The complexation of chromium by different flavonoid dyes in micellar media has been studied, in particular the reaction between chromium and quercetin. Micellar effects, the reaction pathway proposed and the application of the method to the determination of Cr(VI) and Cr(VI) + Cr(III) mixtures are discussed.

Background: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a highly versatile separation technique widely used in analytical chemistry. Traditionally, CE can be categorized as either aqueous or non-aqueous systems based on the buffer solvents employed. For decades, non-aqueous CE has been predominantly associated with the use of organic solvents, a perception deeply ingrained in the scientific community.

Physiological and artificial solubilizing agents usually enhance apparent solubility of poorly soluble drugs, and in many cases also oral drug exposure. However, exposure may decrease in cases where micellization reduces the molecularly dissolved drug fraction, overriding the solubility advantage. While this information is critical to accurately anticipate the effect of drug micellization on oral absorption, the experimental determination of molecularly dissolved drug concentrations is complex and time consuming.

Many bioactive molecules contain primary ammonium groups, generating significant interest in developing selective receptors for ammonium ions. A promising strategy involves the use of polyaromatic cavitands to achieve size and shape selectivity through their cavity. However, designing effective receptors for ammonium ions in aqueous media is challenging due to the competitive nature of water.

The oxidation kinetics of phenylalanine (Phe) by Ce(IV) have been examined in both the absence and presence of aqueous micellar media with asymmetric tails, specifically using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) surfactants. The reaction progress was monitored by observing a decrease in absorbance using UV-vis spectroscopy. Interestingly, the kinetic profile revealed a consistent increase in the observed rate constant values as the concentration of the surfactant increased.

Despite having several advantages, bicontinuously structured polymeric nanoparticles (BSPNPs) are far less explored in the field of controlled drug delivery owing to the requirement of complex precursor copolymers and the associated multistep synthetic procedures. In this work, we report the synthesis of a redox-sensitive diblock copolymer (P1), which was subsequently utilized to prepare doxorubicin (DOX) containing a pH-labile prodrug (P2). P1 and P2 spontaneously self-assembled in aqueous media above their critical aggregation concentration, forming micellar nanoparticles with rare bicontinuous morphology that promotes loading of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic cargoes in different compartments.
