Solubility equilibrium

Figure 2.1.3 TPGS concentration and Paclitaxel solubility are directly related. Figure created by M. Varma, 200522. TPGS has been incorporated into various drug formulations partly because of its ability to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR). By inhibiting P-glycoprotein (P-gp) activity, the relative cytotoxicity of drugs such as doxorubicin, vinblastine, and paclitaxel was increased19. P-gp is a drug efflux pump, a.k.a. multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), located in the cell membranes of…

and alcohol both dissolve and are tucked safely away under the ester layer (Clark, 2004). In terms of molecular structure of the esters can be both soluble and insoluble. The small esters are fairly soluble in water but solubility falls with chain length. The reason for the solubility is that although esters cannot hydrogen bond with themselves, they can hydrogen bond with water molecules (ChemGuide, 2004). Due to slightly positive hydrogen atoms in a water molecule can be adequately bond to any…

Introduction Kidney stones, or Nephrolithiasis, is a very common health problem that has been increasingly affecting a higher number of Americans each year. (4) Kidney stones are small and hard deposits that are most commonly made up of mineral and acid compounds and vary in the size and shape of the stone. Kidney stones are four times more likely to occur in men than women, explained by a theory that female hormones can prevent stones, as well as in people of older age and those with…

ions by the Fe3O4@GMA-AAm nanocomposite was measured from batch adsorption experiments by mixing 10 mg of adsorbent with an aqueous solution containing a predetermined concentration of Pb2+ ions (50 mL). The mixture was shaken at 200 rpm to reach equilibrium. After a specified time, the solid and liquid were separated by external magnet and the concentrations of Pb2+ ions were measured by AAS. To find the optimized pH in adsorption of Pb2+ ions the effect of the pH was studied. The initial pH of…

H2(g) + I2(g) + heat → 2 HI(g). A. The equilibrium will shift to the left and [H2] will increase. B. The equilibrium will shift to the left and [H2] will decrease. C. The equilibrium will…

The extent of solubility hence shows the balance between -COOH or -OH interactions with H2O and C6H4…

Introduction Desulphurization of steel at ladle treatment of metal is one of the important technological operations. The successful course of the desulfurization process is provided by fire refining slag with specific chemical composition, usually based on calcium oxide. The duration of mixing of the metal with the slag in inert gas, the early formation of refining slag, then optimization of the metal oxidation providing the formation of iron oxide FeO in the slag to be less than 0.5 % able…

different locations of the system (Zeman and Kubik, 2007). Whereas, the solubility, S, can be defined as the amount of gas dissolved into the polymer divided by the volume of sample for 1 atm of gas on the sample surface. (2.26) When, , , then the above equation can be rewritten as and when p1 = 1 atm (2.27) Where, c1 is the concentration in the sample when the equilibrium is reached. The solubility S is expressed in cm3 of gas at STP per cm3 of the solid at a pressure…

This module will help you understand the applications of temperature measurement in industry as well as help you develop skills to convert temperature between common scales. It also discusses the thermal expansion principles used by some temperature measurement instruments. You will also learn about thermal contact and its effect on the accuracy and response time of temperature sensors, and about thermowells and their purpose. Objective One When you have completed this objective, you will be…

to increases in amount of drug absorbed into the body. This is called saturable drug absorption, such as Penicillin G and Saquinavir. Additionally, Dissolution can be the cause of dose dependency in the bioavailability for drugs with low aqueous solubility, when given orally in relatively large doses. With a fixed transit time through the gastrointestinal tract, the amount of drug dissolved and hence absorbed is unlikely to increase in proportion to the dose administered. An example are…
