Sodium laureate

The solutions of amphiphilic molecules form another class of the LC family. The amphiphiles are hydrophilic/hydrophobic molecules. One end of the molecule consists of a polar hydrophilic group and the other end is formed by a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Soap forms a LC phase in solution. In Figure 6, sodium laureate is shown as an example for an amphiphile, -COO -Na+ is the polar group and soluble in water whereas the hydrocarbon paraffin group, CHj(CH2)j4 -, is hydrophobic. [Pg.167]

Most corticosteroids nasal sprays (licensed preparations) are suspensions in which croscarmellose sodium is used as viscosity enhancer. The inhalation liquids for nebulisation with the same type of active substances however only contain polysorbate and sorbitan laureate to stabilise the suspension. For atomisation in jet nebulisers, the liquid should not be too viscous, in order to prevent clogging of the nebuliser. [Pg.376]
