PRIORITY

This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application Serial Number 61/141,168 filed on December 29, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

Disclosed herein are ionic liquid compositions comprising active pharmaceutical, biological, and nutritional compounds, and methods of use. Further disclosed are compositions of matter including liquid ion pairs alone or in solution and their use; compositions of ionic liquids that are 'solvated,' for example, 'hydrated' and their uses.

BACKGROUND

Polymorphism is the ability of a substance to exist in two or more crystalline forms that have a different arrangement and/or conformation of molecules in a crystalline lattice (see e.g., Chawla and Bansal, CRIPS 2004, 5(1):9-12; Bernstein, "Polymorphism in Molecular Crystals," IUCR Monographs on Crystallography 14, Oxford Science

Publications, 2002, pp. 1-28, 240-256). It has been estimated that a large number of pharmaceuticals exhibit polymorphism. For example, 70% of barbiturates, 60% of sulfonamides, and 23% of steroids are believed to exist in different polymorphic forms or "polymorphs" (Haleblian et al, JPharm Sd 1975, 64:1269-1288). In some cases, when crystals of a compound are forming (e.g., crystallizing from a solution), solvent molecules may become entrapped or bound within the crystal lattice. The presence of the entrapped solvent molecules may affect the three-dimensional crystal lattice that eventually crystallizes. The occurrence of a compound (target molecule) crystallizing in different three-dimensional lattices based upon the presence of solvent molecules has been termed "pseudo-polymorphism." Akin to polymorphs, such "pseudo-polymorphs," also known as "solvates" (or "hydrates" when the solvent is water), are crystalline solids containing either stoichiometric (i.e., whole number ratios of target molecules to solvent molecules) or non-stoichiometric (i.e., non-whole number ratios of target molecules to solvent molecules) amounts of a solvent incorporated within the crystal structure. In general, different crystalline forms of molecules (e.g., pharmaceutical compounds) can exist in the same or different hydrated or solvated states.

The existence of various polymorphs or pseudo-polymorphs can greatly affect a Pharmaceutical's performance since each form can have different physical and chemical properties. For example, one particular polymorph pseudo-polymorph may be more bioavailable, more stable (e.g., longer shelf life), or more easily formulated or tableted than another polymorph. Similarly, one polymorph pseudo-polymorph may be more active or less toxic than another. Some specific examples of the dramatic difference that can exist between various pharmaceutical polymorphs are described in, e.g., Brittain et ah, J Pharm Sd 2002, 91:1573-1580 and Morissette et al, Proc Natl Acad Sd USA 2003, 100:2180-2184.

The effects of polymorphism and pseudo-polymorphism on quality and performance of a drug is widely recognized. The exact solid state polymorph (or pseudo-polymorph) of a compound determines its physical properties such as dissolution rate, solubility, bioavailability, crystal habit, mechanical strength, etc. (Datta et al, Nature Reviews— Drug Discovery, 2004, 3:42-57). The delivery of an exact dosage in manufacture and the manufacturing process itself often depend on which of several possible polymorphs or pseudo-polymorphs are present.

The variation in properties among different polymorphs (or pseudo-polymorphs) usually means that one crystalline form is desired or preferred over other forms. Obtaining a particular form can be difficult, however. Typically, researchers have to experiment with a multitude of variables in crystallization conditions, such as aqueous solvent mixtures, amount of water, amount of target compound, relative humidity, temperature of incubation, incubation time, etc., in a process characterized by trial and error. Further, the search for salts of crystalline forms (usually sought after to control dissolution rate and solubility) can require extensive experimentation. Each salt of a drug or each different solvent used to crystallize the drug or a salt of the drug may lead to polymorphs or pseudo-polymorphs that have to be fully investigated and that have different properties (see e.g., Reutzel-Edens et al, "Anhydrates and hydrates of olanzapine: Crystallization, solid-state characterization, and structural relationships," Crystal Growth & Design, 2003, 3 :897-907).

Another common problem that exists with many pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, nutraceuticals etc. is low solubility. Low solubility can make formulating a particular compound difficult, and generally low solubility translates into low bioavailability. Much research is conducted on finding ways to improve a compound's solubility and availability. Typically methods include complex delivery devices and chemical modifications of the drug.

Polymorphism and pseudo-polymorphism is difficult to predict, i.e., there is a relationship between the crystalline state of a compound and its chemical properties (e.g., dissolution rate, solubility), biological properties (e.g., bioavailability, pharmacokinetics), mechanical and physical properties, and manufacturing processes. In some instances polymorphs and pseudo-polymorphs can interconvert. Moreover, there is a need for compositions that can manifest their base property, for example, their pharmacological properties, while having controllable and/or adjustable chemical, biological, and physical properties, that the formulator can "tune" to the desired properties while at the same time avoiding any undesirable polymorphism. In addition, there is a need for compounds having these properties which have modifiable dissolution and solubility properties. As such, there is further needed methods of preparing and using compositions having these controllable properties. Further, there is a need for methods of converting compounds that are difficult to solubilize into a form that allows for increased solubility. Disclosed herein are compositions and methods that provide for the above compounds, compositions, and methods.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the purposes of the disclosed materials, compounds, compositions, devices, and methods, as embodied and broadly described herein, the disclosed subject matter, in one aspect, relates to compounds and compositions and methods for preparing and using such compounds and compositions. In a further aspect, the disclosed subject matter relates to ionic liquid compositions that can be used for or in biological, pharmaceutical, nutritional, cosmetic, industrial, and commercial compositions. Methods for making the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of preparing ionic liquid compositions of active pharmaceutical, biological, nutritional, and energetic ingredients. Also the disclosed are methods of using the compositions described herein to overcome polymorphism, overcome solubility and delivery problems, to control release rates, add functionality, enhance efficacy, and improve ease of use and manufacture. Also disclosed is the use of multiple functional co-ionic liquids with excess of any free base or any free acid in equilibrium with cation or anion that are composed of active pharmaceutical, biological, nutritional, or energetic ingredients. The present disclosure is based upon the discovery that the physico-chemical properties of common pharmaceutical salts can be modified by by addition of the corresponding protic acid or base to form new ionic liquid species of the type [B ¹ HB ² JA or B[A ¹ HA ² ]. Also disclosed is a process for preparation via solvent-free methods, e.g. grinding or reaction in molten state. The process can include addition of a acid or base to a common pharmaceutical active salt or by direct solvent-free reaction of acid with base in a ratio other than 1:1 to form co-ionic liquids of the type [B ¹ HB ² JA or B[A ¹ HA ² ]. Additional advantages will be set forth in part in the description that follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the aspects described below. The advantages described below will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive.

Further disclosed is the use of ionic liquids for immobilization, delivery, and controlled release of pharmaceutically active neutral compounds. This use is based upon the discovery that neutral active compounds, especially pharmaceuticals, can be covalently linked with ionic structural moiety and turned into an ionic liquid by appropriate choice of the counter ion. The ionic liquid acts not only as support for the active compounds, being able to store pharmaceuticals in inactive form but also allow a simple tuning of physical properties like solubility, bioavailability, lipophilicity or control over polymorphism as well as the control over release kinetics of the active compound. Yet further discloses is a synthetic methodology to transfer neutral compounds into salts, wherein the active compound can be of either positive or negative charge, with the possibility to form dual functioning salts by introduction of a second, pharmaceutically or biologically active counterion.

Further described herein is a method for the immobilization of volatile fragrance and flavor compounds in the form of ionic liquids of neglible volatility for storage as well for controlled and prolonged release of the fragrance- or flavor compounds under defined conditions such as temperature, or pH value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The materials, compounds, compositions, articles, and methods described herein may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of specific aspects of the disclosed subject matter and the Examples included therein. Before the present materials, compounds, compositions, articles, devices, and methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that the aspects described below are not limited to specific synthetic methods or specific reagents, as such may, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. Also, throughout this specification, various publications are referenced. The disclosures of these publications in their entireties are hereby incorporated by reference into this application in order to more fully describe the state of the art to which the disclosed matter pertains. The references disclosed are also individually and specifically incorporated by reference herein for the material contained in them that is discussed in the sentence in which the reference is relied upon.

In this specification and in the claims that follow, reference will be made to a number of terms, which shall be defined to have the following meanings:

Throughout the description and claims of this specification the word "comprise" and other forms of the word, such as "comprising" and "comprises," means including but not limited to, and is not intended to exclude, for example, other additives, components, integers, or steps.

As used in the description and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a composition" includes mixtures of two or more such compositions, reference to "an ionic liquid" includes mixtures of two or more such ionic liquids, reference to "the compound" includes mixtures of two or more such compounds, and the like. "Optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.

Ranges can be expressed herein as from "about" one particular value, and/or to "about" another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent "about," it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as "about" that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value "10" is disclosed, then "about 10" is also disclosed. It is also understood that when a value is disclosed, then "less than or equal to" the value, "greater than or equal to the value," and possible ranges between values are also disclosed, as appropriately understood by the skilled artisan. For example, if the value "10" is disclosed, then "less than or equal to 10" as well as "greater than or equal to 10" is also disclosed. It is also understood that throughout the application data are provided in a number of different formats and that this data represent endpoints and starting points and ranges for any combination of the data points. For example, if a particular data point "10" and a particular data point "15" are disclosed, it is understood that greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, and equal to 10 and 15 are considered disclosed as well as between 10 and 15. It is also understood that each unit between two particular units are also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed.

As used herein, by a "subject" is meant an individual. Thus, the "subject" can include domesticated animals (e.g., cats, dogs, etc.), livestock (e.g., cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.), laboratory animals (e.g., mouse, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, etc.), and birds. "Subject" can also include a mammal, such as a primate or a human.

