The following results were obtained on the dissolution of sulfadiazine in various aqueous solution. 1. On the dissolution in sucrose solution, with an increase of sucrose concentration, the saturated concentration, C
O was increased a little, and the dissolution constant, K
T, was decreased with an increase of viscosity following an increase of the concentration. The dissolution rate by practical representation, K
T×C
O, became smaller with an increase of sucrose concentration. The dissolution was in accordance with the Noyes-Nernst model, and C
O was coincident with the solubility, C
S.2. On the dissolution in sodium chloride solution, both K
T and C
O were decreased with an increase of the concentration of sodium chloride. The dissolution was in accordance with the Noyes-Nernst model.3. On the dissolution in sodium hydroxide solution, both K
T and C
O were increased with an increase of the concentration of sodium hydroxide. The dissolution was in accordance with the Nernst-Brunner model. The increase of K
T was considered to be due to the increase of diffusion coefficient of sodium hydroxide in the presence of sodium salt of sulfadiazine. 4. The dissolution in Na
2HPO
4 solution, in Mc'Ilvaine buffer solution and in hydrochloric acid solution were in accordance with the Higuchi model, and as an increase of concentration of the solution, C
O was increased by the change of hydrogen ion concentration. 5. The dissolution in urea solution did not fit to any of the model in Table I.
