Abstract:
The objective of this study was to model the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in different ionic liquids (ILs) based on the σ-moments of cations, anions, and APIs that were used as molecular descriptors calculated using the σ-profiles of three categories of descriptors based on conductor-like screening model for real solvents. The database of 83 API-ILs systems composed of 14 APIs, 12 cations, and 7 anions (25 ILs combinations) was collected as 850 data points at different temperature ranges. A hybrid Improved Grey Wolf Support vector regression, abbreviated as I-GWO-SVR(r), algorithm was selected as the learning method. Based on a comprehensive comparison with 11 different models, various statistical factors, and graphical analyses, including an external validation test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and sensitivity analysis, the capability and validity of the proposed approach have been assessed and verified. The overall study confirmed that the proposed new model provided the best results in terms of predicting the solubility of APIs in ILs.
