Purpose
Approximately more than 30% of lead molecules fail early in development due to unfavorable
physicochemical profiles. Poor solubility is the reason for many of these pharmacokinetic
failures. Solubility is a thermodynamic parameter and which is related to the kinetic process of
dissolution followed by absorption. pH plays an important role for ionizable and zwetterionic
molecules. A standard technique to determine the thermodynamic aqueous compound solubility is
the shake flask method.
Assay protocol
Solubility measurement is performed under equilibrium conditions at pH 7.4. Approximately 1mg
of powder of the test compound is dissolved in phosphate buffer at pH 7.4. This solution is
shaken for 24 hr until equilibrium is reached. After separation of the solid by filtration, the
concentration of the compound in the filtrate is determined by LC-UV or LC/MS using one point
standard in DMSO solution.

Assay protocol
Assay is based on shake-flask procedure. Buffer at pH 7.4 is generally used as the aqueous phase. The
compounds are dissolved in DMSO. To 5L of this stock solution 500L of octanol and 500L of buffer is
added and shaken for a period of 4 hrs. The amount of compound in the buffer and n-octanol is determined
by LC-UV or LCMS

Assay protocol
Chemical stability is performed at a certain pH level. The compound is added to standard buffer solution or
other matrix of interest and incubated at 37C. Aliquots are removed at defined timepoints. For each time
point the pH of the solution and peak area of parent compound is measured by UPLC-UV-ELSD.
