SOLUBILIZATION OF CARBAMAZEPINE USING HYDROTROPIC AGENTS

Hydrotropic solubilization of poorly water-soluble drugs.

The solubilizing ability of two aromatic hydrotropes, N,N-diethylnicotinamide (DENA) and N,N-dimethylbenzamide (DMBA), was investigated using a set of 13 poorly soluble, structurally diverse drugs. The number of aromatic rings in the solute molecule has a very strong effect on the solubility enhancement produced by either hydrotrope. However, although solubility enhancements in the order of 100...

Hydrotropic dendrimers of generations 4 and 5: synthesis, characterization, and hydrotropic solubilization of paclitaxel.

Polyglycerol dendrimers (PGDs) with 4-5 generations were synthesized and used to investigate the effect of dendritic architecture and its generation on aqueous solubilization of paclitaxel (PTX), a poorly water-soluble drug. Chemical and physical properties of the PGDs were characterized by NMR, MALDI-TOF mass, GPC, viscosity, and dynamic light scattering measurements. The PTX solubility in all...

Hydrotropic Solubilization of Lipophilic Drugs for Oral Delivery: The Effects of Urea and Nicotinamide on Carbamazepine Solubility–Permeability Interplay

Hydrotropy refers to increasing the water solubility of otherwise poorly soluble compound by the presence of small organic molecules. While it can certainly increase the apparent solubility of a lipophilic drug, the effect of hydrotropy on the drugs' permeation through the intestinal membrane has not been studied. The purpose of this work was to investigate the solubility-permeability interplay...

Hydrotropic Solubilization by Urea Derivatives: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study.

Hydrotropy is a phenomenon where the presence of a large quantity of one solute enhances the solubility of another solute. The mechanism of this phenomenon remains a topic of debate. This study employed molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the hydrotropic mechanism of a series of urea derivatives, that is, urea (UR), methylurea (MU), ethylurea (EU), and butylurea (BU). A poorly water-so...
