The equivalent conductivities of tetramethylammonium iodide, tetraethylammonium iodide, and tetra-n-propylammonium iodide in acetone solution were determined at concentrations from 1 to 10 × 10−4 mole/liter and at temperatures of 25 to 55 °C and pressures from atmospheric to 1.1 kbar. The concentration dependence of the equivalent conductivities was analyzed by the Shedlovsky method. Limiting equivalent conductivities and ion-pair dissociation constants are tabulated.

The ion-pair dissociation constants determined from a Shedlovsky analysis of conductivity (see Part I) were used to calculate the enthalpy, the internal energy at constant volume, the entropy, and the volume of dissociation of tetramethylammonium iodide, tetraethylammonium iodide, and tetra-n-propylammonium iodide ion pairs in acetone solution. The sign and magnitude of these parameters over the range of conditions investigated, temperature 25 to 55 °C and atmospheric to 1.1 kbar pressure, indicated that the free ions in acetone solution are extensively solvated and that, depending on the conditions, solvent-shared or solvent-separated ion pairs are formed.

Purpose: Adefovir is an antiviral drug that exhibits high hydrophilic properties and negligible bioavailability (less than 12%). It is only applied in the form of the ester prodrug adefovir dipivoxil (ADV). The oral bioavailability of ADV is limited (32% to 45%) by its low permeability (Class 3) and biological conversion of the prodrug to adefovir. Ion-pair formation is considered as an alternative approach to a covalent prodrug (ADV) to enhance intestinal permeation of adefovir. Methods: The effect of various counter-ions (anionic, cationic and two quaternary ammonium salts) on the lipophilicity of adefovir was investigated by means of the n-octanol/buffer partitioning system, an in vitro transport model (PAMPA) and a biological membrane (everted gut sac). Results: Quaternary ammonium salts, cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and cetrimide enhanced the lipophilicity of adefovir 136- and 87-fold, respectively. The apparent permeability of adefovir in combination with CPC (counter-ion) was 2.5-fold greater than ADV permeability in the PAMPA model. The apparent permeability of adefovir-CPC (counter-ion) was 1.3-fold greater than that of adefovir dipivoxil permeability in a biologic membrane (everted gut sac). Conclusion: These results suggest that the adefovir-CPC ion-paired system has potential for improving the permeation of adefovir across the intestinal membrane. This article is open to POST-PUBLICATION REVIEW.
