Popis: Indomethacin (IND), an acidic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and lidocaine (LID), a local anesthetic (LA), form a eutectic complex when mixed, with a lower melting point. The aqueous solubility of the mixture is greater than that of IND or LID alone, improving the bioavailability of IND. Therefore, IND and LID can be used to model changes in efficacy caused by physicochemical interactions between drugs. In this study, the intermolecular interactions between IND and structurally similar LAs were examined by measuring solubility and analyzing thermodynamics using differential scanning calorimetry. The results indicate that the solubility of IND (log S’ IND ) varies with LA hydrophobicity. Reductions in melting point resulting from mixing IND and LAs contributed to changes in IND solubility, attributable to direct intermolecular interactions between IND and the LAs. In addition, binding energy of IND-LA as in water was calculated, and the values were correlating with the solubility of IND in experiments. Understanding these interactions will help address some of the problems encountered in polypharmacy.
