Abstract

The crystal transformation method using ethanol as a dehydration medium is a new method which can create a porous crystal. In this study α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) hexahydrate was transformed by this method and porous ethanol dihydrate crystal was obtained. The pore volume measured was 0.25 mL/g and the median pore diameter was 0.11 μm. Dissolution rate of this crystal was several times higher than that of (α-CD) hexahydrate or anhydrate obtained by drying.
