Thermodynamic Study of the Solubility of Benzocaine in some Organic and Aqueous Solvents

The thermodynamic functions free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution, were evaluated from solubility data of benzocaine determined at several temperatures in octanol, water, and the mutually saturated solvents, in isopropyl myristate, water, and the mutually saturated solvents, and in cyclohexane. In aqueous media the solubility was determined at pH 7.4 and ionic strength 0.15 mol-L^–1. The excess free energy and the activity coefficients of the solutes also were determined. The solubility was higher in organic media, such as octanol and isopropyl myristate, than in aqueous media and cyclohexane.     

Temperature Dependence of Solubility for Ibuprofen in Some Organic and Aqueous Solvents

The thermodynamic functions—Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution—were evaluated from the solubilities of ibuprofen determined at several temperatures in the pure solvents: octanol, isopropyl myristate, chloroform, cyclohexane, and water. The organic solvent-saturated aqueous media and water-saturated organic solvents were also studied, except for cyclohexane. In aqueous media, the solubility was determined at pH = 7.4 and an ionic strength 0.15 mol-L^–1 (physiological values). The excess Gibbs energy and the activity coefficients of the solutes were also determined. The solubilities are higher in organic media such as chloroform and octanol than in aqueous media and cyclohexane.     

Temperature Dependence of the Solubility of Acetaminophen in Propylene Glycol + Ethanol Mixtures

The thermodynamic functions Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy of solution, mixing and solvation of acetaminophen in propylene glycol (PG) + ethanol (EtOH) cosolvent mixtures were evaluated from solubility data measured at several temperatures, using the van't Hoff and Gibbs equations. The solubility was greater at 50% m/m of PG at 20.0^C, while it was greater at 80% of PG at 40.0 ^C where m/m refers to mass percent. The solvation of this drug is appreciably greater in the mixtures than in the pure solvents. By means of an enthalpy–entropy compensation analysis, complex behavior was found for the solution. From 0 up to 20% of PG and from 60 up to 100% of PG the solution process is enthalpy driven, whereas from 20 up to 60% of PG it is entropy driven. These facts can be explained in terms of a decrease in the energy required for cavity formation in the solvent for mixtures containing 20–60% of PG.     

Solubility and Thermodynamic Data of Febuxostat in Various Mono Solvents at Different Temperatures

This study examines the solubility and thermodynamics of febuxostat (FBX) in a variety of mono solvents, including “water, methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH), isopropanol (IPA), 1-butanol (1-BuOH), 2-butanol (2-BuOH), ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PG), polyethylene glycol-400 (PEG-400), ethyl acetate (EA), Transcutol-HP (THP), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)” at 298.2–318.2 K and 101.1 kPa. The solubility of FBX was determined using a shake flask method and correlated with “van’t Hoff, Buchowski-Ksiazczak λh, and Apelblat models”. The overall error values for van’t Hoff, Buchowski-Ksiazczak λh, and Apelblat models was recorded to be 1.60, 2.86, and 1.14%, respectively. The maximum mole fraction solubility of FBX was 3.06 × 10⁻² in PEG-400 at 318.2 K, however the least one was 1.97 × 10⁻⁷ in water at 298.2 K. The FBX solubility increased with temperature and the order followed in different mono solvents was PEG-400 (3.06 × 10⁻²) > THP (1.70 × 10⁻²) > 2-BuOH (1.38 × 10⁻²) > 1-BuOH (1.37 × 10⁻²) > IPA (1.10 × 10⁻²) > EtOH (8.37 × 10⁻³) > EA (8.31 × 10⁻³) > DMSO (7.35 × 10⁻³) > MeOH (3.26 × 10⁻³) > PG (1.88 × 10⁻³) > EG (1.31 × 10⁻³) > water (1.14 × 10⁻⁶) at 318.2 K. Compared to the other combinations of FBX and mono solvents, FBX-PEG-400 had the strongest solute-solvent interactions. The apparent thermodynamic analysis revealed that FBX dissolution was “endothermic and entropy-driven” in all mono solvents investigated. Based on these findings, PEG-400 appears to be the optimal co-solvent for FBX solubility.     

