Review: Drug Dissolution and Solubility

    The review's goals are to: a) provide a clear overview of current solubility and dissolution science, b) describe common technologies for assessing solubility and dissolution, and c) recommend the best practice technique. The theories of solubility and dissolution that are required in drug development have been examined, with an emphasis on oral absorption. Dissolution had been elaborated with the equation. Low-water solubility drugs have slow rates of dissolving, which leads to issues with oral bioavailability. Insufficient bioavailability is frequently caused by poorly water-soluble medicines' weak solubility and slow rate of dissolution in aqueous gastrointestinal fluids. Noyes Whitney's equation has been discussed and elaborated in this review. Solubility concepts are revised. Significance points of both dissolution and solubility are related to the oral absorption of drugs.
