Tolbutamide and chlorpropamide are oral hypoglycemic drugs that are
used to treat diabetic patients. In the context of employing these
drugs in green pharmaceutical applications that make use of supercritical
fluids, the solubility of tolbutamide and chlorpropamide in supercritical
CO<sub>2</sub> has been measured at 313.15, 333.15, and 353.15 K and
in the pressure range of 10–30 MPa. A semiflow apparatus equipped
with a continuous solvent-dilution device of the depressurization
line, which avoids the solubility data to be underestimated, was employed.
The solubility of tolbutamide is in the range of 1.66 × 10<sup>–5</sup> to 40.5 × 10<sup>–5</sup> mole fraction
while that of chlorpropamide is in the range of 2.29 × 10<sup>–6</sup> to 72.2 × 10<sup>–6</sup> mole fraction,
which indicates that the first drug has higher solubility in the supercritical
fluid than the latter, probably due to its higher hydrophobicity.
The results were successfully correlated with the most popular empirical
and semiempirical models reported in the literature. The Sparks model
provided the best correlation for chlorpropamide with an adjusted
absolute average percent deviation (AARD%) of 3.5%, while the Keshmiri
model provided the best correlation for tolbutamide, with an AARD%
of 4.8%. The self-consistency of the experimental data was checked
through the Méndez-Santiago and Teja model.
