WHAT IS DISSOLUTION?
Dissolution is a
process in which a
solid substance
solubilises in a given
solvent i.e mass
transfer from the solid
surface to the liquid
phase
WHAT IS DISSOLUTION RATE?
It is defined as the amount of solute dissolved in a given
solvent under standard conditions of temperature, pH ,
solvent composition and constant solid surface area.
Solute-solvent adhesive forces should overcome solute-
solute cohesive forces.

To show that the release of drug
from the tablet is close to 100%
To show that batch to batch rate
of drug release is uniform
To show that release is equivalent
to those batches proven to be
bioavailable
WHY DISSOLUTION STUDIES?
DISINTEGRATION AND DISSOLUTION
5
MECHANISMS OF DRUG RELEASE
1.) Diffusion method:
Molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy.
Based on Fick’s first law of diffusion
J= -D(dc/ dx)
where,
J is the amount of drug passing through the surface per
unit time
D is the diffusion coefficient
dc/dx is the concentration gradient
6
2.) Zero order release:
• Zero order refers to the process of constant drug release from a drug
delivery device such as oral osmotic tablets, transdermal systems,
matrix tablets with low soluble drugs
 Drug release from pharmaceutical dosage forms that donot
disaggregate and release the drug slowly can be represented by the
following equation

 W0 – Wt = K .t ------------------- 1
 W0 = initial amount of drug in the dosage form.
 Wt = amount of drug in the pharmaceutical dosage form at time t
 K = proportionality constant.
 Dividing this equation by W0 and simplifying
 ft = K0 .t
 where ft = 1-(Wt/W0)
 Ft = fraction of drug dissolved in time t and Ko the zero order release
constant.
 A graphic of the drug dissolved fraction versus time will be linear
7
3.) First order release:
 If the amount of drug Q is decreasing at a rate that is
proportional to he amount of drug Q remaining ,then the
rate of release of drug Q is expressed as
 dQ/dt = -k.Q -----------------1
 Where k is the first order rate constant.
 Integration of above equation gives,
 ln Q = -kt + ln Q0 ---------------- 2
 The above equation is aslo expressed as
 Q = Q0 e-kt ------------------------ 3
 Because ln=2.3 log, equation (2) becomes
 log Q = log Q0 + kt/2.303 ---------------------(4)
 This is the first order equation
 A graphic of the logarithm of released amount of drug
versus time will be linear. 8
4.) Korsmeyer and Peppas model
 Also called as Power law
 To understand the mechanism of drug release and to
compare the release profile differences among these
matrix formulations ,the percent drug released time
versus time were fitted using this equation
Mt / M∞ = k. tn
 Mt / M∞ = percent drug released at time t
 k= constant incorporating structural and geometrical
characteristics of the sustained release device.
 n = release exponential which characterizes
mechanism of drug release 9

THEORIES OF DISSOLUTION
Diffusion layer
model/film
theory
Danckwert’s
model/surface
renewal
theory
Interfacial
barrier theory
11
DIFFUSION LAYER MODEL/FILM THEORY
The theory is based on absence of
any reactive or chemical forces.
It consist of two consecutive steps:
1)Formation of stagnant film or
diffusion layer
2)Diffusion of soluble solute from the
stagnant layer to the bulk of the
solution(rate determining step).
12
DIFFUSION LAYER MODEL/FILM THEORY
13
DIFFUSION LAYER MODEL/FILM THEORY
14
Transport of solute into bulk is slower
than solvent-solute interaction
DIFFUSION LAYER MODEL/FILM THEORY
15
dC/dt= dissolution rate of the drug
k= dissolution rate constant
Cs= concentration of drug in the stagnant
layer
Cb= concentration of drug in the bulk of
the solution at time t.
Based on Fick’s first law of diffusion:
Nerst and Brunner modified Noyes-Whitney
equation to:
dC/dt =D.A.Kw/o (Cs –Cb) v.h
dC/dt = dissolution rate of the drug.
D = diffusion coefficient of the drug.
