Abstract

The effect of the type of cyclodextrin (α-, β-, γ-,hydroxypropyl-β-CD) and of hydroxyacid (tartaric, citric, gluconic,malic, lactic) on the solubility enhancement by multicomponent complexationof econazole, a poorly water soluble base-type drug, was studied. A synergisticeffect was found in ternary systems, largely more effective than correspondingbinary complexes and salts. Moreover, the presence of a third component madeeffective the use of γ-CD, which had no solubilizing power in binarysystems. The solubilizing efficiency of multicomponent systems was not relatedto the solubilities of the corresponding salts or binary complexes. Phase-solubility analysis at different temperatures was also used to investigate the interaction of econazole with cyclodextrins, alone or in the presence of hydroxyacid. The best 1 : 1 : 1 molar ratio system was that with α-CD and malic acid which showed the best solubilizing power and the highest stability constant of the ternary complex.Ternary α-CD products, prepared by co-grinding, co-evaporation or colyophilization, were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and tested for dissolution properties. The higher solubilizing properties of multicomponent systems were reflected in better drug dissolution rates from their solid systems.
