Abstract: | The effect of the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) on their complexation behavior with trimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (TM-β-CD) has been investigated. Flurbiprofen or naproxen,
the solubility of which is lower than that of ibuprofen, was mixed with TM-β-CD and the complexation phenomena on SC-CO2 processing was evaluated using powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and IR measurement. Drug complexation
depended both on SC-CO2 treatment time and on drug solubility in CO2. The inclusion complex formation of flurbiprofen with TM-β-CD proceeded slowly compared with the case of ibuprofen. The slower
complexation behavior was also observed when naproxen was used as the guest molecule. These results indicate that dissolution
of drug molecules in SC-CO2 is a rate-determining step for the inclusion complex formation with TM-β-CD and that complexation proceeds after dissolving
the both components in SC-CO2. |
