The enthalpy of solution of terfenadine in ethanol/water mixtures, 0-20.5 w
t.% of water was determined by calorimetry. A Sudden increase of 1-2 kJ mol
(-1) in the enthalpy at a concentration value around 0.01 mol kg(-1) is obs
erved. This step in the enthalpy is interpreted as due to solute n-mer aggr
egates formation. The solubility of terfenadine in the cosolvent systems us
ed in the calorimetric studies was determined. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.
