Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Technology
  • Drug Delivery
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Solubilizing poorly water-soluble drugs for parenteral administration remains a significant challenge in pharmaceutical technology.
  • Existing surfactants often have limitations for unrestricted use in parenteral dosage forms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the solubilization behavior and hemolytic activity of novel surfactants: alkylpolyglycosides and dextran fatty esters.
  • To compare these novel surfactants against established ones for parenteral drug formulation.

Main Methods:

  • Determined the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of alkylpolyglycosides using fluorescent substance solubilization.
  • Assessed the solubilization capacity and hemolytic activity of alkylpolyglycosides and dextran esters.

  • Evaluated the solubilization of diazepam and compared it with Solutol HS 15.

    • Main Results:

    • Water-soluble surfactants, specifically alkylpolyglycosides (≥2 glucose units) and dextran esters (degree of substitution ≤0.1), are suitable for solubilization.
    • Alkylpolyglycosides exhibit typical monomeric surfactant CMC behavior, while dextran esters act as polymeric surfactants forming monomolecular micelles.
    • Hemolytic activity varied significantly among alkylpolyglycosides, increasing with alkyl chain length and decreasing with glycosylation; no CMC-hemolytic activity correlation was found.
    • Dextran fatty esters demonstrated low hemolytic activity compared to alkylpolyglycosides.
    • The novel surfactants showed comparable or superior solubilization of diazepam than Solutol HS 15.

    Conclusions:

    • Alkylpolyglycosides and dextran fatty esters are promising candidates for parenteral drug formulations due to their solubilization properties and low hemolytic activity.
    • These novel surfactants offer potential advantages over existing options for improving drug delivery of poorly soluble compounds.
