Formulation and characterization of acetate based ionic liquid in oil microemulsion as a carrier for acyclovir and methotrexate
Ionic Liquid (ILs) in oil microemulsions (IL/O MEs) have emerged as a potential carrier for transdermal drug delivery, particularly for sparingly soluble drug molecules, such as acyclovir and methotrexate. However, less attention was paid in the selection of non-toxic and biodegradable ILs. In this...

Ionic Liquid (ILs) in oil microemulsions (IL/O MEs) have emerged as a potential carrier for transdermal drug delivery, particularly for sparingly soluble drug molecules, such as acyclovir and methotrexate. However, less attention was paid in the selection of non-toxic and biodegradable ILs. In this paper, we report new IL/O MEs with ammonium acetate ILs, which can dissolve acyclovir and methotrexate significantly. Microemulsions were composed of a mixture of nonionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween-80), and sorbitan laurate (Span-20)/ILs/oil isopropyl myristate (IPM). Three ILs called 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMOAc), triethylammonium acetate (TEAOAc) and diethylammonium acetate (DEAOAc) were selected due to their non-toxic property.
