Hoff, the modified Apelblat and Yalkowsky models. The results of curve fitting of all three models showed good correlation of experimental solubilities of ibrutinib with calculated ones. The mole fraction solubility of ibrutinib was observed highest in pure 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol (2.67 · 10⁻² at T = 298.15 K) and lowest in pure water (1.43 · 10⁻⁷ at T = 298.15 K) at T = (298.15 to 323.15) K. Thermodynamics data of ibrutinib showed an endothermic, spontaneous and an entropy-driven dissolution behavior of ibrutinib in all 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol + water mixtures. Based on these results, ibrutinib has been considered as practically insoluble in water and freely soluble in 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol. Therefore, 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol could be used as a physiologically compatible cosolvent for solubilization and stabilization of ibrutinib in an aqueous media. The solubility data of this work could be extremely useful in preformulation studies and formulation development of ibrutinib.

Solubility of celecoxib in carbitol + water mixtures at various temperatures: experimental data and mathematical modelling

ABSTRACT

A brief review on various solubilisation techniques of coxibs is provided and the solubility of celecoxib (CXB) in binary solvent mixtures of {carbitol (1) + water (2)} is reported at temperatures ranging from 298.2 to 313.2 K. Three cosolvency models, i.e. Yalkowsky model, Jouyban–Acree model and the Jouyban–Acree–van’t Hoff model, have been used for correlating the reported data, and the mean relative deviations are employed to evaluate the accuracy of the fitness. Solubilities are also predicted by the generally trained version of the Jouyban–Acree model and its combined model with Abraham solute parameters previously proposed for {carbitol (1) + water (2)} binary mixtures. Furthermore, the apparent thermodynamic properties of dissolution process of CXB in all -investigated solvents were calculated according to van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations.     

Solubility prediction of deferiprone in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone + ethanol mixtures at various temperatures using a minimum number of experimental data

Experimental solubility of deferiprone (DFP) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) + ethanol (EtOH) mixtures at 293.2, 298.2, 303.2 and 308.2 K was determined and mathematically represented using various models. The trained versions of the van’t Hoff equation, its combined version with log-linear model, Jouyban–Acree model and a combination of van’t Hoff + Jouyban–Acree model were reported to simulate DFP solubility in the binary mixture compositions at various temperatures. The mean percentage deviation (MPD) was used as an accuracy criterion. The obtained overall MPDs for back-calculated and predicted solubility of DFP in NMP + EtOH mixtures varied from 1.1% to 3.2% and 2.6% to 6.6%, respectively. Some of apparent thermodynamic quantities for the dissolution processes of DFP are also reported.

Equilibrium solubility of sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate in binary (sodium chloride + water), (sodium sulfate + water), and (ethanol + water) solvent mixtures at temperatures from (278.15 to 323.15) K

The equilibrium solubility of sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate in binary (sodium chloride + water), (sodium sulfate + water), and (ethanol + water) solvent mixtures was measured at elevated temperatures from (278.15 to 323.15) K using a steady-state method. With increasing temperatures, the solubility increases in aqueous solvent mixtures. The results of these results were regressed by a modified Apelblat equation. The dissolution entropy and enthalpy determined using the method of the least-squares and the change of Gibbs free energy calculated with the values of Δ_diffS^o and Δ_diffH^o at T = 278.15 K.     

Solubility of sildenafil citrate in propylene glycol + water mixtures at various temperatures

The solubility of sildenafil citrate (SC) in aqueous mixtures of propylene glycol (PG) was investigated. This study was carried out at different mass fractions of PG ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 at T = 293.2–313.2 K. The solubility of SC in the mixed solutions increased with increasing temperature and PG mass fraction.

The solubility values were correlated by two co-solvency models (Jouyban–Acree model and van’t Hoff–Jouyban–Acree model). The mean relative deviations (MRD) were 5.7% and 5.5%, respectively. Density of the SC-saturated solutions over the entire solvent composition and temperature range was also measured and the results correlated with the Jouyban–Acree model. Furthermore, the apparent thermodynamic properties, dissolution enthalpy, dissolution entropy and Gibbs free energy change of dissolution process of SC in all the mixed solvents were calculated according to van’t Hoff and Gibbs equations. Dissolution of SC in these mixed solvents is an endothermic process.     

