Formulation of silymarin binary and ternary solid dispersions: Characterization, simulation study and cell viability assessment against lung cancer cell line. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23221. [PMID: 38163135 PMCID: PMC10756988 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Silymarin (SL) is a water-insoluble flavonoid used in the treatment of different diseases, but its therapeutic activity is limited due to its low solubility. So, in the present study, SL solid dispersions (SDs) were developed using different carriers like Kollidone VA64 (KL), Soluplus (SP), and Poloxamer 188 (PL) by solvent evaporation (SE), microwave irradiation (MI), and freeze-drying (FD) methods. The phase solubility and saturation solubility studies were assessed to estimate the stability constant as well as the carrier effect. The dissolution studies were performed for prepared SL-SDs (binary and ternary) to select the optimum SL-SDs. The selected SL-SDs (F5, F9) were further characterized for infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Finally, the comparative cell viability assay (lung cancer cell line) was performed to evaluate the change in activity after the formulation of SDs. The phase solubility and solubility study results displayed marked enhancements in solubility. The dissolution study findings showed significant enhancement in drug release from ternary solid dispersions (F7-F9) > ternary physical mixture (PM3) > binary solid dispersions (F1-F6) > binary physical mixture (PM1, PM2) in comparison to free SL. A greater release was observed from ternary SDs due to the addition of PL in the formulation, which had a synergistic effect on increasing the solubility. IR and NMR spectra revealed no chemical interaction between SL, KL, and PL. DSC, XRD, and SEM all confirmed the transformation of crystalline SL into amorphous SL. The cell viability assay demonstrated significantly enhanced results from ternary solid dispersion (F9) compared to free SL. Based on the study results, it can be said that SL-SDs are an alternative way to deliver drugs orally that can improve solubility and have anti-cancer activity.

In Vitro Wound Healing Potential of a Fibroin Film Incorporating a Cannabidiol/2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Complex. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2682. [PMID: 38140022 PMCID: PMC10747745 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15122682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to develop a film dressing prepared by incorporating a complex of cannabidiol and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CBD/HP-β-CD) into a fibroin-based film and to investigate its wound healing capabilities. The fibroin from silkworm cocoons exhibited a total protein content of 96.34 ± 0.14% w/w and a molecular weight range of 25 to 245 kDa. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed the presence of characteristic amide peaks (I, II, and III) in the isolated fibroin. The CBD/HP-β-CD complex, prepared with a molar ratio of 1:2 (CBD to HP-β-CD), had 81.5 ± 1.2% w/w CBD content, as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FTIR analyses demonstrated successful encapsulation of CBD's hydrophobic aromatic rings by HP-β-CD. Blending the fibroin solution with the CBD/HP-β-CD complex produced a transparent, slightly yellowish film. Mechanical testing revealed a tensile strength of 48.67 ± 2.57 MPa and a % elongation at a break of 1.71 ± 0.21%. XRD and FTIR analyses showed distinctive crystalline and chemical structures of the film. In subsequent in vitro experiments with normal human dermal fibroblasts, the film demonstrated potential for wound healing. An increase in cell division (G2/M phase) was observed compared to the fibroin film without the CBD/HP-β-CD complex. Additionally, fibroblasts treated with the film exhibited enhanced cell migration in a scratch assay and increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor protein compared to the control group. Overall, these findings underscore the film's potential for enhancing wound healing outcomes.

