Determination of the solubility, dissolution enthalpy and entropy of donepezil hydrochloride polymorphic form III in different solvents

摘要

The solubilities of donepezil hydrochloride polymorphic form III in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and dimethyl formamide were measured at temperatures ranging from 278.15 to 333.15 K at atmosphere pressure using a gravimetrical method. The modified Apelblat model fitted the experimental data well with the root-mean-square deviations less than 6.287 × 10 ~(-4). The dissolution enthalpy and entropy of solute were predicted from the solubility data in different solvents using the van't Hoff equation. The relationships among solubility, temperature, the intermolecular force and hydrogen bonding between solute and solvent, and the viscosity of solvents were investigated. The viscosity and surface tension of solvents affect the dissolution enthalpy and entropy of donepezil hydrochloride polymorphic form III.