Thermodynamic Solubility Profile of Temozolomide in Different Commonly Used Pharmaceutical Solvents

The solubility parameters, and solution thermodynamics of temozolomide (TMZ) in 10 frequently used solvents were examined at five different temperatures. The maximum mole fraction solubility of TMZ was ascertained in dimethyl sulfoxide (1.35 × 10⁻²), followed by that in polyethylene glycol-400 (3.32 × 10⁻³) > Transcutol^® (2.89 × 10⁻³) > ethylene glycol (1.64 × 10⁻³) > propylene glycol (1.47 × 10⁻³) > H₂O (7.70 × 10⁻⁴) > ethyl acetate (5.44 × 10⁻⁴) > ethanol (1.80 × 10⁻⁴) > isopropyl alcohol (1.32 × 10⁻⁴) > 1-butanol (1.07 × 10⁻⁴) at 323.2 K. An analogous pattern was also observed for the other investigated temperatures. The quantitated TMZ solubility values were regressed using Apelblat and Van’t Hoff models and showed overall deviances of 0.96% and 1.33%, respectively. Apparent thermodynamic analysis indicated endothermic, spontaneous, and entropy-driven dissolution of TMZ in all solvents. TMZ solubility data may help to formulate dosage forms, recrystallize, purify, and extract/separate TMZ.     

Solubility Determination,Hansen Solubility Parameters and Thermodynamic Evaluation of Thymoquinone in (Isopropanol + Water) Compositions

This article studies the solubility, Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs), and thermodynamic behavior of a naturally-derived bioactive thymoquinone (TQ) in different binary combinations of isopropanol (IPA) and water (H₂O). The mole fraction solubilities (x₃) of TQ in various (IPA + H₂O) compositions are measured at 298.2–318.2 K and 0.1 MPa. The HSPs of TQ, neat IPA, neat H₂O, and binary (IPA + H₂O) compositions free of TQ are also determined. The x₃ data of TQ are regressed by van’t Hoff, Apelblat, Yalkowsky–Roseman, Buchowski–Ksiazczak λh, Jouyban–Acree, and Jouyban–Acree–van’t Hoff models. The maximum and minimum x₃ values of TQ are recorded in neat IPA (7.63 × 10⁻² at 318.2 K) and neat H₂O (8.25 × 10⁻⁵ at 298.2 K), respectively. The solubility of TQ is recorded as increasing with the rise in temperature and IPA mass fraction in all (IPA + H₂O) mixtures, including pure IPA and pure H₂O. The HSP of TQ is similar to that of pure IPA, suggesting the great potential of IPA in TQ solubilization. The maximum molecular solute-solvent interactions are found in TQ-IPA compared to TQ-H₂O. A thermodynamic study indicates an endothermic and entropy-driven dissolution of TQ in all (IPA + H₂O) mixtures, including pure IPA and pure H₂O.     

Thermodynamic Characteristics of Phenacetin in Solid State and Saturated Solutions in Several Neat and Binary Solvents

The thermodynamic properties of phenacetin in solid state and in saturated conditions in neat and binary solvents were characterized based on differential scanning calorimetry and spectroscopic solubility measurements. The temperature-related heat capacity values measured for both the solid and melt states were provided and used for precise determination of the values for ideal solubility, fusion thermodynamic functions, and activity coefficients in the studied solutions. Factors affecting the accuracy of these values were discussed in terms of various models of specific heat capacity difference for phenacetin in crystal and super-cooled liquid states. It was concluded that different properties have varying sensitivity in relation to the accuracy of heat capacity values. The values of temperature-related excess solubility in aqueous binary mixtures were interpreted using the Jouyban–Acree solubility equation for aqueous binary mixtures of methanol, DMSO, DMF, 1,4-dioxane, and acetonitrile. All binary solvent systems studied exhibited strong positive non-ideal deviations from an algebraic rule of mixing. Additionally, an interesting co-solvency phenomenon was observed with phenacetin solubility in aqueous mixtures with acetonitrile or 1,4-dioxane. The remaining three solvents acted as strong co-solvents.

