Applicability of Tailored Ionic Liquids in Drug Delivery Systems

It is crucial for the Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industries to improve the efficacy of drug delivery systems. Nonetheless, there are several challenges to overcome in this process, such as poor drug solubility, loading or release and even the low stability of these systems, while ensuring the safety of the developed formulations. Ionic liquids may be a valuable strategy to surpass these challenges since through synthesis they may be tailored to attain the most suitable properties for the required applicability and also because they may be incorporated into various types of solutions, thus facilitating their incorporation into different formulations. Thus, in this study, several ILs will be synthesized and their applicability as functional excipients, at non-toxic concentrations, will be evaluated in different delivery systems.
