Ethers are a class of organic compounds that contain an ether group—an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups. 111-90-0, formula is C6H14O3, Name is Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether.They have the general formula R–O–R′, where R and R′ represent the alkyl or aryl groups. Reference of 111-90-0.
Yang, Xinggang;Gao, Pan;Jiang, Zhujun;Luo, Qiao;Mu, Chengqiao;Cui, Mengsuo research published 《 Preparation and Evaluation of Self-emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDS) of Cepharanthine》, the research content is summarized as follows. The aim of this article was to design a self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of loaded cepharanthine (CEP) to improve the oral bioavailability in rats. Based on the solubility determination and pseudo-ternary phase diagram, iso-Pr palmitate (IPP) was chosen as the oil phase. Meanwhile, Cremophor RH40 and Macrogol 200 (PEG 200) were chosen as the emulsifier and co-emulsifier, resp. This prescription was further optimized by using central composite design of response surface methodol. The optimized condition was CEP:IPP:Cremophor RH40:PEG 200=3.6:30.0:55.3:11.1 in mass ratio with maximum drug loading (36.21 mg/mL) and the min. particle size (36.70 nm). The constructed CEP-SEDDS was characterized by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, in vitro release and stability studies. The dissolution level of CEP-SEDDS was nearly 100% after 30 min in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 6.8) which was higher than that of the pure CEP (approx. 20%). In addition, in vivo pharmacokinetic study in rats showed that CEP-SEDDS dramatically improved bioavailability compared with active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) (the relative bioavailability was 203.46%). In this study, CEP-SEDDS was successfully prepared to enhance the oral bioavailability which might facilitate to increase its better clin. application.
Reference of 111-90-0, Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether appears as a colorless, slightly viscous liquid with a mild pleasant odor. Flash point near 190°F. Used to make soaps, dyes, and other chemicals.
Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether is a primary alcohol that is ethanol substituted by a 2-ethoxyethoxy group at position 2. It has a role as a protic solvent. It is a diether, a primary alcohol and a hydroxypolyether. It derives from a diethylene glycol., 111-90-0.