Ion-Interaction Approach: Pressure Effect on the Solubility of Some Minerals in Submarine Brines and Seawater

The pressure dependence of salt solubility in multiple electrolyte solutions was estimated to 1000 atm. The activity coefficients, thermodynamic solubility products, degrees of saturation, and mineral solubility were calculated with high precision only up to 300 atm because of the absence of compressibility data for mixed electrolyte solutions. The ion-interaction approach developed during the last 2 decades allows the prediction of various thermodynamic properties, including volumetric ones for multiple-solute natural solutions. This approach was applied to the estimation of the depth dependence of solubility for certain evaporite minerals in natural brines. The influence of pressure on solubility products, mean activity coefficients, and degrees of saturation of minerals, such as, halite (NaCl), anhydrite (CaSO₄), gypsum (CaSO₄·2 H₂O), celestite (SrSO₄), and barite (BaSO₄) were calculated for in situ depths in the Orca Basin (Gulf of Mexico), the Tyro and Bannock II depressions (the Mediterranean Sea), and for average seawater.

Solubility of Cinnarizine in (Transcutol + Water) Mixtures: Determination,Hansen Solubility Parameters,Correlation, and Thermodynamics

Between 293.2 and 313.2 K and at 0.1 MPa, the solubility of the weak base, cinnarizine (CNZ) (3), in various {Transcutol-P (TP) (1) + water (2)} combinations is reported. The Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) of CNZ and various {(TP) (1) + water (2)} mixtures free of CNZ were also predicted using HSPiP software. Five distinct cosolvency-based mathematical models were used to link the experimentally determined solubility data of CNZ. The solubility of CNZ in mole fraction was increased with elevated temperature and TP mass fraction in {(TP) (1) + water (2)} combinations. The maximum solubility of CNZ in mole fraction was achieved in neat TP (5.83 × 10⁻² at 313.2 K) followed by the minimum in neat water (3.91 × 10⁻⁸ at 293.2 K). The values of mean percent deviation (MPD) were estimated as 2.27%, 5.15%, 27.76%, 1.24% and 1.52% for the “Apelblat, van’t Hoff, Yalkowsky–Roseman, Jouyban–Acree, and Jouyban–Acree–van’t Hoff models”, respectively, indicating good correlations. The HSP value of CNZ was closed with that of neat TP, suggesting the maximum solubilization of CNZ in TP compared with neat water and other aqueous mixtures of TP and water. The outcomes of the apparent thermodynamic analysis revealed that CNZ dissolution was endothermic and entropy-driven in all of the {(TP) (1) + water (2)} systems investigated. For {(TP) (1) + water (2)} mixtures, the enthalpy-driven mechanism was determined to be the driven mechanism for CNZ solvation. TP has great potential for solubilizing the weak base, CNZ, in water, as demonstrated by these results.     

Thermodynamic properties of N-octyl- and N-dodecylnicotinamide chlorides in water

Densities, heat capacities and enthalpies of dilution at 25°C and osmotic coefficients at 37°C were measured for N-octyl- and N-dodecylnicotinamide chlorides in water over an extended concentration region. Partial molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies and nonideal free energies and entropies at 25°C were derived as a function of the surfactant concentration. For both surfactants, plots of volumes, enthalpies and free energies vs. concentration are regular whereas those of heat capacities and entropies present anomalies at about 0.8 and 0.1m for the octyl and dodecyl compounds, respectively. Changes in the slope of a plot of osmotic coefficients times molality vs. molality were also observed at these same concentrations. These peculiarities are ascribed to micelle structural transitions. The nonideal free energies do not seem to depend on the alkyl chain length when they are plotted vs. m/C _cmc . Also, a plot of the nonideal free energy vs. logm/C _cmc is roughly independent of the nature of the surfactant because of the constant activity of surfactants in micellar solutions. Nonideal free energies, enthalpies and entropies have been calculated at 15 and 35°C. At each concentration the nonideal free energy is temperature independent as a result of a compensatory effect between enthalpy and entropy. The thermodynamic functions of micellization were graphically evaluated on the basis of the pseudo-phase transition model. These data suggest that the nicotinamide group possesses less hydrophilic character than the ammonium group.

