a b s t r a c t The solubility profile of apixaban in pure and mixed solvents within the temperature range from (288.15 to 328.15) K under atmosphere pressure (101.3 kPa) was studied and evaluated by some thermodynamics models. The solid state of apixaban in equilibrated form was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. The maximum mole solubility in pure solvents was obtained in 1, 4-dioxane (3.648  103) at 328.15 K, and followed by methanol (1.967  103), acetone (7.885  104),ethanol (6.049  104), isopropanol (3.806  104), ethyl acetate (2.266  104), n-hexane (1.883  104), water (3.989  105). The solubility was quite small. Therefore, the solubility profile of apixaban in mixtures of (1, 4-dioxane + water) was further studied. Moreover, it increased at first and then decreased with the increasing mass fraction of 1, 4-dioxane. Moreover, the extended Hildebrand solubility approach (EHSA) was applied to evaluate the co-solvency phenomenon in mixed solvent at 298.15 K. In the following, the analysis of apparent thermodynamic properties indicates that the dissolution process in all selected solvents is an endothermic and entropy driven process.

1. Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia which is associated with increased risk of stroke, the prevalence of the disease in the United States in 2010 was 5.2 million and is expected to rise to by 2030 [1]. Vitamin K antagonists are highly effective in preventing stroke in patients with AF [2,3]. However, many patients are not suitable candidates for or are unwilling to receive vitamin K antagonist therapy, and these patients have a high risk of stroke [4]. In recent years, the development of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), including direct thrombin inhibitor and factor Xa inhibitors have increased therapeutic options for anticoagulation and could potentially overcome many drawbacks of Vitamin K [5]. Apixaban (CAS Reg. No. 503612-47-3; chemical structure shown in Fig. 1), an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor with a trade name of Eliquis and marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb [6], is a novel anticoagulant [7] that a few studies have demonstrated its safety and efficacy profile [4]. Factor Xa catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, the final enzyme in the coagulation cascade that is responsible for fibrin clot formation [8]. Apixaban has no direct effect on platelet aggregation, but by inhibiting factor Xa, it ⇑ Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (M. Wang).

indirectly decreases clot formation induced by thrombin. In industry, the process of preparing apixaban is complicated owing to many intermediates need to be prepared [9]. Like many other pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, solution crystallization is the final step to obtain apixaban products with high purity and high yield. The recrystallization process of apixaban needs the solubility data urgently [10]. So it is important to know the solubility data to select the best solvent for recrystallization in industrial production. Drug solid can exist in crystalline, amorphous or partially crystalline powders. Crystalline structures have long range molecular order, while amorphous structures are more disordered. Crystalline and amorphous materials show significantly different physicochemical properties, due to differences in microstructure, this affecting the stability, bioavailability and curative effect of the drug. Therefore, it is very important to analyze the crystal form of solid drug substance for controlling the quality and efficacy of drugs [11,12]. In this work, the isothermal saturation method was adopted to measure the solubility of apixaban in water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, 1,4-dioxane, acetone and (water + 1,4-dioxane) mixtures at temperatures ranging from 288.15 K to 328.15 K under atmospheric pressure. The modified Apelblat equation and kh equation were employed to correlate the experimental solubility in pure solvents, and the solubility in binary solvent mixtures was correlated by the Jouyban-Acree

recrystallization in methanol and the final purity was 0.994 in mass fraction, which was confirmed by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The solvents, including methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, 1,4-dioxane, and acetone with analytical grade were provided by Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd., China. The mass fraction purities of these solvents were all higher than 0.994, which were provided by supplier. The water used in the experiment is the secondary distilled water prepared by our laboratory. The purity and source information of the chemicals employed in this work is tabulated in Table 1. 2.2. Characterization of apixaban The X-ray diffractometer (XRD) used in this work is a Rigaku D/max-2500 (Rigaku, Japan) using Cu Ka radiation (1.5405 Å). In this work, a step size of 0.02°and a scanning rate of 10°/min over a diffraction angle (2h) range of 5°–50° were used before and after the experiments to confirm the form of apixaban. The patterns are shown in Fig. 2.

The extended Hildebrand solubility approach (EHSA) was applied to evaluate the co-solvency phenomenon in mixed solvent at 298.15 K. Moreover, some apparent thermodynamic properties of dissolution process in all selected solvents were discussed. 2. Experimental section 2.1.

