The dissolution of commercial aspirin

Abstract
Two samples of commercial aspirin showing a difference in intrinsic dissolution rate have been studied. Crystallographic examination and solubility determinations failed to reveal any difference between them. The effects of agitation and temperature on intrinsic dissolution rates showed that the samples had different thermodynamic activities and, depending on the conditions, the metastable form was capable of rapid reversion to a more stable form.
