What is Understanding Hydrolysis in Pharmaceutics about?
Hydrolysis is the splitting of a chemical compound by water. It commonly occurs for drugs containing esters, amides, or beta-lactam rings. Esters hydrolyze into acids and alcohols. Amides hydrolyze into acids and amines. Beta-lactam antibiotics rapidly hydrolyze via ring opening. Hydrolysis can be first or second order and is catalyzed by acids, bases, or enzymes. It reduces drug stability and activity. Protection methods include preventing moisture contact, controlling pH, reducing buffers, using insoluble