Thermodynamic properties of N-octyl-, N-decyl- and N-dodecylpyridinium chlorides in water

Densities, heat capacities and enthalpies of dilution at 25°C and osmotic coefficients at 37°C were measured for N-octyl-, N-decyl- and N-dodecyl-pyridinium chlorides in water over a wide concentration region. Conductivity measurements were performed in order to evaluate the cmc and the degree of counterion dissociation. Partial molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies and nonideal free energies and entropies at 25°C were derived from the experimental data as functions of the surfactant concentration. The changes with concentration of these properties are quite regular with the exception of the heat capacities which display anomalies at about 0.9, 0.25 and 0.12 mol-kg^–1 for the octyl, decyl and dodecyl compounds, respectively. At these concentrations there were also changes in the slopes of the specific conductivity and of the product of the osmotic coefficients and the molality vs. concentration. These peculiarities can be ascribed to micelle structural transitions. The thermodynamic functions of micellization were graphically evaluated on the basis of the pseudo-phase transition model. These data have been compared to those for alkyltrimethylammonium bromides and alkylnicotinamide chlorides. It is shown that the introduction of the hydrophilic CONH₂ group lowers the hydrophilic character of the pyridinium ring.     

Thermodynamic studies of octyltrimethylammonium chloride in water

Densities, heat capacities, enthalpies of dilution at 298 K and osmotic coefficients at 310 K of octyltrimethylammonium chloride were measured as functions of concentration. From the experimental data, the partial molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies, nonideal free energies and entropies at 298 K were derived as functions of concentration. A comparison between the above data and those of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride reported in the literature shows that the increase of the alkyl chain length shifts the apparent molar volumevs. concentration curves towards greater values and the heat capacity, relative enthalpy and free energyvs. concentration curves towards smaller values. By assuming the pseudo-phase transition model the properties of micellization (Y_m) were graphically evaluated. TheY_m values of OTAC compared with those of DTAC are consistent with the increase of the hydrophobicity by increasing the alkyl chain length.The authors are grateful to the National Research Council of Italy (CNR, Progetto Finalizzato Chimica Fine II) and to the Ministry of University and of Scientific and Technological Research (MURST) for financial support.     

Solubility of Sulfamethazine in the Binary Mixture of Acetonitrile + Methanol from 278.15 to 318.15 K: Measurement,Dissolution Thermodynamics,Preferential Solvation,and Correlation

Solubility of sulfamethazine (SMT) in acetonitrile (MeCN) + methanol (MeOH) cosolvents was determined at nine temperatures between 278.15 and 318.15 K. From the solubility data expressed in molar fraction, the thermodynamic functions of solution, transfer and mixing were calculated using the Gibbs and van ’t Hoff equations; on the other hand, the solubility data were modeled according to the Wilson models and NRTL. The solubility of SMT is thermo-dependent and is influenced by the solubility parameter of the cosolvent mixtures. In this case, the maximum solubility was achieved in the cosolvent mixture w0.40 at 318.15 K and the minimum in pure MeOH at 278.15 K. According to the thermodynamic functions, the SMT solution process is endothermic in addition to being favored by the entropic factor, and as for the preferential solvation parameter, SMT tends to be preferentially solvated by MeOH in all cosolvent systems; however, δx3,1<0.01, so the results are not conclusive. Finally, according to mean relative deviations (MRD%), the two models could be very useful tools for calculating the solubility of SMT in cosolvent mixtures and temperatures different from those reported in this research.
