Abstract
Tolnaftate (TNF) is a local antifungal agent. The determination of its solubility can serve as a valuable reference for its crystallization and formulation design, an area that has not yet been comprehensively investigated. In this study, the static method was carried out to determine the solubility of TNF in 10 mono-solvents (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, n-octanol, 1,2-propanediol, ethylene glycol, acetic acid) and the binary mixed solvents (acetic acid + ethylene glycol) at T = (283.15 to 328.15) K and P = 0.1 MPa. The experiment results showed that TNF dissolves best in acetic acid and worst in ethylene glycol among investigated mono-solvents. And the solubility in mixed solvents was observed to increase as the mole ratio of acetic acid augments. In all solvents, there is obviously increase in the solubility of TNF as temperature elevates. The Apelblat model, van't Hoff model, Jouyban model, GCM model, Sun model and Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree model were used to fit the solubility values. And the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the calculated values and experimental values are less than 0.025 %, showing that the experimental values are accurate and the models have good fitting effects. At the same time, X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) tests confirmed that the absence of crystal transformation during the process of TNF dissolution. In addition, according to the KAT-LSER model, the influence of solute-solvent interactions on the solubility of TNF exceeds that of solvent-solvent interactions. The thermodynamic properties including entropy (ΔH0sol), enthalpy (ΔS0sol), Gibbs free energy (ΔG0sol), enthalpy contribution (%ξH) and entropy contribution (%ξS) were calculated, which proved that dissolution process of TNF is endothermic and entropy-driven, and enthalpy mainly affects Gibbs free energy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics exists primarily for dissemination of significant new knowledge in experimental equilibrium thermodynamics and transport properties of chemical systems. The defining attributes of The Journal are the quality and relevance of the papers published.
The Journal publishes work relating to gases, liquids, solids, polymers, mixtures, solutions and interfaces. Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates, among others, will also be considered provided these are well characterized and reproducible where possible. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.
Authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results. Articles can contain modelling sections providing representations of data or molecular insights into the properties or transformations studied. Theoretical papers on chemical thermodynamics using molecular theory or modelling are also considered.
The Journal welcomes review articles in the field of chemical thermodynamics but prospective authors should first consult one of the Editors concerning the suitability of the proposed review.
Contributions of a routine nature or reporting on uncharacterised materials are not accepted.