Characterization, Preparation, and Promotion of Plant Growth of 1,3-Diphenylurea/β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives Inclusion Complexes. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:34972-34981. [PMID: 37779935 PMCID: PMC10536069 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c04428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to prepare inclusion complexes of 1,3-diphenylurea (DPU) with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-βCD) using a three-dimensional ground mixture (3DGM). Their physicochemical properties, intermolecular interactions, solubilities, and plant growth-promoting activities were investigated on broccoli sprouts. Phase-solubility diagrams indicated the stability constant (Ks) and complexation efficiency (CE) of βCD/DPU were found to be K1/1 = 250 M-1, CE = 2.48× 10-3. The Ks and CEs of HP-βCD/DPU were found to be K1/1 = 427 M-1, CE = 3.93 × 10-3 and K2/1 = 196 M-1, CE = 1.93 × 10-3 respectively. The powder X-ray diffraction results of 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 2/1, HP-βCD/DPU = 2/1) showed that the diffraction peaks originating from the DPU and βCD disappeared, indicating a halo pattern. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed an endothermic peak at 244 °C derived from the melting point of DPU, but the endothermic peak disappeared in the 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 2/1, HP-βCD/DPU = 2/1). Near-infrared absorption spectra showed peak shifts in 3DGM (βCD/DPU and HP-βCD/DPU) at the -CH and -NH groups of DPU and the -OH groups of βCDs and free water. In the dissolution test (after 5 min), the concentration of intact DPU was 0.083 μg/mL. However, the dissolution concentrations of DPU in the 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 1/1), 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 2/1), 3DGM (HP-βCD/DPU = 1/1), and 3DGM (HP-βCD/DPU = 2/1) were 3.27, 3.64, 5.70, and 7.03 μg/mL, respectively, indicating higher solubility than that of the intact DPU. Further, 1H-1H NOESY NMR spectroscopic measurements showed cross-peaks between H-A (7.32 ppm) and H-B (7.12 ppm) of DPU and H-6 (3.79 ppm) in the βCD cavity of the 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 2/1). A cross-peak was also observed among DPU H-A (7.32 ppm), H-B (7.11 ppm), and H-6 (3.78 ppm) in the βCD cavity. The results of the broccoli sprout cultivation experiment showed that 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 1/1), 3DGM (βCD/DPU = 2/1), 3DGM (HP-βCD/DPU = 1/1), and 3DGM (HP-βCD/DPU = 2/1) increased the stem thickness compared with that of the control group (DPU). These results indicated that the βCD/DPU and HP-βCD/DPU inclusion complexes were formed by the three-dimensional mixing and milling method, which enhanced the solubility and plant growth-promoting effects.

Sustained release of brimonidine from polydimethylsiloxane-coating silicone rubber implant to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma. Regen Biomater 2023; 10:rbad041. [PMID: 37303848 PMCID: PMC10247868 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbad041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, affecting 111 million people by 2040 worldwide. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only controllable risk factor for the disease and current treatment options seek to reduce IOP via daily taking eye drops. However, shortcomings of eye drops, such as poor bioavailability and unsatisfied therapeutic effects, may lead to inadequate patient compliance. In this study, an effective brimonidine (BRI)-loaded silicone rubber (SR) implant coated with polydimethylsiloxane (BRI@SR@PDMS) is designed and fully investigated for IOP reduction treatment. The in vitro BRI release from BRI@SR@PDMS implant reveals a more sustainable trend lasting over 1 month, with a gradually declined immediate drug concentration. The carrier materials show no cytotoxicity on human corneal epithelial cells and mice corneal epithelial cells in vitro. After administrated into rabbit's conjunctival sac, the BRI@SR@PDMS implant releases BRI in a sustained fashion and effectively reduces IOP for 18 days with great biosafety. In contrast, BRI eye drops only maintain IOP-lowering effect for 6 h. Therefore, as a substitute of eye drops, the BRI@SR@PDMS implant can be applied as a promising non-invasive platform to achieve long-term IOP-lowering in patients suffering from ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

Formulation of Multicomponent Chrysin-Hydroxy Propyl β Cyclodextrin-Poloxamer Inclusion Complex Using Spray Dry Method: Physicochemical Characterization to Cell Viability Assessment. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15121525. [PMID: 36558976 PMCID: PMC9788470 DOI: 10.3390/ph15121525] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The work aimed to enhance chrysin (CHR) water solubility, dissolution, and in vitro antibacterial as well as cell viability. Chrysin binary, as well as ternary inclusion complex, were prepared using the spray drying method. The influence of an auxiliary component (poloxamer; PLX) was also assessed after being incorporated into the chrysin HP βCD complex (CHR-BC) and formed as a chrysin ternary complex (CHR-TC). The phase solubility investigation was carried out in order to assess the complexation efficiency and stability constant. The samples were assessed for the dissolution test, physicochemical evaluation, antibacterial activity, and cell viability tests were also assessed. The results of the phase solubility investigation showed that the stability constant for the binary system (268 M-1) was lower than the ternary system (720 M-1). The complex stability was validated by the greater stability constant value. The dissolution results showed that pure CHR had a limited release of 32.55 ± 1.7% in 60 min, while prepared CHR-TC and CHR-BC both demonstrated maximum CHR releases of 99.03 ± 2.34% and 71.95 ±2.1%, respectively. The dissolution study's findings revealed that the release of CHR was much improved over that of pure CHR. A study using a scanning electron microscope showed that CHR-TC contains more agglomerated and amorphous components. The higher conversion of crystalline CHR into an amorphous form is responsible for the structural alterations that are observed. After complexation, the distinctive peaks of pure CHR changed due to the complexation with HP βCD and PLX. The antimicrobial and cell viability results revealed improved antimicrobial activity as well as a lower IC50 value than pure CHR against the tested anticancer cell line (MCF7).

