  2. Solution is a homogenousmixturecomposed of two or more substances. In such a mixture, asoluteis dissolved in another substance, known as asolvent.A common example is asolid, such assaltorsugar, dissolved inwater, aliquid. • Gasesmaydissolvein liquids, for example:carbon dioxideoroxygenin water. • Liquids may dissolve in other liquids. Gases can combine with other gases to form mixtures, rather than solutions. 2

  3. Possible Types of Solutions • solid in solid e.g. brass • solid in liquid e.g. sugar in water • solid in gas e.g. mothball in air • liquid in solid e.g. dental amalgam • liquid in liquid e.g. ethanol in water • liquid in gas e.g. water in air • gas in solid e.g. hydrogen in palladium • gas in liquid e.g. O2 in water • gas in gas e.g. oxygen in nitrogen • Of the nine possible types of solutions, you are probably most familiar with those in which the solvent is a liquid, especially those in which the solvent is water. 3

  4. Advantage of solutions • Liquids are easier to swallow • A drug must be in solution before it can be absorbed • A solution is an homogenous system, the drug will be uniformly distributed throughout the preparation • Some drugs can irritate the gastric mucosa if localized in one area. Irritation is reduced by administration of a solution of the drug 4

  5. Problem associated with the manufacturing of solutions • Liquids are bulky and inconvenient to transport and store • The stability of ingredients in aqueous solution is often poor than in solid dosage form • Solution provide suitable media for the growth of micro-organisms and may require the addition of preservative • Accurate dose measuring depends on the ability of patient to measure the dose • The taste of a drug is always pronounced when it in solution 5

  6. Aqueous solutions and non-aqueous solutions • Aqueous solutionsSolutions that contain water as the solvent are called aqueous solutions.For example, sugar in water, carbon dioxide in water, etc.  • Non-aqueous solutionsSolutions that contain a solvent other than water are called non-aqueous solutions. • Ether, benzene, petrol, carbon tetrachloride etc., are some common solvents. or example, sulphur in carbon disulphide, naphthalene in benzene, etc.  6

  7. Concentrated solutions and dilute solutions Between two solutions, the solute quantity may be relatively more or less. The solution that has a greater proportion of solute is said to be more concentrated than the other that has a lesser proportion. If the proportion of solute is less, the solution is said to be dilute.  7

  8. Saturated and unsaturated solutions • Saturated Solution A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called a saturated solution • Unsaturated solution A solution in which more solute can be dissolved at a given temperature is called an unsaturated solution. A given solution that is saturated at a particular temperature may become unsaturated when the temperature is increased. 8

  9. Solubility and Miscibility • Different substances have different solubilities. • Solubilityrefers to the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in an amount of solvent under specific temperature and pressure conditions. • A substance that cannot be dissolved in another (or does so to a very limited extent) is said to beinsoluble. 9

  10. Solubility of a solute • Solubility is defined as the number of grams of a solute that dissolves in 100g of a solvent to form a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure • Solubility is the maximum weight of a solute that can be dissolved in 100g of a solvent at a given temperature and pressure • Solubility = Wt of solute in saturated solution  100 Wt of solvent in saturated solution 10

  11. Relative terms of solubility parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute • Very soluble  1 • Freely soluble 1-10 • Soluble 10-30 • Sparingly soluble 30-100 • Slightly soluble 100-1000 • Very slightly soluble 1000-10,000 • Practically insoluble  10,000

  12. Miscibilityrefers to the ability of a liquid to dissolve in another in all proportions. • Alcohols like methanol and ethanol aremisciblewith water. There is no limit to the amount of these alcohols that can be dissolved in water - they dissolve in all proportions. • When a liquid does not dissolve in another to any extent, the liquids are said to beimmiscible. • Oil and water are immiscible. 12

  13. Electrolytes and Non-Electrolytes • One way to distinguish between solutions that contain ions and those that contain molecules is an electrical conductivity test. 13

  14. A solution that conducts electrical current is said to beelectrolyticand the solute is called anelectrolyte. The sodium chloride solution is an electrolytic solution. • The solute in a solution that does not conduct electrical current is anon-electrolyte. Examples include: sugar, urea, glycerol, andmethylsulfonylmethane (MSM. • Generally, dissociated ionic compounds are electrolytes whereas dissolved molecular compounds are non-electrolytes. 14

