Abstract
Understanding the interplay between kinetics and thermodynamics of polymer-mediated liquid-liquid phase separation is crucial for designing and implementing an amorphous solid dispersion formulation strategy for poorly water-soluble drugs. This work investigates the phase behaviors of a poorly water-soluble model drug, celecoxib (CXB), in a supersaturated aqueous solution with and without polymeric additives (PVP, PVPVA, HPMCAS, and HPMCP). Drug-polymer-water ternary phase diagrams were also constructed to estimate the thermodynamic behaviors of the mixtures at room temperature. The liquid-liquid phase separation onset point for CXB was detected using an inline UV/vis spectrometer equipped with a fiber optic probe. Varying CXB concentrations were achieved using an accurate syringe pump throughout this study. The appearance of the transient nanodroplets was verified by cryo-EM and total internal reflection fluoresence microscopic techniques. The impacts of various factors, such as polymer composition, drug stock solution pumping rates, and the types of drug-polymer interactions, are tested against the onset points of the CXB liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). It was found that the types of drug-polymer interactions, i.e., hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, are vital to the position and shapes of LLPS in the supersaturation drug solution. A relation between the behaviors of LLPS and its location in the CXB-polymer-water ternary phase diagram was drawn from the findings.

Int J Nanomedicine 2021; 16:133-145.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that underlies chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to treat RA. However, a long list of adverse events associated with long-term treatment regimens with NSAIDs negatively influences patient compliance and therapeutic outcomes. AIM The aim of this work was to achieve site-specific delivery of celecoxib-loaded spanlastic nano-vesicle-based delivery system to the inflamed joints, avoiding systemic administration of large doses. METHODOLOGY To develop spanlastic nanovesicles for transdermal delivery of celecoxib, modified injection method was adopted using Tween 80 or Brij as edge activators. Entrapment efficiency, vesicle size, ex vivo permeation, and morphology of the prepared nano-vesicles were characterized. Carbopol-based gels containing the selected formulations were prepared, and their clarity, pH, rheological performance, and ex vivo permeation were characterized. Celecoxib-loaded niosomes and noisome-containing gels were developed for comparison. The in vivo efficacy of the selected formulations was evaluated in a rat model of Freund's complete adjuvant-induced arthritis. Different inflammatory markers including TNF-α, NF-кB and COX-2 were assessed in paw tissue before and after treatment. RESULTS The size and entrapment efficiency of the selected spanlastic nano-vesicle formulation were 112.5 ± 3.6 nm, and 83.6 ± 2.3%, respectively. This formulation has shown the highest transdermal flux and permeability coefficient compared to the other investigated formulations. The spanlastics-containing gel of celecoxib has shown transdermal flux of 6.9 ± 0.25 µg/cm2/hr while the celecoxib niosomes-containing gel and unprocessed celecoxib-loaded gel have shown 5.2 ± 0.12 µg/cm2/hr and 0.64 ± 0.09 µg/cm2/hr, respectively. In the animal model of RA, the celecoxib-loaded spanlastics-containing gel significantly reduced edema circumference and significantly suppressed TNF-α, NF-кB and COX-2 levels compared to the niosomes-containing gel, the marketed diclofenac sodium gel, and unprocessed celecoxib-loaded gel. CONCLUSION The spanlastic nano-vesicle-containing gel represents a more efficient site-specific treatment for topical treatment of chronic inflammation like RA, compared to commercial and other conventional alternatives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and particularly selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors such as celecoxib (Cxb) are considered promising cancer chemopreventive for colon, breast, prostate, lung, and skin cancers. However, the clinical application to the prevention is limited by concerns about safety, potential to serious toxicity (mainly for healthy individuals), efficacy and optimal treatment regimen. Cxb exhibits advantages as potent antiinflammatory and gastrointestinal tolerance compared with conventional NSAID's. Recent researches suggest that dermatological formulations of Cxb are more suitable than oral administration in the treatment of cutaneous disease, including skin cancer. To date, optimism has been growing regarding the exploration of the topical application of Cxb (in the prevention of skin cancers and treatment of cutaneous inflammation) or transdermal route reducing risks of systemic side effects. OBJECTIVE This paper briefly summarizes our current knowledge of the development of the cutaneous formulations or delivery systems for Cxb as anti-inflammatory drug (for topical or transdermal application) as well its chemopreventive properties focused on skin cancer. CONCLUSION New perspectives emerge from the growing knowledge, bringing innovative techniques combining the action of Cxb with other substances or agents which act in a different way, but complementary, increasing the efficacy and minimizing toxicity.

