This document defines solubility and discusses the need for enhancing solubility of poorly soluble drugs. It classifies techniques for enhancing drug solubility into chemical modifications, physical modifications, and other approaches such as pH adjustment and use of supercritical fluids. Chemical modifications include techniques like salt formation, co-crystallization, and use of novel solubilizers. Physical modifications involve methods for reducing particle size, modifying crystal habits, and using surfactants, solid solutions, and inclusion complexes to improve solubility. Proper solubility is essential for drug absorption and bioavailability after oral administration.
