Choline-Amino Acid Ionic Liquids as Green Functional Excipients to Enhance Drug Solubility.

ABSTRACT: The development of effective forms to incorporate poorly soluble drugs into delivery systems remains a problem. Thus, it is important to find alternatives such as finding excipients that increase drug solubility. Ionic liquids (ILs), particularly choline-based ILs, have been studied as solubility enhancers in drug delivery systems. Nonetheless, to acknowledge this property as a functionality, it needs to be proven at non-toxic concentrations. Hence, herein two choline-amino acid ILs were studied as functional excipients by evaluating their influence on the solubility of the poorly water-soluble ferulic acid and rutin, while considering their safety. The solubility of the drugs was always higher in the presence of the ILs than in water. Ionic liquids did not affect the radical scavenging activity of the drugs or the cell viability. Moreover, stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions were prepared containing each drug and the ILs, allowing a significantly higher drug loading. Globally, our results suggest that choline-based ILs may act as green functional excipients, since at non-toxic concentrations they considerably improve drug solubility/loading, without influencing the antioxidant activity of the drugs, the cell viability, or the stability of the formulations.

Ionic liquids as effective additives to enhance the solubility and permeation for puerarin and ferulic acid.

Project description:Ionic liquids, especially the cholinium-amino acid-based ionic liquids (CHAAILs), have recently been found to be effective ingredients in formulation of transdermal drug delivery system. In this work, we synthesized six CHAAILs, and investigated their ability to enhance the solubility and permeation of two active pharmaceutic ingredients (APIs), i.e. ferulic acid and puerarin. The solubility measurements showed that a low amount of CHAAILs can significantly increase the solubility of APIs. Moreover, the effective enhancement of permeation of APIs across a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was achieved at low concentration (4 mg ml-1) of CHAAILs. It is more worthwhile that the presence of CHAAIL brings much less cytotoxicity as compared to traditional types of ionic liquids. Therefore, CHAAILs can be considered as great potential candidates of green and effective additives in transdermal drug delivery systems.

The Proton Dissociation of Bio-Protic Ionic Liquids: [AAE]X Amino Acid Ionic Liquids.

Project description:[AAE]X composed of amino acid ester cations is a sort of typically "bio-based" protic ionic liquids (PILs). They possess potential Brønsted acidity due to the active hydrogens on their cations. The Brønsted acidity of [AAE]X PILs in green solvents (water and ethanol) at room temperature was systematically studied. Various frameworks of amino acid ester cations and four anions were investigated in this work from the viewpoint of structure-property relationship. Four different ways were used to study the acidity. Acid dissociation constants (pKa) of [AAE]X determined by the OIM (overlapping indicator method) were from 7.10 to 7.73 in water and from 8.54 to 9.05 in ethanol. The pKa values determined by the PTM (potential titration method) were from 7.12 to 7.82 in water. Their Hammett acidity function (H0) values (0.05 mol·L-1) were about 4.6 in water. In addition, the pKa values obtained by the DFT (proton-transfer reactions) were from 7.11 to 7.83 in water and from 8.54 to 9.34 in ethanol, respectively. The data revealed that the cationic structures of [AAE]X had little effect and the anions had no effect on the acidity of [AAE]X. At the same time, the OIM, PTM, Hammett method and DFT method were reliable for determining the acidic strength of [AAE]X in this study.

Novel Synthesis of Choline-Based Amino Acid Ionic Liquids and Their Applications for Separating Asphalt from Carbonate Rocks.

Project description:In this study, a series of choline-based amino acid ionic liquids have been synthesized in an economic method and are used to assist solvents with extracting asphalt from carbonate rocks. All of the ionic liquids perform well in extracting asphalt, especially choline histidine, by which the single-step recovery of asphalt is up to 91%. Furthermore, oil product with higher quality (fewer solids entrained) is also obtained. Molecular dynamics simulation and thermodynamic equilibrium method are applied to investigate the role of amino acid ionic liquids via interaction energy calculation and surface free energy calculations. The simulation results suggest that the ionic liquid phase is beneficial for the transfer of oil fraction from the carbonate surface to the organic solvent phase. Moreover, the results of simulated calculation show that the introduction of a functional group with conjugated structures into ionic liquid, such as an imidazole ring and a benzene ring, is beneficial for enhancing oil recovery, which are in accordance with the results of experimental tests.

