Abstract
In the spirit of circular economy and sustainable chemistry, the use of environmentally friendly chemical products in pharmacy has become a hot topic. In recent years, organic solvents have been the subject of a great range of restriction policies due to their harmful effects on the environment and toxicity to human health. In parallel, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as suitable greener solvents with beneficial environmental impacts and a rich palette of physicochemical advantages related to their low cost and biocompatibility. Additionally, DESs can enable remarkable solubilizing effect for several active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), thus forming therapeutic DESs (TheDESs). In this work, special attention is paid to DESs, presenting a precise definition, classification, methods of preparation, and characterization. A description of natural DESs (NaDESs), i. e., eutectic solvents present in natural sources, is also reported. Moreover, the present review article is the first one to detail the different approaches for judiciously selecting the constituents of DESs in order to minimize the number of experiments. The role of DESs in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors and their impact on the development of successful therapies are also discussed.

Abstract
In our quest for novel ingredients to be used in sugar replacement strategies, we have investigated the thermodynamics of polycarboxylic acids, such as citric acid. We have demonstrated the applicability of the Flory-Huggins (FH) theory to describe the thermodynamics of polycarboxylic acids solutions. Moreover, for citric acid we can describe the complete phase diagram with the theory. It shows that polycarboxylic acids have similar plasticizing and hygroscopic properties as sugars and polyols. Regarding mixtures of polycarboxylic acids and carbohydrates, the FH theory is able to describe a) the water activity of the mixtures, b) the solubility of ternary mixtures of acids and sugars, c) the lowering of the deliquescence point for binary mixtures of crystals, and d) the melting point depression in eutectic mixtures. Unexpectingly, our investigations show there is a strong non-zero FH interaction parameter between carboxylic acids and carbohydrates. In our prior sugar replacement strategy we have assumed zero interactions between plasticizers. Here, we will readdress this assumption. Carefull investigations of solid-liquid equilibrium of eutectic mixtures involving polycarboxylic acids and/or carbohydrates, shows nearly zero interaction in eutectic mixtures consisting only of two carbohydrates or two polycarboxylic acids. We now hold the hypothesis that there is strong non-zero interaction if the mixture contains plasticizers strongly differing in the amount of hydrogen bonding groups. This strong interaction explains why these mixtures, like polycarboxylic acids and carbohydrates, are excellent candidates as deep eutectic solvents. Furthermore, we conclude that polycarboxylic acids are useful additions to the toolbox of sugar replacers, albeit that there are some limitations to their amounts used.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a class of green and tunable solvents that can be formed by mixing constituents having very low melting entropies and enthalpies. As types of materials that meet these requirements, plastic crystalline materials (PCs) with highly symmetrical and disordered crystal structures can be envisaged as promising DES constituents. In this work, three PCs, namely, neopentyl alcohol, pivalic acid, and neopentyl glycol, were studied as DES constituents. The solid–plastic transitions and melting properties of the pure PCs were studied using differential scanning calorimetry. The solid–liquid equilibrium phase diagrams of four eutectic systems containing the three PCs, i.e., L-menthol/neopentyl alcohol, L-menthol/pivalic acid, L-menthol/neopentyl glycol, and choline chloride/neopentyl glycol, were measured. Despite showing near-ideal behavior, the four studied eutectic systems exhibited depressions at the eutectic points, relative to the melting temperatures of the pure constituents, that were similar to or even larger than those of strongly nonideal eutectic systems. These findings highlight that a DES can be formed when PCs are used as constituents, even if the eutectic system is ideal.

Abstract
![]()
Deep eutectic solvents
have quickly attracted the attention of
researchers because they better meet the requirements of green chemistry
and thus have the potential to replace conventional hazardous organic
solvents in some areas. To better understand the nature of these mixtures,
as well as expand the possibilities of their use in different industries,
a detailed examination of their physical properties, such as density,
viscosity, the nature of the interactions between their constituents,
the phase diagrams, depression of their melting point, and interpretation
of these results is necessary. In this work, the mixtures of tetrabutylammonium
bromide (TBAB) and nonanoic acid (NA) in different molar ratios are
theoretically and experimentally investigated by applying a phase
diagram constructed on the basis of differential scanning calorimetry
measurements and COSMO-RS model. Spectral properties are investigated
based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and density functional
theory. The observed eutectic point indicates the formation of a DES
in the TBAB−NA system in a 1:2 molar ratio. This is due to
the presence of hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl group from the
NA molecule and the bromine atom from the TBAB molecule. Other eutectic
mixtures are most likely the solutions of TBAB in NA, in which hydrogen
bonds predominate between acid molecules.
