Local anesthetic creams for the clinical treatment of conditions such as postherpetic neuralgia were prepared as an in-house formulation from the eutectic mixture of lidocaine-tetracaine (LT cream) using two eutectic mixtures of local anesthetic (EMLA) type bases. The LT formulation was compared with a lidocaine-prilocaine (LP cream) eutectic mixture formulated using the same base as EMLA. The ...

The recent advances in asymmetric organocatalysis using eutectic mixtures as a reaction medium are revised this mini-review. In addition, the first enantioselective transformations chiral solvents, which play role of green and organocatalyst, described. minireview we intend to deepen not only synthetic aspects mixtures, but also fundamental issues that seem be essential for successful developme...

Lithium garnets are promising solid electrolytes; however, they suffer from intrinsically high interfacial resistance. In this work we exploit Ga dopant instability to form Li/Ga eutectic mixtures that give very low resistance at the Li interface.

Pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR has been used to probe self-diffusion of molecular and ionic species in aqueous mixtures of choline chloride (ChCl) based deep eutectic solvents (DESs), in order to elucidate the effect of water on motion and inter-molecular interactions between the different species in the mixtures, namely the Ch(+) cation and hydrogen bond donor (HBD). The results reveal an int...

Solid-liquid equilibria of solid mixtures in compressed CO2 are very important in assessing the feasibility of gas-assisted micronization processes such as PGSS (Particles from Gas-Saturated Solution). The determination of solid-liquid transition temperatures, the eutectic temperature and the associated composition of the melt can be problematic and time-consuming. Such data are required in the...

We analyzed the physicochemical characteristics of solid dispersions of pizotifen malate and povidone (Kollidon 12) at different proportions; we used X-ray diffraction, infrared spectrometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tested the solubility of the solid dispersions in equilibrium. The results were compared with findings for physical mixtures with the same proportions. A soli...

Different deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixtures were studied as reaction media for the continuous synthesis of enantiomerically enriched products by testing different experimental set-ups. L-Proline-catalysed cross-aldol reactions were efficiently performed in continuo, with high yield (99%), anti-stereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). Moreover, using two different DES mixture...

Seven fluorinated and chlorinated terphenyl compounds intended for mid-wave infrared (MWIR) applications are synthesised and two eutectic mixtures formulated, and their physical properties evaluated. In addition to low absorption, some desirable properties for MWIR applications include wide nematic range, high birefringence, large dielectric anisotropy and low viscosity. The fluorinated terphen...

Solid-liquid equilibria for binary mixtures of {Methyl palmitate (1) + Naphthalene (2)} were measured using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Simple eutectic behaviours for this system are observed. The experimental results were correlated by means of the NRTL, Wilson, UNIQUAC and ideal models. The root-mean-square deviations of the solubility temperatures for all measured data vary from...
