From H2 O to Healing: Insights into Water-Based Drug Delivery and Their Health Benefits
Keywords:
Water, Solvent, Pharmacology, Drug Formulation, Drug Administration, Biochemical ConsiderationsAbstract
This article delves into the physicochemical properties of water, a crucial solvent in pharmacology, and its impact on drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Water’s high polarity, hydrogen bonding, and high dielectric constant make it an ideal medium for dissolving various compounds. Its solubility is crucial for drug efficacy, while its stability is influenced by factors like pH, temperature, and impurities. The interaction between drugs and water molecules is also vital. Water quality, temperature, and pH also affect drug dissolution, affecting their pharmacokinetic profiles and therapeutic outcomes. Understanding these biochemical aspects is vital for developing efficient drug delivery systems and optimising pharmacological interventions. Thus, understanding water’s physicochemical properties is vital for the development of effective drug delivery systems.
