AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The efficiency of an ionic hydrotrope is shown to increase with the hydrophobicity of its counterion, challenging the common view that ionic hydrotropes should possess a small, densely charged counterion such as sodium or chloride.

About 40% of approved drugs and nearly 90% of drug candidates are poorly water-soluble drugs. Low solubility reduces the drugability. Effectively improving the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs is a critical issue that needs to be urgently addressed in drug development and application.

Artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria, can be chemically synthesized or extracted from L. However, the extraction method for artemisinin from biomass needs to be more sustainable while maintaining or enhancing its bioactivity. This work investigates the use of aqueous solutions of salts and ionic liquids with hydrotropic properties as alternative solvents for artemisinin extraction from L.

Some ionic liquids (ILs) were shown to display a strong ability to enhance the solubility of phenolic compounds through hydrotropy. However, evidence shows that salt ions in hydrotropic aqueous solutions may change the behavior of molecules by promoting possible interactions between the components of the system, thus causing changes in solubility. Herein, we study the impact of sodium salt anions on the hydrotropic dissolution of syringic acid using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Cmim]Cl) as a hydrotrope, with a focus on dicyanamide Na[N(CN)] and thiocyanate Na[SCN] salts.

Hypothesis: Solubilization of hydrophobic compounds in water is commonly performed by using organic solubilizers such as hydrotropes, surfactants, co-solvents, and macrocycles to form host-guest complexes. 3,3'-commo-bis[closo-1,2-dicarba-3-cobaltadodecaborane] derivatives (COSANs) are fully inorganic and non-amphiphilic ionic boron clusters with nanometric size (nano-ions) showing superchaotropic properties as they strongly bind to neutral organic molecules. Therefore, we expect COSANs to act as solubilizers of sparingly water-soluble molecules, but with a mechanism different from all other organic solubilizers known so far.
