Abstract
This present investigation deals with the effect of antioxidants viz. butylated hydroxyanisole
(BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) on properties of nonionic surfactant i.e. tert–
octylphenol ethoxylated (Triton X – 100). Considering the significance of micellar solution
as carrier, we examine the transport properties by employing controlled approaches. The
positive values of apparent molar volume ( vφ ) and apparent molar adiabatic compression
( κφ ) at all temperatures and concentrations is indicative of the existence of hydrophobic
interactions. A slight linear increase in viscosity was observed up to a certain concentration
of the surfactant and thereafter, a sharp increase confirms the existence of hydrophobic
interactions at higher surfactant concentration. Further, from spectroscopic studies, the order
of shifting suggests the existence of intermolecular interaction especially, in the hydrophilic
region of surfactant. All the studies were found in support of each other with respect to
interaction which would be utilized in different cosmeceutical formulations.

1. Introduction
An antioxidant is a bioactive moiety that originally can be referred to molecules that retards
or prevent the utilization of oxygen by human tissues and known to prevent the oxidative
system as a whole. In recent years, they have been commonly employed in combination with
many drugs and bioactive compounds [1, 2]. However, when misused they may affect and
cause serious harm to human health. To overcome the arising health and microbial resistance
problems, antioxidants has emerged as potential indispensible candidates who inhibits
oxidation reaction and retards the process of oxidative degradation of pharmaceutical and
cosmetic products [3–5]. On the other hand, surfactants are extensively employed as
emulsifier and as physical stabilizing, wetting and suspending agents in many topical
pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetic products. Above the critical micelle concentration
(CMC), surfactants are well known to self associate to form thermodynamically stable and
non – covalent aggregates called micelles [6]. The micelles have structural similarity with
lipids because of their hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic surface. They mimic
biomembrane and their structure provides an interesting alternative to study the interaction of
pharmacological active agents with membrane [7]. Moreover, surfactants are well known for
their effects on the permeability characteristics of several biological membranes such as
epidermal skin layer [8] and for this reason they can enhance the skin penetration of other
compounds present in the formulation. Therefore, in recent years they have been employed to
enhance the permeation rates of several drugs/ cosmetic products [9]. Nonionic surfactants
represent an important class of amphiphiles which find extensive applications in
pharmaceutical formulations [10, 11]. The effectiveness and applicability depend on their
structural and solution properties. The presence of additives such as co–solute affects the
physicochemical properties of a surfactant and provides valuable information with regard to

structural change and interactions in the solution [12]. The mechanism by which nonionic
surfactants adsorb onto a hydrophobic surface is based on a strong hydrophobic attraction
between the solid surface and the surfactant's hydrophobic tail. In continuation of our interest
in bioactive compounds [13, 14], we studied the effect of two hydrophobic synthetic
antioxidant (as pictured below) viz. butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated
hydroxytoluene (BHT), in terms of physicochemical interaction and behavior of Triton X –
100 (tert–octylphenol ethoxylate). However, BHA is available in form of isomeric organic
compounds i.e. 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole, whereas, 2-
tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole has been undertaken in present investigation.
The purpose of the study on BHA and BHT is because of their potential application in
pharmaceutical formulations as stabilizer, preservatives, excipients and absorption enhancer
in cosmetic products [15, 16]. TX100 is a nonionic surfactant of alkyl phenol ethoxylate
category [17-22] and possesses excellent surfactant performance in detergency, emulsifying
and wetting characteristics over a fairly broad temperature range and is readily
biodegradable. TX100 has carbon branched hydrophobic chain, ~ 9 –10 units ethylene oxide
as the hydrophilic moiety, HLB ~ 13.5 and CMC ~ 0.26 mmol dm–3 [23-24]. Three short
chain alcohols were chosen i.e. methanol, ethanol and 1– propanol (1 to 3 carbon chain
length). Depending on the concentration of these alcohols, they have an anomalous high