By "reduce" or other forms of the word, such as "reducing" or "reduction," is meant lowering of an event or characteristic (e.g., microorganism growth or survival). It is understood that this is typically in relation to some standard or expected value, in other words it is relative, but that it is not always necessary for the standard or relative value to be referred to. For example, "reduces bacteria growth" means lowering the amount of bacteria relative to a standard or a control.

By "prevent" or other forms of the word, such as "preventing" or "prevention," is meant to stop a particular event or characteristic, to stabilize or delay the development or progression of a particular event or characteristic, or to minimize the chances that a particular event or characteristic will occur. Prevent does not require comparison to a control as it is typically more absolute than, for example, reduce. As used herein, something could be reduced but not prevented, but something that is reduced could also be prevented. Likewise, something could be prevented but not reduced, but something that is prevented could also be reduced. It is understood that where reduce or prevent are used, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the use of the other word is also expressly disclosed.

By "treat" or other forms of the word, such as "treated" or "treatment," is meant to administer a composition or to perform a method in order to reduce, prevent, inhibit, break- down, or eliminate a particular characteristic or event {e.g., microorganism growth or survival). The term "control" is used synonymously with the term "treat."

By "antimicrobial" is meant the ability to treat or control {e.g., reduce, prevent, inhibit, break-down, or eliminate) microorganism growth or survival at any concentration. Similarly, the terms "antibacterial," "antiviral," and "antifungal" respectively mean the ability to treat or control {e.g., reduce, prevent, inhibit, break-down, or eliminate) bacterial, viral, and fungal growth or survival at any concentration.

It is understood that throughout this specification the identifiers "first" and "second" are used solely to aid in distinguishing the various components and steps of the disclosed subject matter. The identifiers "first" and "second" are not intended to imply any particular order, amount, preference, or importance to the components or steps modified by these terms.

References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound.

A weight percent (wt. %) of a component, unless specifically stated to the contrary, is based on the total weight of the formulation or composition in which the component is included.

The term "ion," as used herein, refers to any molecule, portion of a molecule, cluster of molecules, molecular complex, moiety, or atom that contains a charge (positive, negative, or both {e.g., zwitterions) or that can be made to contain a charge. Methods for producing a charge in a molecule, portion of a molecule, cluster of molecules, molecular complex, moiety, or atom are disclosed herein and can be accomplished by methods known in the art, e.g., protonation, deprotonation, oxidation, reduction, alkylation, etc.

The term "anion" is a type of ion and is included within the meaning of the term "ion". An "anion" is any molecule, portion of a molecule (e.g., zwitterion), cluster of molecules, molecular complex, moiety, or atom that contains a net negative charge or that can be made to contain a net negative charge. The term "anion precursor" is used herein to specifically refer to a molecule that can be converted to an anion via a chemical reaction (e.g., deprotonation).

The term "cation" is a type of ion and is included within the meaning of the term "ion". A "cation" is any molecule, portion of a molecule (e.g., zwitterion), cluster of molecules, molecular complex, moiety, or atom, that contains a net positive charge or that can be made to contain a net positive charge. The term "cation precursor" is used herein to specifically refer to a molecule that can be converted to a cation via a chemical reaction (e.g., protonation or alkylation). As used herein, the term "substituted" is contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, and aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described below. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this disclosure, the heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, can have hydrogen substituents and/or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein which satisfy the valencies of the heteroatoms. This disclosure is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds. Also, the terms "substitution" or "substituted with" include the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with permitted valence of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound that does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc.

"D ¹ ," "D ² ," "D ³ ," and "D ⁴ " are used herein as generic symbols to represent various specific substituents. These symbols can be any substituent, not limited to those disclosed herein, and when they are defined to be certain substituents in one instance, they can, in another instance, be defined as some other substituents.

The term "aliphatic" as used herein refers to a non-aromatic hydrocarbon group and includes branched and unbranched, alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl groups. The term "alkyl" as used herein is a branched or unbranched saturated hydrocarbon group of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t- butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl, hexadecyl, eicosyl, tetracosyl, and the like. The alkyl group can also be substituted or unsubstituted. The alkyl group can be substituted with one or more groups including, but not limited to, alkyl, halogenated alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aldehyde, amino, carboxylic acid, ester, ether, halide, hydroxy, ketone, nitro, silyl, sulfo-oxo, sulfonyl, sulfone, sulfoxide, or thiol, as described below.

Throughout the specification "alkyl" is generally used to refer to both unsubstituted alkyl groups and substituted alkyl groups; however, substituted alkyl groups are also specifically referred to herein by identifying the specific substituent(s) on the alkyl group. For example, the term "halogenated alkyl" specifically refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more halide, e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The term "alkoxyalkyl" specifically refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more alkoxy groups, as described below. The term "alkylamino" specifically refers to an alkyl group that is substituted with one or more amino groups, as described below, and the like. When "alkyl" is used in one instance and a specific term such as "alkylalcohol" is used in another, it is not meant to imply that the term "alkyl" does not also refer to specific terms such as "alkylalcohol" and the like. This practice is also used for other groups described herein. That is, while a term such as "cycloalkyl" refers to both unsubstituted and substituted cycloalkyl moieties, the substituted moieties can, in addition, be specifically identified herein; for example, a particular substituted cycloalkyl can be referred to as, e.g., an "alkylcycloalkyl." Similarly, a substituted alkoxy can be specifically referred to as, e.g., a "halogenated alkoxy," a particular substituted alkenyl can be, e.g., an "alkenylalcohol," and the like. Again, the practice of using a general term, such as "cycloalkyl," and a specific term, such as "alkylcycloalkyl," is not meant to imply that the general term does not also include the specific term.

The term "aryl" as used herein is a group that contains any carbon-based aromatic group including, but not limited to, benzene, naphthalene, phenyl, biphenyl, phenoxybenzene, and the like. The term "aryl" also includes "heteroaryl," which is defined as a group that contains an aromatic group that has at least one heteroatom incorporated within the ring of the aromatic group. Examples of heteroatoms include, but are not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Likewise, the term "non-heteroaryl," which is also included in the term "aryl," defines a group that contains an aromatic group that does not contain a heteroatom. The aryl group can be substituted or unsubstituted. The aryl group can be substituted with one or more groups including, but not limited to, alkyl, halogenated alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aldehyde, amino, carboxylic acid, ester, ether, halide, hydroxy, ketone, nitro, silyl, sulfo-oxo, sulfonyl, sulfone, sulfoxide, or thiol as described herein. The term "biaryl" is a specific type of aryl group and is included in the definition of aryl. Biaryl refers to two aryl groups that are bound together via a fused ring structure, as in naphthalene, or are attached via one or more carbon-carbon bonds, as in biphenyl.

The term "cycloalkyl" as used herein is a non-aromatic carbon-based ring composed of at least three carbon atoms. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, etc. The term "heterocycloalkyl" is a cycloalkyl group as defined above where at least one of the carbon atoms of the ring is substituted with a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or phosphorus. The cycloalkyl group and heterocycloalkyl group can be substituted or unsubstituted. The cycloalkyl group and heterocycloalkyl group can be substituted with one or more groups including, but not limited to, alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aldehyde, amino, carboxylic acid, ester, ether, halide, hydroxy, ketone, nitro, silyl, sulfo-oxo, sulfonyl, sulfone, sulfoxide, or thiol as described herein.

Certain materials, compounds, compositions, and components disclosed herein can be obtained commercially or readily synthesized using techniques generally known to those of skill in the art. For example, the starting materials and reagents used in preparing the disclosed compounds and compositions are either available from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co., (Milwaukee, WI), Acros Organics (Morris Plains, NJ), Fisher Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA), Sigma (St. Louis, MO), or are prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art following procedures set forth in references such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-17 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991); Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5 and Supplemental (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989); Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991); March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, (John Wiley and Sons, 4th Edition); and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989). Other materials, such as the active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, herbicides, and other biological agents disclosed herein can be obtained from commercial sources. In one aspect, disclosed herein are ionic liquid compositions. The term "ionic liquid" has many definitions in the art, but is used herein to refer to salts (i.e., compositions comprising cations and anions) that are liquid at a temperature of at or below about 150°C. That is, at one or more temperature ranges or points at or below about 150°C the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are liquid; although, it is understood that they can be solids at other temperature ranges or points. Since the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are liquid, and thus not crystalline solids, at a given temperature, the disclosed compositions do not suffer from the problems of polymorphism associated with crystalline solids.

The use of the term "liquid" to describe the disclosed ionic liquid compositions is meant to describe a generally amorphous, non-crystalline, or semi-crystalline state. For example, while some structured association and packing of cations and anions can occur at the atomic level, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions have minor amounts of such ordered structures and are therefore not crystalline solids. The compositions disclosed herein can be fluid and free-flowing liquids or amorphous solids such as glasses or waxes at a temperature at or below about 150°C. In particular examples disclosed herein, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are liquid at the body temperature of a subject.

Further, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are materials composed of at least two different ions; each of which can independently and simultaneously introduce a specific characteristic to the composition not easily obtainable with traditional dissolution and formulation techniques. Thus, by providing different ions and ion combinations, one can change the characteristics or properties of the disclosed ionic liquid compositions in a way not seen by simply preparing various crystalline salt forms. Examples of characteristics that can be controlled in the disclosed compositions include, but are not limited to, melting, solubility control, and rate of dissolution. It is this multi-nature/functionality of the disclosed ionic liquid compositions which allows one to fine-tune or design in very specific desired material properties.

