Selective micellar electrokinetic chromatographic method for simultaneous determination of some pharmaceutical binary mixtures containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

A simple and selective micellar electrokinetic chromatographic （MEKC） method has been developed for the analysis of five pharmaceutical binary mixtures containing three non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs （NSAIDs）. The investigated mixtures were Ibuprofen （IP）-Paracetamol （PC）, Ibuprofen （IP）-Chlorzoxazone （CZ）, Ibuprofen （IP）Methocarbamol （MC）, Ketoprofen （KP） Chlorzoxazone （CZ） and Diclofenac sodium （DS）-Lidocaine hydrochloride （LC）. The separation was run for all mixtures using borate buffer （20 mM, pH 9） containing 15% （v/v） methanol and 100 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate （SDS） at 15 kV and the components were detected at 214 nm. Different factors affecting the electrophoretic mobility of the seven investigated drugs were studied and optimized. The method was validated according to international conference of harmonization （ICH） guidelines and United States pharmacopoeia （USP）. The method was applied to the analysis of five pharmaceutical binary mixtures in their dosage forms. The results were compared with other reported high performance liquid chromatographic methods and no significant differences were observed.

Pseudo Peak Phenomena in Micellar Electrokinetic Capillary Chromatography by Using Ionic Surfactant

The origin of pseudo peak was studied by means of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography with cetyltrimethylaminium bromide as the pseudo stationary phase. It has been pointed that two peaks may appear for one component under certain conditions. Experiments showed that the relative areas of the two peaks of analyte depended on the time and the temperature of reaction between analyte and surfactant, and the concentration of surfactant in the sample solution. It means that the interaction between the analyte and the surfactant is a slow process, and a stable substance can be produced from the interaction. It is the substance and the analyte that may lead to the formation of two peaks. The fast interaction mechanism between the solute and the micellar should be queried from the experiment result.

New insights into the mechanism of surfactant enhanced oil recovery:Micellar solubilization and in-situ emulsification

Reducing the oil-water interfacial tension(IFT)to ultra-low is believed the primary mechanism for surfactant-based enhanced oil recovery(EOR)process.However,field trials have shown that low concentration surfactant flooding can also improve oil recovery without ultra-low IFT.To clarify the mechanism behind,the currently-used surfactant,naphthenic arylsulfonate(NAS),was used to unravel its function during surfactant flooding from the horizon of micron-and nano-scale.The solubilization capacity of NAS micelle to petroleum fractions was evaluated through light absorbance strategy,smallangle neutron scattering,dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy.It was found that micellar solubilization plays a significant role during the surfactant flooding.In-situ emulsification was visualized in microfluidics with three types of microchips,respectively.A series of displacement tests were carried out with NAS solution pumping into oil-saturated chip.The results show that in-situ emulsification improve oil recovery mainly through blocking and entrainment effects.Results from this work aid in understanding the interaction between surfactant solution and petroleum fractions at low surfactant concentration,which is helpful for design surfactant-based displacing system for EOR process.

Effect of acidity of drugs on the prediction of human oral absorption by biopartitioning micellar chromatography

Biopartitioning micellar chromatography(BMC)is a potentially high throughput and low cost alternative for in vitro prediction of drug absorption,which can mimic the drug partitioning process in biological systems.In this paper,a data set of 56 compounds representing acidic,basic,neutral and amphoteric drugs from various structure classes with human oral absorption(HOA)data available were employed to show the effect of acidity of drugs in oral absorption prediction.HOA was reciprocally correlated to the negative value of the capacity factor(kBMC)determined by BMC at pH 7.4 and 6.5.The relationships between kBMC and the corresponding HOA values of all compounds were rather poor,but the correlations were improved when the acidity of drugs was taken into consideration.Moreover,the proposed models allowed obtaining of good predictive values for both highly and poorly absorbed compounds.It is demonstrated that the constructed models derived from compounds with the same kind of charge property are of more practically meaningful and rigorous.

Removal of cadmium ions from aqueous solution via micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration

To separate cadmium ions from aqueous solution efficiently, micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration(MEUF) of hollow ultrafiltration membrane was used, with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) and sodium dodecyl (sulfate) (SDS) as surfactants. The important parameters affecting the rejection of cadmium, the permeate flux and the secondary resistance were investigated, including surfactant species, surfactant concentration, operating time, trans-membrane pressure, the addition of electrolyte and solution pH. The results show that the rejection rate of cadmium reaches 97.8%. Trans-membrane pressure and the addition of electrolyte (NaCl) are less influential while surfactant species, surfactant concentration and pH value are important for micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration. The optimum concentration of surfactant is the critical micelle concentration, and SDBS is better than SDS. (Micellar-)(enhanced) ultrafiltration with SDBS can separate cadmium ions from aqueous solution efficiently.
