Any suggestions on how to prepare Azithromycin for photocatalysis experiments? I just found out that Azithromycin is not soluble in water, but I need this compound in an aqueous solution for my experiments. I first tried using an ultrasonic bath for 20 minutes and then heating at 60°C for 1h under stirring, but no satisfactory results were achieved.
Thanks
Dear Jose,
Azithromycin is sold as a solution for infusions. You can try such variant.

Good luck!
First dissolve in ethanol and then dilute with the aqueous buffer of choice. Solubility: approximately 0.5 mg/ml in 1:1 solution of ethanol: PBS(pH 7,2).
Ref: Cayman Chemicals: Item No: 16486
Try also be with Caboxylmethl Cellulose (CMC-Na),Tween 80 or Glycerol. Good luck.
Acidify the solution with HCl. Nitrogen in the structure will protonate and the compound will become soluble.
You can use azithromycin syrup, which is sold as a solution in pharmacies. Of course, azithromycin solution will easily dissolve in water.
