In this work, we have investigated the effect of polyoxyethylene alkyl ester nonionic surfactants on percutaneous permeation enhancement of a model drug, ketoprofen. We also investigated the mechanism involved in the enhancement using impedance and solubility measurement. Three groups of nonionic surfactants with different ethylene oxide content were studied. The permeation results showed that all surfactants enhanced the percutaneous absorption, irrespective of the molecular weight. The permeation results from PEG-45 monostearate (PEGMS45) were rather unexpected. Impedance and solubility results indicate that the mechanism involved in the enhancement of permeation by PEG-10 monooleate (PEGMO10) and PEGMS45 is rather different. The results from PEGMS45 suggest that it could be a potential candidate as a skin penetration enhancer with high molecular weight, which may poses less skin irritation and systemic side effect than the smaller surfactant molecules. Overall, this work provided some useful information on percutaneous transport enhancement and the mechanistic insights involved in skin permeation for these nonionic surfactants.

많은 유기 염소계 농약들은 환경에서 매우 지속적이며, 먹이 사슬을 통해서 중요하게 생물학적으로 농축하는 경향이 있다. 농업에 적용되는 농약은 지표수의 유출이나 지하수의 흐름을 통해서 사실상 수 계로 이동되어지기 때문에 수환경에 특히 많은 영향을 끼치게 된다. 이 논문의 연구 목적은 두 가지 다른 휴믹산에 의한 유기 염소계 농약인 lindane과 dieldrin의 수중 용해도 증가에 중금속인 납 이온이 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 또한 유기 염소계 농약이 두 가지 혼합물로 존재할 때 각각의 용해도에 서로의 상호작용에 대해서도 연구해 보고자 하였다. 휴믹산에 의한 lindane의 용해도 증가 정도는 거의 일정하였지만, 이에 비해 휴믹산에 의한 dieldrin의 수중 용해도 증가는 훨씬 증가함을 보여주었다. 또한 수중에 휴믹산과 납이 공존하면 dieldrin의 용해도는 납이 존재하지 않을 때보다 더욱 감소하였다.

Cyclosophoraose (cyclic $\beta-(1,2)-glucan$, Cys) isolated from Rhizobium meliloti, a soil microorganism, was used as a solubility enhancer for flavonoids. The complexes of the cyclic oligosaccharide with flavonoids were confirmed through $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis. Flavonoids solubilized by Cys were quantitatively analyzed through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Among the flavonoids tested, the solubility of naringenin was greatly enhanced by Cys, compared with other compounds. The solubility of naringenin was enhanced about 7.1-fold by adding 10 mM Cys, compared with a control. $^1H$ NMR spectroscopic analysis indicated that the H-6 and H-8 protons, which are located on the A ring of naringenin, were greatly shifted upfield upon the complexation with Cys. This result suggested that Cys showed a regioselective interaction with the naringenin molecule upon the complexation, resulting in the solubility enhancement of naringenin.

토양이나 지하환경에서 소수성 유기오염물질은 자연적으로 존재하는 휴믹물질과 오염된 토양을 세척하는데 사용되는 계면활성제에 의해 거동이 결정되어진다. 거대분자인 휴믹물질은 pseudomicelle을 형성하여 소수성 유기오염물질의 용해도를 증가시키고, 계면활성제 역시 CMC 이상의 농도에서 마이셀을 이루어 오염물질을 흡수하게 된다. 이 논문의 연구 목적은 소수성 유기오염물질로서 네 가지 PAHs와 p,p'-DDT를 사용하여 휴믹산과 세 가지 음이온성 계면활성제에 의한 용해도 증가를 비교해보고, 나아가서는 오염물질의 종류에 따라 어떠한 양상을 보이는지를 알아보는 것이다. 휴믹산에 의한 용해도 증가는 PAHs의 경우에서는 나프탈렌에서 퍼릴렌으로 갈수록 증가하지만 p,p'-DDT는 소수성이 가장 큼에도 불구하고 파이렌보다도 용해도 증가 정도가 낮았다. 음이온성 계면활성제의 경우, SDS 와 SDDBS에 의한 다섯 가지 소수성 유기오염물질의 용해도가 선형적으로 증가한 반면, 쌍둥이 머리(twin-head)를 가진 MADS-12에 의한 용해도 증가는 나프탈렌에서 퍼릴렌으로 갈수록 증가하였지만, p,p'-DDT의 용해도 증가 정도는 퍼릴렌 보다 약간 감소하였다.

