The thermodynamic functions of Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy for the solution processes of triclosan (TS) were calculated from solubility values obtained at the temperature interval from (293.15 to 313.15) K. TS solubility was determined in ethanol (EtOH), octanol (ROH), isopropyl myristate (IPM), chloroform (CLF), and heptane (HPT) as pure solvents. The excess Gibbs energy and the activity coefficients of the solutes were also calculated. The TS solubilities were higher in EtOH and CLF with respect to those obtained in ROH, IPM, and HPT. In addition, the thermodynamic quantities relative to the transfer process of this drug from HPT to the other organic solvents were also calculated to estimate the hydrogen bonding contributions.
Recebido em 10/3/10; aceito em 16/6/10; publicado na web em 24/9/10 By using the van't Hoff and Gibbs equations the apparent thermodynamic functions Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution for sodium naproxen in ethanol + water cosolvent mixtures, were evaluated from solubility data determined at temperatures from (278.15 to 308.15) K. The drug solubility was greatest in neat water and lowest in neat ethanol at all the temperatures studied. By means of non-linear enthalpy-entropy compensation analysis, it follows that the dissolution process of this drug in ethanol-rich mixtures is entropy-driven, whereas, in water-rich mixtures the process is enthalpy-driven.
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.