Solubility and solution thermodynamics of 2,3,4,5-tetrabromothiophene in (ethanol + tetrahydrofuran) binary solvent mixtures

The solubility of 2,3,4,5-tetrabromothiophene in (ethanol + tetrahydrofuran) binary solvent mixtures was measured within the temperature range from (278.15 to 322.15) K. The solubility increases with the rise of temperature, while it decreases with increasing ethanol content at constant temperature. The experimental data were fitted using the two variants of the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich–Kister (CNIBS/R–K) equation and the Jouyban–Acree equation, respectively. All the three equations were proven to give good representations of the experimental values. Computational results showed that the variant two of CNIBS/R–K equation was superior to the other two equations. The thermodynamic properties of the solution process, including the Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy, were calculated by the van’t Hoff analysis. The values of both the enthalpy change and the standard molar Gibbs free energy change of solution were positive, which indicated that the process was endothermic.     

Equilibrium solubility,preferential solvation and apparent specific volume of sucrose in some {cosolvent (1) + water (2)} mixtures at 298.2 K

Sucrose is the most widely used sweetener in food and pharmaceuticals. Solubility data of this excipient in aqueous cosolvent mixtures is not abundant. Thus, the main objective of this research was to determine and correlate the equilibrium solubility of sucrose in some {cosolvent (1) + water (2)} mixtures at 298.2 K. Cosolvents were ethanol, propylene glycol and glycerol. Shaken flask method was used to determine isothermal solubility. Concentration measurements were performed by means of density determinations. Solubility of sucrose decreases non-linearly with the addition of cosolvent to water. By means of the inverse Kirkwood–Buff method it is shown that sucrose is preferentially solvated by cosolvent in water-rich mixtures but preferentially solvated by water in cosolvent-rich mixtures. Jouyban–Acree model correlates solubility values with the mixtures composition for all cosolvent systems. Moreover, apparent specific volume of sucrose was also calculated from density and compositions.     

Solubility and preferential solvation of benzocaine in {methanol (1) + water (2)} mixtures at 298.15 K

The equilibrium solubility of benzocaine (BZC) in several {methanol (1) + water (2)} mixtures at 298.15 K was determined. Solubility values are expressed in mole fraction and molarity and were calculated with the Jouyban–Acree model. Preferential solvation parameters of BZC by methanol (δx_1,3) were derived from their thermodynamic solution properties using the inverse Kirkwood–Buff integrals method. δx_1,3 values are negative in water-rich mixtures (0.00 < x₁ < 0.32) but positive in the other mixtures (0.32 < x₁ < 1.00). To explain the preferential solvation by water in the former case, it is conjecturable that the hydrophobic hydration around non-polar groups of BZC plays a relevant role in the solvation. Moreover, the higher solvation by methanol in mixtures of similar cosolvent compositions and methanol-rich mixtures could be explained in terms of the higher basic behaviour of methanol regarding water.     

Measurements and modeling of LLE and HE for (methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene), and LLE for (water + methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene)

Excess enthalpy (H^E) for the binary system of (methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene) (TMP-1) is reported at T = 298.15 K and 101 kPa. (Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) for the same system is measured at atmospheric pressure (101 kPa). LLE for ternary system of (water + methanol + 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene) is measured at T = (283 and 298) K.The parameters of Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) model were regressed for the system of (methanol + TMP-1) using H^E and LLE from this work combined with isobaric (101 kPa) and isothermal (T = 331 K) VLE data from literature. The NRTL parameters for the binary system of (water + TMP-1) were fitted to a binary LLE data set from literature. NRTL parameters for the binary system of (water + methanol) were taken from ASPEN PLUS. The LLE for the ternary system was modeled by the three binary NRTL interaction parameters systems. The binary and ternary models were compared against the measured data.     