Abstract
The goal of this study was to increase the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of sinapic acid (SA) by formulating binary inclusion complex (BIC) of SA with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) using solvent evaporation (SE) technology. The phase solubility and dissolution studies were conducted to determine the solubility and in vitro release rate of SA. In addition, the prepared inclusion complex was characterized for solid state characterization using techniques such as DSC, PXRD, SEM, and FTIR. Moreover, the prepared SA-BIC was evaluated for its antioxidant activity. Results revealed that the SA solubility can be shown to improve with a change in HPβCD concentration. About 2.59 times higher solubility of SA in water was noticed in the presence of HPβCD (10 mM). Dissolution study demonstrated that the 34.11 ± 4.51% of SA was released from binary physical mixture (BPM), while the maximum release of 46.27 ± 2.79% of SA was observed for SA-BIC prepared by SE method. The prepared SA-BIC demonstrated distinctive properties when compared to pure SA, which was demonstrated by different analytical methods, such as DSC, PXRD, SEM, and FTIR, as evidence of SA inclusion into HPβCD cavity. Further, it was observed that SA-BIC displayed stronger DPPH radical scavenging activity than SA. In conclusion, SE technology considerably enhanced the complexity of SA with HPβCD, and these observations could help to heighten the SA solubility, which may lead to a better bioavailability.

Native Cyclodextrins as Complexation Agents for Pterostilbene: Complex Preparation and Characterization in Solution and in the Solid State. Pharmaceutics 2021; 14:pharmaceutics14010008.

Abstract
Pterostilbene (3,5-dimethoxy-4′-hydroxystilbene, PTB) is a natural dietary stilbene, occurring primarily in blueberries and Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood. The interest in this compound is related to its different biological and pharmacological properties, such as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic activities and its capacity to reduce and regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Nevertheless, its use in therapy is hindered by its low aqueous solubility; to overcome this limitation we studied the feasibility of the use of cyclodextrins (CDs) as solubility-enhancing agents. CDs are natural macrocyclic oligomers composed of α-d-glucose units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds to form torus-shaped molecules, responsible for inclusion complex formation with organic molecules. In particular, the aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of complexation between PTB and native CDs using various preparative methods. The isolated solid products were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), simultaneous thermogravimetric/DSC analysis (TGA/DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) on powder and single crystals. The results indicated little or no evidence of the affinity of PTB to complex with α-CD using the kneading method. However, with β-CD and γ-CD thermal analysis revealed an interaction which was also corroborated by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. With β-CD, a hydrated complex of PTB was isolated and its characterization by single-crystal XRD revealed, for the first time, the mode of inclusion of the PTB molecule in the cavity of a CD. To complement the solid-state data, liquid-phase studies were carried out to establish the effect of CDs on the aqueous solubility of PTB and to determine the complex stoichiometries and the association constants for complex formation. Phase-solubility studies showed AL-type profiles for α- and β-CD and a BS profile for γ-CD, with K1:1 values of 1144, 4950, and 133 M−1 for α-CD·PTB, β-CD·PTB, and γ-CD·PTB, respectively. The stoichiometry of CD·PTB complexes, determined by Job’s method, revealed for each system a 1:1 molar ratio. The dissolution rate of PTB was approximately doubled just by employing simple physical mixtures, but the best performance was achieved by products obtained via kneading and co-precipitation, which effected the complete dissolution of PTB in 40 and 20 min for β-CD and γ-CD, respectively.