Dasatinib/HP-β-CD Inclusion Complex Based Aqueous Formulation as a Promising Tool for the Treatment of Paediatric Neuromuscular Disorders. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:E591.

Abstract
New scientific findings have recently shown that dasatinib (DAS), the first-choice oral drug in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) for adult patients who are resistant or intolerant to imatinib, is also potentially useful in the paediatric age. Moreover, recent preclinical evidences suggest that this drug could be useful for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, since it targets cSrc tyrosin kinase. Based on these considerations, the purpose of this work was to use the strategy of complexation with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in order to obtain an aqueous preparation of DAS, which is characterized by a low water solubility (6.49 × 10-4 mg/mL). Complexation studies demonstrated that HP-β-CD is able to form a stable host-guest inclusion complex with DAS with a 1:1 apparent formation constant of 922.13 M-1, as also demonstrated by the Job's plot, with an increase in DAS aqueous solubility of about 21 times in the presence of 6% w/v of HP-β-CD (0.014 mg/mL). The inclusion complex has been prepared in the solid state by lyophilization and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) techniques, and its dissolution profile was studied at different pH values. Moreover, in view of potential use of DAS for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the cytotoxic effect of the inclusion complex has been assessed on C2C12 cells, a murine muscle satellite cell line. In parallel, a one-week oral treatment was performed in wild type C57Bl/6J mice to test both palatability and the exposure levels of the new oral formulation of the compound. In conclusion, this new inclusion complex could allow the development of a liquid and solvent free formulation to be administered both orally and parenterally, especially in the case of an administration in paediatric age.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) have been widely investigated as a unique pharmaceutical excipient for past few decades and is still explored for new applications. They are highly versatile oligosaccharides which possess multifunctional characteristics, and are mainly used to improve the physicochemical stability, solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability of drugs. Stability constant, factors affecting complexation, techniques to enhance complexation efficiency, the preparation methods for molecular inclusion complexes and release of guest molecules are discussed in brief. In addition, different CD derivatives and their pharmacokinetics are elaborated. Further, the significance of CD complex in aqueous solubility, dissolution and bioavailability, stability, and taste masking is explained. The recent advancement of CDs in developing various drug delivery systems is enlightened. Indeed, the potential of CDs by means of inclusion complex formation have widen the applicability of these materials in various drug delivery systems including ocular, osmotic, mucoadhesive, transdermal, nasal, and targeted delivery systems. Feasibility studies have been performed on the benefit of these cyclic oligomers as nanocarriers, a strategy that can modify the drugs with improved physicochemical properties. Studies also demonstrated the feasibility of CDs to self-assemble in the form of stable nanoaggregates, which may extend the scope of CDs in drug delivery to the continually expanding list of new drug entities.

Abstract
We investigated the complexation of celecoxib (CCB) into sulfobuthyl-ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) for the realization of an inhalable dry-powder formulation containing gemcitabine (GEM) for lung anticancer therapy. Complexation increased the water solubility of CCB (0.003 mg/mL and 0.834 mg/mL for CCB free and complexed, respectively) and produced a quantitative dissolution of the drug within 15 min. The CCB/SBE-β-CD inclusion complex showed a high stability constant (8131 M-1) not influenced by the presence of GEM in solution. Two-dimensional NMR experiments and computational studies demonstrated that the pyrazole ring of CCB penetrates deeper into SBE-β-CD from the secondary rim. The aromatic rings are positioned at the edge of the cavity, establishing hydrogen bonds with the SBE-β-CD that stabilized the complex. CCB showed limited cytotoxic activity on A549 cell lines. Complexation significantly increased activity passing from 30% to 45% cell mortality. Moreover, CCB/SBE-β-CD strongly improved the cytotoxicity of GEM, observing about 60% of cell mortality for the combined formulation.

