Abstract This comprehensive study investigates the thermophysical and volumetric properties of three therapeutically significant pharmaceutical hydrochlorides—memantine hydrochloride (MEM), dorzolamide hydrochloride (DRZ), and moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MFX)—in aqueous solutions across variable temperature and pressure conditions. Experimental measurements of density (ρ), speed of sound (u), and refractive index (nD) were conducted at temperatures ranging from 298.15 K to 320.15 K under atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa). From these primary measurements, derived thermophysical parameters including apparent molar volume (Vφ), limiting apparent molar volume (Vφ°), apparent molar isentropic compressibility (κφ), limiting apparent molar expansibility (Eφ°), Hepler's constant (∂²Vφ°/∂T²), molar refraction (RM), and hydration number (nh) were calculated. The results reveal dominant solute-solvent interactions characterized by hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, and dipole-induced dipole interactions. Hepler's thermodynamic relationship confirms structure-making behavior for all three hydrochlorides in aqueous media. The comparative analysis demonstrates distinct molecular interaction patterns attributable to structural differences among these pharmaceutical compounds, providing essential data for pharmaceutical formulation development and drug delivery optimization.
