Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of sustained‐action medication. Theoretical analysis of rate of release of solid drugs dispersed in solid matrices

TL;DR: The analyses suggest that for the latter system the time required to release 50% of the drug would normally be expected to be approximately 10 per cent of that required to dissolve the last trace of the solid drug phase in the center of the pellet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rate of release of medicaments from ointment bases containing drugs in suspension

TL;DR: An equation relating the rate of release of solid drugs suspended in ointment bases into perfect sinks is derived and the final expression is found to be surprisingly simple and convenient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissolution Behavior of Crystalline Solvated and Nonsolvated Forms of Some Pharmaceuticals

TL;DR: The results suggest that the tendency of many drugs to form such adducts provide pharmaceutical investigators a powerful tool in effecting rapid dissolution of highly insoluble substances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphism and drug availability. Solubility relationships in the methylprednisolone system

TL;DR: The thermodynamic relationships involving polymorphism and solubility were examined in some detail and applied to experimental results with the methylprednisolone system and indicate that much more energetic crystal forms are probable.
