Availability of NSAIDH beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes.

The diffusion of a series of non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs through a silicone rubber membrane has been studied from suspensions both of the free and beta-cyclodextrin complexes forms at different pH values of the medium. Higher diffusion rates of the complexed forms as compared with the free ones and a rate-limiting effect of the apparent stability constant in the diffusion of the complexes were observed.

Diffusion of ketoprofen from coprecipitates through a non porous lipidic membrane.

The effect of inclusion with beta-cyclodextrin or hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin on the diffusion kinetics of Ketoprofen through a non porous lipidic membrane was analyzed starting from different dermal bases: a Carbopol gel, o/w emulsion and a fatty ointment. A constant diffusive gradient was achieved with the included forms at each concentration of the active principle in the vehicle. This suggests that the complex controls the diffusable form, according to its stability constant. The following sequence was observed for the diffusion rate: Carbopol gel greater than o/w emulsion greater than fatty ointment appears to depend mainly on the membrane/vehicle partition coefficient.

Dissolution and partition thermodynamic functions of some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Solubility values of a selected group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been determined in water and 1-octanol as a function of temperature. Thermodynamic functions of dissolution and partition have been calculated and discussed with respect to various physical parameters of each solute and the two solvents. The calculated solubility values show good agreement with the experimental values. The analysis of the experimental solubility values of these compounds in terms of solid-state contribution and solute-solvent interaction suggests the different importance of these parameters in promoting solubility of solid nonelectrolytes.