Solubility Studies of Cyclosporine Using Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Six ionic liquids (ILs) were selected based on their chemical and physical properties to study the solubility of cyclosporine A. Of these, cyclosporine exhibited higher room temperature solubility in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim][OAc]) than in acetone, an effective molecular solvent used to solubilize and purify cyclosporine. The solubility of cyclosporine in the ILs dramatically increased at higher temperatures, a critical factor that cannot be varied in a wide range with low boiling molecular solvents. The differences in solubility were explored for cyclosporine purification. Cyclosporine was purified up to ∼93% with n-butylammonium acetate ([C4NH3][OAc]) and could be further purified to 95% using an IL/organic solvent biphasic system. After purification, cyclosporine was recovered as an amorphous solid using the ILs.

Critical Assessment of the Interaction between DNA and Choline Amino Acid Ionic Liquids: Evidences of Multimodal Binding and Stability Enhancement.

Project description:Long-term storage and stability of DNA is of paramount importance in biomedical applications. Ever since the emergence of ionic liquids (ILs) as alternate green solvents to aqueous and organic solvents, their exploration for the extraction and application of DNA need conscientious understanding of the binding characteristics and molecular interactions between IL and DNA. Choline amino acid ILs (CAAILs) in this regard seem to be promising due to their non-cytotoxic, completely biobased and environment-friendly nature. To unravel the key factors for the strength and binding mechanism of CAAILs with DNA, various spectroscopic techniques, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations were employed in this work. UV-Vis spectra indicate multimodal binding of CAAILs with DNA, whereas dye displacement studies through fluorescence emission confirm the intrusion of IL molecules into the minor groove of DNA. Circular dichorism spectra show that DNA retains its native B-conformation in CAAILs. Both isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking studies provide an estimate of the binding affinity of DNA with CAAILs ? 4 kcal/mol. The heterogeneity in binding modes of CAAIL-DNA system with evolution of time was established by molecular dynamics simulations. Choline cation while approaching DNA first binds at surface through electrostatic interactions, whereas a stronger binding at minor groove occurs via van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions irrespective of anions considered in this study. We hope this result can encourage and guide the researchers in designing new bio-ILs for biomolecular studies in future.

Solubility and solvation of monosaccharides in ionic liquids.

Project description:Herein, solubility experimental data for six monosaccharides, viz.d-(+)-glucose, d-(+)-mannose, d-(-)-fructose, d-(+)-galactose, d-(+)-xylose and l-(+)-arabinose, in four ionic liquids (ILs), at temperatures ranging from 288.2 to 348.2 K, were obtained aimed at gathering a better understanding of their solvation ability and molecular-level mechanisms which rule the dissolution process. To ascertain the chemical features that enhance the solubility of monosaccharides, ILs composed of dialkylimidazolium or tetraalkylphosphonium cations combined with the dicyanamide, dimethylphosphate or chloride anions were investigated. It was found that the ranking of the solubility of monosaccharides depends on the IL; yet, d-(+)-xylose is always the most soluble while d-(-)-fructose is the least soluble monosaccharide. The results obtained show that both the IL cation and the anion play a major role in the solubility of monosaccharides. Finally, from the determination of the respective thermodynamic properties of solution, it was found that enthalpic contributions are dominant in the solubilization process. However, the observed differences in the solubilities of monosaccharides in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide are ruled by a change in the entropy of solution.

Preparation and Hydrophilicity/Lipophilicity of Solubility-Switchable Ionic Liquids.

