The evaluated substance was subjected to the influence of a variety of pH, representing the main physiological values of 37°C and corresponding pH values in the stomach (pH 2.0), blood (pH 7.4) and small intestine (pH 9.0). Chemical stability in a highly alkaline medium with a pH of 13.0 was also evaluated. The hydrazone I tested was found to be stable at pH 7.4 and pH 9.0 and 37 ° C and hydrolyzed under strong acidic (pH 2.0) and highly alkaline media (pH 13.0) and at the same temperature.The products of hydrolysis were identified to be the initial hydrazide and aldehyde, pointing the hydrazone group as most liable.enArticle
