Question

Ansaid and Motrin belong to a the group of drugs known as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Both are only slightly soluble in water, but one is a little more soluble than the other. Which of the drugs has the greater solubility in water

Answer 1

Of the two drugs, Ansaid has the highest water solubility (8 mg/L)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ansaid is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its mechanism of action has not been demonstrated. Inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins. Its solubility in water is 8 mg/L.

Motrin is also a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its function is to stop the production of substances that cause pain, fever and inflammation. Motrin is almost insoluble in water, it dissolves less than 1 mg in 1 ml of water (1 mg/mL).
