Co-solvency

A co solvent system is one in which a water miscible or partially miscible organic solvent is mixed with water to form a modified aqueous solution. And the phenomenon called Cosolvency
cosolvents have some degree of hydrogen bond donating and or hydrogen bond accepting ability as well as small hydrocarbon regions.
The resulting solution will have physical properties that are intermediate to that of the pure organic solvent and water through the reduction of water–water interaction.

3. Introduction 1 :- Solubility: ‘Solubility of a substance in a solvent at given temperature and pressure is the amount of substance that has been passed into solution form when an equilibrium is attained between solution and undissolved substance’. Also, it is the spontaneous interaction of two OR more substance to form a homogeneous molecular dispersion. 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 3

4. Methods for expressing solubility & concentration 1,2 :- Quantity per Quantity: simply on weight and volume basis, contained in given solution; i.e.1kg m -3 = 1gm L -1 ,1kg in 1 litre etc. percentage: concentration in % w/v = weight. of solute *100 volume of solvent Parts: used to described strength of solution, the certain parts by weight(gm) of solid are contained in given no. of given parts by volume(ml) e.g. 1mg 1000ml =1ppm. Molarity: no of moles of solute contained in dm 3 unit mole L -1 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 4

5. Cont’ed … molality:- no. of moles of solutes divided by the mass of the solvent(kg). SI unit is mol kg -1 Mole fraction :- no. of moles of solutes divided by the total no. of moles of solutes and solvent. x = n 1 n 1 +n 2 Miliequivalents:- no. of milimoles in 1litre (1milimole = 1000 a mole ) 1 miliEq = ionic wt. (mg) valency 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 5

6. Prediction of solubility 1 :- A compound can dissolves in particular solvent of similar chemical properties of the solvents ‘LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE’ i.e. polar in polar and vice-versa.ss Quantitative description of solubility- Description Approx wt. solvent to dissolve 1gm of solute Very soluble <1 Freely soluble 1-10 Soluble 10 -3o Sparingly soluble 30-100 Slightly soluble 100-1000 Very slightly soluble 1000-10000 Practically insoluble >10000 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 6

7. Solubility determination 5 :- 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale Solubility is normally depends on temperature, so temperature is recorded in each solubility measurement. Plot of solubility against temperature is commonly used for solubility determination. Two methods are available for determination are as follow. Analytical method Synthetic method 7

8. Hildebrandt & scott solubility parameter 1 :- this explains that, solvent power of liquid influenced by its intermolecular cohesive forces, and the forces called as Hildebrandt solubility parameter . - it provides quantitative prediction of some Hydrocarbons, Non-polar and Non reacting liquids. Temperature:- some compounds shows the increasing solubility with rise in temp. e.g KNO3 between 0-50 o C ,Na 2 SO 4 up to 35 o C but not after it. Factors affecting the solubility of solids in liquids:- 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 8

9. Effect of temperature 1,3,4 :- Molecular structure of solute:- e.g phenol Nature of solvent:- e.g diazepam, metronidazol etc. Solute/solid characteristics: i.e crystal str. Particle size etc. p H :- affects degree of ionization & further absorption. Common ion effect:- 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 9

10. Solubility of gases in liquids 1,4 :- According to Henry’s law, ‘At constant temperature, The solubility of gases in liquids is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the liquid’. w = k .p Solubility of solids in solids :- simple Eutectic mixture, physical dispersion 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 10

11. Co-solvency 2,3 :- CO-SOLVENT :- A cosolvent system is one in which a water miscible or partially miscible organic solvent is mixed with water to form a modified aqueous solution. And the phenomenon called Cosolvency cosolvents have some degree of hydrogen bond donating and or hydrogen bond accepting ability as well as small hydrocarbon regions. The resulting solution will have physical properties that are intermediate to that of the pure organic solvent and water through the reduction of water–water interaction . 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 11

12. Theory of Co-solvency 3 :- Solubility of a non-electrolyte solute in any solvent can be expressed by general eqn. Log X = - Δ Hf /2.303RT.Tm (Tm-T)-Log y where, Log X =solutes mole fraction solubility Δ Hf = molar heat of fusion R,T= constant y = activity coefficient where, C 11 = cohesive energy of solvent C 22 = cohesive energy of solute C 12 = adhesive energy Log y = C 11 + C 22 -2C 12 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 12

13. Selection of cosolvent 3,4 :- Some characteristics of co-solvent which are considered at selection: 1. Biocompatible 2. It must be non-toxic. Non-irritating. 3. It should be able to solubilize the drug in given solvent. 4. It should be able to cross the membrane. 5. does not have potential systemic effects. These biological effects depends upon various factors as; Dose or concentration in formulation Routes of administration Rate of administration 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 13

14. Effect of solvent on stability of drug 3 :- Depends on, Concentration of cosolvent, nature of reactants in systems , transition state of reactants & its concentration Consider; for the reaction between an ion and a dipolar molecule, Log k ε 2 =Log k ε 1 -Zµe cosø/2.303RTkr 2 ( 1/ ε 2 -1/ ε 1 ) where, µ = dipole moment ø = angle between resultant dipole & axis of collision of two species k 1, k 2 = reaction rate constant of two different solvents ε = dielectric constant r = distance between two ions T = absolute temperature 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 14

15. Cont’ed… If both are ions, Log k ε 2 = Log k ε 1 - Z 1 .Z 2 e/2.303KTr (1/ ε 2 - 1/ ε 1 ) where, Z 1 ,Z 2 = ionic charge for the dipolar species, Log k ε 2 = Log k ε 1 - 2µ 1 . µ 2 /2.303KTr 3 (1/ ε 2 - 1/ ε 1 ) From this mathematical eqn. We conclude that, Acceleration OR deacceleration of reaction rate upon a change in solvent - polarity, dipolar distance, reactants Hence, water involves in instability of drugs. 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 15

16. Products containing cosolvent system 3 :- Dosage form Drug Cosolvents Parenteral Diazepam Ethanol up to 30% Parenteral Etoposide PEG 300 (65%), ethanol 30% Ophthalmic Chloramphenicol PEG 300 Topical Erythromycin Ethanol 50-70% Topical 5-Fluorouracil Propylene glycol 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 16

17. Applications 3 :- Ultimate role in solubility enhancement of poorly water soluble drugs. Improvement in absorption and bioavailability. Apart from increasing solubility, it have importance in improvement solubility of volatile constituents used to impart a desirable flavour and odour to the product. Solubility considerations at dosage form design. 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 17

18. Limitations 3 :- 1 ] Potential biological effects:- hemolytic effect - local effect- DMSO 10-300mg irritable, muscle damage -propylene glycol - Renal and CNS effects in mice 2] Intolerance:- incompliance by pediatric patients 3] Cosolvent related parameters:- - many are reported for initiating OR catalyzing oxidative degradation e.g. PEGs 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 18

19. Cont’ed…. - Cosolvents may contains heavy metal impurities such other - For Parenteral products, Dimethylacetamide is widely used. But in case of oral liquids its application is limited, because of its objectionable odour and taste. - DMSO demonstrated for the skin permeation enhancement property but not approved for dermal preparations. 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 19

20. Conclusion:- Solubility enhancement by cosolvent system gives new approaches for design and formulation of new dosage forms of poor aq. Soluble drugs. It also helps in improving - Bioavailability of drugs -Stability of drugs 4/19/2016 sagar kishor savale 20
