Objective: To synthesize inclusion complexes of oral antidiabetic drugs, i.e., Glipizide (GP) and Gliclazide (Glc) with a-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and varying the pH which will enhance the solubility and thereby oral bioavailability of the drugs.Methods: Liquid inclusion complexes were prepared and characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopic studies, and fluorescent studies solid inclusion complexes of GP and Glc with α-CD were prepared by co-evaporation method and characterized by differential scanning calorimetric studies (DSC) and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies ( 1 H NMR).
Results:The inclusion complexes of both GP and Glc with α-CD showed high binding constant values for pH 2 from the UV-VIS spectroscopy studies and fluorescent studies. DSC and 1 H NMR spectroscopic studies confirmed the inclusion of GP and Glc inside the α-CD cavity.
Conclusion:Formed with more stable inclusion complexes, with α-CD are GP and Glc at pH 2, along with pH modulation could be a suitable strategy to enhance the solubility and oral bioavailability of both the drugs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