It is further understood that the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can include solvent molecules (e.g., water); however, these solvent molecules should not be present in excess in the sense that the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are dissolved in the solvent, forming a solution. That is, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions contain no or minimal amounts of solvent molecules that are free and not bound or associated with the ions present in the ionic liquid composition. Thus, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be liquid hydrates or solvates, but not solutions.

Ionic liquids have been of general interest because they are environmentally-friendly alternatives to organic solvents for various chemical processes, e.g., liquid/liquid extractions, catalysis, separations, and electrochemistry. Ionic liquids have also become popular alternative media for chemical synthesis because of their low volatility and low toxicity. See e.g., Wasserscheid and Keim, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2000, 39:3772; and Wasserscheid, "Ionic Liquids in Synthesis," 1 ^st Ed., Wiley- VCH, 2002. Further, ionic liquids can reduce costs, disposal requirements, and hazards associated with volatile organic compounds. Other exemplary properties of ionic liquids are high ionic conductivity, non- volatility, non- flammability, high thermal stability, wide temperature for liquid phase, highly solvability, and non-coordinating. For a review of ionic liquids see, for example, Welton, Chem Rev. 1999, 99 :2071 -2083 ; and Carlin et al. , Advances in Nonaqueous Chemistry, Mamantov et al. Eds., VCH Publishing, New York, 1994.

The specific physical properties (e.g., melting point, viscosity, density, water solubility, etc.) of ionic liquids are determined by the choice of cation and anion, as is disclosed more fully herein. As an example, the melting point for an ionic liquid can be changed by making structural modifications to the ions or by combining different ions. Similarly, the particular chemical properties (e.g., bioactivity, toxicity, pharmacokinetics, etc.), can be selected by changing the constituent ions of the ionic liquid.

The ionic liquid compositions disclosed herein are comprised of at least one kind of anion and at least one kind of cation. The at least one kind of cation, the at least one kind of anion, or both can be a pharmaceutical active, a pesticidal active, a herbicidal active, a food additive, a nutraceutical, or the like, including any combination thereof, as is disclosed herein. It is contemplated that the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can comprise one kind of cation with more than one kind of anion (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more different kinds of anions). Likewise, it is contemplated that the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can comprise one kind of anion with more than one kind of cation (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more different kinds of cations). Further, the disclosed ionic liquids can comprise more than one kind of anion (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 8, 9, 10, or more different kinds of anions) with more than one kind of cation (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more different kinds of cations). Specific examples include, but are not limited to, one kind of cation with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 2 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 3 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 4 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 5 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 6 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 7 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 8 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 9 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, 10 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions, or more than 10 kinds of cations with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of anions. Other specific examples include, but are not limited to, one kind of anion with 1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 2 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 3 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 4 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 5 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 6 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 7 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 8 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 9 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, 10 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations, or more than 10 kinds of anions with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more kinds of cations. In addition to the cations and anions, the ionic liquid compositions disclosed herein can also contain nonionic species, such as solvents, preservatives, dyes, colorants, thickeners, surfactants, viscosity modifiers, mixtures and combinations thereof and the like. However, the amount of such nonionic species is typically low (e.g., less than about 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 wt.% based on the total weight of the composition). In some examples described herein, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are neat; that is, the only materials present in the disclosed ionic liquids are the cations and anions that make up the ionic liquid compositions. It is understood, however, that with neat compositions, some additional materials or impurities can sometimes be present, albeit at low to trace amounts (e.g., less than about 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 wt.% based on the total weight of the composition). The disclosed ionic liquid compositions are liquid at some temperature range or point at or below about 150°C. For example, the disclosed ionic liquids can be a liquid at or below about 150, 149, 148, 147, 146, 145, 144, 143, 142, 141, 140, 139, 138, 137, 136, 135, 134, 133, 132, 131, 130, 129, 128, 127, 126, 125, 124, 123, 122, 121, 120, 119, 118, 117, 116, 115, 114, 113, 112, 111, 110, 109, 108, 107, 106, 105, 104, 103, 102, 101, 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, 88, 87, 86, 85, 84, 83, 82, 81, 80, 79, 78, 77, 76, 75, 74, 73, 72, 71, 70, 69, 68, 67, 66, 65, 64, 63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50, 49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44, 43, 42, 41, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16, -17, -18, -19, -20, -21, -22, -23, -24, -25, -26, -27, -28, -29, or -30 ⁰ C, where any of the stated values can form an upper or lower endpoint when appropriate. In further examples, the disclosed ionic liquids can be liquid at any point from about -30 ⁰ C to about 150 ⁰ C, from about -20 ⁰ C to about 140 ⁰ C, -10 ⁰ C to about 130 ⁰ C, from about 0 ⁰ C to about 120 ⁰ C, from about 10 ⁰ C to about HO ⁰ C, from about 20 ⁰ C to about 100 ⁰ C, from about 30 ⁰ C to about 90 ⁰ C, from about 40 ⁰ C to about 8O ⁰ C, from about 50 ⁰ C to about 70 ⁰ C, from about -30 ⁰ C to about 50 ⁰ C, from about -30 ⁰ C to about 90 ⁰ C, from about - 30 ⁰ C to about 110 ⁰ C, from about -30 ⁰ C to about 130 ⁰ C, from about -3O ⁰ C to about 150 ⁰ C, from about 30 ⁰ C to about 90 ⁰ C, from about 30 ⁰ C to about 110 ⁰ C, from about 30 ⁰ C to about 130 ⁰ C, from about 30 ⁰ C to about 150 ⁰ C, from about 0 ⁰ C to about 100 ⁰ C, from about 0 ⁰ C to about 70 ⁰ C, from about 0° to about 50 ⁰ C, and the like.

Further, in some examples the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be liquid over a wide range of temperatures, not just a narrow range of, say, 1-2 degrees. For example, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be liquids over a range of at least about 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more degrees. In other example, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be liquid over at least about a 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more degree temperature range. Such temperature ranges can begin and/or end at any of the temperature points disclosed in the preceding paragraph.

In many examples disclosed herein the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are liquid at the temperature at which they will be used or processed. For example, many of the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be used for therapeutic or nutritional purposes in a subject. In this case, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be liquid at the subject's body temperature (e.g., about 37°C for a human). Other examples include compositions that can be used as herbicides or pesticides, which are liquid at the temperature of their use (e.g., ambient temperature). In still other examples, the disclosed compositions can be liquid at the temperature at which they are formulated or processed.

It is understood, however, that the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can, though need not, be solubilized, and solutions of the disclosed ionic liquids are contemplated herein. Further, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be formulated in an extended or controlled release vehicle, for example, by encapsulating the ionic liquids in microspheres or microcapsules using methods known in the art. Still further, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can themselves be solvents for other solutes. For example, the disclosed ionic liquids can be used to dissolve a particular nonionic or ionic pharmaceutical active. These and other formulations of the disclosed ionic liquids are disclosed elsewhere herein. In some examples, the disclosed ionic liquids are not solutions where ions are dissolved in a solute. In other examples, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions do not contain ionic exchange resins. In still other examples, the disclosed ionic liquids are substantially free of water. By substantially free is meant that water is present at less than about 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, or 0.1 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition.

The disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be prepared by methods described herein. Generally, the particular cation(s) and anion(s) used to prepare the disclosed ionic liquids are selected as described herein. Then, with the particular cation(s) and anion(s) in hand, they can be combined, resulting in ionic liquid compositions as disclosed herein. Additionally, the method for the preparation of the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can include the reaction in which two neutral species: an anion precursor (e.g., in the form of an inorganic acid, carboxylic organic acid, non-carboxylic acid, or zwitterion species) and a cation precursor (e.g., inorganic base, organic base, zwitterion species) are combined resulting in ionic liquid compositions as disclosed herein. Providing ions used to prepare the disclosed ionic liquids depends, in one aspect, on the desired properties of the resulting ionic liquid composition. As described herein, the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can have multiple desired properties, which, at least in part, come from the properties of the cation(s) and/or anion(s) used to prepare the ionic liquid. Thus, to prepare the disclosed ionic liquids, one or more kinds of cations with a desired property(ies) are provided. One or more kinds of anions with a desired property(ies) that is similar or different to that of the cation(s) can likewise be provided. Of course, providing a desired anion(s) and cation(s) can be done in any order, depending on the preference and aims of the practitioner. For example, a particular cation(s) can be provided and then a particular anion(s) can be provided. Alternatively, a particular anion(s) can be provided and then a particular cation(s) can be provided. Further, the cation(s) and anion(s) can be provided simultaneously.

As noted, providing a suitable ion can be based on selecting an ion that possesses a property that is desired (e.g., the ion has a property that is desired to be possessed by the resulting ionic liquid). Examples of properties that could be desired in a suitable cation and/or anion (and thus the ionic liquid made therefrom) include, but are not limited to, biological, therapeutic, prophylactic, nutritional, pesticidal, and/or herbicidal activity. Inertness, taste, viscosity modulation, solubility modulation, stability, and toxicity are other properties of a given ion that could be desired and considered. While more specific properties are disclosed elsewhere herein, the disclosed methods and compositions are not limited to any particular combination of properties, as such will depend on the preferences and goals of the practitioner.

