It is believed that the interaction of the dye, drug and surfactant occurs due to hydrophobic interaction. Modern research shows that it has a quantum nature with the participation of the Nuclear quantum effect.

The Piroxicam molecule has practically no charge in water, therefore, the solubilization in L-81 (nonionic surfactant) and SDS (anionic surfactant) micelles is due, as Mirgorod pointed out, mainly due to hydrophobic interaction, which can be supplemented by the formation of an H-bond with oxygen included in surfactant molecules, especially L-81. Both types of interaction do not lead to significant changes in the electronic spectrum, which was observed by the author. I do not agree that the band with a maximum of 353 nm refers to the n-pi transition, this is a pi-pi transition, since the bands of the n-pi transition are 100-1000 times less intense. The methylene blue molecule has a cationic charge and, upon interaction with the SDS micelle, an electrostatic interaction will appear, which will lead to a change in the electronic spectrum of the dye both due to this effect and a shift in the dye monomer-dimer equilibrium.
