This study measured gliclazide solubility in various solvents and correlated the data using thermodynamic models. The Apelblat model demonstrated the best fit for both single and mixed solvent systems.
Area of Science:
- Physical Chemistry
- Pharmaceutical Science
Background:
- Gliclazide is an important antidiabetic drug.
- Understanding its solubility is crucial for formulation development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine gliclazide solubility in various organic solvents and a binary solvent mixture.
- To evaluate solvent effects on gliclazide solubility using Hansen solubility parameters and KAT-LSER.
- To correlate experimental solubility data using six thermodynamic models.
Main Methods:
- Gravimetric method for solubility determination.
- Hansen solubility parameters and KAT-LSER for solvent effect analysis.
- Correlation using λh, Yaws, Apelblat, Jouyban, modified Jouyban-Acree, and Sun models.
Main Results:
- Solubility data of gliclazide were obtained in 10 mono-solvents and one binary solvent (DMA + water) from 278.15 to 323.15 K.
- Hansen solubility parameters and KAT-LSER provided insights into solubility trends and solvent influences.
- All six thermodynamic models showed good correlation with the experimental data.
Conclusions:
- The Apelblat model was identified as the most suitable for correlating gliclazide solubility data in both mono- and binary solvent systems.
- This research provides valuable data for optimizing gliclazide formulations.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
