Determination of the Effects of Surfactants and Cyclodextrins as Co-solvent on the Solubility of Poorly Water-Soluble Flavonoid Naringin
摘要
The aim of this work is to experimentally determine co-solvent effects on the solubility of a poorly water-soluble flavonoid. Naringin, a flavonoid glycoside, was studied as a model poorly water-soluble compound. Two surfactants (sodium lauryl sulfate and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80)), and three cyclodextrins (CDs: β-CD, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD, and dimethyl-β-CD) were studied as co-solvents by measuring the solubilities of naringin at 298.15 K using high-performance liquid chromatography in water/co-solvent mixtures. The stability constants of the co-solvent/solute systems were evaluated by the Higuchi–Connors solubility method. According to these results, dimethyl-β-CD had the highest co-solvent effect among the CDs. Modeling of the experimental solubility data were performed using the modified Chrastil model.
