Ionization, lipophilicity and solubility properties of repaglinide.

Published: June 2006
Potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations were used for the determination of ionization behaviour, lipophilicity and solubility profile of repaglinide. Acid-base equilibria were characterized by means of protonation macro- and microconstants using Target Factor Analysis of spectrophotometric data. Lipophilicity profiles were evaluated by determination of partition coefficients of neutral and ionized forms of repaglinide in biphasic octanol/water system. The intrinsic solubilities of repaglinide were determined from the solubility data and temperature dependence of intrinsic solubilities were evaluated using van't Hoff equation. Repaglinide possesses two protonation sites and in aqueous solutions exhibits ampholitic properties. At isoelectric pH the zwitterionic form of the molecule predominates over the uncharged form with the tautomeric ratio, logKz=1.9. The difference between calculated and measured logP values, as well as the difference between logP values of uncharged form of repaglinide, HR0, and either one of mono-charged forms indicated the significant partition of zwitterion into octanol. Temperature dependence of solubility data revealed exothermic dissolution process with DeltasolH=-36 kJmol-1 and negative entropy of solution of DeltasolS=-0.19 kJK-1mol-1.

The present study introduces a novel formulation approach for utilizing Lyotropic Liquid Crystals (LLCs) as sustained oral delivery systems. For this purpose, we have developed a novel bottom-up fabrication process that enables the LLC beads to be formulated with precise control over their diameter by pre-determining their surface area. By directly controlling the effective diffusional interfacial surface of the LLCs, their release rate from the LLC beads can be determined.

Conformational flexibility allows macrocyclic peptides like cyclosporine A (CycA) to cross membranes, yet drug design leveraging this property has largely failed. A key challenge is linking specific conformers to function, as different conformers govern permeability versus target binding. We reveal a mechanism that enhances CycA and alisporivir (ALI) permeability: -to- isomerization at MeVal11-MeBmt1 creates conformers that remain "soluble" in both membrane-like and aqueous environments.

Utilizing amines and alkanolamines as CO-capturing agents and water-soluble ionogens in 'switchable water' systems is an intensively explored research area. However, the potential risks of such amine derivatives to the environment have been poorly evaluated. In this work, we report on the ecotoxicological effect of relevant amines and alkanolamines in an aqueous environment on various classes of organisms such as bacteria (), vascular plants (), and invertebrates ().

Salicylic acid (SA) is a natural lipophilic active ingredient commonly used in cosmetics and skin disease treatments, offering benefits such as exfoliation, anti-inflammation effects, antibacterial properties, oil control, and acne alleviation. However, its poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and potential side effects, such as allergies, irritation, and dryness, hinder its widespread application. In this study, we prepared a betaine-salicylic acid (BeSA) cocrystal and systematically characterized its crystal structure, biological activity, and clinical efficacy.