Abstract
The incidence of corneal fungal infections continues to be a growing concern worldwide. Ocular delivery of anti-fungal drugs is challenging due to the anatomical and physiological barriers of the eye. The ocular bioavailability of ketoconazole (KTZ), a widely prescribed antifungal agent, is hampered by its limited aqueous solubility and permeation. In the study, the physicochemical properties of KTZ were improved by complexation with sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD).KTZ-SBE-β-CD complex was studied in silico with docking and dynamics simulations, followed by wet-lab experiments.The optimized KTZ-SBE-β-CD complex was loaded into a thermosensitivein situ gel to increase corneal bioavailability. The supramolecular complex increased the solubility of KTZ by 5-folds and exhibited a 10-fold increment in drug release compared to the pure KTZ. Owing to the diffusion, thein situ gel exhibited a more sustained drug release profile. Theex vivocorneal permeation studies showed higher permeation from KTZ-SBE-β-CD in situ gel (flux of ∼19.11 µg/cm2/h) than KTZin situ gel (flux of ∼1.17 µg/cm2/h). The cytotoxicity assays and the hen's egg chorioallantoic membrane assay (HET-CAM) confirmed the formulations' safety and non-irritancy. In silico guided design of KTZ-SBE-β-CD inclusion complexes successfully modified the physicochemical properties of KTZ. In addition, the loading of the KTZ-SBE-β-CD complex into an in situ gel significantly increased the precorneal retention and permeation of KTZ, indicating that the developed formulation is a viable modality to treat fungal keratitis.

A review of the berberine natural polysaccharide nanostructures as potential anticancer and antibacterial agents. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 146:112531. [PMID: 34906771 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the promising medicinal properties, berberine (BBR), due to its relatively poor solubility in plasma, low bio-stability and limited bioavailability is not used broadly in clinical stages. Due to these drawbacks, drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on nanoscale natural polysaccharides, are applied to address these concerns. Natural polymers are biodegradable, non-immunogenic, biocompatible, and non-toxic agents that are capable of trapping large amounts of hydrophobic compounds in relatively small volumes. The use of nanoscale natural polysaccharide improves the stability and pharmacokinetics of the small molecules and, consequently, increases the therapeutic effects and reduces the side effects of the small molecules. Therefore, this paper presents an overview of the different methods used for increasing the BBR solubility and bioavailability. Afterwards, the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic of BBR nanostructures were discussed followed by the introduction of natural polysaccharides of plant (cyclodextrines, glucomannan), the shells of crustaceans (chitosan), and the cell wall of brown marine algae (alginate)-based origins used to improve the dissolution rate of poorly soluble BBR and their anticancer and antibacterial properties. Finally, the anticancer and antibacterial mechanisms of free BBR and BBR nanostructures were surveyed. In conclusion, this review may pave the way for providing some useful data in the development of BBR-based platforms for clinical applications.

Abstract
Environmental pollution has brought adverse socio-economic consequences. Organic pollutants and heavy metals are the main culprits of environmental pollution. It is of great importance to develop novel, simple, rapid, sensitive, and low-cost detection approaches for sensing trace pollutants in environmental samples. A lot of detection strategies which are based on varieties of nanomaterials have been developed for environmental analysis in past decades. In this review, we retrospect a variety of nanomaterials decorated with cyclodextrins (CDs), including carbon nanomaterials decorated with CDs, noble metal nanomaterials decorated with CDs and other nanomaterials decorated with CDs, and their application in environmental analysis. CDs is a type of ideal modifying molecules which could recognize targets, improve the solubility and dispersibility of corresponding functionalized materials, and enhance the detecting performance of designed sensors. CDs have been widely immobilized to carbon nanomaterials, noble metal nanomaterials, phosphorene (BP) nanocomposites, metal organic framework (MOF), and magnetic nanomaterials, and these nanocomposites have been utilized as the sensing elements for different target analytes. Immobilizing CDs on different nanomaterials could extremely expand the development of new sensing systems for environmental analysis based on these materials, greatly broaden the species of sensing targets, and apparently improve their sensing performance. Herein, the nanomaterials decorated with CDs, as sensing elements for environmental analysis, were reviewed including the types of nanomaterials decorated with CDs and their applications in various sensing strategies for environmental analysis. Finally, the perspectives of the nanomaterials decorated with CDs used as sensing elements were also discussed.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are naturally available water-soluble cyclic oligosaccharides widely used as carriers in the pharmaceutical industry for their ability to modulate several properties of drugs through the formation of drug-CD complexes. The addition of an auxiliary substance when forming multicomponent complexes is an adequate strategy to enhance complexation efficiency and to facilitate the therapeutic applicability of different drugs. This review discusses multicomponent complexation using amino acids; organic acids and bases; and water-soluble polymers as auxiliary excipients. Special attention is given to improved properties by including information on the solubility, dissolution, permeation, stability and bioavailability of several relevant drugs. In addition, the use of multicomponent CD complexes to enhance therapeutic drug effects is summarized.

