METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE SOLUBILITY OF SUBSTANTIALLY WATER-INSOLUBLE COMPOUNDS

摘要

Methods for enhancing the water-solubility of substantially water-insoluble compounds are disclosed by combining such compounds with a water-soluble polymer, e.g., polyalkylene oxide polymer or a cellulose ether, having a molecular weight of from about 50,000 to 7,000,000 grams/per gram in an amount effective to enhance the water-solubility of the compound in an acidic environment, e.g., pH less than about 5. Compositions comprising the compounds having enhanced water solubility are also disclosed.
