Ensulizole Solubility and pH Stability in Formulation

คำถาม

I have questions regarding the use of Ensulizole in a formulation:

  1. When dissolving Ensulizole by adjusting the water phase pH to 6.8-7.0, if a pH meter is not available, can pH test paper (litmus) be used to check if Ensulizole has dissolved completely (no powder visible) in the water phase?
  2. After dissolving Ensulizole and completing the formulation, can the pH be adjusted down, or must it remain within the 6.8-7.0 range?

คำตอบ

Based on the staff reply:

  1. Regarding using pH test paper (litmus) to check if Ensulizole has dissolved when adjusting the water pH to 6.8-7.0:
    Yes, you can use pH test paper. While it may not provide decimal precision like a pH meter, it helps estimate the pH range. The dissolution of Ensulizole itself serves as an indicator that the pH is within the appropriate range (6.8-7.0). You should stir or mix while gradually adding acid/base to check for dissolution.

  2. Regarding adjusting the pH after dissolving Ensulizole and completing the formulation:
    No, you cannot adjust the pH outside the 6.8-7.0 range after formulation. If the pH is adjusted outside this range, Ensulizole can precipitate.
