Physicochemical Profile of Antiandrogen Drug Bicalutamide: Solubility, Distribution, Permeability.

ABSTRACT: The pharmacologically relevant physicochemical properties of the antiandrogen drug bicalutamide (BCL) have been determined for the first time. Solubility in aqueous solution, 1-octanol, n-hexane, and ethanol was measured by the shake flask method in the temperature range of 293.15-313.15 K. The compound was shown to be poorly soluble in aqueous medium and n-hexane; at the same time, an essentially higher solubility in the alcohols was revealed. The following order of molar solubility was determined: ethanol > 1-octanol > water ≈ n-hexane. The solubility was correlated with the Van't Hoff and Apelblat equations. Evaluation of the Hansen solubility parameters and the atomic group contribution approach of Hoftyzer and Van Krevelen demonstrated consistency with the experimental data and