Abstract
Amiodarone low solubility and high permeability is the limiting step for its bioavailability, therefore new formulations are needed to improve the solubility of amiodarone either to increase its oral bioavailability or to reduce its toxic effects. Complexation of amiodarone with cyclodextrin results in improved dissolution rate, solubility, and allows for a more controlled drug release. We characterized the acute toxicity of a new amiodarone 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex (AMD/HP-β-CD) as powdered form and as a matrix based on Kollidon® and chitosan, administered intraperitoneally in laboratory animals. There were developed two formulations of matrix: one containing only pure AMD as a control sample (Fc) and one containing the inclusion complex with the optimal solubility (F). AMD was equitoxic with HP-β-CD after intraperitoneal administration (289.4 mg/kg for AMD and 298.3 mg/kg for AMD/HP-β-CD), with corresponding histopathological changes. The matrix based formulations presented higher LD50 values for acute toxicity, of 347.5 mg/kg for Fc and 455.6 mg/kg for F10, conducting to the idea of a safer administration because KOL and CHT matrix modified the solubility and controlled the AMD release. The LD50 is 1.5 higher for AMD/HP-β-CD included in a KOL and CHT based matrix compared to the pure AMD, administered intraperitoneally.

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) on the complexation efficiency and dissolution of piperine (PPR) and β cyclodextrin (β CD) complex. The binary and ternary inclusion complexes were prepared using solvent evaporation and microwave irradiation methods. The samples were further evaluated for physicochemical evaluation, morphology, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. The binary and ternary samples showed high stability constant (Ks) value and complexation efficiency (CE). The dissolution study results revealed marked enhancement in the release of the binary inclusion complex and ternary inclusion complex compared to pure PPR. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular docking results confirm the complex formation. X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data revealed modification in the structure of PPR. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and antimicrobial results showed enhanced activity in the PPR complex in comparison to pure PPR. In conclusion, a remarkable enhancement in dissolution, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were attained due to marked improvement in solubility through complexation of PPR with HPMC/β CD.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to improve the aqueous solubility, dissolution, and antioxidant activity of the water-insoluble drug piperine (PIP). The study was performed by preparing PIP binary inclusion complex (PIP BIC) and piperine ternary inclusion complex (PIP TIC) by different methods. The effect of a hydrophilic auxiliary substance (TPGS) was assessed with addition to PIP and hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin (HP β CD) complex. The phase solubility study was performed to evaluate the complexation efficiency and stability constant. The aqueous solubility, dissolution, physicochemical assessment, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, and molecular docking were further evaluated to check the effect of the complexation of PIP. The stability constant (Ks) value was found to be 238 and 461 M−1 for the binary and ternary inclusion complex. The dissolution study results showed a marked enhancement of release in comparison to pure drug. XRD and SEM studies revealed the presence of more agglomerated and amorphous structures of PIP, which confirmed the formation of complexes. The results of DPPH radical scavenging and antimicrobial activity showed a significant (p < 0.05) enhancement in scavenging activity for PIP TIC (microwave irradiation (MI)). The docking studies have revealed that the binding affinity of TPGS at the PIP-HP β CD complex was −5.2 kcal/mol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a poorly water-soluble benzimidazole fungicide. However, the water solubility of TBZ can be significantly enhanced by inclusion complexation with cyclodextrins. In this study, a thiabendazole/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (TBZ/HPβCD) complex was synthesized and electrospinning was performed to produce a TBZ/HPβCD nanofibrous (TBZ/HPβCD-NF) complex that improved water solubility and antifungal activity. RESULTS The formation of TBZ/HPβCD-NF was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance. The morphology of TBZ/HPβCD-NF was studied by scanning electron microscopy. A phase solubility experiment showed that HPβCD exerted a great solubilization effect on TBZ, and TBZ/HPβCD-NF had better antifungal activity compared to that of TBZ alone. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the solid fungicidal nanodispersion prepared in the present study is a new type of formulation that can enhance the water solubility of TBZ. This formulation, which demonstrated potential as a new fast dissolving formulation type with increased efficacy, is expected to be conducive to the sustainable development of agriculture. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
