"Provides a working knowledge of the various means of controlling the solubility and dissolution rates of drugs and other biologically active compounds. Begins by describing factors that govern solubility in general and aqueous solubility in particular, then outlines various techniques for altering solubility and dissolution rates of organic compounds. Covers most commonly used solubility enhancers, such as buffers, cosolvents, surfactants, and complexants. A conceptual basis for understanding the degree of solubilization of a solute is provided for each technique, along with examples using a number of real drugs. For new and experienced researchers in pharmaceuticals. The author is professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of Arizona."--SciTech Book News
