Thermodynamics of aggregate formation between a non-ionic polymer and ionic surfactants: An isothermal titration calorimetric study.
International Journal of Pharmaceutics 2017 January 11
This report examines the energetics of aggregate formation between hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and model ionic surfactants including sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at pharmaceutically relevant concentrations using the isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) technique and a novel treatment of calorimetric data that accounts for the various species formed. The influence of molecular weight of HPMC, temperature and ionic strength of solution on the aggregate formation process was explored. The interaction between SDS and HPMC was determined to be an endothermic process and initiated at a critical aggregation concentration (CAC). The SDS-HPMC interactions were observed to be cooperative in nature and dependent on temperature and ionic strength of the solution. Molecular weight of HPMC significantly shifted the interaction parameters between HPMC and SDS such that at the highest molecular weight (HPMC K-100M;>240kDa), although the general shape of the titration curve (enthalpogram) was observed to remain similar, the critical concentration parameters (CAC, polymer saturation concentration (Csat) and critical micelle concentration (CMC)) were significantly altered and shifted to lower concentrations of SDS. Ionic strength was also observed to influence the critical concentration parameters for the SDS-HPMC aggregation and decreased to lower SDS concentrations with increasing ionic strength for both anionic and cationic surfactant-HPMC systems. From these data, other thermodynamic parameters of aggregation such as ΔHagg(°), ΔGagg(°), Hagg(°), ΔSagg(°), and ΔCp were calculated and utilized to postulate the hydrophobic nature of SDS-HPMC aggregate formation. The type of ionic surfactant head group (anionic vs. cationic i.e., dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)) was found to influence the strength of HPMC-surfactant interactions wherein a distinct CAC signifying the strength of HPMC-DTAB interactions was not observed. The interpretation of the microcalorimetric data at different temperatures and ionic strengths while varying properties of polymer and surfactant was a very effective tool in investigating the nature and energetics of HPMC and ionic surfactant interactions.
