Temperature dependency of saturated vapor pressure, thermochemical, and thermodynamic characteristics of sublimation, as well as fusion and vaporization processes, for atenolol and pindolol was studied. Specific and nonspecific energetic terms in the crystal lattices were estimated. Temperature dependencies of solubility in buffer (pH 7.4), in n-octanol, and in n-hexane were measured. Thermodynamic functions of solubility, solvation, and transfer processes were deduced. It was found that transfer processes for the drugs moving from water into n-octanol are determined mainly by the entropy term. Distribution coefficients of the compounds in the water/n-octanol system were derived and compared with analogous coefficients calculated from saturation solubility data in the individual solvents. The impact of mutual dissolution of water and n-octanol molecules in the water/n-octanol system on distribution coefficients is discussed.

The structural response of 1,2-dimyristoyl-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC)/water bilayers to addition and subsequent solvation of a small amphiphilic molecule - an anesthetic benzyl alcohol - was studied by means of solid-state NMR (H NMR, P NMR) spectroscopy and low-angle X-ray diffraction. The sites of binding of this solute molecule within the bilayer were determined - the solute was shown to partition between several sites in the bilayer and the equilibrium was shown to be dynamic and dependent on the level of hydration and temperature. At the same time, it was shown that solubilization of benzyl alcohol reached a solubility limit and was terminated when the ordering profile of DMPC hydrocarbon chains adopted finite limiting values throughout the whole chain.

Metal flux methods are excellent for synthesizing high-quality hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) crystals, but the atomic mechanisms of hBN nucleation and growth in these systems are poorly understood and difficult to probe experimentally. Here, we harness classical reactive molecular dynamics (ReaxFF) to unravel the mechanisms of hBN synthesis from liquid nickel solvent over time scales up to 30 ns. These simulations mimic experimental conditions by including relatively large liquid nickel slabs containing dissolved boron and a molecular nitrogen gas phase.

Finding of new environmentally friendly cellulose solvent system is critical for efficient usage of cellulose. In this paper, cellulose solvent based on the mixture of di-tetrabutylammonium hydrogen phosphate and dimethyl sulfoxide (TBAHPO/DMSO) was developed. We found that TBAHPO/DMSO system has excellent solubility of cellulose.

Objective: The present study aims to develop and evaluate the voriconazole-loaded thermoresponsive hydrogel using tools.
Methods: Poloxamer 407 and PEG 400 were selected as the components from studies for thermoresponsive hydrogel of voriconazole. The cohesive energy density (CED) and solubility parameters (SP) were calculated using Biovia Material Studio 2022 software to predict the polymer-polymer miscibility and drug-polymer miscibility.
