Abstract
Solubilization of new chemical entities for toxicity assessment must use excipients that do not negatively impact drug pharmacokinetics and toxicology. In this study, we investigated the tolerability of a model freebase compound, GDC-0152, solubilized by pH adjustment with succinic acid and complexation with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) to enable intravenous use. Solubility, critical micelle concentration, and association constant with HP-β-CD were determined. Blood compatibility and potential for hemolysis were assessed in vitro. Local tolerability was assessed after intravenous and subcutaneous injections in rats. A pharmacokinetic study was conducted in rats after intravenous bolus administration. GDC-0152 exhibited pH-dependent solubility that was influenced by self-association. The presence of succinic acid increased solubility in a concentration-dependent manner. HP-β-CD alone also increased solubility, but the extent of solubility enhancement was significantly lower than succinic acid alone. Inclusion of HP-β-CD in the solution of GDC-0152 improved blood compatibility, reduced hemolytic potential by ∼20-fold in vitro, and increased the maximum tolerated dose to 80 mg/kg.

Abstract
Notwithstanding the great practical importance, still open are the questions how, why, and to what extent the size, morphology, and surface charge of metal (hydr)oxide nanoparticles (NPs) affect the adsorption form, adsorption strength, surface density, and packing order of organic (bio)molecules containing carboxylic groups. In this article, we conclusively answer these questions for a model system of ferric (hydr)oxide NPs and demonstrate applicability of the established relationships to manipulating their hydrophobicity and dispersibility. Employing in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and adsorption isotherm measurements, we study the interaction of 150, 38, and 9 nm hematite (α-Fe(2)O(3)) and ∼4 nm 2-line ferrihydrite with sodium laurate (dodecanoate) in water. We discover that, independent of morphology, an increase in size of the ferric (hydr)oxide NPs significantly improves their adsorption capacity and affinity toward fatty acids. This effect favors the formation of bilayers, which in turn promotes dispersibility of the larger NPs in water. At the same time, the local order in self-assembled monolayer (SAM) strongly depends on the morphological compatibility of the NP facets with the geometry-driven well-packed arrangements of the hydrocarbon chains as well as on the ratio of the chemisorbed to the physically adsorbed carboxylate groups. Surprisingly, the geometrical constraints can be removed, and adsorption capacity can be increased by negatively polarizing the NPs due to promotion of the outer-sphere complexes of the fatty acid. We interpret these findings and discuss their implications for the nanotechnological applications of surface-functionalized metal (hydr)oxide NPs.

Abstract
The interaction of iron (hydr)oxides with fatty acids is related to many industrial and natural processes. To resolve current controversies about the adsorption configurations of fatty acids and the conditions of the maximum hydrophobicity of the minerals, we perform a detailed study of the adsorption of sodium laurate (dodecanoate) on 150 nm hematite (α-Fe(2)O(3)) particles as a model system. The methods used include in situ FTIR spectroscopy, ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), measurements of the adsorption isotherm and contact angle, as well as the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We found that the laurate adlayer is present as a mixture of inner-sphere monodentate mononuclear (ISMM) and outer-sphere (OS) hydration shared complexes independent of the solution pH. Protonation of the OS complexes does not influence the conformational order of the surfactant tails. One monolayer, which is filled through the growth of domains and is reached at the micellization/precipitation edge of laurate, makes the particles superhydrophobic. These results contradict previous models of the fatty acid adsorption and suggest new interpretation of literature data. Finally, we discovered that the fractions of both the OS laurate and its molecular form increase in D(2)O, which can be used for interpreting complex spectra. We discuss shortcomings of vibrational spectroscopy in determining the interfacial coordination of carboxylate groups. This work advances the current understanding of the oxide-carboxylate interactions and the research toward improving performance of fatty acids as surfactants, dispersants, lubricants, and anticorrosion reagents.