Project description:Various solubility-switchable ionic liquids were prepared. Their syntheses were readily achieved in a few steps from glyceraldehyde dimethylacetal or its derivatives. Pyridinium, imidazolium, and phosphonium derivatives also exhibited solubility-switchable properties; acetal-type ionic liquids were soluble in organic solvents, while diol-type ones exhibited a preference for being dissolved in the aqueous phase. The solubility of the ionic liquids prepared in this study also depended on the number of carbon atoms in the cationic parts of the ionic liquids. Interconversion between the diol-type and the acetal-type ionic liquids was readily achieved under the standard conditions for diol acetalization and acetal hydrolysis. One of the prepared ionic liquids was also examined as a solvent for an organic reaction.

Effect of choline carboxylate ionic liquids on biological membranes.

Project description:Choline carboxylates, ChCm, with m=2-10 and choline oleate are known as biocompatible substances, yet their influence on biological membranes is not well-known, and the effect on human skin has not previously been investigated. The short chain choline carboxylates ChCm with m=2, 4, 6 act as hydrotropes, solubilizing hydrophobic compounds in aqueous solution, while the longer chain choline carboxylates ChCm with m=8, 10 and oleate are able to form micelles. In the present study, the cytotoxicity of choline carboxylates was tested using HeLa and SK-MEL-28 cells. The influence of these substances on liposomes prepared from dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) was also evaluated to provide insights on membrane interactions. It was observed that the choline carboxylates with a chain length of m>8 distinctly influence the bilayer, while the shorter ones had minimal interaction with the liposomes.

CO<sub>2</sub>/CH<sub>4</sub> Separation in Amino Acid Ionic Liquids, Polymerized Ionic Liquids, and Mixed Matrix Membranes.

Project description:The ability to efficiently separate CO2 from other light gases using membrane technology has received a great deal of attention due to its importance in applications such as improving the efficiency of natural gas and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A wide range of materials has been employed for the fabrication of membranes. This paper highlights the work carried out to develop novel advanced membranes with improved separation performance. We integrated a polymerizable and amino acid ionic liquid (AAIL) with zeolite to fabricate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). The MMMs were prepared with (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride [VBTMA][Cl] and (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium glycine [VBTMA][Gly] as the polymeric support with 5 wt% zeolite particles, and varying concentrations of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium glycine, [BMIM][Gly] (5-20 wt%) blended together. The membranes were fabricated through photopolymerization. The extent of polymerization was confirmed using FTIR. FESEM confirmed the membranes formed are dense in structure. The thermal properties of the membranes were measured using TGA and DSC. CO2 and CH4 permeation was studied at room temperature and with a feed side pressure of 2 bar. [VBTMA][Gly]-based membranes recorded higher CO2 permeability and CO2/CH4 selectivity compared to [VBTMA][Cl]-based membranes due to the facilitated transport of CO2. The best performing membrane Gly-Gly-20 recorded permeance of 4.17 GPU and ideal selectivity of 5.49.

Project description:Ionic liquids based on different l-amino acids (glycine, l-valine, l-leucine, l-isoleucine, l-histidine, l-methionine, l-tyrosine, l-tryptophan, l-arginine, and l-threonine) and different cations (tetrabutylammonium (TBA), tributylmethylammonium (tBMA), didecyldimethylammonium (DDA), (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium (choline) (Chol), alkyl(C12-C14) dimethylbenzylammonium (benzalkonium) (BA), dodecyltrimethylammonium (DDTMA), hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA), octadecyltrimethylammonium (ODTMA) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMIM)) have been synthesized and characterized by NMR and FTIR. Viscosity, specific rotation, surface activity, thermal stability (TG), and phase transformations (DSC) have been determined and compared with available data. Furthermore, benzalkonium, didecyldimethylammonium, dodecyltrimethylammonium, hexadecyltrimethylammonium, and octadecyltrimethylammonium amino acid ionic liquids have been shown to exhibit surface activity. The dissolution of cellulose in amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) composed of various cations was also investigated. Cellulose was only dissolved in EMIM salts of amino acids. In particular, the influence of the cation type on selected physicochemical and spectroscopic properties were discussed. The article is a mini review on amino acid ionic liquids.
