Water solubility

Synonyms:

  • aqueous solubility
  • H20 solubility
  • solubility in water

Water solubility refers to the ability of a substance (or solute) to dissolve in water. In DrugBank, the water solubility of a drug is described in drug entries by using qualities such as "soluble" or "insoluble" or it is described by a numerical value in mg/mL or g/L units.

It is possible to find both experimental, predicted, and actual water solubility data in DrugBank, when this information is available. These values are obtained through sources such as ALOGPS, PhysProp, and others.
