Thermodynamic studies of drug-alpha-cyclodextrin interactions in water at 298.15 K: promazine hydrochloride/chlorpromazine hydrochloride + alpha-cyclodextrin + H(2)O systems.
Data on osmotic coefficients have been obtained for a binary aqueous solution of two drugs, namely, promazine hydrochloride (PZ) and chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) using a vapor pressure osmometer at 298.15 K. The observed critical micelle concentration (cmc) agrees excellently with the available literature data. The measurements are extended to aqueous ternary solutions containing fixed a concentration of alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) of 0.1 mol kg(-1) and varied concentrations (approximately 0.005-0.2 mol kg(-1)) of drugs at 298.15 K. It has been found that the cmc values increase by the addition of alpha-CD. The mean molal activity coefficients of the ions and the activity coefficient of alpha-CD in binary as well as ternary solutions were obtained, which have been further used to calculate the excess Gibbs free energies and transfer Gibbs free energies. The lowering of the activity coefficients of ions and of alpha-CD is attributed to the existence of host-guest (inclusion)-type complex equilibria. It is suggested that CPZ forms 2:1 and 1:1 complexed species with alpha-CD, while PZ forms only 1:1 complexed species. The salting constant (ks) values are determined at 298.15 K for promazine-alpha-CD and chlorpromazine-alpha-CD complexes, respectively, by following the method based on the application of the McMillan-Mayer theory of virial coefficients to transfer free energy data. It is noted that the presence of chlorine in the drug molecule imparts better complexing capacity, the effect of which gets attenuated as a result of hydrophobic interaction. The results are discussed from the point of view of associative equilibria before the cmc and complexed equilibria for binary and ternary solutions, respectively.
