Solubility of API or its salt plays a major role for final dosage forms like parenteral or oral formulations. Solubility is one of the important parameters to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for achieving required pharmacological response. Any drug to be absorbed must be present in the form of an aqueous solution at the site of absorption. For orally administered drugs solubility is the most important one rate limiting parameter to achieve their desired concentration in systemic circulation for pharmacological response. It is therefore advantageous to develop Omecamtiv mecarbil salts having improved solubility, purity or stability.
