Methods like hydrotropy, co-solvency, solid dispersions, and pH modification are discussed, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Hydrotropy, introduced by Carl A. Neuberg in 1916, enhances solubility without altering a drug's UV measurement range and is known for its eco-friendliness, stability, and scalability. Co-solvency modifies the solvent environment using solvents like ethanol but poses environmental concerns. Hydrotropy is safer and more scalable, though it requires more additives, while co-solvency is cost-effective but presents toxicity and precipitation risks. The environmental and safety benefits of hydrotropic solvents align with global sustainability initiatives like the UN SDGs. A case study comparing two UV methods (one with organic solvents and another with hydrotropic solvents) showed hydrotropy's superiority in sensitivity, stability, and sustainability, achieving a sustainability score of 71 % versus 29 % for methanol. The review also highlights the synergistic effects of multiple hydrotropic agents in improving solubility and drug stability. Overall, hydrotropy, particularly when combined with other solubility-enhancing techniques, represents a promising, sustainable approach for improving PAI solubility, offering significant safety, environmental, and economic benefits over traditional organic solvents.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":436,"journal":{"name":"Talanta Open","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100391"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143159202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
