title: Dissolution kinetics of a three-component solid I: ethylparaben, phenacetin, and salicylamide.
abstract: The dissolution rates of each component in compressed spheres consisting of three components were measured under sink conditions. A film diffusion model is discussed and presented diagrammatically to illustrate the 13 possible dissolution behaviors of a three-component solid. Experimental dissolution rates compare favorably to dissolution rates calculated according to the model at mass fractions representative of the 13 dissolution behaviors.