Abstract
This study assessed the effect of excipients (sodium taurocholate, 2-hydroxypropyl-f-cyclodextrin, potassium chloride, propylene glycol, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and polyethylene glycol 400) on the apparent intrinsic solubility properties of eight sparingly soluble drugs (four bases, two neutrals, and two acids): astemizole, butacaine, clotrimazole, dipyridamole, griseofulvin, progesterone, glibenclamide, and mefenemic acid. Over 1,200 UV-based solubility measurements (pH 3-10) were made with a high-throughput instrument. New equations, based on the "shift-in-pKa" method, were derived to interpret the complicated solubility-pH dependence observed, and poorly predicted by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. An intrinsic solubility-excipient classification gradient map visualization tool was developed to rank order the compounds and the excipients. In excipient-free solutions, all of the ionizable compounds formed either uncharged or mixed-charge aggregates. Mefenamic acid formed anionic dimers and trimers. Glibenclamide displayed a tendency to form monoanionic dimers. Dipyridamole and butacaine tended to form uncharged aggregates. With strong excipients, the tendency to form aggregates diminished, except in the case of glibenclamide. We conclude that a low-cost, compound-sparing, and reasonably accurate high-throughput assay which can be used in early screening to prioritize candidate molecules by their eventual developability via the excipient route is possible with the aid of the "self-organized" intrinsic solubility-excipient classification gradient maps.

Abstract
Salt formation is the most common and effective method of increasing solubility and dissolution rates of acidic and basic drugs. In this article, physicochemical principles of salt solubility are presented, with special reference to the influence of pH-solubility profiles of acidic and basic drugs on salt formation and dissolution. Non-ideality of salt solubility due to self-association in solution is also discussed. Whether certain acidic or basic drugs would form salts and, if salts are formed, how easily they would dissociate back into their free acid or base forms depend on interrelationships of several factors, such as S0 (intrinsic solubility), pH, pKa, Ksp (solubility product) and pHmax (pH of maximum solubility). The interrelationships of these factors are elaborated and their influence on salt screening and the selection of optimal salt forms for development are discussed. Factors influencing salt dissolution under various pH conditions, and especially in reactive media and in presence of excess common ions, are discussed, with practical reference to the development of solid dosage forms.

Abstract
The experimental and computational basis of the pH-dependent measurement of solubility of sparingly-soluble ionizable drugs is reviewed. Recently described compound-sparing (but still accurate) approaches, suitable for application in preclinical development, and appropriate for the analysis of solubility of "problematic" molecules, are critically examined. A number of useful experimental methods are reviewed, including the miniaturized shake-flask microtitre plate, the micro solubility self-calibrating direct UV, potentiometric, and the micro dissolution methods. Several molecules were selected as case studies to illustrate important concepts, with re-analysis of literature data using recently established computational tools.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the extent to which the Henderson-Hasselbalch (HH) relationship can be used to predict the pH-dependent aqueous solubility of cationic drugs. The pH-dependent solubility for 25 amines, carrying a single positive charge, was determined with a small-scale shake flask method. Each sample was prepared as a suspension in 150 mM phosphate buffer. The pH-dependent solubility curves were obtained using at least 10 different pH values. The intrinsic solubility, the solubility at the pKa and the solubility at pH values reflecting the pH of the bulk and acid microclimate in the human small intestine (pH 7.4 and 6.5, respectively) were determined for all compounds. The experimental study revealed a large diversity in slope, from -0.5 (celiprolol) to -8.6 (hydralazine) in the linear pH-dependent solubility interval, which is in sharp contrast to the slope of -1 assumed by the HH equation. In addition, a large variation in the range of solubility between the completely uncharged and completely charged drug species was observed. The range for disopyramide was only 1.1 log units, whereas that for amiodarone was greater than 6.3 log units, pointing at the compound specific response to counter-ion effects. In conclusion, the investigated cationic drugs displayed compound specific pH-dependent solubility profiles, indicating that that the HH equation in many cases will only give rough estimations of the pH-dependent solubility of drugs in divalent buffer systems.

