The crystalline, stable methanesulfonate salt of nefazodone showed significantly higher intrinsic dissolution in water and THAM buffer (pH 7.5) compared to other salts of nefazodone. The faster dissolution rate of this salt at neutral pH suggests better dissolution and absorption in the intestine, allowing controlled release of nefazodone for oral formulations.
