Influence of Electrolyte and Temperature on the Aggregation Behaviour of Mixed System Consisting Drug and Anionic Surfactant

Abstract

Abstract At present work, the interaction of amphiphilic drug promazine hydrochloride (PMZ) with anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and imipramine hydrochloride (IMH) with anionic surfactant dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT) in the absence and presence of 50 mmol.kg−1 inorganic salt is investigated in aqueous medium at different temperatures. For this, conductometric measurements were carried out to evaluate the critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of drug and surfactant. Ideal critical micelle concentration (CMC id) and interaction parameter (β) has also been evaluated. The deviations obtained in values of CMC and CMC id indicate the interaction between drug and surfactant. Other micellar mole fraction parameters such as X1 Rub (Rubingh), X1 Mot (Motomura), X1 Rd (Rodenas) and X1 ideal (ideal mole fraction) are also evaluated based on different proposed models. Other thermodynamic parameters of micellization such as, standard free energy of micellization ( Δ G m ∘ ) , standard enthalpy of micellization ( Δ H m ∘ ) , and standard entropy of micellization ( Δ S m ∘ ) are also evaluated based upon the equations already present in literature to understand the interactions prevailing in the studied systems.
