Solubility Studies of Cyclosporine Using Ionic Liquids

[Image: see text] Six ionic liquids (ILs) were selected based on their chemical and physical properties to study the solubility of cyclosporine A. Of these, cyclosporine exhibited higher room temperature solubility in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C(2)mim][OAc]) than in acetone, an effective...

Sumario:[Image: see text] Six ionic liquids (ILs) were selected based on their chemical and physical properties to study the solubility of cyclosporine A. Of these, cyclosporine exhibited higher room temperature solubility in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C(2)mim][OAc]) than in acetone, an effective molecular solvent used to solubilize and purify cyclosporine. The solubility of cyclosporine in the ILs dramatically increased at higher temperatures, a critical factor that cannot be varied in a wide range with low boiling molecular solvents. The differences in solubility were explored for cyclosporine purification. Cyclosporine was purified up to ∼93% with n-butylammonium acetate ([C(4)NH(3)][OAc]) and could be further purified to 95% using an IL/organic solvent biphasic system. After purification, cyclosporine was recovered as an amorphous solid using the ILs.
