1. Nature of Solute and Solvent
“Like dissolves like”
Solubility – maximum amount of solute expressed in grams that can be dissolved in 100 g of water Miscibility – ability of one substance to mix with another substance
2. Temperature
↑ temperature = ↓ solubility of a gas
Exothermic – solubility decreases with increase in temp (Mg citrate) Endothermic – solubility increases with increase in temp
3. Pressure ( for gases only)
Henry’s Law – the solubility of a gas increases as pressure increases 4. Particle Size/Surface Area
Decreased particle size = Increased surface area = Increased solubility 5. Presence of Salts
Salting Out – presence of salt decreases solubility

Density = mass per unit volume (M/V)
Specific gravity = density of sample/density of standard
COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES – property of solution depend on the number of solute particles dissolved in a solvent
Colligative Property Notes Formula
Vapor Pressure Lowering The addition of a non-volatile solute lowers the VP of a liquid
A liquid in a closed container will establish an equilibrium with its vapor
When equilibrium is reached, vapor exerts a pressure (vapor pressure)
VOLATILE – exhibits VP
NONVOLATILE – no measurable VP
Raoult’s Law – lowering of a vapor pressure of a solvent is equal to the product of the mole fraction of the solute and vapor pressure of the solvent
– 𝜟𝑷 = 𝑷° 𝒙 𝒎𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Boiling Point Elevation BP – temp at which liquid pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 760 mmHg) The boiling point of a solution containing a non-volatile solute would be higher than the pure solvent because the solute would lower the vapour pressure of the solvent

Osmotic Pressure Osmosis – movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from low to high concentration
This is the pressure required to offset the movement of solvent thru a s. membrane Also defined as the pressure required to prevent osmosis in solutions.

GASTROINTESTINAL AGENTS
Inorganic agents used to treat gastrointestinal disorders include: 1 antacids - products for altering gastric pH
2 protectives for intestinal inflammation 3 adsorbents for intestinal toxins 4 cathartics or laxatives for constipation Stomach pH: 1 when empty to 7 when food is present
Gastritis – specified circumscribed erosion
Peptic ulcer or Esophageal ulcer (heartburn) occurs when the esophageal sphincter is defective due to gastric food entering the
esophagus during a belch or upon lying in bed; emotional makeup is also a factor. Malignancy and hemorrhage are common with
gastric ulcers. Perforation is more common with duodenal ulcers.
Antacids - alkaline bases used to neutralize the excess gastric HCl associated with gastritis and peptic ulcers a. should not be absorbable or cause systemic alkalosis
b. should not be a laxative or cause constipation
c. should exert the effect rapidly and over a long period of time d. reaction with gastric HCl should not cause a large evolution of gas e. should buffer in the pH 4-6 range
f. should probably inhibit pepsin COMBINATION ANTACID PREPARATIONS

PROTECTIVES AND ADSORBENTS – mild diarrhea
Diarrhea - when some factor impairs digestion and/or adsoprtion, thereby increasing bulk of intestinal tract Acute Diarrhea - caused by bacterial toxins, chemical poisons, drugs, allergy and disease
Chronic Diarrhea - from GI surgery, carcinomas, chronic inflammatory conditions & various adsorptive defects).

• deals with the physicochemical properties of drugs that affect its biological action• the practice of medicinal chemistry is devoted to the discovery and development of new drugs
ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS
• Joseph Lister – introduced phenol (carbolic acid)
• Paul Ehrlich – Salvarsan (compound 606), Selective toxicity • Atoxyl (sodium arsanilate and arsphenamine) – for sleeping sickness • Germicides – anti-infective agents that are used locally
Antisepsis • Apply to living tissue
Decontamination • Destruction or marked reduction in the number or activity of microorganisms Disinfection • On inanimate objects
Sanitation • Reduction to a level acceptable for public health Sterilization • Kills all types including spores
Pasteurization • Nonsporulating microorganisms (65:-100:C)
LOCAL ANTI-INFECTIVES OR GERMICIDES
ALCOHOLS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS
o activity ↑ with MW until C8 (octanol), Branching ↓ antibacterial potency
o As primary alcohol chain ↑, Van der Waals interactions ↑, ability to penetrate microbial membranes ↑ o As water solubility ↓, potency ↓ with MW
1. Alcohol, USP (Spiritus vini rectificatus, wine spirit, Grain alcohol)
Fermentation product from grain and many other carbs, or sulfuric-acid-catalyzed hydration of ethylene
Most widely abused of all recreational drugs
Commercial: 95% ethanol (forms an azeotrope in water that distills at 78.2:C)
Antidote: disulfiram blocks aldehyde dehydrogenase acetaldehyde (nausea, vomiting, flushing)
Denatured - Completely denatured alcohol contains added methanol (wood alcohol) and benzene Rubbing (70%) - Astringent, rubefacient, refrigerant, mild local anesthetic
Dehydrated/Absolute - nlt 99% ethanol; obtained by azeotropic distillation
Isopropyl - Rapidly bactericidal (50% to 95%), 40% equal antiseptic power to a 60% ethanol 2. Ethylene Oxide
Used to sterilize temp-sensitive medical equipment and those that could not be autoclaved
Carboxide – 10% ethylene oxide + 90% CO2 (to prevent explosion)
MOA : alkylation of functional groups in nucleic acids and proteins 3. Formaldehyde Solution (Formalin)
nlt 37% of formaldehyde + methanol (retard polymerization to formic acid and paraformaldehyde)
MOA : direct, nonspecific alkylation of nucleophilic functional groups 4. Glutarol/Glutaraldehyde (Cidex)
