Preferential Solvation of Fenofibrate in (Ethanol or Acetone) + Water Mixtures at 298.15 K
Authors
Abstract:
The aim of this communication was to expand the results of numerical analyses performed by Sun et al. on their experimental solubility of fenofibrate in aqueous mixtures of ethanol and acetone at 298.15 K, in terms of the evaluation of the preferential solvation of this compound by the organic solvents and water in the saturated mixtures based on the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals (IKBI). According to the results, this drug is preferentially solvated by water in water-rich mixtures but preferentially solvated by the cosolvents in mixtures with intermediate composition and also in cosolvent-rich mixtures. Preferential solvation by water in water-rich mixtures may be due to hydrophobic hydration around non-polar moieties of this drug. Moreover, it is conjecturable that in regions with preferential solvation by the cosolvents the drug is acting as Lewis acid with the cosolvent molecules because they are more basic than water.

Cytoplasmic osmolytes can significantly alter the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of proteins relative to those under dilute solution conditions. Spectroscopic experiments of lysozymes in cosolvents indicate that such changes may arise from the heterogeneous, site-specific hydrophobic interactions between protein surface residues and individual solvent molecules. In pursuit of an accurate ...

This paper reports the results of a variety of experiments carried out for understanding the solvation behavior of potassium thiocyanate in methanol–water mixtures. Electrical conductivity, speed of sound, viscosity, and FT-Raman spectra of potassium thiocyanate solutions in 5 and 10% methanol–water (w/w) mixtures were measured as functions of concentration and temperature. The conductivity and...
full textMD Simulation of the Ion Solvation in Methanol-Water Mixtures
Sodium, calcium and magnesium ions are essential for the biological activity of many polyelectrolytes. This activity depends on a condensation of the metal ions. There are several clues, which suggest that interactions between the polyelectrolyte and metal ions depend on a hydration of the ion. This accounts for the great interest in the hydration of metal ions, particularly in the systems cont...
