Hydration behavior of D-calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5) in the presence of sugar-based deep eutectic solvents at different temperatures: experimental and theoretical study.

Considerable efforts have been devoted in recent years to enhancing the efficacy medicinal substance, leading to the discovery of innovative drug formulations and delivery techniques. The successful design of these processes necessitates a profound understanding at the molecular level of how these substances interact with biological membranes. Thorough thermodynamic investigations provide invaluable insights into these interactions and aid in selecting suitable compounds for pharmaceutical production. This study aims to determine the density and speed of sound for D-calcium pantothenate in mixtures of water and deep eutectic solvents (DESs), specifically choline chloride/sucrose, choline chloride/ glucose, and choline chloride/ fructose (with 2:1 molar ratio) over a temperature range of 288.15 K to 318.15 K under atmospheric pressure. In order to predict the behavior of molecules, COSMO model (the Conductor-Like Screening Model) offer complementary strengths in quantum chemistry. This approach allows for calculating solvation free energies, making it ideal for predicting properties like solubility, where understanding solvent-solute interactions is crucial. By correlating the measured parameters using standard relationships, important partial molar parameters such as apparent molar volumes and apparent molar isentropic compressibility are calculated. Additionally, apparent molar isobaric expansion, and Hepler's constant are derived from the density and speed of sound data. The experimental apparent molar volumes, and apparent molar isentropic compressibility data is fitted to the Redlich-Meyer equation to obtain significant quantities such as standard partial molar volume, and partial molar isentropic compression. The comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of this studied system holds immense significance for advancements in the pharmaceutical industry.
