Abstract:

The pH-solubility behavior and solubility of 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-5'-O-isonicotinoylthymidine (AZT-Iso), an antiretroviral derivative of zidovudine with important biological activity, was studied in water, ethanol, ethanol: water, and n-octanol. The N-pyridine pKa value was determined from its pH-solubility profile, which was in accordance with that of the experimental value of methyl isonicotinate. Also, the ethanol cosolvency in ethanol:water mixtures at 25°C was studied, and log-linear and nonlinear solubilization models were applied to the experimental solubility AZT-Iso data, which allowed us to predict its solubility in those solvent mixtures at a determined content of cosolvent.

Keywords: Water solubility; Cosolvency; Log-linear and nonlinear solubilization models
