The interaction between water insoluble drug naproxen with caffeine, nicotinamide and salicylic acid in aqueous solutions were determined by spectrophotometry. Naproxen was found to form 1:1 molecular complex with these substances. The complex formation constants were determined by spectrophotometry at room temperature. The thermodynamic functions associated with complexation of naproxen-drugs were also evaluated. It may be concluded that the complex formation may be attributed to hydrogen bonding since enthalpy changes were shown to be a few KJ.mol-1.
