Effects of some surface active ionic liquids on the aqueous solubility, thermodynamic properties and fluorescence behavior of drug diclofenac sodium (opens in new tab)

Bio-based surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) hold considerable promise for pharmaceutical applications, particularly in enhancing the aqueous solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs, such as diclofenac sodium (DFS), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent classified as BCS Class II. Three distinct (2-hydroxyethyl) amine-based surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) were synthesized. Subsequently, the interactions between DFS and these synthesized SAILs were investigated usi...