2.3. Solubility measurement In this work, the solubility of apixaban in pure solvents including water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, 1,4-dioxane, acetone and binary solvent mixtures of water + 1,4dioxane were determined by the isothermal saturation method [13,14]. Saturated solutions of apixaban were prepared in the jacketed glass vessel. The temperature of the vessel was kept at the desired value through circulating water, which temperature was controlled by the smart thermostatic bath (model: DZKW-4) through the outer jacket of the jacketed glass vessel. The real temperature was displayed by using a mercury glass micro thermometer, which standard uncertainty is 0.02 K. For each

experiment, an excess amount of apixaban was introduced to the glass vessel. Continuous stirring was obtained for intensive mixing the suspension by means of a magnetic stirrer at a certain temperature. In order to determine the equilibration time of the solid–liquid system, about 0.5 mL liquid phase was taken out every an hour by using a 2 mL syringe connected with a 0.2 lm pore filter, and then analyzed by a the high-performance liquid phase chromatograph (HPLC). The same content of liquid phase indicated that the solution reached equilibrium. The results show that 12 h can ensure that the system is completely saturated. When the solid– liquid system arrived at equilibrium, the stirring was stopped and the solution was permitted to settle for 1 h before sampling. The upper portion was taken out with a 5 mL of preheated syringe connected with a filter (PTFE 0.2 lm), and transferred into a volumetric flask of 25 mL preweighed with the balance. The volumetric flask with sample was covered quickly with a rubber stopper. The total amount of the solution and flask was weighed again by using the balance. Then the sample was diluted to 25 mL with methanol, and analyzed with a high-performance liquid chromatography. All the experiments were carried out three times, and the average value was employed to calculate the mole fraction solubility. The saturated mole fraction solubility of apixaban (xw;T ) in pure and binary solvents are obtained by using Eqs. (1) and (2).

Here x1 is the mole fraction solubility of apixaban; m1 refers to the mass of solute, m2 and m3 represent the mass of the solvents that constitute the solution. M1, M2 and M3 are the corresponding molecule mass of each solvent.

2.4. Analysis method The content of apixaban was analyzed using the Agilent-1260 high-performance liquid-phase chromatograph (HPLC). It was equipped with a reverse phase column with a type of LP-C18 (250 mm  4.6 mm). The temperature of reverse phase column was 303.15 K. The wavelength of the UV detector was set to 280 nm. Pure methanol was used as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mLmin1. Each analysis was repeated three times to check the repeatability and three samples were taken for each equilibrium solution at a given temperature. The average value was regarded as the final solubility data.

3. Results and discussion

3.2. Solubility data The measured mole fraction solubility of apixaban in pure and binary solvents were presented in Tables 2 and 3, and plotted in Figs. 3 and 4. It can be found that the solubility of apixaban is a function of temperature and solvent composition. The solubility of apixaban monotonically increased with an increasing temperature, and The maximum mole solubility in pure solvents was obtained in 1, 4-dioxane (3.648  103) at 328.15 K, and followed by methanol (1.967  103), acetone (7.885  104), ethanol (6.049  104), isopropanol (3.806  104), ethyl acetate (2.266  104), n-hexane (1.883  104), water (3.989  105). In three alcohols, it decreased with the increase of carbon chain length. While, in other solvents, it increased with the rising solubility parameters except for water. The influencing factors are comparatively complex, including the polarity of the studied solvents, intermolecular interactions between the solute and the solvent, hydrogen bonding interaction, and so on [15]. For the mixtures of (1, 4-dioxane + water), Fig. 4 show that the solubility increased monotonically with the temperature at all studied composition, but the composition dependence of the solubility had a maximum around the 1, 4-dioxane mass fraction w = 0.8302. After that, with the increase of co-solvent (1, 4-dioxane), the intermolecular force increases gradually, resulting in an increase of solubility while w 5 0.8302, however, it is vice versa at w﹥0.8302. It is acknowledged that solutes reach their maximum solubility value in solvents with the same solubility parameter. In order to estimate maximum solubility at certain mixture ratio, the extended Hildebrand solubility approach (EHSA) was applied to evaluate the cosolvency phenomenon in mixed solvent at 298.15 K. [16] The relevant calculation process is shown in Table S1. In this work, Hilde

