Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Fluasterone solubility is critical for its effective drug delivery.
  • Understanding the influence of cosolvents and complexants is essential for optimizing pharmaceutical formulations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the combined effect of alcohol cosolvents (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol) and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP beta CD) on Fluasterone solubility.
  • To develop a simple equation that quantitatively describes and explains the observed solubility behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Solubility measurements of Fluasterone in various concentrations of cosolvents and HP beta CD.
  • Mathematical modeling to derive an equation correlating solubility with component concentrations.

Main Results:
