Previously, THEDESs of risperidone, fentanyl and levofloxacin with capric acid (CA) were developed by our group. These APIs share cyclic tertiary amine nuclei.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFatty acids, including medium-chain saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, are known for their broad health benefits, including antimicrobial activity. Through their green properties, deep eutectic systems have been heralded as having the potential to be at the forefront of pharmaceutical applications. In this work, capric acid and geranic acid, two examples of medium-chain saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, were employed to enhance the pharmaceutical properties and the antibacterial activity of levofloxacin.
