Thermodynamic Analysis of Eplerenone in 13 Pure Solvents at Temperatures from 283.15 to 323.15 K

The solubility of eplerenone (EP) in 13 pure solvents (acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetone, 2-butanone, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, ethyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, ethanol, and 1-propanol) was determined by the gravimetric method at atmospheric pressure and various temperatures (from 283.15 to 323.15 K). The results showed that the solubility of EP in the selected solvents was positively correlated with the thermodynamic temperature, and the order of solubility of EP at 298.15 K was acetonitrile > DMF > 2-butanone > methyl acetate > 4-methyl-2-pentanone > methyl propionate > ethyl acetate > propyl acetate > ethyl formate > acetone > butyl acetate > ethanol >1-propanol. The modified Apelblat model, van't Hoff model, λh model, and polynomial empirical model were used for fitting the solubility data, and then the λh model was found to have the highest fitting accuracy with a minimum ARD of 7.0 × 10-3 and a minimum RMSD of 6.1 × 10-6. The solvent effect between the solute and the solvent was analyzed using linear solvation energy relationship (LSER), and the enthalpy of solvation (ΔsolH°), entropy of solvation (ΔsolS°), and Gibbs free energy of solvation (ΔsolG°) of the dissolution process of EP were calculated by the van't Hoff model, which indicated that the dissolution process of EP in the selected solvents was endothermic, nonspontaneous, and entropy-increasing. In this work, the solubility, dissolution characteristics, and thermodynamic parameters of EP were studied, which will provide data support for the production, crystallization, and purification of EP and will provide important guidance for the crystallization optimization of EP in industry.

Solubility, Thermodynamic Parameters, and Dissolution Properties of 17-α Hydroxyprogesterone in 13 Pure Solvents

The static gravimetric method was used to measure the solubility of 17-α hydroxyprogesterone (OHP) in 13 pure solvents ranging from 278.15 to 323.15 K. The results indicate that the experimental solubility of OHP increases with increasing temperature. The experimental solubility data were correlated by the selected van't Hoff model, λh model, modified Apelblat model, Yaws model, and nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model. The fitting results show that the Yaws model can give better correlation results by fitting 13 different pure solvent systems. Based on the NRTL equation, the thermodynamic analysis of solubility data showed that the mixing process was spontaneous. The Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs) and solvent effect were applied to explore these solubility characteristics. Finally, the thermodynamic properties ΔsolH°, ΔsolS°, ΔsolG°, %ξH, and %ξTS were calculated by the van't Hoff model equation. The results showed that ΔsolH°, ΔsolS°, and ΔsolG° are all positive values, indicating that the dissolution of OHP in the selected solvent is an endothermic reaction with increasing entropy.

Solubility Measurement and Correlation of Itraconazole Hydroxy Isobutyltriazolone in Four Kinds of Binary Solvent Mixtures with Temperature from 283.15 to 323.15 K

The solubility of itraconazole hydroxy isobutyltriazolone (IHI) in four commonly used binary solvent mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) + water, DMF + ethanol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) + water, and THF + ethanol was determined with gravimetric method at temperatures ranging from 283.15 to 323.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The solubility of IHI in all selected solvents increases with the increase of temperature. The maximum solubility of IHI exists in the solvent of DMF + ethanol (0.06523 mol·mol-1, x20 = 0.7, T = 323.15 K), while the minimum solubility exists in DMF + water (0.0003723 mol·mol-1, x20 = 0.3, T = 283.15 K). There is a co-solvency phenomenon in the mixed solvents of DMF+ ethanol, THF + water, and THF + ethanol. Four thermodynamic models, including the modified Apelblat model, the Yaws model, the Sun model, and the modified Jouyban-Acree model, were selected to fit the solubility data of IHI. All the RAD values are less than 0.0484, and RMSD values are not more than 0.001319. The Yaws model and the modified Apelblat model fit the solubility data of IHI better than the other two models. All the selected four models can fit the solubility data of IHI well.

Solubility and Thermodynamics Profile of Benzethonium Chloride in Pure and Binary Solvents at Different Temperatures

Benzethonium chloride (BTC) has various applications in several industries. The solubility and solution thermodynamic properties of BTC were measured. The solubility of BTC in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, water, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetic acid, and dimethyl formamide neat solvents and methanol + water and ethanol + water binary solvents at 298.15-318.15 K over an atmospheric pressure was measured. The solubility data of BTC is positively related to the temperature in all selected solvents. The solubility data was fitted by the Apelblat model, λh model, Yaws model, Van't Hoff equation, CNIBS/R-K model, and modified Jouyban-Acree equation. The RMSD and ARD were chosen to evaluate the fitting of each model. The dissolution thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy of the solution, entropy of the solution, and Gibbs energy of the solution were calculated. The solubility data and dissolution thermodynamic parameters of BTC will provide significant guidance for purification, crystallization, and separation in various areas.
