Measurement and Correlation for Solubility of Moroxydine Hydrochloride in Pure and Binary Solvents

The solubility of moroxydine hydrochloride was determined by the gravimetrical method (temperature from 283.15 to 323.15 K, pressure at 101.325 kPa) in 12 pure solvents (water, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-pentanol, 2-butanol, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, and acetone) and a binary system (water + 2-propanol). The results of this experiment suggested that the solubility data of moroxydine hydrochloride increased with increasing mole fraction of water and experimental temperature in all investigated neat and mixed solvent systems. The moroxydine hydrochloride solubility order in the 12 neat solvents was shown as water > methanol > ethanol > 1-propanol > 1-butanol > 2-methyl- 1 - propanol > 2-propanol > 1-pentanol > 2-butanol > acetonitrile approximate to ethyl acetate approximate to acetone. For polar protic solvents except for 1-pentanol, the main factor influencing the solubility behavior was the polarity. While it was affected by complicating factors in polar aprotic solvents. The fitting results of the moroxydine hydrochloride solubility data obtained by the modified Apelblat, Jouyban-Acree, and Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree models were all satisfactory.
