The interactions between flurbiprofen (FB) and different polymers are studied in order to improve the bioavailability of FB. FB-polymer phase diagrams [poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 4000, PEG 6000, and poly-epsilon-caprolactone] were constructed and compared with the modeling diagrams. Thermoanalytical methods (differential scanning calorimetry, thermomicroscopy) were used to construct the phase diagrams. Thermodynamic data were used to model the FB-polymer systems. The construction of the FB-polymer phase diagrams showed the existence of a stable invariant called "eutectic" characterized by (XE)exp, (TfE)exp, and (DeltaHfE)exp, the experimental eutectic composition, the experimental temperature, and the enthalpy of eutectic melting, respectively. Modeling confirmed the values for these parameters and was used to evaluate the different Flory-Huggins parameters chi for each FB-polymer mixture. chi values and the infrared spectra confirm that the interactions due to hydrogen bonds between FB and PEG 4000 are more numerous than between FB and PEG 6000 and also more numerous than between FB and poly-epsilon-caprolactone.
After studying the thermal behaviour of the reactants the authors have established the diagrams of state of binary systems of aminophenazone form (I) with phenazone and with amino-4-phenazone by thermomicroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and differential thermal analysis. Only one eutectic point is observed for each binary system, the fusion temperature and the composition of which have been determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
