The most widely used natural cyclodextrin, β-CD, is limited drugs across biological barriers is its dissolution rate. All the have been synthesized to overcome this problem. Examples new chemical entities (~70%) entering into the drug discovery solubility (1.85 g/100 ml). Therefore, chemically modified β-CDs media to allow consistent gastrointestinal absorption of high include heptakis-(2, 6-O-dimethyl) (DM-β-CD), hydroxypropyl-β- orderprogramme of magnitude do not exhibit required sufficiently for further solubility therapeutic in the activities. physiological The CD Literature(HP-β-CD) andlacks sulphobutylether-β-CD any data about the (SBECD)effect of [17,18]. RAL-SBECD solubility of a drug in the GI tract is governed by multiple factors complexation to enhance the solubility and dissolution rate. RAL- and is inherently a complex phenomenon often resulting in erratic SBECD inclusion complexation was investigated to evaluate its absorption of poorly soluble drugs. Therefore, it is important to introduce effective methods to enhance the solubility and RAL and SBECD by phase solubility. Characterization of complex dissolution rate of the drug aiming to improve its bioavailability, impact on solubility of RAL. We confirmed the stoichiometry of increase the predictability of the response and/or reduce the We evaluated the solubilization effect of SBECD on RAL by in dose. To overcome these problems, various approaches have vitroand its release evaluation study. was An byattempt XRD, FTIR,was made SEM, HSMto investigate and TEM theanalysis. host- been developed, such as pro-drugs, addition of surfactants, salt guest interaction by in silico molecular modeling studies, which selection, particle size reduction, solid dispersion [1-3] inclusion essentially involve determining the ease which RAL can be docked complexes with cyclodextrins and phospholipid complex [4-6]. within the CD molecule. Complexation with cyclodextrins (CDs) has been widely used to enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs by increasing Materials and Methods the drug solubility, dissolution and/or permeability [6-15].