Typically, the desired properties of the cation(s) and anion(s) will be different or complimentary to one another. In this way, the resulting ionic liquid can possess multiple desired properties: those properties imparted by the cation(s) and those imparted by the anion(s). In other words, some or all of the ions present in the disclosed ionic liquids can independently and simultaneously introduce a specific functionality or property to the disclosed ionic liquid compositions. It is this multiple functionality characteristic that can allow one to fine-tune or design very specific physical, chemical, and bioactive properties in the disclosed ionic liquid compositions. Additional functionality can be obtained by using the disclosed ionic liquid compositions as solvents to dissolve a solute(s) with another desired property, thus resulting in a solution where the ions of the ionic liquid as well as the solute contribute desired properties to the composition. General and specific examples of various combinations of ions and their associated properties are disclosed herein. In some particular examples, one or more ions in the disclosed ionic liquid composition (e.g., the anions, cations, or both) can be a pharmaceutical active, e.g., an existing drug that is ionic or that can be made ionic. Many drugs exist naturally or at physiological conditions as an ion, or they can be converted to ions via simple chemical transformations (e.g., alkylation, protonation, deprotonation, etc.). As such, these drugs can be used to prepare an ionic liquid composition as disclosed herein. Such drugs can possess any therapeutic or prophylactic activity, many of which are described herein. Combining such drugs with other ions to prepare an ionic liquid, as is disclosed herein, can result in the modification and/or enhancement of the drug's properties. For example, a first drug ion with a given property can be combined with an oppositely charged second ion with another property to effect the controlled release, controlled delivery, biological impact, taste, physical properties (stability, solubility, toxicity, melting point, etc.), or to overcome polymorphism in the first drug ion. In this way, new drug compositions can be created by forming ionic liquids with functionality crafted into the combination of the ions, as disclosed herein.

As another example, the first drug ion may be combined with a second drug ion that has properties complimentary to the first. Examples of this can include, but are not limited to, an ion having anesthetic properties being combined with an ion having antibacterial properties, an ion having anesthetic properties being combined with an ion having coagulation properties, or an ion having coagulation properties being combined with an ion having antibacterial properties. Ionic liquids resulting from such combinations could find uses in wound repair, for example. Still other examples of desirable combination include ions having therapeutic or prophylactic efficacy being combined with ions having taste enhancement properties (i.e., taste modifiers). Ionic liquids resulting from this combination can be useful in enhancing the taste and palatability of medicines. Still further examples can include two differently charged ions each with similar uses but with different mechanisms of action. Specific examples of such combinations can include, but are not limited to, combinations of ions with antineoplastic properties or antiviral properties. Ionic liquids prepared from such ion combinations can be useful as drug "cocktails," where two or more bioactive agents are present in a single ionic liquid combination. According to the methods and compositions disclosed herein, ion identification and combination, as disclosed herein, can involve any ion, not just ionic drugs, as long as the combination results in an ionic liquid. For example, ions that have pesticidal properties can be combined with oppositely charged ions having pesticidal, herbicidal, antimicrobial properties, and the like. In other examples, ions with antibacterial properties can be combined with oppositely charges ions that have preservative properties, taste modifiers, etc. In still other examples, an ion with one therapeutic or prophylactic property can be combined with another therapeutic or prophylactic ion. As should be appreciated, the various combinations of ions according to the disclosed methods are numerous, and depend only on the desired combination of properties and whether the resulting ion combination is an ionic liquid as defined herein.

Specific examples of properties that can be exhibited by the disclosed compositions include antibacterial, FDA approved dyes, anti-acne, antibiotic, UV blocker, wetting agents, preservative, emollient, anti-inflammatory, and vitamin.

IONIC LIQUID IMMOBILIZED FRAGRANCES Fragrance and flavor formulations suffer from limited lifetime because their constituents evaporate, are degrading or lost during storage. Perfumes in consumer products tend to fade by evaporation, oxidation, chemical degradation or interaction with other ingredients. The flavor industry has addresses the issue of performance loss of flavors by developing specific delivery systems. At the present time, sustained release techniques for flavor and fragrance delivery present in literature are usually based on encapsulation either in hydrophilic matrices, via spray drying, granulation and spray-coating, encapsulation by coacervation and interfacial polymerization and the use of colloidal carriers for the application in aqueous products (Quellet et al. Chimia 2001, 55:421-428). The use of ionic liquid in fragrance and flavor industry is mainly dealing with solvent applications for the synthesis of fragrance and flavor materials in ionic liquids or with the extraction of naturals (Sullivan, N. Innovations in Pharmaceutical Technology 2006, 20:75- 77). For example, Forsyth et al. investigated the utilization of ionic liquid solvents for the synthesis of lily-of-the- valley fragrance and fragrance intermediate Lilial (Forsyth et al., J. MoI. Cat. A. 2005, 231 :61-66). The role of ionic liquids in consumer products and fragrances is comparingly less explored (Davey, Perf. Flav. 2008, 33:34-35; Liu, Flav. Frag. Cosm. (Xiangliao Xiangjing Huazhuangpin) 2004, 29:30-36). Creavis noted that the rate of evaporation of a perfume could be slowed using an ionic liquid as fixative (Petrat et al. US 2006/0166856; Creavis AG DE 10337579A1). Examples include a chypre accord, a musk base and a rose composition with increased fiber substantivity compared to the same composition without the ionic liquid. The modification of textile surfaces, optionally adding a benefit agent which includes a perfume followed by removal of the ionic liquid was described by Procter and Gamble. (US 20060090271, US 20060090777, EP 1807497). Benefit agent delivery systems comprising ionic liquids and their uses in detergent compositions have also been reported. (Price et al. US2006094617)

Delivery devices or storage media for fragrances and flavors based on ionic liquids that include a covalent attachment of the active compound and immobilization as a salt and there application for storage as well as for prolonged and controlled triggered relase not mentioned in any form in prior literature. Ions

The disclosed ionic liquids contain at least one kind of cation and at least one kind of anion. Examples of suitable cations and anions are disclosed herein. It should be understood that when a particular compound is disclosed as being a cation, for example, it can also, in other circumstances, be an anion and vice versa. Many compounds are known to exist as cations in some environments and anions in other environments. Further, many compounds are known to be convertible to cations and anions through various chemical transformations. Examples of such compounds are disclosed herein.

The materials, compounds, compositions, and components that can be used for, can be used in conjunction with, can be used in preparation for, or are products of the disclosed methods and compositions are disclosed herein. It is understood that when combinations, subsets, interactions, groups, etc. of these materials are disclosed that while specific reference of each various individual and collective combinations and permutation of these compounds may not be explicitly disclosed, each is specifically contemplated and described herein. For example, if an iom ^' c liquid composition is disclosed and a number of modifications that can be made to a number of components of the ionic liquid composition are discussed, each and every combination and permutation that are possible are specifically contemplated unless specifically indicated to the contrary. Thus, if a class of cations A, B, and C are disclosed as well as a class of anions D, E, and F and an example of a ionic liquid A-D is disclosed, then even if each is not individually recited, each is individually and collectively contemplated. Thus, in this example, each of the ionic liquids A-E, A-F, B-D, B-E, B-F, C-D, C-E, and C-F are specifically contemplated and should be considered disclosed from disclosure of A, B, and C; D, E, and F; and the example ionic liquid A-D. Likewise, any subset or combination of these is also specifically contemplated and disclosed. Thus, for example, the sub-group of A-E, B-F, and C-E are specifically contemplated and should be considered disclosed from disclosure of A, B, and C; D, E, and F; and the example combination A-D. This concept applies to all aspects of this disclosure including, but not limited to, steps in methods of making and using the disclosed compositions. Thus, if there are a variety of additional steps that can be performed it is understood that each of these additional steps can be performed with any specific aspect or combination of aspects of the disclosed methods, and that each such combination is specifically contemplated and should be considered disclosed. Cations

Particular examples of cationic compounds that can be present in the disclosed ionic liquid compositions are compounds that contain nitrogen atoms. Nitrogen atoms can exist or can be converted to positively-charged quaternary ammonium species, for example, through alkylation or protonation of the nitrogen atom. Thus compounds that possess a quaternary nitrogen atom (known as quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs)) are typically cations. According to the methods and compositions disclosed herein, any compound that contains a quaternary nitrogen atom or a nitrogen atom that can be converted into a quaternary nitrogen atom can be a suitable cation for the disclosed ionic liquid compositions.

QACs can have numerous biological properties that one may desire to be present in the disclosed ionic liquid compositions. For example, many QACs are known to have antibacterial properties. The antibacterial properties of QACs were first observed toward the end of the 19 ^th century among the carbonium dyestuffs, such as auramin, methyl violet, and malachite green. These types of compounds are effective chiefly against the Gram-positive organisms. Jacobs and Heidelberger first discovered QACs antibacterial effect in 1915 studying the antibacterial activity of substituted hexamethylene-tetrammonium salts (Jacobs and Heidelberger, Proc Nat Acad Sci USA, 1915, 1 :226; Jacobs and Heidelberger, J Biol Chem, 1915, 20:659; Jacobs and Heidelberger, JExptlMed, 1916, 23:569).

Browning et al. found great and somewhat less selective bactericidal powers among quaternary derivatives of pyridine, quinoline, and phenazine (Browning et al. , Proc Roy Soc London, 1922, 93B:329; Browning et al., Proc Roy Soc London, 1926, 100B:293). Hartman and Kagi observed antibacterial activity in QACs of acylated alkylene diamines (Hartman and Kagi, ZAngew Chem, 1928, 4:127).

In 1935, Domagk synthesized long-chain QACs, including benzalkonium chloride, and characterized their antibacterial activities (Domagk, Deut Med Wochenschr, 1935,

61 :829). He showed that these salts are effective against a wide variety of bacterial strains. This study of the use of QACs as germicides was greatly stimulated.

Many scientists have focused their attention on water soluble QACs because they exhibit a range of properties: they are surfactants, they destroy bacteria and fungi, they serve as a catalyst in phase-transfer catalysis, and they show anti-electrostatic and anticorrosive properties. They exert antibacterial action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial as well as against some pathogen species of fungi and protozoa. These multifunctional salts have also been used in wood preservation, their application promoted in the papers of Oertel and Butcher et al. (Oertel, Holztechnologie, 1965, 6:243; Butcher et al, For Prod J, 1977, 27:19; Butcher et al., JFor Sci, 1978, 8:403).

