Optimizing micellar drug solubilisation using surfactant designed with a hydrophobe matched to that of the drug

DOI

In our recent research at King’s we have shown that significant increases in micellar drug solubilization can be achieved by ‘matching' the hydrophobe of a drug with the hydrophobe of the surfactant. We have shown proof-of-principle by means of solubilization studies carried out for ibuprofen and indomethacin using the surfactant Triton-X-100 - which has a hydrophobe similar to ibuprofen and dissimilar to that of indomethacin. We subsequently hypothesized that sodium 4-isobutylbenzene sulfonate - which has a hydrophobe even more closely matched to that of ibuprofen - would exhibit even better drug solubilzation, and showed that this was indeed the case.SANS studies of these systems are proposed to determine the structure of the micellar aggregates of sodium 4-isobutylbenzene sulfonate (4IBS) and the structure of these micelles with incorporated ibuprofen and indomethacin.
