Abstract
Artemisinin has been widely used in various countries around the world for the treatment of malaria, which has saved so many lives that it continues to attract the attention of scientific researchers. However, its clinical efficacy and potential applications in other fields could be affected by its poor water-solubility. Thus, it is necessary to study the solubility and crystallization of artemisinin. At the present study, the solubility of artemisinin (Form Ⅰ) in three (tetrahydrofuran + isopropanol, 1,4-dioxane + isopropanol, 1,4-dioxane + n-propanol) binary solvents were measured from 283.15 K to 323.15 K by a gravimetric method. The Ma model, Ideal model, Jouyban-van′t Hoff model and GSM model were selected to fit the obtained solubility. Furthermore, ARD, RMSD and RD were used to evaluate the correlate reliability of the thermodynamic models. The average 100ARD and 104RMSD of the four models were 2.19 (Ma), 1.48 (GSM), 2.18 (Jouyban-van′t Hoff), 1.53 (Ideal) and 12.37 (Ma), 8.27 (GSM), 11.18 (Jouyban-van′t Hoff), 5.74 (Ideal), respectively. Additionally, DSC, TGA, PXRD and crystal morphology characterization analysis were used to analyze the crystal polymorphic change during the artemisinin dissolution process. Besides, Hansen solubility parameters and thermodynamic properties including ΔsolH°, ΔsolS°, ΔsolG°, ζH and ζTS of artemisinin (Form Ⅰ) in the selected solvents were investigated. The research could give important guiding significance and make a fundamental contribution to enrich and expand the solubility database and thermodynamic mechanism of dissolution and crystallization process of artemisinin (Form Ⅰ).
期刊介绍:
Industrial Crops and Products is an International Journal publishing academic and industrial research on industrial (defined as non-food/non-feed) crops and products. Papers concern both crop-oriented and bio-based materials from crops-oriented research, and should be of interest to an international audience, hypothesis driven, and where comparisons are made statistics performed.