QACs are also widely used as skin antiseptics, disinfectants, fabric softeners, antistatic agents, cleaning agents, and preservatives. Detergent properties and antimicrobial activities of QACs have made them useful for general environmental sanitations, for examples, in hospitals and food production facilities. In pharmacological preparations they are used such as mouth rinses, lozenges, sprays and gels.

In humans and animals QACs have been considered too toxic for systematic applications, but are accepted to be safe for topical applications. Furthermore, QACs have recently been used as penetration enhancers for transnasal and transbuccal drug delivery, as well as in nasal vaccination (Klinguer et al., Vaccine, 2001, 19:4236). This ability to penetrate and open cell membrane has been widely used in drug delivery via liposomes (mainly QACs with two long alkyl chains) and non- viral gene delivery (Liu and Huang, J ContrRel, 2002, 78:259). Many examples of compounds having nitrogen atoms, which exist as quaternary ammonium species or can be converted into quaternary ammonium species, are disclosed herein. In some examples, when the cation is a quaternary ammonium compound, the anion is not an inorganic anion, examples of which are disclosed herein. In other examples, where the cation is a quaternary ammonium compound, the anion is not a halide. Aliphatic Heteroaryls

Some specific QACs suitable for use herein are aliphatic heteroaryls. An aliphatic heteroaryl cation is a compound that comprises an aliphatic moiety bonded to a heteroaryl moiety. In the aliphatic heteroaryl cation, the aliphatic moiety can be any alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, or cycloalkenyl group, as described herein. Generally, the aliphatic moiety can comprise at least 10, at least 12, at least 14, at least 16, at least 18, or at least 20 carbon atoms. In other examples, the aliphatic moiety can comprise a mixture of aliphatic groups having a range of carbon atoms. For example, the aliphatic moiety can comprise from 10 to 40, from 12 to 38, from 14 to 36, from 16 to 34, from 18 to 32, from 14 to 18, or from 20 to 30 carbon atoms. In some specific examples, the aliphatic moiety can contain 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, or 45 carbon atoms, where any of the stated values can form an upper or lower endpoint when appropriate. Examples of specific aliphatic moieties that can be used include, but are not limited to, decyl, dodecyl (lauryl), tetradecyl (myristyl), hexadecyl (palmityl or cetyl), octadecyl (stearyl), eicosyl (arachidyl), and linolenyl groups, including branched derivatives thereof and any mixtures thereof. In the aliphatic heteroaryl cations, the aliphatic moiety is bonded to a heteroatom in the heteroaryl moiety. In the aliphatic heteroaryl cation, the heteroaryl moiety can be any heteroaryl moiety as described herein. For example, the heteroaryl moiety can be an aryl group having one or more heteroatoms (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorous, or halonium). Examples of specific heteroaryl moieties that can be used in the aliphatic heteroaryl cations include, but are not limited to, pyrazole, pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, pryidazine, indolizine, isoindole, indole, indazole, imidazole, oxazole, triazole, thiazole, purine, isoquinoline, quinoline, phthalazine, quinooxaline, phenazine, and the like, including substituted derivatives and mixtures thereof. In the aliphatic heteroaryl cations, a heteroatom in the heteroaryl moiety is bonded to the aliphatic moiety. When the heteroatom of the heteroaryl is nitrogen, this forms a quaternary ammonium cation, as described herein. Further examples of aliphatic heteroaryl cations are those having the following structures:

PYREDINIUM PYRIDAZINIUM PYRIMDINIUM PYRAZINIUM IMIDAZOLIUM PYRAZOLIUM

QUINOLIUM ISOQUINOLIUM wherein R ¹ and R ² are, independently, a C ₁ -C ₆ alkyl group or a C ₁ -C ₆ alkoxyalkyl group, and R ³ , R ⁴ , R ⁵ , R ⁶ , R ⁷ , R ⁸ , and R ⁹ (R ³ -R ⁹ ), when present, are independently H, a C ₁ -C ₆ alkyl, a C ₁ -C ₆ alkoxyalkyl group, a C ₁ -C ₆ alkoxy group, or an energetic substituents such as nitro, amino, cyano, azido, alkyl nitro, alkyl amino, alkyl cyano, alkyl azido, alkoxy nitro, alkoxy amino, alkoxy cyano, and alkoxy azido.

Anions

Particular examples of anionic compounds that can be present in the disclosed ionic liquids are compounds that contain oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms can exist or can be converted to negatively charged, anionic species, for example, through deprotonation of alcohols or acids, through saponification of esters, or through alkylation of ketones. Likewise, compounds that contain sulfur atoms can also exist or be converted to anionic species through similar reactions. Still further, compounds that contain nitrogen atoms, especially nitrogen atoms adjacent to electron withdrawing groups or resonance stabilizing structures, can be converted to anions through deprotonation. According to the methods and compositions disclosed herein, any compound that contains an oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen atom can be a suitable anion for the disclosed ionic liquid compositions.

Other suitable anions include, but are not limited to, halides (e.g., fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide), sulfates (SO ₄ ^" ), carbonates, bicarbonates, phosphates, phosphates, nitrates (NO ₃ ^" ), nitrites (NO ₂ ^" ), acetates (CH ₃ CO ₂ ^" ), and the like. Other examples of anions include, but are not limited to PF ₆ ^" that is immiscible in water and BF ₄ ^" that is miscible in water depending on the ratio of ionic liquid to water, system temperature, and alkyl chain length of cation. Other anions include triflate (TfO; CF ₃ SO ₂ ^" ), nonaflate (NfO; CF ₃ (CF ₂ ) ₃ SO ₂ ^" ), bis(triflyl)amide (Tf ₂ N; (CF ₃ SO ₂ ) ₂ N ^" ), trifluoroacetate (TFA; CF ₃ CO ₂ ^" ), and heptaflurorobutanoate (HB; CF ₃ (CF ₂ ) ₃ SO ₂ ^" ). Other types of ionic liquids include haloaluminates, such as chloroaluminate. Other suitable anions contemplated herein are saccharin and acesulfame. Saccharin, as an alkali metal salt, and acesulfame (6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-l,2,3-oxathiazin-4-one 2,2- dioxide), which has previously only been offered as potassium salt, are in widespread use in foodstuffs as non-nutritive sweeteners. Such anions can be used when one desires to prepare an ionic liquid composition that has sweetness as one of its desired properties. For example, saccharin and acesulfame can be combined with pharmaceutically active cations to prepare sweet tasting ionic liquids that have pharmaceutical activity.

Specific examples of other anions include piperacillin, folic acid, ibuprofen, fast green FCF, docusate, acesulfamate, penicillin G, Colawet MA-80, salicylic acid, saccharinate, sulfacetamide, naproxen, benzoate, diclofenac, and trans-cmnamic acid.

Corresponding C ₁ -C ₆ alkoxy groups contain the above C ₁ -C ₆ alkyl group bonded to an oxygen atom that is also bonded to the cation ring. An alkoxyalkyl group contains an ether 10 group bonded to an alkyl group, and here contains a total of up to six carbon atoms. It is to be noted that there are two isomeric 1,2,3-triazoles. In some examples, all R groups not required for anion formation can be H.

Further examples of suitable energetic anions are disclosed in Katritzky et al, "ILs Based on Energetic Azolate Anions," Chem Eur J 12:4630, 2006, which is incorporated by reference herein at least for its teachings of energetic anions. Compound that can exist that as both: Anion or Cation

When pharmaceutical activity is a desired property of the disclosed ionic liquids, one or more of the ions in the disclosed ionic liquid compositions can be a pharmaceutical active. Pharmaceutical actives that exist as ions or can be converted to ions, and which are suitable for use in preparing the disclosed ionic liquid compositions, include the following categories and specific examples. It is not intended that the category be limited by the specific examples. Those of ordinary skill in the art will be able to readily identify those pharmaceutical actives that can be used in the disclosed methods and compositions. For example, one can identify a compound with a given property or activity by consulting various sources, such as the Merck Index (13 ^th Edition, Wiley, 2001), The United States Pharmacopeia-National Formulary (USP-NF), and the FDA's Orange book, which are each incorporated by reference herein at least for their teachings of pharmaceutical actives. Once a compound with a desired property is identified, the skilled artisan can determine whether the compound is ionic or can be made ionic. Such determinations can be performed based on the compound's structure, which can readily be determined by consulting the sources mentioned herein or experimentally. Knowing a compound's structure can readily reveal if the compound is ionic. In fact, many pharmaceutical actives exist as salts and are thus suitable for use in preparing the disclosed ionic liquid compositions. Further, if a compound is not ionic, but contains an ion forming moiety (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, or metal atoms, as described herein), the compound can be converted to an ion and then combined with a suitable counterion to prepare the disclosed ionic liquid compositions. Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize numerous other compounds that fall within the categories and that are useful according to the disclosed compositions and methods.

LIQUID ION PAIRS

Dual functioning organic salts that do not behave as free ions either neat or in a solvent (including water) will retain the functionality of each ion in close enough proximity to lead to synergistic effects. The degree of association (or conversely dissociation) will affect the physical, chemical, and importantly, the biological properties.

