“…The solubility and thermodynamic data of bioactive compounds such as vanillin in water-cosolvent mixtures are extremely useful in extraction of these bioactive compounds from their respective plant source, purification/isolation, crystallization and preformulation studies/formulation development of these compounds (Chen et al, 2014;Shakeel and Anwer, 2015;Shakeel et al, 2015bShakeel et al, , 2015c. Recently, Carbitol has been investigated as a potential cosolvent in solubility enhancement of bioactive compounds such as isatin and reserpine in literature (Shakeel et al, 2015b(Shakeel et al, , 2015c(Shakeel et al, , 2015d. Various semiempirical solubility models are used to validate experimental solubilities of bioactive compounds and to correlate these data with calculated solubilities.…”
