A study of the interaction of cefalexine monohydrate (CLM) with Cetyldimethylethylammonium Bromide (CDMEAB) has been carried out by conductance measurements in aqueous medium and in aqueous solution of salts over temperature range of 303.15 K to 318.15 K. From conductivity versus surfactant concentration plots, two critical micelle concentrations c 1 and c 2 were obtained for both CDMEAB and CLM.CDMEAB systems in all the cases. The changes of c. values of CDMEAB in the presence of CLM is indicative of the interaction between CLM and CDMEAB. For the CLM.CDMEAB system, the values of c 1 are lower and c 2 values are higher in magnitude compared to that of pure CDMEAB in water over the range in temperature studied. In aqueous solutions of KCl and K2SO4, the decrease of c. values indicates the favour of micellization of CLM.CDMEAB system. The DG0 m values are negative and the spontaneity of micellization process is found to increase with increase of temperature. The values of DH0 1,m and DS0 1,m indicate that the drug mediated CDMEAB aggregation is both enthalpy and entropy controlled while DH0 2,m and DS0 2,m values indicate entropy driven micellization. The results indicate that binding interactions between CLM and CDMEAB are both electrostatic and hydrophobic in nature while the contribution of hydrophobic interaction is dominant at higher temperature. The linear correlation between DH0 m and DS0 m values is observed in all cases.
