Preparação e carcterização de complexos multicomponentes contendo ciclodextrinas e benznidazol

The benznidazole (BNZ) is the only alternative for Chagas disease treatment in Brazil. This drug has low solubility, which restricts its dissolution rate. Thus, the present work aimed to study the BNZ interactions in binary systems with beta cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-beta cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), in order to increase the apparent aqueous solubility of drug. The influence of seven hydrophilic polymers, triethanolamine (TEA) and 1-methyl-2- pyrrolidone (NMP) in benznidazole apparent aqueous solubility, as well as the formation of inclusion complexes was also investigated. The interactions in solution were predicted and investigated using phase solubility diagram methodology, nuclear magnetic resonance of protons (RMN) and molecular modeling. Complexes were obtained in solid phase by spray drying and physicochemical characterization included the UV-Vis spectrophotometric spectroscopy in the infrared region, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and dissolution drug test from the different systems. The increment on apparent aqueous solubility of drug was achieved with a linear type (AL) in presence of both cyclodextrins at different pH values. The hydrophilic polymers and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone contributes to the formation of inclusion complexes, while the triethanolamine decreased the complex stability constant (Kc). The log-linear model applied for solubility diagrams revealed that both triethanolamine and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone showed an action cosolvent (both solvents) and complexing (1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone). The best results were obtained with complexes involving 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and hydroxypropylbeta- cyclodextrin, with an increased of benznidazole solubility in 27.9 and 9.4 times, respectively. The complexes effectiveness was proven by dissolution tests, in which the ternary complexes and physical mixtures involving 1-methyl- 2-pyrrolidone and both cyclodextrins investigated showed better results, showing the potential use as novel pharmaceutical ingredient, that leads to increased benznidazole bioavailability

Interações da trancinolona com ciclodextrinas em sistemas multicomponentes

Triamcinolone is a relevant anti-inflammatory costicosteroid drug, used mainly by injectable suspensions due its poor water solubility. The association of triamcinolone with cyclodextrins and co-solvents (triethanolamine TEA and N-methylpirrolidone NMP) was held to solubilize the drug and explain the involved interactions. Phase-solubility diagrams showed that triamcinolone was solubilized forming incredible stable complexes with cyclodextrins, in which bests results were observed applying randomyl-methylated-beta-cyclodextrin (RMβCD) (161 fold on increased solubility). The co-solvents TEA and NMP also enhanced drug solubility 1.4 and 6.7 fold, respectively. The association of both co-solvents with CDs seems decreased complexation stability, but enables higher amount of uncomplexed drug. Experimental magnetic resonance 2D-ROESY and theoretical molecular modeling studies demonstrated TRI-CDs interactions and elucidated the structure of formed complex, which occurred due to the inclusion of ring A of TRI on CDs cavity. Physicochemical aspects of solid binary and ternary complexes prepared by spray drying were assessed by using FTIR, X-ray diffraction and SEM photographs. Dissolution studies showed that binary and ternary associations presented higher dissolution efficacy in detrimental to pure drug system. In addition, the ternary complex containing TEA and RMβCD allowed drug dissolution faster than binary complex with RMβCD. Therefore, given the higher solubility and drug dissolution rate, binary and ternary complexes are new raw materials with great potential for pharmaceuticals containing triamcinolone.