Abstract
Studies were previously conducted in our laboratory on the influence of n-alkanols, 1-alkyl-2-pyrrolidones, N,N-dimethlyalkanamides, and 1,2-alkanediols as skin permeation enhancers on the transport of a model permeant, corticosterone (CS). The experiments were conducted with hairless mouse skin (HMS) in a side-by-side, two-chamber diffusion cell, with enhancer present in an aqueous buffer in both chambers. The purpose of the present study was to extend these studies and investigate in greater detail the hypothesis that a suitable semipolar organic phase may mimic the microenvironment of the site of enhancer action, and that the enhancer partitioning tendency into this organic phase may be used to predict the enhancer potency. CS flux enhancement along the lipoidal pathway of HMS stratum corneum was determined with the 1-alkyl-2-azacycloheptanones, 1-alkyl-2-piperidinones, 1,2-dihydroxypropyl decanoate, 1,2-dihydroxypropyl octanoate, n-alkyl-beta-D-glucopyranosides, 2-(1-alkyl)-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolanes, 1,2,3-nonanetriol, and trans-hydroxyproline-N-decanamide-C-ethylamide as enhancers. Enhancement factors (E values) were calculated from the permeability coefficient and solubility data over a range of E values. Comparisons of the enhancer potencies for all studied homologous series and the carbon number of the n-alkyl group revealed a nearly semilogarithmic linear relationship with a slope of approximately 0.55, which is consistent with the hydrophobic effect. Moreover, comparisons of the enhancer potencies of all the enhancers with the n-hexanol-phosphate buffered saline (PBS), n-octanol-PBS, n-decanol-PBS, and n-hexane-PBS partition coefficients showed very good correlations for the n-alkanol solvents but not for n-hexane. This result supports the interpretation that the enhancer potency is directly related to the ability of the enhancer molecule to translocate to a site of action via its free energy of transfer from the bulk aqueous phase to a semipolar microenvironment in the stratum corneum lipid lamella that is well mimicked by water-saturated n-alkanols.

Abstract
Electrically silent hydrogen ion fluxes across a planar bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) induced by an addition of monocarboxylic acid at one side of BLM were studied by measuring pH changes in the unstirred layers near the BLM surface. The pH changes were assayed by recording protonophore-dependent potentials as well as by direct measurements of pH shifts in he unstirred layers close to the membrane by the pH microelectrode. It was shown that the mechanism of the acid transport changed qualitatively upon the increase of the hydrophobic chain length of the acid. In the case of short-chain acids at pH < pKa, the total transport was limited by diffusion of the anionic form of the acid across the unstirred layers, while at the alkaline pH (pH>>pKa) the transport was limited by diffusion of the neutral form across the membrane. In the alkaline pH range the pH shifts induced by short-chain acids were sensitive to the presence of cholesterol in the BLM as well as to the stirring conditions in the cell. However, in the case of long chain acids (more than 8 carbonic atoms) the transport was limited by diffusion of the anionic form of the acid in the whole range of pH studied. In the latter case, pH changes in the unstirred layers did not depend on the presence of cholesterol in the membrane, and moreover pH shifts were not dependent on the thickness of the unstirred layer. It was proposed that the peculiarities of the long-chain acid-induced proton transport were associated with the formation of micelles of the acid in bathing solutions.

Abstract
An in vitro method was developed to investigate the enhancement of hydrocortisone transport across human stratum corneum (SC) by a model enhancer, lauric acid, in aqueous solutions under equilibrium conditions with respect to the enhancer. In contrast to classical (i.e., nonequilibrium) loading techniques, in which the enhancer is applied only to the donor side of SC either in pure form or in an organic solvent while enhancer-free aqueous buffers are placed in the receptor phase, this method allowed the investigation of pH effects, concentration effects, and reversibility of both enhancer uptake and enhancement of drug transport under thermodynamically well-defined conditions. The SC-buffer partition coefficients for lauric acid were linear with concentration and sigmoidal with pH, suggesting that both the neutral species and laurate anion partition into SC. Comparisons of partition coefficients in delipidized and untreated SC as a function of pH indicated that the uptake of lauric acid in neutral form is governed primarily by the lipid domain, whereas the protein domain accounts for anion uptake. The effects of lauric acid on skin permeability were > 80% reversible upon extraction of the enhancer from the membrane. However, the degree of enhancement of hydrocortisone permeability was nonlinearly dependent on the equilibrium concentration of lauric acid in either the aqueous buffer or the membrane, exhibiting thresholds in the appearance of enhancement with concentration. The enhancer concentration necessary to achieve isoenhancement of about 6-fold varied from approximately 1 x 10(-5) M at pH < pKa to approximately 1 x 10(-2) M at high pH (pH > 8) demonstrating the higher influence of the free acid species.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