diffusion rate through the epidermis [15] and are used as common solvents in material
science as novel disperser of alkoxides [25], therefore widely employed in cosmeceutical
formulations. These alcohols and hydroalcoholic system (100%, 70% and 30% v/v) were
chosen so as to emphasize (i) the effect of increasing length of hydrocarbon, (ii) region of
micelle formation, and (iii) the effect of aqueous rich and alcohol rich solution on the system.
The whole study was conducted on three temperatures i.e. 25, 30, and 35 °C. The choice of
temperature was based on minimum standard temperature and pressure i.e. 25 °C and
relevance to body temperature which remains near by 35 °C. A cursory survey of literature
reveals that the physicochemical properties of bioactive compounds and human consumable
products have been studied [25–30], but no work has been done so far on hydrophobic
antioxidants (BHA/BHT) with non–ionic surfactant from the point of view of their ultrasonic,
volumetric, viscometric, micellization and spectral behavior for better inhibitory action of
surfactant aided BHA, BHT or in combination to obtain synergism.
2. Material and methods
2.1. Material
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), tert–octylphenol
ethoxylate or Triton X – 100 (TX100) containing 9 units ethylene oxide as the hydrophilic
moiety (AR grade and purity > 99%) and alcohols i.e. methanol, ethanol absolute (purity ≥
99.9%) and 1–propanol, were obtained from Merck Chemicals. Freshly prepared double
distilled water by double distillation unit obtained from HARCO & Co. was used in the
study. In all the experiments, the concentration of BHA and BHT was fixed at 0.03 and 0.02

2.2. Instrument and Methods
DSA– 5000 from Anton Paar, a digital high precision instrument was employed in the study
for all the density ( ρ ) and speed of sound (u ) measurements at three different temperatures
at an interval of 5 °C (25, 30, and 35) °C. The calibration of the instrument was carried out
with de – ionized water (Millipore – Elix system); the conductivity and the pH of water was 1
– 2 × 10–7 S cm–1 and 6.8 – 7.0 respectively. The reproducibility of speed of sound and
density was ± 0.2 ms–1 and ± 2 × 10–6 gcm–3 respectively. The viscosity (η) measurements for
various alcoholic/ hydroalcoholic solutions were obtained in a calibrated jacketed ubbelohde
viscometer using calibrated stopwatch. The viscosity (η) measurements for TX100 in
presence of BHA and BHT were determined at three temperatures with an interval of 5 °C
and accounted for 100%, 70% and 30% (v/v) alcohol (methanol, ethanol and 1– propanol)
compositions with water. The approximate flow time of water was 460 seconds at 25 °C and
volume of solution through the capillary was measured. The viscometer was always placed
vertically in a water thermostat having a digital temperature controller of accuracy ± 0.05 °C.
The samples were kept imperturbable within viscometer for about 10 minutes before every
measurement just to settle time dependent effect. The precision achieved in viscosity
measurement was well within ± 0.01%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
spectra were recorded at a wave number range of 4000 – 400 cm–1 using Shimadzu Infra Red
Spectrometer, (model FTIR – 8400S). 1H–NMR spectra of the compounds were recorded
with Bruker Avance – II 400 NMR spectrometer operating at 400 MHz. The chemical shifts
are reported in parts per million (ppm).

3. Result and Discussion
3.1. Volumetric and compressibility measurements
Density ( ρ ) in addition to speed of sound (u ) were determined to gain information arising
from existing interaction via the behavior of solute space in various composite solutions
[100%, 70% and 30% v/v (methanol, ethanol and 1– propanol)]. The study was carried out
for TX100 (0.05–0.45 mmol kg–1) in presence of fixed concentration of BHA (0.03 mol kg–1)
and BHT (0.02 mol kg–1) at three different temperature at an interval of 5 °C. The density and
ultrasonic velocity data for TX100 in presence of BHA and BHT in methanol compositions
have been reported in Table 1 and Table 2, whereas the data for ethanol and 1–propanol
compositions have been provided as supplementary data (ST1–ST4). With increase in
temperature, an observable decrease was found in density values suggesting that thermal
energy is greater than the interactional energy at higher temperatures causes the destruction
of iceberg structure. The obtained data was further utilized to calculate the apparent molar
volume ( vφ ) and apparent molar adiabatic compression ( κφ ) values. These parameters were
calculated using following relation [31, 32].