• Ion pairing/clustering which imparts some extra (other than merely additive) effect in operation, e.g., enhances the therapeutic effect or increases the activity of the individual ions OR decreases the activity! While this latter may often seem to be unimportant there are cases where it would be desirable, e.g., in slow release formulations (activity here may refer to solubility or rate of diffusion from the reservoir). • The ability to "design" a liquid salt that is the thermodynamically most stable state AT a specific temperature, i.e., NOT a quenched amorphous phase that may crystallize, is important as this offers opportunities in formulation of, e.g., emulsions and will almost always provide a more soluble or dispersible form than a crystalline form.

• The concept of specific stoichiometric salts — note that this sort of clustering may also be of import.

• The activity of drugs in the body is not the only consideration, but also the formulation advantages that may accrue from having an ion-pairing or ion-clustering salt.

• In applications other than drugs (though also applies here, particularly to pro-drugs that hydrolyze or easily degraded drugs - analogous to protection against UV degradation by formulation as inclusion complexes), some of the advantages will be in the ability to create a liquid formulation that DOES NOT require water - advantages are a) stabilization; b) ease of dispersion/dissolution upon introduction into an aqueous system and c) possibilities to dissolve other substances in these salts - for example "edible IL to dissolve drugs" - the liquid salts could be used to dissolve other solid actives.

Many examples of liquid organic salts are far from fully ionized. Instead, they form ion pairs and aggregates of ions in the liquid state and are better described as Liquid Ion Pairs than "Ionic Liquids". The distinction between these states can be made on the basis of the behavior of the transport property data when plotted in a Walden plot. The Walden plot is a graph of log equivalent conductivity (corrected for molar volume) vs. log fluidity and thus may be used to estimate the degree of association cations and anions (as correlated motion of cation and anion clusters). Ionic Liquids typically lie within one order of magnitude of the "Ideal Ionic Liquid" line (that line on which salts which exhibit no correlated motion of cation and anion lie) meaning that they are between 10 and 100% ionic. Liquid Ion Pairs lie beyond this region, i.e., more than one order of magnitude away from the Ideal line. Such liquid salts are less than 10% ionized. Examples of such liquid salts of therapeutic ions include propanthaline tosylate which is about 1% ionized, as estimated from the Walden plot (Fig. 7).

This degree of association of cations and anions (as ion pairs or larger clusters) will affect various physico-chemical properties of the salts; for example, greater "ion-pairing" (which should be understood to mean clustering of any number of cations and anions) will yield a more fluid and more volatile salt as ion pairs (or clusters) move as single entities and may be vaporized as uncharged clusters which thus more readily escape the liquid due to decreased coloumbic interactions with the bulk. If such ion-pairing, or clustering, persists in solution cation or anion interactions with the environment, e.g., the body, will not simply be additive and the salt will not behave in the same way as a 1 : 1 molar mixture of salts containing the same cation and anion. In addition, such ion-pairing, or ion-clustering, salts may form a separate phase in certain solvent systems and may thus be utilized as emulsions or other dispersed phases. The non-additive effect of cation and anion in ion-paired, or clustered, salts may be either synergistic (enhanced efficacy) or antagonistic (decreased efficacy) and this allows modulation of properties by judicious choice of cation/anion pairs in salt formation. Opportunities exist for the preparation of: • Enhanced therapeutic salt substances which combine: o 2 API ions chosen for specific activity o an API ion and second active which alters physicochemical properties such as lipophilicity, thus changing, for example, membrane or transdermal transport o an API ion and second ion which serves to mask unpleasant taste and/or smell o animal therapeutic substances • Enhanced agrochemical substances which may have similar effects to those above and o yields a material easily dispersible in a second carrier, for example, as an emulsion, which nonetheless retains its lipophilicity and thus is not easily removed from surfaces, e.g. leaves

SOLVATES/HYDRATES Liquid salts can exist in a defined intermediate stage where they are solvated, but not

'in solution. This stage is characterized by all solvent present in the liquid salt being bound rather than free as demonstrated by DSC and other data.

A convenient method of determining the point where an ionic liquid containing dissolved water becomes an aqueous solution, in which water is the solvent rather than the solute, is low temperature thermal analysis. By this means we can determine the point, with increasing water content, at which the crystallization and melting of bulk ice first appears in the mixtures. The low temperature phase behaviour of aqueous salt solutions has been extensively studied in the context of cryobiology (Angell, C. A., D.R. MacFarlane et al., Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1981. 85 p.1461-1464; MacFarlane, D.R., R.K. Kadiyala, and CA. Angell, Journal of Chemical Physics, 1983. 79 p. 3921-3927; Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1983. 87 p. 1094-1095; MacFarlane, D., Cryobiology, 1985. 22 p. 601-602; MacFarlane, D.R., Cryobiology, 1986. 23 p. 559-560; MacFarlane, D.R., Cryobiology, 1986. 23 p. 230-244;MacFarlane, D.R., Cryobiology, 1987. 24 p. 181-195). Typical binary phase diagrams have been established and show the characteristics illustrated in Fig 1.

At high water contents (Region A of the diagram) the sample will crystallize ice during cooling in the DSC and exhibit a subsequent melting peak during warming. This peak is more precisely described as the ice liquidus peak, corresponding to the process of ice dissolution into the solution. The liquidus line of ice in these solutions is denoted TL.

At lower water contents, corresponding to the middle of this diagram, Region B, the ice crystalisation during cooling, or at low temperatures during subsequent warming, becomes less extensive and more sluggish, since less bulk water is available to freeze into ice. Annealing experiments can be used to allow the ice to form and one observes the liquidus line falling rapidly in Region B. In the absence of a fully formed eutectic, which is common in many aqueous - salt binaries, part of the solution remains unfrozen during the cooling or annealing treatment. This part contains all of the salt and some water. The composition of the unfrozen part can be estimated from the phase diagram and the lever rule. Evidence for this can also be seen via the appearance of a glass transition at temperature denoted Tg' in the partially frozen solution. Since the composition of the unfrozen fraction is independent of starting concentration, Tg' is almost composition independent through regions A and B as seen in the diagram.

At some point in region B, depending on the cooling rate applied, it will be possible to quench the sample into the glassy state without the crystallisation of any ice. The warming DSC trace then will show the true Tg for that composition (marked as Tg in Fig 1). Typically Tg is a strong function of composition through regions B and C. Despite the ability to quench into a fully glassy state, the sample can still crystallize ice during warming in region B, indicating that solvent water still exists in the solution.

However, in region B TL is rapidly approaching Tg and, at the composition where it falls below Tg, formation of ice becomes an insignificant event on any measurable timescale. At that point it can be said that the solution shows no evidence, on any measurable timescale, of "solvent" water and that the remaining water is involved in direct solvation interactions with the ions. This marks the beginning of region C, which we refer to as the 'hydrate ionic liquid' region. In this region the ionic liquid should be considered to be the solvent. Note that it is possible that the melting point of the pure salt may be higher than room temperature, or even higher than 100°C. If the addition of the solute amount of water to the salt to form a mixture of composition in region C is sufficient to lower the melting point of the salt to below room temperature (or other temperature of interest) then the mixture can still be considered to be a hydrate ionic liquid. The important properties of such mixtures is that they are still (in common with single component ionic liquids) liquids comprised solely of ions, in this case hydrated ions.

The use of the term "hydrate" here is justified by its use in solid state chemistry to describe salts which contain water molecules in their crystal structures. In many cases eg Ca(NO ₃ ) ₂ .4H ₂ O, there is a well understood metal solvation involved such that one could consider this salt to be Ca(H ₂ O) ₄ (NO ₃ ) ₂ . Indeed it melts congruently at 65°C to a fluid, conductive liquid state. Such hydrate salt ionic liquids have been studied in detail (MacFarlane, D.R. and D.K.Y. Wong, Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1985. 89 p. 5849-5855; MacFarlane, D.R. and CA. Angell, Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1984. 88 p. 4779-4781). The solid hydrate salts often contain a variable number of water molecules suggesting a solid solution situation exists in some cases. Nonetheless these salts are still referred to as hydrates. We therefore propose that the parallel situation in which a liquid salt-water mixture containing a variable amount of solute water be referred to as a hydrate ionic liquid as long as it exists in Region C of the binary phase diagram. INTERMEDIATE PARTIALLY IONIZED LIQUID PHASES:

Without wishing to be bound by theory, for the purposes of the present disclosure, when a disclosed acid (HA) is combined with a disclosed base (B), an equilibrium can exist as follows:

HA + B <^ [BH]A As such, the combination of a functional acid, HA, and a functional base, B, can produce liquid compositions having a dual function or capacity, i.e., the properties of each individual component. Disclosed herein are examples of an acid that is a solid at room temperature which when combined with a base that is a solid at room temperature, leads to a liquid that is a partially ionized composition. Therefore, the formulator, by contoling the equilibrium, can also adjust or modifiy the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the final compound.

MULTIPLE FUNTIONAL CO-IONIC LIQUIDS Disclosed herein are pharmaceutically active, multiply functional co-ionic liquids comprising oligomeric cations or anions and wherein the co-ionic liquids provide a method for the modification of physico-chemical properties of pharmaceutically active salts. Used here, the term "co-ionic liquids" includes ionic liquids with excess of any free base in equilibrium with the cation or excess of any free acid anion in equilibrium with the anion; thus it is possible to prepare pharmaceutically active ionic liquids with dimeric or oligomeric ions of the type: y B ^' x HA ^' [B _y HB] ⁺ A" -* HB ⁺ A ^" ► B ⁺ [A(HA) _x ] ^"

These compositions differ from conventional mixture of ionic liquids with neutral compounds by the fact that a proton is shared between anion and any acid or between cation andany base and all components are therefore present as ions.

