Solubility and Solvation Properties of Pharmaceutically Active Ionic Liquid Benzocainium Ibuprofenate in Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent Menthol-Lauric Acid.

Due to their appealing physiochemical properties, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and ionic liquids (ILs) are utilized in various research fields and industries. The presented research analyzes the thermodynamic properties of a deep eutectic solvent created from natural molecules, menthol and lauric acid in a 2:1 molar ratio, and an ionic liquid based on two active pharmaceutical ingredients, benzocainium ibuprofenate. Initially, the low solubility of benzocainium ibuprofenate in water was observed, and a hydrophobic natural deep eutectic mixture of menthol:lauric acid in a 2:1 ratio was prepared to improve benzocainium ibuprofenate solubility.

Synthesis and evolution of physicochemical properties of new pharmaceutically active ionic liquids - tetracainium salicylate and tetracainium ibuprofenate.

Tetracainium salicylate and tetracainium ibuprofenate were synthesized as active pharmaceutical ingredient ionic liquids (API-ILs). These ILs represent a combination of a drug for local anaesthesia (tetracaine) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (salicylic acid and ibuprofen). After IL synthesis, spectroscopic investigations were performed using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to confirm their structures.