the solution and sκ was determined by using relation as 21 us ρκ = [34]. In general sκ values
were found to decrease with increase in surfactant concentration whereas increases with rise
in temperature. In addition, the sκ values were found to decrease with increment of hydration
in the solutions i.e. decrease of alcohol concentration. This decrease can be attributed to the
presence of electrostatic interactions which makes the solution rather incompressible [35].
This possible decrease is also indicative of the presence of solute–solvent interactions. Also,
this kind of non – linear trend lends further confirmation of having apparently ideal systems
caused by solute – solvent interactions. A similar kind of behavior has been reported in our
earlier investigation [13]. A more insight into the nature and extent of interaction of TX100 in
presence of BHA and BHT was obtained from the behavior of vφ and κφ . The data could not
be analyzed in terms of limiting apparent molar volume, ( ovφ ) and slope ( *
vS ) values of the
Masson’s equation ( 21*CSv
ovv += φφ ), for the reason that vφ dependence on TX100
concentration is found to be non – linear which is a contrasting feature of electrolytic
solutions [36, 37]. However, to the best of level, an attempt has been made to derive
information with regard to antioxidant – surfactant interaction and region of micelle
formation. The values for vφ and κφ were found to be positive at all temperatures and
concentrations which is indicative of existence of hydrophobic interactions and data have
been reported in Tables 3–6. Errors for vφ and κφ values were calculated and found to lie in
the range of ± 0.4 × 104 m3 mol–1 and ± 0.1 m3 mol–1TPa–1 respectively. The variation in vφ
values in 30% v/v three hydro–alcoholic solutions (methanol, ethanol and 1– propanol) in
presence of BHA and BHT are represented in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, respectively.
From the plots shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, we find four relevant features in vφ trend of
TX100:

(i) the vφ values decreases significantly with increase in TX100 concentration in case of
all alcoholic compositions and in the presence of both the additives (BHA and BHT),
(ii) the effect of temperature is seen to increase the vφ values over the entire temperature
range studied,
(iii) from the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the change in trend of vφ values can be attributed to region
of micelle formation showing that the micellization region shifts with increase in length
of alcohol chain (in case of ethanol when compared to methanol) but decreases in case
of 1–propanol which is in support of earlier reports [13], and
(iv) the effect of vφ values is also reflected in κφ values, thus supporting each other.
With regard to alcohol and alcohol – water solution, evidence from of data on water/alcohol
mixtures at low concentration suggests the formation of cages of fairly regular and longer –
lived hydrogen bonds located around hydrophobic groups [38]. The vφ values were initially
found to decrease at approximation of 0.20 mmol kg –1 concentration value and thereafter a
linear trend was observed. This change is therefore attributed to the proper micellization and
absolute dominance of hydrophobic – hydrophobic interactions. In particular, the pre–
micellar region shows a sharp decrease followed by post micellar region. The results thus
signifies that region with concentration > 0.2 mmol kg–1, where vφ values are practically
independent of surfactant concentration can be attributed to micellization of TX100, but for
concentration < 2 mmol kg–1, where vφ value increases with the surfactant concentration can
be attributed to the pre – micellar effect. This peculiar behavior of vφ as a function of
surfactant concentration is well established in the volumetric properties of the surfactant
solutions [39]. In case of BHA as shown in Fig. 1, the vφ values decreases up to ~ 0.17 mmol