These compositions also differ from conventional mixtures of ionic liquids by the fact that the total amount of cationic compounds is not balanced by the total amount of anionic compounds anymore, although an overall cation:anion ratio of 1:1 is obtained. For example, whereas a conventional ionic liquid would have been 1 part cation, 0.5 part first anion, and 0.5 part second anion, the co-ionic liquids disclosed in this invention can be 1 part cation, 1 part first anionic unit and 1 part of a second anionic unit that are in proton exchanged to form one mixed anion with a total charge of -1.. When the disclosed ionic liquid compositions have two or more ions with a bioactive property (e.g., pharmaceutical active ingredients, pesticidal actives, herbicidal actives, and the like), these compositions can be particularly desired because each of the active ingredients in the composition would have the same solubility and would dissolve together when formulated or administered.

The present invention provides in a first aspect a method to transform solid salts into liquid mixtures by simply changing the stoichiometry of the active pharmaceutical salts without addition of a new compound that might completely alter the biological properties.

This can be particularly useful when overcoming formulation, solubility, bioavailability, size, and polymorphism issues.

In the current invention, it is not even necessary to add an additional equivalent of acid or base to form dimeric anions or cations. For example, an co-ionic liquid composition disclosed herein can eliminate the melting point of a solid salt by addition of sub- stoichiometric amounts of acid, as it is demonstrated in the example with tetrabutylphosphonium salicylate: an excess of 0.1 equivalent of salicylic acid does already reduce the melting point of the conventional salt from 57 to 39 °C, and a 0.3 molar excess completely eliminates the melting point to yield a free flowing liquid (Fig. 2), despite the fact that both ionic liquid and free acid are solid at room temperature. A permanent proton exchange between anion and corresponding acid is present in these coionic liquids making both species undistinguishable on a NMR time scale. The degree of additional acid or base does therefore affect various physico-chemical properties of the salts; for example, the formation of a "super-anion" or "super-cation" (which is a result of a proton exchange between the ion and the corresponding acid or base) will lead to a permanent derealization of charge and depress the melting point or completely eliminate crystallization. The presence of distinct oligomeric species, e.g. dimeric or trimeric anions can be demonstrated via conductivity measurements: The presence of local maxima for conductivity of

P(Bu) ₄ [(Sal) _x H] for the species P(Bu) ₄ SaI ₂ H and P(Bu) ₄ SaI ₃ H strongly indicates the presence of hydrogen-bonded oligomeric anions (Fig. 3).

Current strategies for reduction of melting point of pharmaceutical active salts mainly rely on the formation of conventional eutectics, however, this includes the addition of a third and different compound that could completely alter the chemical properties of the salt. Our invention differs by the absence of an eutectic point: Addition of acid or base eliminates the melting point or drives it below the glass transition temperature and will eventually lead to a point of saturation at a certain stoichiometry. Higher concentrations result in the precipitation of excess acid andin a suspension of solid acid in a co-ionic liquid with a dimeric anion. The identity of the cation or of the anion is not critical to the scope of this invention:

Independently of the cation, a depression of elimination of the melting point or - in case of salts that appear as glasses - a decrease of the glass transition temperature was observed was observed with different pharmaceutically active acids with 2- or 3-fold excess. Some specific examples of co-ionic liquids include, but are not limited to the pharmaceutically active anions salicylate and ibuprofenate as well as to the biological active cations cetylpyridinium, lidocainium, ephedrinium, choline or caffeine.

Salicylate is chiefly used in anti-acne formulation, but also in various skin-care products. Ibuprofen is used as an anti-inflammatory and available as over-the-counter analgesic. Lidocaine is a common local anesthetic. Cetylpyridinium is used as an antiseptic agent alone or in combination with other drugs for oral and throat care. It is essentially nontoxic and can be applied to the skin or mucous membranes. Besides their pharmaceutical activity, caffeine and ephedrine are also common in dietary supplement.

VII VIII

By example, an elimination of melting point or a reduction of melting point or glass transition with excess acid was obtained for tetrabutylphosphonium salicylate I, tributylmethylammonium salicylate II choline salicylate III, cetylpyridinium salicylate IV, tetrabutylphoshonium lactate V, tetrabutylphoshonium ibuprofenate VI, lidocaine salicylate VII and caffeine salicylate VIII for tetrabutylphosphonium lactate.

In further examples, the disclosed co-ionic liquid compositions are not limited to higher anionic species, but can be observed almost in the same manner when excess base is added: An excess of lidocaine to the parent salt lidocaine salicylate results not only in a decreased glass transition temperature, but also in a notable reduction of viscosity until at a certain excess of lidocaine a point of saturation is obtained and a solid sample results (Fig. 4). Specific examples of such protic compositions include, but are not limited to, compositions where the cation is a local anesthetic like lidocaine IX or a decongestant like ephedrine X or one of its diastereomers and are shown below.

In the present invention, the concept double functional co-ionic liquids is not limited to mixtures of a neutral salt with the corresponding acid or base, but can be also applied to the addition of different solid acids or bases other than the parent compounds to obtain liquids type B[A ¹ HA ² ] or [B1HB ² ]A. It is therefore possible to expand the scope of ionic liquids to more than two compounds that are none the less all involved in proton-exchange process and therefore differ from a simple solution of a third compound in a conventional ionic liquid.

Some specific examples of co-ionic liquids include, but are not limited to the pharmaceutically active anions salicylate and ibuprofenate, or the vitamin niacine. Examples also include chiral species, as it was demonstrated with camphorsulfonic acid.

XIIi xiv

It is notable in all cases a liquid product is obtained with a glass transition temperature at around -50 ⁰ C only, although both starting materials tetrabutyl phosphonium salicylate and the shown acids are solid at room temperature. This elimination of melting point is most likely related to a formation of a mixed "super-anion" that is derived from proton delocatization as it was observed in the tetrabutylphosphonium salicylate-salicylic acid dimer. A reasonable difference in pKa of about 2 units is therefore necessary to allow a permanent hydrogen exchange between the acids A ¹ and A ² and the inhibition of crystallization.

XVII

Other therapeutic useful combinations of 3 or more active compounds include the antibacterial cation cetylpyridinium in combination with various pharmaceutically active anions: Salicylate is chiefly used in anti-acne formulation, but also in various skin-care products. Ibuprofen is used as an anti-inflammatory and available as over-the-counter analgesic, and clofibric acid is used as lipid-lowering agent. Some specific examples of triple functional ionic liquids that show a melting depression compared to the common dual functional co-ionic liquids include, but are not limited to the combinations cetylpyridinium salicylate-cinammate XV, cetylpyridinium salicylate-ibuprofenate XVI and cetylpyridinium salicylate-clofibrate XVII.

XVIII

Other examples include co-ionic liquids comprising three analgesics compounds, as demonstrated in the compounds lidocaine salicylate-ibuprofenate XVIII and tramadolium salicylate-ibuprofenate XIX. hi another embodiment of the disclosed co-ionic liquids relates to ionic liquids comprising two or more biologically functional compoun sharing one proton with the total charge of +1 and one biological functional anion. Non-limiting examples of this embodiment include combinations of the decongestant ephedrine with two analgesic or anaesthetic compounds, as present in ephedrinium-lidocainium salicylate XX or ephedrinium- lidocainium ibuprofenate XXI. Similarly to dimeric anions, triple functional painkillers can be prepared from 3 analgesic compounds like tramadolium-lidocainium ibuprofenate XXII or tramadolium-lidocainium salicylate XXIII.

XXII XXIII

Despite the fact that lidocaine, tramadole hydrate, ibuprofene and even the conventional salt tramadolium ibuprofenate are solid at room temperature the co-ionic liquid of the type [B ¹ HB ² ] A was obtained as clear liquid with a glass transition temperature at -37 °C. Synergistic (enhanced efficiency) as previously described for API ionic liquids, e.g. in lidocainium docusate are very likely in these multiple-compound ionic liquids and allow modulation of properties by judicious choice of cation/anions with the desired activities.

Other therapeutically useful combinations include ionic liquids comprised of the decongestant ephedrine and the common antiemetic and antihistaminic promethazine, a combination of promethazine and ephedrine that is established against e.g. seasickness. Triple functional ionic liquids can be obtained in combination with an emollient anion like docusate XXIV or with salicylicylate XXV. It notable that these triple- functional ionic liquids are not limited to stoichiometric mixtures of the three active compounds in the ratio 1:1:1, but allow individual dosing of a selected compounds, as would be present in the co- ionic liquid promethazine-ephedrinium docusate in the ratio 0.5:1:1.

XXV

In a further aspect, this invention relates to solvent- free methods of preparation for co- ionic liquids. The synthesis of double- or multiple functional co-ionic liquids can be easily achieved by stirring additional acid or base with the conventional API IL in an appropriate solvent that dissolves both starting materials, e.g. reaction of cetylpyridinium salicylate and salicylic acid in acetone. Alternatively, if the cation is available as hydroxide salt, direct reaction with the appropriate excess of one ore more acids in a co-solvent will directly give rise to co-ionic liquids of the type B[A ¹ HA ² ], as demonstrated with tetrabutylphosphonium salicylate-salicylic acid. However, methods of preparation also include solvent-free techniques, e.g. grinding or reaction in molten state. Solid tetrabutylphoshonium salicylate and salicylic acid can be easily liquefied by simple grinding in a mortar or by melting the solid tetrabutylphoshonium salicylate and salicylic acid to obtain the liquid tetrabutylphosphonium salicylate-salicylic acid. This solvent-free preparation technique can be even expanded to the preparation of triple-functional co-ionic liquids directly from the acid/base precursors: Grinding of solid lidocaine, ibuprofenic acid and salicylic acid for 15 minutes at room temperature gave the liquid lidocainium-ibuprofenate-salicylate salt of the type B[A ¹ HA ² ]. Similarly, if the melting points of at least one of the starting materials or the product are below the decomposition temperature of the API-IL, the pharmaceutically active co-ionic liquids can be prepared in molten state from the acid-base precursors, as it was demonstrated with the system ephedrinium-salicylate 3:1. IONIC LIQUID PRODRUGS

This invention relates to the use of ionic liquids for immobilization, delivery, and controlled release of pharmaceutically active liquid or low melting salt compositions. The present invention is based upon the discovery that active compounds, especially pharmaceuticals, can be covalently linked with ionic structural moiety and turned into an ionic liquid by appropriate choice of the counter ion.

