SUMMARY

A correlation of the logarithmic values of the in vitro dissolution rate, G, and apparent solubility, S, was made for seven different drug substances from all of the classes in the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS), in four different phosphate buffers. The effect of inorganic salts added as sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium phosphate and sodium sulfate in the buffer media was investigated for the correlation. Triethanolammonium acetate buffer was also included in the study of the correlation of logG vs. logS. The pH was 7.0
