The solubility of drugs in water is investigated in a series of papers. In this work, we address the process of bringing a drug molecule from the vapor into a pure drug amorphous phase. This step enables us to actually calculate the solubility of amorphous drugs in water. In our general approach, we, on one hand, perform rigorous free energy simulations using a combination of the free energy perturbation and thermodynamic integration methods. On the other hand, we develop an approximate theory containing parameters that are easily accessible from conventional Monte Carlo simulations, thereby reducing the computation time significantly. In the theory for solvation, we assume that Delta G(center dot) = Delta G(cav) + E-LJ + E-C/2, where the free energy of cavity formation, Delta G(cav), in pure drug systems is obtained using a theory for hard-oblate spheroids, and E-LJ and E-C are the Lennard-Jones and Coulomb interaction energies between the chosen molecule and the others in the fluid. The theoretical predictions for the free energy of solvation in pure amorphous matter are in good agreement with free energy simulation data for 46 different drug molecules. These results together with our previous studies support our theoretical approach. By using our previous data for the free energy of hydration, we compute the total free energy change of bringing a molecule from the amorphous phase into water. We obtain good agreement between the theory and simulations. It should be noted that to obtain accurate results for the total process, high precision data are needed for the individual subprocesses. Finally, for eight different substances, we compare the experimental amorphous and crystalline solubility in water with the results obtained by the proposed theory with reasonable success.