Current methods for the modification of the physical properties of solid drugs rely mainly on its transformation into a salt; however, this is limited to acidic or basic pharmaceutically active compounds. The term "active compound" is used to include any pharmaceutically or biologically active compound, but also nutritional, fragrance or flavour compound, as long as a functional group, typically a hydroxy or amine group, is present to covalently attach this compound on the ionic structure. Thus the neutral compound can be transferred into salts, wherein the active compound is immobilized as part of the ionic liquid in either positive or negative charge.

The term "linking unit" comprises a spacer to attach the neutral active compound to the charged moiety, thus it must possess two reactive positions. In the present invention, linking is achieved by esterification of the neutral active compound with a halogenated acid chloride, e.g. chloroacetyl chloride that can be further alkylated with any cation precursor to transfer the neutral compound into a charged species. The labile ester bond allows cleaving the prodrug and liberating the active compound under defined conditions that include, but are not limited to hydrolysis, pH-dependent cleavage, enzymatic hydrolysis, thermical cleavage or photo cleavage. However, the linking unit is not limited to ester functionalities; basically, any functional group that can be cleaved under defined conditions can be used as linking unit. Examples include, but are not limited to esters, amides, acetals, diorthoesters, vinylethers, dithiols or azo conjugates.

The term "ionic moiety" can include both cationic or anionic groups covalently attached to the active compound. In case of cations, conventional ionic liquids structural motives include, but are not limited to, quaternary ammonium or phosphonium compounds like imidazolium, pyridinium, pyrrolidinium. Special emphasis has to be put pharmaceutically acceptable cationsthat will leave approved materials after cleavage, e.g. alkylation with trimethylamine will leave betaine after hydrolysis and release of the active compound. The role of this cationic group is, however not limited to conventional ionic liquid cations, it is also possible to attach the neutral active compound to a second, charged active compound.

Alternatively, in case of immobilization of the neutral compound on the anion, any functional group bearing a negative charge can be chosen. Examples include, but are not limited to carboxylates, sulphates, sulphonates or phosphonates.

The term "counter ion" can include both cations and anions, including pharmaceutical or biological active compounds. The role of the counterion is to control the physilogical properties of the ionic liquid composition, such as liquid range, hydrophobicity and lipophilicity, melting point, etc. In the current invention, the ionic liquid acts not only as support for the active compounds, being able to store pharmaceuticals in inactive form but also allow a simple tuning of physical properties of compounds that cannot be directly transferred into salts.

This invention provides in a first aspect a synthetic methodology to transfer neutral compounds into liquid salts to overcome polymorphism, overcome solubility and delivery problems, to control release rates, add functionality, enhance efficacy (synergy), and improve ease of use and manufacture. It has been discovered that the physical properties of the active compound are depending both on the type of ionic liquid ion used for immobilization but also on the counter ion. An appropriate choice of the counter ion can therefore be used to dramatically change solubility of the parent compound or turn hydrophilic salts into hydrophobic salts.

This ionic liquid prodrug approach provides an opportunity to model release kinetics of the active compound on the structure. The choice of linking unit, the covalently attached ionic moiety and the counter ion can all be used to design a prodrug that is labile under defined conditions only. For example, in the present invention it has been demonstrated that a change of ionic liquid unit covalently attached to the active compound can dramatically influence drug release. Specifically, the ionic liquid prodrugs can be considered as versatile liquid delivery systems with a wide range of tuneable properties for neutral compounds.

The invention also provides the possibility to form dual functioning salts by introduction of a second, pharmaceutically or biologically active counter ion or a second, charged active compound. Prodrug decomposition will than provide a neutral and a charged active compound in exactly the same dosage. This invention also includes triple-functional salts, wherein a neutral active compound is covalently attached to a second, charged active compounds, replace to the typical structural elements that are present in ionic liquids, e.g. imidazolium cations. The constitution of which, can then be paired with a third charged active compounds, which will result in the delivery of 3 active compounds in the same dosage.

Specific examples in the current invention include ionic liquids prodrugs based on acetaminophen, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug used for the relief of fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains. The phenol proton is not acidic enough to form a stable anion and pair it with appropriate cations; however, we demonstrated that our ionic liquid prodrug strategy can be used to transfer acetaminophen in a stable liquid salt.

IONIC LIQUID SUPPORTED FRAGRANCES

This invention relates to the use of ionic liquids for storage and controlled release of volatile compounds, especially fragrances and flavors as liquid salt compositions. The present invention is based upon the discovery that volatile compounds can be covalently linked with ionic structural moiety and turned into an ionic liquid by appropriate choice of the counter ion.

Current methods to issue the loss of volatile frangance or flavour compounds address specific delivery systems like microcapsules and carriers for long-lasting scents.

In the current invention, the ionic liquid acts not only as support for the active compounds, being able to store fragrances and flavors or, in general volatile compounds in non- volatile form but also allows a simple tuning of release conditions.

This invention provides in a first aspect a synthetic methodology to transfer neutral volatile compounds into liquid salts to modify physical properties, avoid evaporation, overcome solubility and delivery problems, to control release rates, add functionality, and improve ease of use, storage and manufacture. It has been discovered that the physical properties of the active compound are depending both on the type of ionic liquid ion used for immobilization, the linking unit but also on the counter ion. The term "active compound" is used to include any active compound, but especially nutritional, fragrance or flavor compound, as long as a functional group, typically a hydroxy or amine group, is present to covalently attach this compound on the ionic structure. Thus the neutral compound can be transferred into a low- volatile salt, wherein the active compound is immobilized as part of the ionic liquid in either positive or negative charge. Examples include, but are not limited to fragrance alcohols like geraniol, menthol, prenol, citronellol or farnesol. The term "linker" comprises a spacing unit to attach the neutral active compound to the charged moiety, thus it must possess two reactive positions. For specific examples in the present invention, linking is achieved by esterifϊcation of a fragrance alcohol with a halogenated acid chloride, e.g. chloroacetyl chloride that can be further alkylated with any cation precursor to transfer the neutral compound into a charged species. The labile ester bond allows cleaving the prodrug and liberating the neutral active compound under defined conditions that include, but are not limited to hydrolysis, pH-dependent cleavage, enzymatic hydrolysis, thermical cleavage, photo cleavage or electrodecomposition.

However, the linking unit is not limited to ester functionalities; basically, any functional group that can be cleaved under defined conditions can be used as linking unit. Examples include, but are not limited to esters, amides, acetals, diorthoesters, vinylethers, dithiols or azo conjugates.

The selection of a particular linker, ionic group and counterion depends on the nature of the product in which the delivery system is to be used as well as on the kind of release mechanism required. For example, in the present invention it has been demonstrated that a change of linking unit can lead to different release systems. Specifically, the ionic liquid compositions can be considered as smart retention and delivery devices for triggered release of fragrance, flavour or any other volatile compound.

By example, the typical fragrance alcohol geraniol can be reacted with chloroacetyl chloride as linking unit and further alkylated with N-methylimidazol to the quaternary imidazolium salt 3, which provides, as any ionic liquid neglible volatility. Further ion exchange to docusate 4 can dramatically change physical properties, e.g. solubility and turn a hydrophilic chloride salt 3 into a hydrophobic liquid.

24 h

Ionic liquid-supported hydrophobic fragrance 4 shows, as typically for any ionic liquid, neglible volatility but can be decomposed by means of heat only to liberate geraniol (Fig. 6).

Food and pharmaceutical regulations restrict the palette of material used for sustained release. The invention also includes example for immobilization of the active compound on the anion of the ionic liquid delivery system, which can be completely composed of GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) compounds. A typical example of this type of ionic liquid delivery system includes the immobilization of fragrance alcohols as hemisuccinates that can be further deprotonated with any basic component, e.g. hydroxides of quaternary amines to give an ionic liquid.

Cleavage of ionic liquid immobilized fragrance 6 by the process of acidic, basic or enzymatic ester hydrolysis will release the fragrance and leave only choline (a vitamine) and succinic acid, a compound that is generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

The invention also provides the possibility to form dual functioning salts by introduction of a second active counter ion or a second, charged active compound. Ionic liquid decomposition will than provide a neutral and a charged active fragrance or flavour in exactly the same dosage. This invention also includes triple-functional salts, wherein a neutral active compound is covalently attached to a second, charged active compounds, replace to the typical structural elements that are present in ionic liquids, e.g. imidazolium cations. The constitution of which, can then be paired with a third charged active compounds, which will result in the delivery of 3 active compounds in the same rate and dosage.

The low ionicity nature of the ionic liquid is demonstrated via the Walden plot according to the discussion of Fraser et al (Chem Commun 2007). Data for this compound are plotted in Figure 7 which shows that it lies 2 log units below the reference line, suggesting the degree of ionicity is only approximately 1 %. With addition of 25 weight % water, ΔW value decreased. This is true for all of the propantheline /»-toluenesulfonate / water systems studied. With the increasing water content the ΔW seems to become approximately constant perhaps indicating that full dissociation had been reached.