A = surface area of the dissolving solid
Kw/o = water/oil partition coefficient of drug
V = volume of dissolution medium
h = thickness of stagnant layer
(Cs- Cb)= concentration gradient for diffusion of
drugs
16
PARAMETERS SYMBOL INFLUENCE ON DRUG
DISSOLUTION
Diffusion coefficient D Greater the value, faster is
the dissolution rate
Surface area of solid A Greater the surface area,
faster the dissolution rate
Water/oil partition
coefficient
Kw/o Higher the value, faster the
dissolution rate
Concentration gradient Cs-Cb Greater the value, faster the
dissolution rate
Thickness of stagnant layer h More the thickness, lesser is
the diffusion and dissolution
rate
17
 Noyes-Whitney equation represents first order
dissolution rate process where (Cb-Cs) acts as the
driving force .
 Dissolution is in non-sink conditions, this is true
in case of in-vitro dissolution in limited
dissolution medium.
 Dissolution slows down as concentration in the
bulk builds up.
 In-vivo dissolution is always faster than in-vitro
dissolution, as Cb=0.
 No concentration build up, hence no retarding
force on dissolution rate.
18
 Cs>>Cb, thus sink conditions are maintained.
 Equation reduces to dC/dt =K
19
IN VITRO-IN VIVO CORRELATIONS
The relation can be improved by:
 Bathing the dissolving solid in fresh solvent.
 Increasing the volume of dissolution fluid.
 Partitioning dissolved drug from aqueous phase to
organic phase.
 Adding water-miscible solvent to the dissolution
fluid.
 Adding adsorbent to remove the dissolved drug.
20
 Noyes-Whitney equation assumes that the surface
area of the dissolving solid remains constant which
is practically impossible for dissolving solids.
 To account for particle size decrease and change in
surface area, Hixson and Crowell’s c Equation:
w0
1/3 – w1/3 = k .t
W=mass of drug remaining to be dissolved at time
t
k=dissolution rate constant
W =original mass of the drug
21
 Hixon-crowell cube root law
 Hixon Crowell cube root equation for dissolution kinetics is based on assumption that:
a) Dissolution occurs normal to the surface of the solute particles
b) Agitation is uniform all over the exposed surfaces and there is no stagnation.
c) The particle of solute retains its geometric shape
 The particle (sphere) has a radius r and surface area 4Π r2
 Through dissolution the radius is reduced by dr and the infinitesimal
volume of section lost is
 dV = 4Π r2 . dr ------------------(1)
 For N such particles, the volume loss is
 dV = 4N Π r2 dr ----------------------------(2)
 The surface of N particles is
 S = 4 N Π r2 -----------------------------(3)
 Now ,the infinitesimal weight change as represented by he Noyes –
Whitney law ,equation is
 dW = k.S.Cs.dt ---------------------------(4)
 The drugs density is multiplied by the infinitesimal volume change
22
 ρ.dV, can be set equal to dW,
 ρ.dV = k.S.Cs.dt --------------------------- (5)
 Equations (2) and (3) are substituted into equation (5) , to
yield
 -4 ρ N Π r2 . dr = 4 N Π r2 . K .Cs .dt -------------(6)
 Equation 6 is divided through by 4 N Π r2 to give
 - ρ . Dr = k Cs.dt -------------------------(7)
 Integration with r = ro at t= 0produces the expression
 r = ro – kCs .t/ ρ -----------------------------(8)
 The radius of spherical particles can be replaced by the weight
of N particles by using the relationship of volume of sphere
 W = N ρ(Π/6)d3 ----------------------------(9)
 Taking cube root of the equation (9) yield,
 W 1/3 = [ N ρ(Π/6)]1/3. d. ----------------------------(10)
 The diameter d from equation (10) ,is substituted for 2r into
equation 8 to give
23
 W0
1/3 - W1/3 =k t ------------------(11)
 Where k = [ N ρ(Π/6)]1/3.2 k Cs/ρ.
 Wo is the original weight of drug particles .
 Equation (11) is known as Hixson- Crowell cube
root law ,and k is the cube root dissolution rate
constant.
