Study of nitrazepam drug interaction with alcohol: An ultrasonic and physiochemical investigation
The intermolecular interaction between the constituent components of liquid mixtures can be revealed by ultrasonic analysis. In the present study, interaction of nitrazepam drug with methyl alcohol has been studied and presented using ultrasonic tools. The investigation involves calculation of ultrasonic velocity (ν), density (ρ), viscosity (η) and the associated derived parameters. The specific acoustic impedance (Z), isentropic compressibility(β), relaxation time (τ), intermolecular free length(L<sub>f</sub>) and solvation number Sn are calculated to reveal the interaction information. The solvent-solvent and solute-solvent interaction between the nitrazepam and alcohol molecules is considered. To see the impact of nitrazepam drug with alcohol in ordinary day to day scenario, investigation is carried out at normal temperature and pressure conditions with temperature range varying from 303K to 313K range. The results indicate increased molecule association of nitrazepam drug in presence of alcohol. This study suggests the presence of synergistic depressants effect, when nitrazepam drug is used with alcohol.
