General description

Docusate sodium salt is an emollient which can combine with the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) such as ranitidine hydrochloride and lidocaine hydrochloride to form hydrophobic ionic liquids (IL-APIs)).

Application

Docusate sodium salt can be used as a surfactant in the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles by co-precipitation method.
Forms reverse micelles in hydrocarbon solvents; Suitable for the solubilization of the major myelin transmembrane proteolipid
