In this experiment, we used eight pure solvents and three
binary
solvents to measure the solubility data of adefovir (AF) in the temperature
range of 278.15–323.15 K. To ensure the accuracy of these data,
we employed thermodynamic models to fit the data and assess their
accuracy. We observed that the solubility of adefovir in all solvents
increased with the temperature. Among the pure solvents, DMF exhibited
the highest solubility of adefovir, while the solubility of adefovir
in toluene was the lowest. The solubility of adefovir improved as
the positive solvent’s molar fraction increased in the binary
solvent mixtures. All five models effectively fitted the solubility
data, and the reliability of the results was confirmed by comparing
the relative average deviation (RAD) and the root-mean-square deviation
(RMSD) for each model. In conclusion, the modified Apelblat model
was found to be more effective for pure solvents, while the CNIBS/R–K
model demonstrated superior performance for binary solvents. Additionally,
analysis of the pure solvent parameters using the KAT-LSER model revealed
that the hydrogen bonding alkalinity of the solvents was the main
factor influencing the solubility of adefovir in the solvent.
