Abstract
As a serious public health issue, malaria threatens the health of millions of people. Artemisinin, a gift from traditional Chinese medicine, has been used in the treatment of malaria and has shown good therapeutic efficiency. However, due to its low solubility, poor bioavailability, and short half-life time, some smart delivery strategies are still required. Herein, a multifunctional DES prepared from ibuprofen and menthol was prepared. This DES was shown to efficiently promote the solubility of artemisinin up to 400-fold. Then, it was further applied as the oil phase to construct an O/W microemulsion with the help of Tween-80 + Span-20 mixed surfactants. The prepared microemulsion displayed high efficiency in improving the permeability of artemisinin, which can be ascribed to the presence of the permeation enhancer menthol in DES and the microstructure of the O/W microemulsion. Moreover, the simultaneous permeation of artemisinin and ibuprofen further indicated the potential benefits of the presented formulation in the treatment of malaria. To sum up, the microemulsion based on multifunctional DES presented herein provided an effective method for transdermal delivery of artemisinin.

Abstract
In the last 10 years the interest in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as a new class of green solvents has considerably increased. The emergence of numerous of hydrophobic DESs has stimulated intensive research into their application in extraction technologies, including sample preparation. As the properties of such systems are highly dependent on the properties of their components (hydrogen bond donors and acceptors) and can be finely tuned, DESs can be successfully used for the extraction of both metal ions and organic substances, including biomolecules. Despite the rapidly increasing number of publications on the use of DESs as an extraction medium, including review articles, information on the extraction properties of DESs in terms of their chemical composition has not yet been summarized. This review covers available literature data on the physicochemical properties of menthol-based eutectic solvents and the results of their practical application as an extraction medium. Also, the appropriateness of using the term "DES" for all mixtures with melting points lower than the melting points of their components is discussed.

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
Studies on deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a new class of "green" solvents, are attracting increasing attention from researchers, as evidenced by the rapidly growing number of publications in the literature. One of the main advantages of DESs is that they are tailor-made solvents, and therefore, the number of potential DESs is extremely large. It is essential to have computational methods capable of predicting the physicochemical properties of DESs, which are needed in many industrial applications and research. Surface tension is one of the most important properties required in many applications. In this work, we report a relatively generalized artificial neural network (ANN) for predicting the surface tension of DESs. The database used can be considered comprehensive because it contains 1571 data points from 133 different DES mixtures in 520 compositions prepared from 18 ions and 63 hydrogen bond donors in a temperature range of 277-425 K. The ANN model uses molecular parameter inputs derived from the conductor-like screening model for real solvents (S σ-profiles). The training and testing results show that the best performing ANN architecture consisted of two hidden layers with 15 neurons each (9-15-15-1). The proposed ANN was excellent in predicting the surface tension of DESs, as R 2 values of 0.986 and 0.977 were obtained for training and testing, respectively, with an overall average absolute relative deviation of 2.20%. The proposed models represent an initiative to promote the development of robust models capable of predicting the properties of DESs based only on molecular parameters, leading to savings in investigation time and resources.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27154896.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are an important class of green solvents that have been developed as an alternative to toxic solvents. However, the large-scale industrial application of DESs requires fine-tuning their physicochemical properties. Among others, surface tension is one of such properties that have to be considered while designing novel DESs. In this work, we present the results of a detailed evaluation of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR) modeling efforts designed to predict the surface tension of DESs, following the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines. The data set used comprises a large number of structurally diverse binary DESs and the models were built systematically through rigorous validation methods, including ‘mixtures-out’- and ‘compounds-out’-based data splitting. The most predictive individual QSPR model found is shown to be statistically robust, besides providing valuable information about the structural and physicochemical features responsible for the surface tension of DESs. Furthermore, the intelligent consensus prediction strategy applied to multiple predictive models led to consensus models with similar statistical robustness to the individual QSPR model. The benefits of the present work stand out also from its reproducibility since it relies on fully specified computational procedures and on publicly available tools. Finally, our results not only guide the future design and screening of novel DESs with a desirable surface tension but also lays out strategies for efficiently setting up silico-based models for binary mixtures.

Lactic Acid-Based Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents to Extract Bioactives from Marine By-Products. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144356.

Abstract
Natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDES) were used to extract bioactive compounds from marine by-products: codfish bones, mussel meat, and tuna vitreous humor. NaDES were prepared using natural compounds, including lactic acid (Lac), fructose (Fru), and urea (Ur), and were characterized to define their physicochemical properties, including the viscosity, density, surface tension, and refractive index. FTIR and NMR analysis confirmed the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in NaDES. The extracts obtained using these NaDES were characterized to define their composition. Results demonstrated that the extract’s composition differed highly, depending not only on the DES used, but also on the structure and composition of the raw material. Proteins and lipids were mainly present in extracts obtained from mussels, while ash content was highest in the extracts obtained from codfish bones. The biocompatibility of NaDES and the soluble fractions (SF) of the raw materials in NaDES was evaluated, and it was possible to conclude that the soluble ingredients obtained from the raw materials improved the biocompatibility of NaDES.

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.

Abstract
New protocol for screening efficient and environmentally friendly solvents was proposed and experimentally verified. The guidance for solvent selection comes from computed solubility via COSMO-RS approach. Furthermore, solute-solvent affinities computed using advanced quantum chemistry level were used as a rationale for observed solvents ranking. The screening protocol pointed out that 4-formylomorpholine (4FM) is an attractive solubilizer compared to commonly used aprotic solvents such as DMSO and DMF. This was tested experimentally by measuring the solubility of the title compounds in aqueous binary mixtures in the temperature range between 298.15 K and 313.15 K. Additional measurements were also performed for aqueous binary mixtures of DMSO and DMF. It has been found that the solubility of studied aromatic amides is very high and quite similar in all three aprotic solvents. For most aqueous binary mixtures, a significant decrease in solubility with a decrease in the organic fraction is observed, indicating that all systems can be regarded as efficient solvent-anti-solvent pairs. In the case of salicylamide dissolved in aqueous-4FM binary mixtures, a strong synergistic effect has been found leading to the highest solubility for 0.6 mole fraction of 4-FM.

Influence of the Molecular Structure of Constituents and Liquid Phase Non-Ideality on the Viscosity of Deep Eutectic Solvents. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26144208.

Abstract
Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DES) have recently been used as green alternatives to conventional solvents in several applications. In addition to their tunable melting temperature, the viscosity of DES can be optimized by selecting the constituents and molar ratio. This study examined the viscosity of 14 eutectic systems formed by natural substances over a wide range of temperatures and compositions. The eutectic systems in this study were classified as ideal or non-ideal based on their solid–liquid equilibria (SLE) data found in the literature. The eutectic systems containing constituents with cyclohexyl rings were considerably more viscous than those containing linear or phenyl constituents. Moreover, the viscosity of non-ideal eutectic systems was higher than that of ideal eutectic systems because of the strong intermolecular interactions in the liquid solution. At temperatures considerably lower than the melting temperature of the pure constituents, non-ideal and ideal eutectic systems with cyclohexyl constituents exhibited considerably high viscosity, justifying the kinetic limitations in crystallization observed in these systems. Overall, understanding the correlation between the molecular structure of constituents, SLE, and the viscosity of the eutectic systems will help in designing new, low-viscosity DES.