brand solubility parameter is 30.02 MPa0.5, and the D d factor between this drug and mixed solvent is presented in Table 4. The minimum value is founded at w = 0.88 (in mass fraction). It is very close to the composition of the mixed solvent when the solubility data reach the maximum (at w = 0.8302). It may be the deviation of estimating the molar volume and partial solubility parameters of solute. 3.3. Solubility modeling In this work, some models were employed to correlated the solubility of apixaban in pure and binary solvents, which correspond to the modified Apelblat equation [17–19], kh equation [20], Jouyban-Acree model [21,22], Modified Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree model [23,24] and a combination of the Jouyban-Acree model with the van’t Hoff equation [23,24]. 3.3.1. Modified Apelblat equation The modified Apelblat equation is a semi-empirical equation. It describes the dependence of mole fraction solubility on the absolute temperature T, and expressed as equation (3) [17–19].

3.1. XRD analysis The results of XRD were presented in Fig. 2. From Fig. 2, it can be seen that all the XPRD patterns of solid phase of apixaban in equilibrium with its solution have the same characteristic peaks with the raw material. Therefore, no polymorph transformation or solvate formation is observed during the whole experiment. In addition, compared the analysis of X-ray powder diffraction in references 11 and 12, in this work, the characteristic peaks of Xray powder diffraction are expressed at 2h angle of 8.5°, 10.0°, 10.5°, 11.2°, 12.3°, 16.3°, 17.0°, 18.5°, 18.9°, 19.6°, 21.1°, 21.5°, 22.0 ± 0.2°, 22.3°, 24.8°, 27.0°, 29.9°, and 32.7°, it is almost the same as the XRD curves of apixaban form I in references 11 and 12.

where x is the mole fraction solubility of apixaban in pure organic solvents; A, B and C are the adjustable parameters in the modified Apelblat equation. 3.3.2. Buchowski–Ksiazaczak kh equation The Buchowski–Ksiazaczak kh equation, expressed as Eq. (4), is another equation to describe the solubility of solid in pure solvent. [20]. The Buchowski–Ksiazaczak kh equation has two parameters k and h, and Tm is the melting temperature of apixaban in Kelvin.

where xw,T is the solubility of solute in mole fraction in the binary solvent mixtures at temperature T in Kelvin; w1 and w2 denote the mass fraction of solvents 1 (1,4-dioxane) and 2 (water) in the absence of the solute (apixaban), respectively; x1,T and x2,T are the mole fraction solubility of solute in pure solvent, and Ji stands for the Jouyban-Acree model parameters. 3.3.4. Van’t Hoff-Jouyban-Acree model A linear van’t Hoff equation is established for providing precise predictions of a solute dissolved in a solvent at a limited temperature range. It describes the dependence of the natural logarithm of the mole fraction solubility on the reciprocal of absolute temperature and is expressed as Eq. (6) [24]. The solubility of a solute in pure solvent at different temperatures can be calculated with the van’t Hoff equation.

(3–10) are obtained by nonlinear least-squares method using Mathcad software. The obtained values of model parameters are tabulated in Tables S2 and S3, together with the values of RAD and RMSD. The solubility of apixaban in pure and binary mixed solvents was computed on the basis of the regressed model parameters. Tables S2 and S3 illustrate that for the pure solvents, the relative average deviations (RAD) between the calculated and experimental values are all no larger than 3.8  102, and the root-mean-square deviations (RMSD) are all smaller than 1.8510-4. For binary solvents mixture, the maximum value of relative average deviations (RAD) is 4.0102, and the root-meansquare deviations (RMSD) are all no larger than 2.8104. By comparison, the modified Apelblat equation and Jouyban-Acree model could be more suitable to correlate the result in pure and mixed solvents.

solubility in pure solvents was obtained in 1, 4-dioxane (3.648  103) at 328.15 K, and followed by methanol (1.967  103), acetone (7.885  104), ethanol (6.049  104), isopropanol (3.806  104), ethyl acetate (2.266  104), n-hexane (1.883  104), water (3.989  105). In mixtures of (1, 4-dioxane + water), it increased at first and then decreased with the increasing mass fraction of 1, 4-dioxane. Moreover, Hildebrand solubility parameter of solute is very close to the composition of