Abstract
Epalrestat (EPL) is a water-insoluble drug (14μM) that inhibits aldose reductase. This study investigated the interactions between β-cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives and EPL to determine the solubilizing effect on EPL from phase solubility diagrams. We improved the solubility of EPL in water by adding β-CD derivatives. Moreover, the solubility of EPL mixed with β-CD derivatives by cogrinding in a ball mill method was about 2-3 times higher than those of EPL with the same CD concentration (5mM) calculated from phase solubility diagrams. In addition, we investigated the effect of β-CD derivatives on in vitro percutaneous absorption of EPL through hairless mouse skin. Among the coground mixtures of EPL and β-CD derivatives, the mixture containing methyl (ME)-β-CD showed the strongest enhancement of EPL skin permeation. Furthermore, adding 10wt% urea as a skin permeation enhancer after cogrinding with ME-β-CD improved the flux of EPL 300 times compared to the flux of EPL alone. This result indicates the ME-β-CD ground mixture system with urea has potential as a new transdermal drug delivery system of EPL for diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chitosan microparticles containing celecoxib (CB), were developed as chemoprevention of bladder cancer. Furthermore two inclusion complexes of CB with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (C1 and C2) were prepared to improve the solubility of the drug. METHODS C1 and C2 were obtained by freeze-drying and characterized in the solid state and in solution. Microparticles loaded with CB or C1 or C2 were prepared by spray drying and fully characterized. RESULTS The yield and encapsulation efficiencies of microparticles depended by both the viscosity and the presence of the inclusion complex in the feed medium nebulised. Generally, the microparticles exhibited a spherical shape with mean diameter of approximately 2 μm which was compatible with local intravesical administration using a catheter. The CB release studies from the microparticles allowed us to identify both immediate release systems (microparticles including the complexes) and prolonged release systems (microparticles including CB alone). The latter exhibited good adhesion to the bladder mucosa, as highlighted by a mucoadhesion study. Histological studies revealed a desquamation of the superficial cells when the bladder mucosa was treated with microparticles loaded with CB, while the morphology of the urothelium did not change when it was treated with microparticles loaded with the inclusion complex. CONCLUSION A new CB intravesical formulation than can easily be administered with a catheter and is able to release the drug at the target site for several hours was realized. This new delivery system could be a good alternative to classic oral CB administration.

[PMID: 25845772 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2015.03.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2015] [Revised: 03/20/2015] [Accepted: 03/27/2015] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
The objective was to develop a ternary skin targeting system for ketoconazole (KET) using a combined strategy of microemulsion (ME) and cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), i.e., KET-CD-ME, which exploits both virtues of cyclodextrin complex and ME to obtain the synergetic effect. KET-CD-ME was formulated using Labrafil M 1944 CS as oil phase, Solutol HS 15 as surfactant, Transcutol P as cosurfactant, and HP-β-CD solution as aqueous phase. The formulation of KET-CD-ME was optimized and the optimal formulation was characterized in terms of particle size, size distribution, pH value, and viscosity. Long term stability experiment showed that HP-β-CD could increase the physical stability of ternary system and KET chemical stability. Percutaneous permeation of KET from KET-CD-ME in vitro through rat skin was investigated in comparison with KET microemulsion (KET-ME), KET HP-β-CD inclusion solution (KET-CD), KET aqueous suspension, and commercial KET cream; the results showed that the combination of ME with HP-β-CD exhibited significantly synergistic effect on KET deposition within the skin (29.38 ± 1.79 μg/cm(2)) and a slightly synergistic effect on KET penetration through the skin (11.3 μg/cm(2)/h). The enhancement of the combination on skin deposition was further visualized by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). In vitro sensitivity against Candida parapsilosis test indicated that KET-CD-ME enhanced KET antifungal activity mainly owing to the solubilization of HP-β-CD on KET in the ternary system. Moreover, the interactions between HP-β-CD and KET in the ternary system were elucidated through microScale thermophoresis (MST) and 2D (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The profiles from MST confirmed the host-guest interactions of HP-β-CD with KET in the ternary system and a deep insight into the interactions between KET and HP-β-CD were obtained by means of 2D (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that the ternary system of ME combination with HP-β-CD may be a promising approach for skin targeting delivery of KET.

