Comparison the solubility and dissolution rate effects of beta-cyclodextrin and gamma-cyclodextrin complexations of rosuvastatin calcium

Abstract

The present work focuses on the inclusion complexations (ICs) of rosuvastatin calcium (RSV) with beta () ve gama () derivatives of native cyclodextrins (CDs) and investigate effects on improved solubility and dissolution rate. The phase solubility studies illustrated that RSV solubility increased in the presence of CD with a negative deviation that indicates AN type diagrams, while βCD showed Bs type, upon addition of βCD, an increase in the solubility of the drug was observed up to a particular point. ICs of RSV were prepared with β and CD by at 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4 different molar ratios by freeze drying method. FT-IR and DSC results revealed formation of ICs between RSV and CD. High drug loading efficiency was obtained for all ICs in the range of 99.41–101.84%. Water solubility studies showed that βCD ICs have increased solubility of RSV about 1.3 times regardless of CD ratios(p>0.05). As compared to βCD ICs, RSV solubility was significantly greater in CD ICs and increased up to 1.45, 1.72 and 2.00 fold at 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4 ratio, respectively. Conspicuously, RSV solubility increased with increasing ratio of CD(p<0.05). Compared dissolution profiles with pure RSV, all ICs showed improved dissolution rates and immediate release profiles. However multiple point comparison of dissolution profiles indicated that CD ICs have higher drug release. Particularly CD ICs at 1:4 ratio released the highest RSV with 95.12% at 3 min and 100% completion in 15 min. It is concluded that CD provided a better improvement on RSV solubility and dissolution rate than βCD.
