Abstract
Solid combinations of naproxen with amorphous hydroxypropyl derivatives of α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin with an average substitution degree per anhydroglucose unit of 0.6 were investigated for thermal behaviour (differential scanning calorimetry), drug crystallinity (X-ray diffractometry), and dissolution rate (dispersed amount and rotating disc methods). Phase-solubility analysis and computer-aided molecular modelling were carried out to study the inclusion complexation of naproxen with hydroxypropyl cyclodextrins. The cavity size of the host is a selective factor for the solubilizing effect, complexing ability, and dissolution rate enhancement on naproxen, hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin being markedly the most effective derivative. No relationship was found between the decrease in crystallinity of the drug dispersed in the amorphous carrier matrix and the geometrical features of the cyclodextrin macrocycle.
