Rapid, small-scale determination of organic solvent solubility using a thermogravimetric analyzer

摘要

A rapid gravimetric method for determining drug candidate solubility in organic solvents has been developed. The scale, speed, precision, and accuracy of the method make it ideal for solubility screening of pharmaceutical compounds during early development. The method utilizes a thermogravimetric analyzer to automate drying and weighing. Results for model compounds compare favorably with literature values.
