This study was undertaken to develop tablets of diazepam-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex that disintegrate within 3 minutes and release 85% of drug within 30 minutes to provide rapid action of the drug through oro-mucosal route. Formation of inclusion complex was verified using X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetric studies. Enhanced of aqueous solubility, as ev...

Advantages of the supercritical fluid (SCF) process compared to the conventional solution stirring method (CSSM) in the preparation of daidzein-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) complexes were investigated. Formation of daidzein/ HPβCD inclusion complexes was confirmed by Fourier transformed-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and sc...

A new type of chitosan/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin composite membrane have been developed for the encapsulation and controlled release of gallic acid. The morphology of the composite membrane was investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), whereas swelling gallic acid and release properties were investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy. The release be...

Low concentrations of cyclodextrins (< 1.0 mM) added to serum act catalytically, accelerating the exchange of cholesterol between cells and lipoproteins. J774 macrophages incubated with serum and 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (< or = 1 mM) released fivefold more labeled cholesterol than with serum alone. Increased efflux was not accompanied by a change in cell cholesterol mass; thus, cyclod...

paracetamol is a sparingly soluble bitter tasting drug. it is widely used as an analgesic and antipyretic. complexation of drug with different cyclodextrins (?, ? and hp-?-cd) was attempted to improve solubility of paracetamol. during the drug excipient interaction studies, ?, ? cyclodextrins elicited analytical interference and showed considerable absorbance at ?max (243.5 nm) of paracetamol w...

The dispersion routes of cyclodextrin complexes with nicardipine (NC), such as hydrophilic hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (NC/HPβCD) and hydrophobic triacetyl-β-cyclodextrin (NC/TAβCD), through the body for controlled drug delivery and sustained release have been examined. The two-compartment pharmacokinetic model described the mechanisms of how the human body handles with ingestion of NC-cyclode...

A simple and cost-effective method for the synthesis of sulfated β-cyclodextrin, one most widely used chiral mobile phase additives, using sulfamic acid as a sulfonating agent has been described. The was optimized, synthesized product characterized by spectroscopic, size-exclusion chromatographic, thermal, microscopic methods compared to marketed Sigma Aldrich β-cyclodextrin. β-Cyclodextrin, hy...

Chiroptical spectroscopy is one of the most developing areas of chiral analysis which role has been enhanced in recent years. In the thesis new applications of circular dichroism (CD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) methods are presented via some examples. A quick and accurate CD spectroscopic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of ethisterone and its delta5-isomer (de...

Cyclodextrins are capable of forming non-covalent host-guest inclusion complexation with variety of molecules in order to enhance water-solubility and thermal stability of such hydrophobic and volatile molecules. Menthol, an efficient antibacterial and flavour/fragrance agent, is used in various applications like food, pharmacy, cosmetics, however, its low water-solubility and high volatility s...

The effect of various concentrations of hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin (HPb-CD) on the reversed-phase thin-layer chromatographic mobility of some low molecular mass peptides was measured in distilled water and in 0.05 M of LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl, and CsCl solutions, and the relative strength of HP-b-CD–peptide interaction has been calculated from the dependence of retention on the concentration of...
