A new stability-indicating reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) method has been developed and validated for simultaneous assay of betamethasone dipropionate (BD) and chlorocresol and also for the estimation of BD related compounds in a pharmaceutical cream matrix. In addition, this newly developed RP-HPLC method was also demonstrated as suitable for a pharmaceutical ointment product that does not contain chlorocresol. The RP-HPLC method uses a Waters SymmetryShield RP18 analytical column (150 × 4.

SDS, a common pseudostationary phase used in MEKC, was also used for comparison. The van't Hoff relationship was applied to compute the temperature dependence of the MEKC retention factors of the test solutes to estimate the enthalpy, entropy, and the Gibbs free energy.

In order to increase solubilities at lower pHs, we have synthesized a highly water-soluble achiral surfactant and copolymerized it with an amino acid-based chiral surfactant. These two surfactants were polymerized either separately or at various molar rations of binary solutions, yielding pure molecular or copolymerized surfactant (CoPS), respectively.

These surfactants were then copolymerized at various molar ratios to produce a variety of copolymerized surfactants (CoPSs), possessing both achiral (sulfate) and chiral (leucinate) head groups. The CoPSs, poly-SUS, poly-SUL, and sodium dodecyl sulfate were characterized using several analytical techniques.

In this investigation, polymeric surfactants and ionic liquids were added to a low-conducting buffer solution. The polymeric surfactants used in this study were poly(sodium N-undecylelinic sulfate) and poly(sodium oleyl-l-leucylvalinate).
