A comprehensive study of gemfibrozil complexation with β-cyclodextrins in aqueous solution using different analytical techniques

Gemfibrozil (GEM) is a hypolipidemic agent, which is effective in reducing serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Complexation of GEM with native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and with the derivatives hydroxypropyl-β- and randomly methylated β-CD (HPβ-CD and Meβ-CD) was studied in aqueous solution of pH...

Sumario:Gemfibrozil (GEM) is a hypolipidemic agent, which is effective in reducing serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Complexation of GEM with native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and with the derivatives hydroxypropyl-β- and randomly methylated β-CD (HPβ-CD and Meβ-CD) was studied in aqueous solution of pH 2.8 and 7.0. The stability constants were determined by spectrofluorimetry, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and solubility assays. Considering the well-known difficulties to obtain similar stability constants by different techniques, the agreement of the values obtained supports the reliability of the results presented. The advantages and drawbacks of each analytical technique for the study of inclusion complexation were discussed as well. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters of complexation, enthalpy (∆H) and entropy (∆S), were determined and related to the type of molecular interactions that take place between GEM and the different cyclodextrins. Finally, solid dispersions were prepared by co-evaporation, kneading, vacuum desiccation, and coprecipitation, and complexation was evaluated by X-ray diffraction.
