Effect of amino acid addition on the micelle formation of the surface‐active ionic liquid 1‐tetradecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide in aqueous solution

Abstract

The effect of 3 amino acids on the self‐assembly properties of the surface‐active ionic liquid: 1‐tetradecyl‐3‐methyl imidazolium bromide, [C14mim][Br], was studied in neutral and basic aqueous solution. The critical micelle concentrations were determined by different techniques, and the thermodynamic parameters of micellization (ΔG0mic, ΔH0mic, and ΔS0mic) were measured by isothermal titration calorimetry. The critical micelle concentration values decrease in the presence of all the amino acids used in this study. The most substantial effect was observed in the presence of L‐tryptophan at pH 12, due to the electrostatic and π‐π interactions with the imidazolium headgroup of the surfactant. Always entropy‐driven micellization occurred. Both the enthalpy and entropy changes upon association to micelles increased when the pH was enhanced from 7 to 12. 1H NMR measurements demonstrated that among the used amino acids, L‐tryptophan interacts most strongly with the headgroup of the surfactant cation. The knowledge on the surfactant‐amino acid interactions significantly contributes to the deeper understanding of the effect of surfactants on the properties of peptides.

Interaction of metformin hydrochloride with ionic surfactants in aqueous and NaCl solution: Effect of temperatures and compositions

“…Together with counter ion binding ( β ), the values of the extent of micelle dissociation ( α ) were determined following the procedure described by other authors and us. [ 11,12 ] The values of α were estimated from the ratio S 2 / S 1 , where S 2 and S 1 are the slopes of the linear regions above and below the CMC in the κ versus (surfactant) plot. The values of β were evaluated by deducting the α values from unity, that is, β = (1 − α ).…”

“…[ 9,10 ] This unique micellar property of surfactants substantially boosts up the feebly water‐insoluble organic species by changing their microstructure: polarity, surface tension, viscosity, and so forth; surfactant micelle's solubility enhancement properties are widely employed in industrial, commercial, technological, and other applications.

“…Activation of the ectoine molecules by increase of its hydrophobically in the ectoine-surfactant complexes solution may lead to increase of antioxidant activity of ectoine. Literature data show that increase of hydrophobically of amino acids leads to increase of antioxidant properties [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Skin cells, both keratinocytes and fibroblasts, are heavily exposed to surfactants present in cosmetic preparations.…”
