This study utilized temperature-variable nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to investigate the effects of a solubilizing agent on the ketoprofen (KTP) supersaturation region. Quantitative NMR analysis showed that the solubilizing agent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) increased both the crystalline and amorphous solubilities of KTP, shifting the KTP supersaturation region to a higher KTP concentration range. The amorphous solubility of KTP was found to be independent of the enantiomeric composition of KTP, even in the presence of CTAB. However, the supersaturation region of theS-enantiomer of KTP (s-KTP) in CTAB solutions was smaller than that of the racemic form of KTP (rac-KTP), likely because of the higher crystalline solubility of s-KTP. When KTP formed a KTP-rich phase via liquid–liquid phase separation from KTP-supersaturated solutions, CTAB was observed to be distributed into the KTP-rich phase, decreasing the chemical potential of KTP and the maximum thermodynamic activity of KTP in the aqueous phase. Additionally, the incorporation of CTAB into the KTP-rich phase diminished the solubilization effect of CTAB micelles in the aqueous phase, narrowing the KTP supersaturation region to a greater extent at higher KTP dose concentrations. Furthermore, the upper-temperature limit of the supersaturated dissolvable region of KTP was lowered in the presence of CTAB, which was rationalized by the melting point depression of the KTP crystal upon mixing with CTAB. The findings of this study highlight the importance of considering the molecular-level impact of solubilizing agents on the drug supersaturation region to fully exploit the potential benefits of supersaturated formulations.
