Abstract

Solubility enhancement has been achieved by facilitated hydrotropy for the dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) / benzyl alcohol / water system. Facilitated hydrotropy has been studied via three different approaches: the solubilization in water of a hydrophobic dye, the evolution of the surface tension and dynamic light scattering, all as a function of the benzyl alcohol concentration. The facilitated hydrotropy has been rationalized from the solubilization properties of the system according to the ratio between the insoluble hydrotrope (here benzyl alcohol, a preservative used in parenteral injections) and the bio-sourced co-solvant (here the dimethyl isosorbide ether, DMI, a solvent used in pharmaceutical formulation). The presence of self-associated nanostructures has been detected by dynamic light scattering (DLS). It appears that the cosolvent, DMI, has an antagonistic action: DMI increases the facilitated hydrotrope (benzyl alcohol) solubility in the aqueous solution (favoring solute solubilization) but simultaneously decreases the hydrotropic efficiency of benzyl alcohol.