The solubility and dissolution rate of naproxen (NPX) complexed with 2-hydroxypropyl-.betha.-cyc-lodextrin (2-HP.betha.CD) using coprecipitation, evaporation, freeze-drying and kneading method were investigated. Solubility of NPX linearly increased (correlation cefficient, 0.995) as $2-HP\betaCD$ concentraction increased, resutling in $A_l$ type phase solubility curve. Inclusion complexes prepared by four different methods were compared by different methods were compared by dfferential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The NPX showed sharp endothemic peak around $156^{\circ}C$ but inclusion complexes by evaporation, freeze-drying and kneading method showed very broad peak without distinct phase transtion temperature. In contrast, inclusion complex prepared by coprecipitation method resulted in detectable peak around $156^{\circ}C$ which is similar to NPX, suggesting incoplete formation of indusion co plex. Dissolution rate of inclusion complexes prepared by evaporation, frezz-drying and kneding except coprecipitation method was largely enhanced in the simultaed gastric and intestinal fluid when compared to NPX powder and commercial $NA-XEN^\registered$tablet. However, about 65% of NPX in gstric fluid. in case of inclusion complex prepared by coprecipitation method, formation of inclusion complex appeared to be incoplete, resulting in no marked enhancement of dissolution rate. From these findings, inclusion complexes of poorly water-soluble NPX with $2-HP\betaCD$ were useful to increase soubility and dissolution rate, resting in enhancement of bioavailability and minimization of gastrointestinal toxicity of drug upon oral administration of inclusion complex.

Solid dispersions and inclusion complex were prepared for the enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble ibuprofen(IPF) as a model drug. Polyethylene glycol 4000(PEG4000) and polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) were used for the preparation of solid dispersion. $2-Hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin(2-HP{\beta}CD)$ was also used for the preparation of inclusion complex. The solubility of IPF increased as the concentration of PEG4000, PVP and $2-HP{\beta}CD$ increased. Solubilization capacity of $2-HP{\beta}CD$ was increased about 10 times when compared to PEG 4000 and PVP. The dissolution rate of drug from solid dispersions and inclusion complex in the simulated gastric fluid was enhanced when compared to pure IPF and commercial $BR4^{\circledR}$ tablet as a result of improvement of solubility. In case of solid dispersions, dissolution rate of drug was proportional to polymer concentration in the formulation. The marked enhancement of dissolution rate of drug by inclusion complexation with $2-HP{\beta}CD$ was noted. However, dissolution rate of drug from solid dispersions and inclusion complex in the simulated intestinal fluid was not significant because IPF was readily soluble in that condition. From these findings, water-soluble polymers and cyclodextrin were useful to improve solubility and dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, easiness and reliability of preparation method, scale-up and cost of raw materials must be considered for the practical application of solid dispersion and inclusion complex in pharmaceutical industry.

To improve the solubility properties of indomethacin, a poorly water-soluble drug, some attempts were made with surfactants, such as sodium deoxycholate, sodium laurylsulfate and polysorbate-80. The enhancement effect in solubility was found to be due to the micellar solubilization and dependent on the concentration of surfactants, pH and temperature. The mechanism of interaction was suggested to be attributed to the formation of mixed micelles between the drug and solubilizers.

The extent of solubility enhancement by biosurfactant was examined at various pHs prior to the biodegradation experiments. The molar solubilization ratio (MSR) was calculated from the batch solubilization experiments and the highest MSR was detected at pH 5. The effect of the biosurfactant, rhamnolipids, on the phenanthrene mineralization in soil-water system was investigated. The strain 3Y was selected for the mineralization assay and large amounts of phenanthrene were degraded at neutral pH in soil-water system without the biosurfactant. The addition of 150 mg/L rhamnolipids showed no effect on mineralization of phenanthrene in soil-water system, and total mineralization rates after 6 weeks incubation at each pH showed no differences in presence and absence of rhamnolipids. Our result indicated that the toxic effect of rhamnolipids can disappear when soil particles exist, and also the enhanced solubility of phenanthrene does not work for mineralization enhancement in this soil-water system.

The inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins (CDs) with flavones in aqueous solution were investigated by phase solubility measurements. The effect of b -cyclodextrin (b -CD), heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl) b -cyclodextrin (DM-b -CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-b -cyclodextrin (HP-b -CD) on the aqueous solubility of three flavones, namely, chrysin, apigenin and luteolin was investigated, respectively. Solubility enhancements of all flavones obtained with three CDs followed the rank order: HP-b -CD > DM-b -CD > b -CD, and besides, CDs show higher stability constant on luteolin than that on others flavones. 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular modeling was used to help establish the model of interaction of the CDs with luteolin. NMR spectroscopic analysis suggested that A-C ring, and part of the B ring of luteolin display favorable interaction with the CDs, which was also confirmed by docking studies based on the molecular simulation. The observed augmentation of solubility of luteolin by three CDs was explained by the difference of electrostatic interaction of each complex, especially hydrogen bonding.

Surfactants have been extensively considered for decontamination of the subsurface polluted with hydrophobic organic compounds. Enhanced solubilization of naphthalene and phenanthrene in surfactant solution of SDDBS, MADS12 and DADS12 was studied for single compounds and their binary mixture. The order of increasing solubility enhancement of naphthalene and phenanthrene is SDDBS < MADS12 < DADS12. The solubility enhancement of phenanthrene is more than that of naphthalene because of the higher hydrophobicity. A synergistic effect on the solubilization of two PAHs was observed in the presence of another PAH.
