The objectives of the present investigation were to prepare and characterize solid inclusion complexes of Etodolac (ETD) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in order to study the effect of complexation on the dissolution rate of ETD, a hydrophobic guest molecule. Phase solubility curve was classified as a typical AL-type for the cyclodextrins (CD’s), showing that soluble complex was formed. The inclusion complexes in the molar ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 (β-CD–ETD) were prepared by various methods such as kneading, co-evaporation and in molar ratio of 1:1 by spray dried technique respectively. The molecular behaviors of ETD in all samples were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies and Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results of these studies indicated that complexes prepared by kneading, co-evaporation and spray drying techniques showed inclusion of the ETD molecule into the CD’s cavities. The highest improvement in in vitro dissolution profiles was observed in complexes prepared with spray dried technique. Mean in vitro dissolution time indicated significant difference between the release profiles of ETD from complexes and physical mixtures and from pure ETD.
本研究旨在制备和表征

水性客体分子
依托度酸溶解速率的影响。
环糊精(CD)的相溶解度曲线属于典型的 AL 型,表明形成了可溶性络合物。摩尔比为 1:1 和 1:2 的包合物(β-CD-ETD)分别采用捏合、共蒸发等不同方法制备,摩尔比为 1:1 的包合物则采用喷雾干燥技术制备。通过核磁共振(NMR)光谱、傅立叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱、差示扫描量热法(
DSC)、粉末 X 射线衍射(PXRD)研究和扫描电子显微镜(
SEM)分析,对所有样品中 ETD 的分子行为进行了表征。这些研究结果表明,通过捏合、共蒸发和喷雾干燥技术制备的复合物显示出 ETD 分子包含在 CD 的空腔中。在采用喷雾干燥技术制备的复合物中,体外溶解曲线的改善幅度最大。平均体外溶解时间表明,复合物和物理混合物中的 ETD 释放曲线与纯 ETD 释放曲线之间存在显著差异。