This research planned to ameliorate an aqueous solubility and dissolution of Curcumin (CUR) by the formulation of inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The phase solubility study was performed to assess the solubility of CUR. The prepared CUR complex assessed for dissolution study, physicochemical evaluation, in-vitro antioxidant activity, molecular modeling, and anti-inflammatory assessment. The pivotal findings of phase-solubility studies demonstrate apparent stability constant (Kc) and complexation efficiency (CE) values for CUR-β-CD and CUR-β-CD-PVP complex was 175.4 M -1, 1.15% and 833.3.2 M -1 and 5.21%, respectively. The characterization results revealed amorphization of crystalline state (CUR) into amorphous state. The maximum drug release found with the ternary CUR complex (F7), i.e. 45.41 ± 3.78% in 6 h study. The chemical shift in the NMR supports that the aromatic ring of CUR is completely complexed inside the β-CD cavity. The antioxidant activity of pure CUR was found to be 58.02 ± 2.21% and CUR ternary complex (F7) showed significantly higher activity to 96.02 ± 2.46%. The in-vivo effect of CUR complex (F7) was also found significantly higher than that of pure CUR. The molecular modeling study depicted that PVP increased the stability of the ternary complex by forming the link between CUR and β-CD. Thus, the ternary inclusion complex of CUR-β-CD-PVP could contribute as an innovative outcome in the enhancement of solubility and in-vivo activity.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates the solubility and dissolution of flufenamic acid (FLF)/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)/Soluplus® supramolecular ternary inclusion complex. The binary and ternary inclusion complexes were prepared using solvent evaporation and the microwave irradiation method. The prepared inclusion complexes were evaluated for physicochemical characterization and anti-inflammatory activity using a murine paw edema mol. The phase solubility studies demonstrated 4.59-fold and 17.54-fold enhancements in FLF solubility with β-CD alone and β-CD:Soluplus® combination compared with pure FLF, respectively. The in vitro drug release results revealed a significant improvement (P < 0.05) in the release pattern compared with pure FLF. Maximum release was found with flufenamic acid binary and ternary complexes prepared using the microwave irradiation method, i.e., 75.23 ± 3.12% and 95.36 ± 3.23% in 60 min, respectively. The physicochemical characterization results showed complex formation and conversion of the crystalline form of FLF to an amorphous form. The SEM study revealed the presence of a more agglomerated and amorphous structure of the solid particles, which confirmed the formation of complexes. The anti-inflammatory effect of the complex was higher than pure FLF. Therefore, the FLF:β-CD:Soluplus® inclusion complex may be a very valuable formulation with improved solubility, dissolution, and anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract
The main aim of the research was to synthesize amphiphilic cyclodextrin (AMCD) by substituting C12 alkyl chain to a β-cyclodextrin (βCD) in a single step and to study its self-assembly in an aqueous medium. The drug delivery application of the AMCD was also evaluated by encapsulating tamoxifen citrate as a model hydrophobic drug. AMCD was able to self-assemble in aqueous media, forming nanovesicles of size < 200 nm, capable of encapsulating tamoxifen citrate (TMX). Molecular docking and MD simulation studies revealed the interaction between TMX and AMCD which formed a stable complex. TEM and AFM studies showed that nanovesicles were perfectly spherical having a smooth surface and a theoretical AMCD bilayer thickness of ~ 7.2 nm as observed from SANS studies. XRD and DSC studies revealed that TMX was amorphized and molecularly dispersed in AMCD bilayer which was released slowly following Fickian diffusion. AMCD has excellent hemocompatibility as opposed to βCD and no genotoxicity. IC50 of TMX against MCF-7 cell lines was significantly reduced from 11.43 to 7.96 μg/ml after encapsulation in nanovesicle because of nanovesicles being endocytosed by the MCF-7 cells. AMCD was well tolerated by IV route at a dose of > 2000 mg/kg in rats. Pharmacokinetic profile of TMX after encapsulation was improved giving 3-fold higher AUC; extended mean residence time is improving chances of nanovesicle to extravasate in tumor via EPR effect.
