New method for determining the water content of water-soluble compounds
Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland School of Pharmacy have developed a new method for the accurate determination of the water content of water-soluble compounds. This plays a significant role in, e.g., drug dosage. The method utilises solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, i.e., NMR spectroscopy. In pharmaceutical research and development, it is very important to know the exact structure and water content of the compound being studied, as they affect both the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of the compound. Additionally, the water content