kg–1 in methanol – water composition, ~ 0.2 mmol kg–1 in ethanol – water composition and ~
0.16 mmol kg–1 in 1 – propanol – water composition, respectively. Considering these values
as CMC, the decrease reflects the early micellization which might be due to the additional
hydrophobicity offered by alcohol molecules [40]. In general, when surfactant is added to an
aqueous solution of any solvent having hydrophobic segments then, due to hydrophobic
effect, it will become thermodynamically favorable for the surfactant to form aggregates with
hydrophobic portion of that solvent moiety preferentially. Therefore, this additional
hydrophobicity offered by the alcohol molecule for the TX100 may be responsible for the
earlier micellization of the surfactant. It is well known that London dispersion forces are the
main attractive forces in the formation of the micelles and that the formation of micelles is
supposed to be the result of hydrophobic interaction [41]. The obtained values are in
agreement with the CMC value of TX100 in water. Whereas, in case of BHT a marginal
decrease in the values is observed. The observed anomalous behavior might be associated
with some kind of hydrophobic clustering of alcohol molecules [42].
3.2. Viscosity measurements
The present study was further extended to include viscosity (η) measurements of TX100 in
various hydroalcoholic solutions containing BHA and BHT; however the measurement was
limited to three different temperatures i.e. 25, 30 and 35 °C. The rationale of the study is
based on the proficient function of hydroalcoholic system in topical formulation to disperse
active ingredient and to control the viscosity of different formulations [43, 44]. The variation
and concentration dependence of TX100 viscosity in different composite solutions in addition
to BHA/BHT is presented in Table 7 and Table 8. It is found that the viscosities of the
surfactant solutions depend greatly on temperature. The viscosity of all the composite
solutions decreases with increment in temperature. However, different types of surfactant
Page 11 of 53

11
solutions have their own characteristics depending on their milieu. The variation in viscosity
values should be due to change in process of micellization [45]. It was observed that BHA
and BHT significantly increases the viscosity of the surfactant solution indicating that they
are sufficiently hydrophobic in nature to penetrate micelles and link via hydrogen bonds due
to hydroxyl group substitution on molecules, providing a clear indication of inducing micellar
transition. On the basis of earlier report [46], this could be explained that presence of tert–
butyl groups provides an extra hydrophobic force toward the micelle. The Fig. 3 and Fig. 4
depict the variation of viscosity with regard to the concentration of TX100 in BHA and BHT
containing water–methanol/ethanol/1–propanol (30%, v/v) composite solutions. As cohesive
forces increases with increment in additive’s concentration, all the values were found to
increase with increment in surfactant molecules. Initially, a slight linear increase was
observed up to a certain concentration (~ 0.20 mmol kg–1) thereafter a sharp increase was
noticed. Therefore, this point of variation was assumed as the region of micelle formation. In
general, this variation also suggests a solute–solvent interaction which is a measure of
cohesiveness i. e. intermolecular forces present between the molecular ions or solvent
molecules within the various solution systems.
3.3. Spectroscopic analysis (FTIR and 1H NMR)
Preliminary, FTIR was employed as a technique to reveal some kind of information regarding
intermolecular interaction between the moieties. FTIR plays a decisive role in order to attain
knowledge about the existing functional groups within the molecules [47]. The existing
structural changes are interpreted in terms of frequency or band shift. From the spectrum of
tert–octylphenol ethoxylate i.e. TX100 (Fig. 5), the phenolic vibrations were recorded at
3431.19 cm–1. The asymmetric (–CH2–) stretching vibrations were interpreted at 2950.17 and
2874.14 cm–1, respectively, but the vibrations were not easy to distinguish or correspond for