Isobaric (vapor + liquid) equilibrium data for the binary system methanol + 2-butyl alcohol and the quaternary system methyl acetate + methanol + 2-butyl alcohol + 2-butyl acetate at P = 101.33 kPa

In this paper, isobaric (vapor + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) data for the binary system methanol + 2-butyl alcohol and the quaternary system methyl acetate + methanol + 2-butyl alcohol + 2-butyl acetate were determined at P = 101.33 kPa in a modified Rose still. The binary VLE data were found to be thermodynamic consistency by the Herrington method. The VLE data for the binary system were correlated by the Wilson and NRTL equations respectively, which were used to predict the VLE data of the quaternary system. The results showed that the Wilson and NRTL models matched well with the (vapor + liquid) phase equilibrium data. The deviations for the vapor-phase compositions and the equilibrium temperatures are reasonably small and the models are both suitable for these systems.     

Thermodynamic excess properties for binary mixtures of (butanenitrile + a carboxylic acid) atT = 298.15 K

Excess molar enthalpies and excess molar volumes for (butanenitrile  +  acetic acid, or propanoic acid, or butanoic acid, or 2-methylpropanoic acid, or pentanoic acid, or 3-me thylbutanoic acid) atT =  298.15 K are presented. The excess molar enthalpy values are found to be positive for all six systems, whereas the excess molar volumes are found to be negative. The excess molar enthalpy values are correlated by the UNIQUAC and NRTL models and also by the Redlich–Kister polynomial.     

(Vapor + liquid) equilibrium of the binary mixtures formed by acetonitrile with selected compounds at 95.5 kPa

Bubble point temperatures at 95.5 kPa, over the entire composition range, are measured for the binary mixtures of acetonitrile with acetyl acetone, anisole, bromobenzene, isopropyl alcohol, methyl tertiary butyl ether, and tetra ethoxy silane – making use of a Swietoslawski type ebulliometer. The measured liquid phase composition versus bubble point temperature are found to be well represented by the Wilson model. Measured values of the liquid phase mole fraction versus bubble point temperature data are presented, along with the computed values of the vapor phase mole fractions and activity coefficients, and discussed.     

The precise measurement of the (vapour + liquid) equilibrium properties for (CO2 + isobutane) binary mixtures

Recently, it has been suggested that natural working fluids, such as CO₂, hydrocarbons, and their mixtures, could provide a long-term alternative to fluorocarbon refrigerants. (Vapour + liquid) equilibrium (VLE) data for these fluids are essential for the development of equations of state, and for industrial process such as separation and refinement. However, there are large inconsistencies among the available literature data for (CO₂ + isobutane) binary mixtures, and therefore provision of reliable and new measurements with expanded uncertainties is required. In this study, we determined precise VLE data using a new re-circulating type apparatus, which was mainly designed by Akico Co., Japan. An equilibrium cell with an inner volume of about 380 cm³ and two optical windows was used to observe the phase behaviour. The cell had re-circulating loops and expansion loops that were immersed in a thermostatted liquid bath and air bath, respectively. After establishment of a steady state in these loops, the compositions of the samples were measured by a gas chromatograph (GL Science, GC-3200). The VLE data were measured for CO₂/propane and CO₂/isobutane binary mixtures within the temperature range from 300 K to 330 K and at pressures up to 7 MPa. These data were compared with the available literature data and with values predicted by thermodynamic property models.     

Equilibrium solubility of carbon dioxide in the amine solvent system of (triethanolamine + piperazine + water)

In this study, a new set of data for the equilibrium solubility of carbon dioxide in the amine solvent system that consists of triethanolamine (TEA), piperazine (PZ), and water is presented. Equilibrium solubility values were obtained at T = (313.2, 333.2, and 353.2) K and pressures up to 153 kPa using the vapour-recirculation equilibrium cell. The TEA concentrations in the considered ternary (solvent) mixture were (2 and 3) kmol · m^?3 and those of PZ’s were (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5) kmol · m^?3. The solubility data (CO₂ loading in the amine solution) obtained were correlated as a function of CO₂ partial pressure, system temperature, and amine composition via the modified Kent–Eisenberg model. Results showed that the model applied is generally satisfactory in representing the CO₂ absorption into mixed aqueous solutions of TEA and PZ.
