Instability in solution can cause erroneous in vitro assay or in vivo
pharmacokinetic results.
Stability increases by replacing the unstable group, adding steric
hindrance, or electron withdrawal.
Solution Stability Fundamentals
Organic solvent stocks
Aqueous buffers
The specific conditions and components of each
of these solutions can cause compound
instability. Some of these challenges are as
follows
pH
Water
Bioassay buffers
Counter ions of salts
Dosing solutions
Solution components (DTT)
Excipients
GI tract
Enzymes
High-performance liquid
chromatography modifiers
Compounds are exposed to a wide range of
solutions during drug discovery.
These solutions include the following:
Temperature
Light
Oxygen
Stock Solutions
Organic or aqueous buffer solutions can expose compounds to decomposition
reactions induced by ambient laboratory light, elevated temperature, and oxygen
absorbed from the air.
paclitaxel epimerizes in solutions that are slightly basic.
mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy.
Taxol.
Bioassay buffers
Bioassay buffers can contain components that promote compound decomposition.
pH can promote hydrolysis or hydrate formation.
DTT can cause reduction or react as a nucleophile.
Solution components can react with discovery compounds.
Excipients
In the GI track
oral, intraperitoneal, or IV administration may promote compound decomposition.
For example, lactic acid-containing dosing solutions

acidic in the stomach and upper intestine
basic in the colon.
A wide array of hydrolytic enzymes are present in the GI tract
Pepsin & pancreatin) - These enzymes have the natural function of digesting
macromolecules to monomers for use as nutrients,
but they can also bind and hydrolyze drug compounds.
Hydrolysis Reaction

- Rracemization.
Effects of Solution Instability
Bioassay Buffer
Chemical instability in bioassay buffer solution reduces the compound concentration and produces decomposition
products that themselves may be active.

Metal
Leached material
In DMSO
Light
Light can induce reactions to certain sensitive compounds in a solution that is
exposed to laboratory light.
Structure Modification Strategies to Improve
Solution Stability
Structure modificaion
Elimination or modify unstable group
Add an electron-withdrawing group
Isosteric replacement of labile functional group
Increase steric hindrance
Elimination or modify the unstable Group

Conjugation

Isosteric Replacement of Labile Functional Group
If the functional group makes a significant contribution to the therapeutic
target binding,it is important to know what aspects of the group contribute to
active site interactions and attempt to find an isosteric replacement that aids
binding without contributing to instability.
Increase Steric Hindrance

Application of Solution Stability Data
Diagnose Poor In Vitro Bioassay Performance
White – stable
Gray – moderately stable
Black - Unstable
Stability screening in a 96-well format can quickly evaluate a large number of
compounds to diagnose their bioassay stability.
Application of Solution Stability Data
Diagnose Poor In Vivo Performance
Poor PK or pharmacological performance can occur in vivo if the compound is not stable in the GI system.
Low pH and enzymatic hydrolysis in the stomach or intestine can reduce in vivo exposure.

for plasma stability and metabolic stability.
Molecular weight – LC/MS
the molecular weight of putative decomposition products can be rapidly
calculated and compared to the results.
Such information is superior to quantitative data alone
because it can guide medicinal chemists in making structure modifications to
improve stability.

Use the same conditions and protocol that are relevant to the project’s experiment in
question.

from solution stability studies and how can they be used?
- Reaction kinetics (used to predict long-term stability); structures of decomposition products
(used to modify structures for improved stability).
6. For what purposes can solution stability data be used?
Diagnose unexplained results from in vivo or in vitro experiments; rank ordering compounds
for stability; apply kinetics for planning other experiments or clinical studies;
predict how much compound remains at various times; determine which moiety is unstable;
guide structural modifications to improve stability.