24
DANCKWERT’S MODEL
Disapproved the existence of a stagnant layer at solid-
liquid interface.
There exist turbulence in the dissolution medium at
the solid-liquid interface.
Mass of eddies or packets reach the solid- liquid
interface due to eddy currents.
Absorb solute by diffusion and carry it back into bulk
solution.
25
DANCKWERT’S MODEL
26
DANCKWERT’S MODEL
 As the packets are continuously replaced with new
packets of fresh solvent, the concentration at
interface never reaches Cs.
 Since solvent packets are exposed to new solid
surface each time, the theory is also known as
surface renewal theory.
27
DANCKWERT’S MODEL
28
DANCKWERT’S MODEL
 The Danckwert model is expressed by the
equation:
V.dC/dT= dm/dt = A ( Cs-Cb). (ү.D)1/2
Where, m=mass of solid dissolved
y= rate of surface renewal
29
Diffusion and Danckwert’s model is
based on two assumptions:
The rate limiting steps that controls
dissolution is the mass transport.
Solid- solution equilibrium is
achieved at the solid- liquid interface
30
INTERFACIAL BARRIER MODEL
In this model it is assumed
that the reaction at solid
surface is not instantaneous
i.e. the reaction at solid
surface and its diffusion
across the interface is
slower than diffusion across
liquid film.
Therefore the rate of
solubility of solid in liquid
film becomes the rate
limiting than the diffusion
of dissolved molecules
31
 In the interfacial barrier model, it is assumed that
the reaction at the solid/liquid interface is not
instantaneous due to a high activation free energy
barrier which has to be surmounted before the
solid can dissolve.
 The rate of diffusion in the static layer is
relatively fast in comparison with the surmounting
of the energy barrier, which therefore becomes
rate limiting in the dissolution process.
32
33
Equation : dm/dt = Ki (Cs – Cb)
Where Ki = effective interfacial transport rate
CONCLUSION
 The Quantitative interpretation of the values
obtained in dissolution assays is easier using
mathematical equations which describe the
release profile in function of some parameters
related with the pharmaceutical dosage forms
 As dissolution is an important qc procedure, it
is necessary to understand the basic
mechanisms and theories of the process
 Only then its easier to interpret the results
and understand IVIVC

  • 27. DANCKWERT’S MODEL  As the packets are continuously replaced with new packets of fresh solvent, the concentration at interface never reaches Cs.  Since solvent packets are exposed to new solid surface each time, the theory is also known as surface renewal theory. 27
  • 29. DANCKWERT’S MODEL  The Danckwert model is expressed by the equation: V.dC/dT= dm/dt = A ( Cs-Cb). (ү.D)1/2 Where, m=mass of solid dissolved y= rate of surface renewal 29
  • 30. Diffusion and Danckwert’s model is based on two assumptions: The rate limiting steps that controls dissolution is the mass transport. Solid- solution equilibrium is achieved at the solid- liquid interface 30
  • 31. INTERFACIAL BARRIER MODEL In this model it is assumed that the reaction at solid surface is not instantaneous i.e. the reaction at solid surface and its diffusion across the interface is slower than diffusion across liquid film. Therefore the rate of solubility of solid in liquid film becomes the rate limiting than the diffusion of dissolved molecules 31
  • 32.  In the interfacial barrier model, it is assumed that the reaction at the solid/liquid interface is not instantaneous due to a high activation free energy barrier which has to be surmounted before the solid can dissolve.  The rate of diffusion in the static layer is relatively fast in comparison with the surmounting of the energy barrier, which therefore becomes rate limiting in the dissolution process. 32
  • 33. 33 Equation : dm/dt = Ki (Cs – Cb) Where Ki = effective interfacial transport rate
  • 34. CONCLUSION  The Quantitative interpretation of the values obtained in dissolution assays is easier using mathematical equations which describe the release profile in function of some parameters related with the pharmaceutical dosage forms  As dissolution is an important qc procedure, it is necessary to understand the basic mechanisms and theories of the process  Only then its easier to interpret the results and understand IVIVC 34
