the present study investigates the possibility of using poloxamers as solubility and dissolution rate enhancing agents of poorly water soluble bioactive constituent patchouli alcohol (pa) that can be used for the preparation of immediate release pellets formulation. two commercially available grades poloxamer 188 (p 188) and poloxamer 407 (p 407) were selected, and solid dispersions (sds) conta...

Improving the solubility and changing the dissolution rate of the poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) AMG 517, glipizide, and naproxen through the preparation of eutectic mixtures was investigated. Mixtures of the API’s with other small molecules were prepared to construct a phase diagram used to identify the eutectic mixture compositions. The search for a eutectic mixture ...

In this study, we are interested in the eutectic processing of chloride compounds and decided to focus on ammonium based compounds that can provide sufficient insight in the fundamental chemistry. 10 types of ammonium based chloride compounds namely ammonium chloride, methanaminium chloride, dimethylammonium chloride, trimethylammonium chloride, tetramethylammonium chloride, dodecyltrimethylamm...

The data presented in this article include the molar masses, melting temperatures, latent heats of fusion and temperature-dependent heat capacities of fifteen fatty acid phase change materials (PCMs). The data are used in conjunction with the thermodynamic models discussed in Kahwaji and White (2018) [1] to develop a computational tool that calculates the eutectic compositions and thermal prope...

Ionic liquids are molten salts that have low melting points. This review concentrates upon eutectic mixtures of quaternary ammonium salts and metal salts (usually halides). These so-called eutectic based ionic liquids can be used for the electrodeposition and dissolution of a wide range of metals and alloys. The review highlights the technological challenges involved in the application of ionic...

We report on the formation of eutectic mixtures of ibuprofen using two different polymers together with investigations on the in-vitro release of ibuprofen from drug-in-adhesive layers. Ibuprofen, literature melting point (m.p.) = 73.5-76.5°C, was tested together with Pluronic F127, literature m.p. = 54.4-60.5°C, and polyethylene glycol 1000 (PEG 1000), literature m.p. = 37-40.9°C, as second co...

Polymorphic behaviours of paracetamol and propyphenazone and interaction between these two compounds were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR)-spectroscopy. Binary mixtures containing various ratios of the compounds were prepared as physical and fused mixtures and analysed by DSC to study their thermal behavi...

High birefringence and low viscosity isothiocyanate liquid crystal single compounds, and eutectic mixtures based solely on unsaturated rigid core structures, are reported. Extraordinarily high values of figure-of-merit were observed at room temperature for the formulated nematic mixtures. Potential applications of such mixtures for laser beam steering at l51.55mm using optical phased arrays are...

Eutectic mixtures of urea and a range of quaternary ammonium salts are liquid at ambient temperatures and have interesting solvent properties.

The solubility of DNA in bio-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) consisting of mixtures of choline chloride with levulinic acid, glycerol, ethylene glycol, sorbitol and resorcinol was investigated. The macromolecule was found to be soluble and chemically and structurally stable in DESs consisting of mixtures containing glycerol and ethylene glycol. Furthermore recyclability of the DESs was demo...
