Quantitative spectrophotometric analysis of poorly water-soluble drugs involves use of various organic solvents. Major drawbacks of organic solvents include high cost, volatility and toxicity. Safety of analyzer is affected by toxicity of the solvent used. In the present investigation the use of organic solvent has been avoided, making the method environmentally friendly. Urea has demonstrated ...

Two simple, accurate and precise methods for simultaneous estimation of Esomeprazole and Itopride in bulk drug and tablet dosage form have been described. Method-A employs formation and solving of simultaneous equation using 231 and 370 nm as two analytical wavelengths. Method -B is Absorption ratio method, which uses 308 and 331 nm as two analytical wavelengths.Beer’s law was obeyed in the con...

Abstract: In this review we have elaborated about number of hypothesis postulated to understand the mechanism hydrotropic agents, although majority haven’t justified solubility enhancement mechanism. Further it articles focuses upon parameters affecting solubilizing ability. Hydrotropes are extensively used in drug solubilization, extraction agents for various phytoconstituents, separation agen...

Paclitaxel (PTX), a potent anti-cancer drug, is poorly soluble in water, and this has been a major limitation in developing patient friendly formulations for clinical applications. Recent studies on polymeric micelles, especially hydrotropic polymer micelles, have suggested an alternative formulation of PTX based on their high loading capacity and physical stability in aqueous media. The presen...

Amphiphilic hyaluronic acid conjugates were synthesized as a potential drug carrier by chemical conjugation of an amine-terminated hydrotropic oligomer, which has a unique ability to enhance the solubility of paclitaxel (PTX), to a hyaluronic acid (HA) backbone using carbodiimide chemistry. The physicochemical properties of the hydrotropic hyaluronic acid (HydroHA) conjugates were investigated ...

The purpose of this investigation was to characterize the in vitro stability and in vivo disposition of paclitaxel in rats after solubilization of paclitaxel into hydrotropic polymeric micelles. The amphiphilic block copolymers consisted of a micellar shell-forming poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block and a core-forming poly(2-(4-vinylbenzyloxy)-N,N-diethylnicotinamide) (P(VBODENA)) block. N,N-Die...

Because of their sessile nature, plants evolved several mechanisms to tolerate or avoid conditions where water is scarce. The molecular mechanisms contributing to drought tolerance have been studied extensively, whereas the molecular mechanism underlying drought avoidance is less understood despite its importance. Several lines of evidence showed that the roots sense the moisture gradient and g...

A Simple, accurate and reproducible spectrophotometric method by Hydrotrophic Solubilisation was developed for the estimation of Esomeprazole. In the present investigation, hydrotropic solution of urea (10M) was employed as a solubilising agent to solubilise the poorly water soluble drug, esomeprazole in the tablet form and determined with the help of spectrophotometric determination in ultravi...