TX100 hydrophobic and hydrophilic region. In addition, broad band at 1107 cm–1 (C –O– C)
can be explained owing the C–O (ester bond) stretching vibration, whereas the broad band at
951 cm–1 is due to bending of C–H, moreover intense band at 1456 cm–1 can also be
attributed to alkyl –CH– deformation. The substantial shifting was observed in the presence
of BHA and BHT within the provided system. The shifting of the band is presented in Table
9 and spectra are given as supplementary data (SF1–6). The order of shifting suggests that the
environment is tightly packed and existence of intermolecular interaction especially in
hydrophilic region of TX100. Therefore, to gain better insight we intend our study to proton
nuclear magnetic resonance technique to interpret the intermolecular interactions in a well
defined manner.
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) is useful technique to gain more
understanding and observe the change of environment in micellization and to predict the
locus of the molecules via chemical shift caused due to significant interactions. Due to the
precision of the NMR spectrometer, a change of ~ 0.01 ppm or greater is considered a
significant change. The protons of TX100 has been pictured and presented in the Fig. 6. Fig.
7 shows the 1H NMR spectrum of TX100, TX100 in presence of BHA and BHT. In Fig. 8a,
intense resonances at ~ 0.66 pp and ~ 1.66 ppm correspond to the terminal and internal
methyl group protons (T1 and T3) of the alkyl chain of TX100 which forms hydrophobic core
region of the micellar structure. The resonance at ~ 1.28 ppm (T2) is represents the aliphatic
methylene group protons of the chain. However, moving toward the hydrophilic part (shell),
long chain protons (T4, T5 and T6) become less shielded and absorb at quite downfield i.e. ~
3.54, 3.72 and 4.03 ppm. Protons of phenyl ring protons (T7 and T8) resonated at ~ 6.81 and
7.23 ppm respectively. To gain insight on locus of BHA and BHT, different hydroalcoholic
solutions containing moieties, the samples were prepared in 30% v/v via lyophilization. The
1H NMR spectrum is presented in Fig. 8 (a, b, c). The chemical shift was observed in the

presence of BHA and BHT revealing significant intermolecular interaction. In particular, up
field movement was observed in all the samples. The T4 and T5 protons resonated with an up
field movement of ~ 0.035 ppm and ~ 0.04 ppm, respectively. The T6 and T7 showed the
movement with an average chemical shift of ~ 0.02 and ~ 0.01 ppm, whereas T8 protons were
resonated with higher up field movement as shown in Table 10. This noticeable up field
movement in phenyl ring protons points out that BHA and BHT are located nearby outer
surface and interface of the micellar structure. This might be because of hydrophobic
attraction between nonpolar –CH3– (tert– butyl group in BHA and BHT) and the micellar
interface. The merging of peaks especially, T4 and T5 was observed which is attributed to
micelle growth [48]. Moreover, negligible movement of T1, T2 and T3 protons also indicated
that BHA and BHT do not penetrate into the micellar core. Therefore, at the studied BHA and
BHT concentration it was observed that they interact with less hydrophobic region i.e. shell
region and cooperating up to interface region. A proposed model has been presented in Fig. 9.
4. Conclusion The focus of this paper was on the impact of pharmaceutical active molecules on the
transport properties of TX100. Conclusively, in this context the concentration dependence of
apparent molal volume ( vφ ) and apparent molar adiabatic compression ( κφ ) calculated from
density and speed of sound data shows evidence of critical concentration in hydroalcoholic or
pure alcoholic solutions containing BHA and BHT, which is more pronounced when the data
was plotted in the form of vφ . A clear infection in the plot is considered as the region of
micelle formation moreover positive values indicates the existence of hydrophobic
interactions and solvation effect resulting association of molecules within the environment.
Viscosity values are in support of volumetric and compressibility measurements in terms of
region of micellization. Spectroscopic analysis provided insight and understanding with

regard of existing intermolecular interaction. The lyophilization technique limited the affect
of alcohols in the spectra obtained. The intermolecular interactions and locus of BHA or BHT
was determined in terms of chemical shift caused by the presence of antioxidant molecules.
This marginal scale of shifting accounted for interactive forces of varying strength with no
significant structural destruction. These observations provide paramount information
regarding the micellar delivery in addition to hydroalcoholic system for potential use in
cosmeceutical industries. With eminence on the biological diversity of potential synthetic
antioxidants and TX100 in alcoholic/ hydroalcoholic system, further developments on this
subjected area are under progress in our ongoing project.