  15. Units of Measure in Solutions • Concentrations are often given in terms of weight/volume.  For example, mg/L, or mg/100 mL (common clinical units). • AMolar Solutionis an aqueous solution consisting of one mole of a substance plus enough water to make one Liter of solution. • AMolal Solutionis an aqueous solution consisting of one mole of a substance plus 1 kg of water (usually very close to 1 L water).  The total volume may thus be more than 1 L. 15

  16. Parts per million (PPM). Parts per million works like percent by mass, but is more convenient when there is only a small amount of solute present. PPM is defined as the mass of the component in solution divided by the total mass of the solution multiplied by 106one million A solution with a concentration of 1 ppm has 1 gram of substance for every million grams of solution. in general, one ppm implies one mg of solute per liter of solution.

  17. Terms of expression the strength of pharmaceutical preparations • Percentage (%) • % w/v 1g in 100 mL preparation • %v/v 1mL in 100 mL preparation • % w/w 1 g in 100 g preparation • Ratio strength: • weight in volume (1:1000 w/v= 1g constituent in 1000 mL preparation) • volume in volume (1:1000 v/v = 1ml constituent in 1000 mL preparation) • weight in weight (1:1000 w/w = 1 g constituent in 1000 g preparation)

  18. Factors Affecting Solubility Temperature will affect solubility. If the solution process absorbs energy then the solubility will beINCREASEDas the temperature is increased. If the solution process releases energy then the solubility willDECREASEwith increasing temperature • Mechanical stirringMechanical stirring increases solubility.For example, sugar dissolves faster on stirring with a spoon. • pH of the solvent (examples include weak acids and weak base) 18

  19. Molecular Size will affect the solubility. The larger the molecule or the higher its molecular weight the less soluble the substance will be. Larger molecules are more difficult to surround with solvent molecules in order to solvate the substance. • In the case of organic compounds the amount of carbon "BRANCHING" will increase the solubility since more branching will reduce the size (or volume) of the molecule and make it easier to solvate the molecules with solvent. 19

  20. Anaqueous solutionis asolutionin which thesolventis water. • As water is an excellentsolventas well as naturally abundant. • Substances that do not dissolve well in water are calledhydrophobic )'water fearing') whereas those that do are known ashydrophilic(Water-loving'). • An example of a hydrophilic substance would be thesodium chloride, ordinary table salt. 20

  21. Aqueous solutions Types of pharmaceutical water Purified water, USP Water for injection Aromatic water • Physiological compatibility • Lack of toxicity • Possesses a high dielectric constant • ensuring the dissolution of a wide range of ionizable materials • Lack of selectivity 21

  33. Syrup • In cooking, a syrup (from Arabic شرابsharab, beverage, viaLatinsiropus) is a thick, viscousliquid, containing a large amount of dissolvedsugars, or sugar substitute with or without flavoring agents and medicinal substances. • Syrup containing flavoring agents but not medicinal substances are called nonmedicated or flavored vehicles (syrup): • Cherry syrup • Orange syrup • Raspberry syrup 33

  34. The syrup are intended to serve as pleasant-tasting vehicles for medicinal substances, consists of a concentrated or saturated solution of refined sugar in distilled water. • The "simple syrup" of the BritishPharmacopoeiais prepared by dissolving 85 g of refined sugar in purified water to make 100 mL of syrup. The specific gravityof the syrup should be 1.313. • Flavoured syrups are made by adding flavouring matter to a simple syrup. For instance, syrupusaromaticusis prepared by adding certain quantities oforange flavouringandcinnamonwater to simple syrup. Similarly, medicated syrups are prepared by adding medicaments to, or dissolving them in, the simple syrup. 34

  35. As syrups can contain up to 85% of sugars, they are capable of resisting bacterial growth by virtue of their osmotic effect. • Syrup, NF, also called simple syrup. • The amount of preservative required to protect a syrup against microbial growth varies with the proportion of water available for growth • Preservative commonly used in syrups : benzoic acid 0.1-0.2%, sodium benzoate 0.1-0.2%, parabens (0.1%). • To enhance the appeal of the syrup, a coloring agent that correlates with the flavorant employed (green with mint, brown with chocolate). • Most syrups are flavored with synthetic flavorants or with naturally occurring materials, such as volatile oils (orange oil), vanilin • Colorant to enhance the appeal of the syrup may be added • Sucrose-based syrup may be substituted by a polyol, such as sorbitol solution USP, 64%
