Physical pharmaceutics is the study of physicochemical properties of drug molecules in designing dosage forms. This document discusses the definitions and concepts related to solubility of drugs. It defines key terms like solute, solvent, saturated solution, and explains how solubility is expressed quantitatively and qualitatively. The mechanisms of solute-solvent interactions are discussed based on the nature of solvents being polar, non-polar or semi-polar. Specific examples are provided to illustrate solubility principles for different classes of solvents.
