In the present study, an inclusion complex composed of hydrocortisone acetate (HA) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) was prepared according phases solubility diagram of Higuchi & Connors and by a method described by with minor modifications to improve the HA water solubility. This new method improved percentage of inclusion reaching the maximum percentage of inclusion (91.52±0.92%) using 5.75mM HA and 135mM HPβCD. This percentage of inclusion was higher than that found by Filipović-Grcić J et al.[1] which was 25%. The complex HA/HPβCD was characterized by 1 H-NMR through chemical shifts in 1 H NMR spectra after the inclusion of HA into the HPβCD cavity, especially H-3, H-5 and H-6 protons was observed to the formation of molecular inclusion complex. Other technique used to characterize the inclusion complex was FT-IR, which showed in the FT-IR spectra of inclusion complex no features bands similar to pure HA molecule; the spectrum is very similar to the HPβCD. The molecular modeling studies results are in agreement with the experimental data that estimates a HA/HPβCD molar ratio of 1:1. The calculated apparent stability constant (K S ) was 484 M -1. The results indicate that the HA/HPβCD inclusion complex is more water soluble than HA crystalline powder (pure), the AH solubility was increased on the order of 64 times.
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.
