ABSTRACT
The low water solubility of aspirin (ASPH) is well known, creating research challenges regarding both its composition and its delivery. Therefore, the development of new aspirin-based formulations that are water soluble is a research, technological, and financial issue. With the aim to improve the water solubility of ASPH, the micelle of formula SLS@ASPH (SLS = Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) was formed. The Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of SLS in the presence of ASPH was determined by ultrasonic velocity, complementary, and transient birefringence measurements. The SLS@ASPH was characterized by the melting point (m.p.), attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (FT-IR-ATR), and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) in a solid state and in a solution by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The SLS/ASPH molar ratio was determined to be 5/1 in SLS@ASPH. The inhibitory activity of SLS@ASPH towards lipoxygenase (LOX), an enzyme that takes part in the inflammation mechanism, was studied. The inhibitory activity of SLS@ASPH against LOX is 3.5-fold stronger than that of free SLS. The in vitro toxicity of the SLS@ASPH was tested on immortalized human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells.
