The solubility of drugs in solvents is fundamentally important for drug development and manufacturing. As the experimental measurements of the solubility are extremely laborious tasks, reliable prediction methods are highly required. We have employed the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (COSMO-RS) in predicting the solubility of drugs and drug-like compounds in various solvent systems. We also evaluated the salt effect on the solubility of caffeine using this method. The present results demonstrated that COSMO-RS has reasonably reproduced the experimental data and have proved that this method is generally available in predicting the solubility of drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
