Formulation and physicochemical characterization of microemulsion system using isopropyl myristate, medium-chain glyceride, polysorbate 80 and water.

The phase behavior of the system isopropyl myristate/medium-chain glyceride/polysorbate 80/water forming both w/o and o/w microemulsions has been studied to develop microemulsion comprising of pharmaceutical excipients. The pseudo-ternary phase diagrams with large monophasic zones and gel formation were realized and several compositions were identified in the phase diagram for rheological, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and calorimetric measurements. The identified systems at different temperatures behaved as Newtonian fluid and the activation parameters for their viscous flow were evaluated. From DLS measurements, hydrodynamic diameter, polydispersity and diffusion coefficient of the microheterogeneous dispersions were determined. The free energy, enthalpy and entropy of solution of the w/o and o/w microemulsions were determined from calorimetric measurements.

Phase distribution of hexachlorobenzene in a suspended-growth culture amended with a polysorbate surfactant.

The effect of a non-ionic surfactant on the phase distribution of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in a suspended-growth culture system was assessed. Tween 60, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan stearate ester surfactant, and an azide-inactivated, mixed, methanogenic, HCB-dechlorinating culture were used in this work. The sorption of HCB on the biomass as well as sorption and aggregation/precipitation of Tween 60 were experimentally quantified. The values of the HCB and Tween 60 distribution parameters were determined and the phase distribution of HCB in the presence of surfactant and biomass was described quantitatively. Both the HCB and surfactant distribution are highly dependent on the total amount of surfactant present in the system. At low initial surfactant concentrations, most of the HCB is associated with the biomass. As the surfactant concentration increases, the effect of surfactant sorption and precipitation diminishes and the higher pool of surfactant micelles shifts the distribution of HCB from the solid phase to the solution phase. The HCB phase distribution in the presence of the surfactant may have a significant effect on HCB bioavailability for reductive dechlorination. The quantitative description of the HCB phase distribution presented here was subsequently used as the basis for the development of a model that describes the bioavailability and reductive dechlorination of HCB in a surfactant/biomass system.

Plasma secretin, plasma cholecystokinin, pancreaticobiliary secretion, and fat absorption: effect of duodenal osmolality and polysorbate 80.

In 20 normal persons we investigated the effects of duodenal osmolality on the release of secretin and cholecystokinin (CCK), pancreaticobiliary secretion, and fat absorption after intestinal infusion of emulsified oleic acid (pH 6.0). The release of CCK was found to be unaffected by the changes in osmolality, whereas the plasma levels of secretin were affected in parallel with volume and bicarbonate secretion. An inverse relation was found between fatty acid absorption and release of secretin and bicarbonate secretion but not between fatty acid absorption and release of CCK. It is suggested that the secretin and CCK cells respond differently to emulsified oleic acid.