Abstract
Liquid crystalline systems of monoolein/water could be a promising approach for the delivery of celecoxib (CXB) to the skin because these systems can sustain drug release, improve drug penetration into the skin layers and minimize side effects. This study evaluated the potential of these systems for the delivery of CXB into the skin based on in vitro drug release and skin permeation studies. The amount of CXB that permeated into and/or was retained in the skin was assayed using an HPLC method. Polarizing light microscopy studies showed that liquid crystalline systems of monoolein/water were formed in the presence of CXB, without any changes in the mesophases. The liquid crystalline systems decreased drug release when compared to control solution. Drug release was independent of the initial water content of the systems and CXB was released from cubic phase systems, irrespective of the initial water content. The systems released the CXB following zero-order release kinetics. In vitro drug permeation studies showed that cubic phase systems allowed drug permeation and retention in the skin layers. Cubic phase systems of monoolein/water may be promising vehicles for the delivery of CXB in/through the skin because it improved CXB skin permeation compared with the control solution.

Abstract
A resveratrol/sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was prepared using the freeze-drying method and characterized in solution through UV-vis spectroscopy, solubility phase studies and Job's plot methods. At the solid state it was characterized using the FTIR-ATR technique. Sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin has a high affinity for the drug, and forms an inclusion complex with a 1:1 molar ratio both in solution and as a solid sample. It also has a high stability constant (Kc, 10,114 M(-1)). Complexation strongly increases the water solubility of resveratrol (from 0.03 mg/ml to 1.1 mg/ml, at 25 °C) and positively influences its in vitro anticancer activity which was observed on a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). In solid phase, FTIR-ATR revealed itself as being a useful technique in elucidating the complexation mechanism, which it did by emphasizing the functional groups involved in the activation of non-covalent "host-guest" interactions.

Abstract
PLGA microspheres were prepared as a sustained release system for the intra-articular administration of celecoxib (CCB). The microspheres were prepared in the presence of different concentrations of dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-Cyd), by the simple oil-in-water emulsion/evaporation solvent method. The microspheres were evaluated as to surface morphology, size and technological properties (such as encapsulation efficiency, drug loading capacity and drug release). Ex vivo studies on cultures of human chondrocytes were performed in order to evaluate the influence of the polymeric carriers on the pharmacological activity of CCB. All systems ranged from about 1 to 5 μm in size and had a high encapsulation efficiency percentage ranging from about 80% to 90% (w/w), except for CCB-loaded-PLGA microspheres containing the highest amount of DM-β-Cyd, in which a dramatic drop in the encapsulation efficiency was observed (about 54%, w/w). FIB images evidenced the fact that the microspheres had a porous structure in the presence of the highest amount of DM-β-Cyd. The macrocycle modulated the release profiles of CCB from the microspheres, producing in some cases a zero-order kinetic release. Ex vivo biological studies demonstrated that DM-β-Cyd improved the drug's anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, CCB-loaded PLGA/cyclodextrin microspheres may have a potential therapeutic application in the treatment of osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Celecoxib (Cx) shows high efficacy in the treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis as a result of its high specificity for COX-2, without gastrolesivity or interference with platelet function at therapeutic concentrations. Besides of anti-inflammatory effects, Cx also has a potential role for oral cancer chemoprevention. For these conditions, oral administration in long-term treatment is a concern due to its systemic side effects. However, local application at the site of injury (e.g., buccal inflammation conditions or chemoprevention of oral cancer) is a promising way to reduce its toxicity. In this study, the in vitro characterization of mucoadhesive chitosan (CHT) gels associated to Azone® was assessed to explore the potential buccal mucosal administration of Cx in this tissue. Rheological properties of gels were analyzed by a rheometer with cone-plate geometry. In vitro Cx release and permeability studies used artificial membranes and pig cheek mucosa, respectively. Mucoadhesion were measured with a universal test machine. CHT gels (3.0%) containing 2.0% or 3.0% Az showed more appropriate characteristics compared to the others: pH values, rheology, higher amount of Cx retained in the mucosa, and minimal permeation through mucosa, besides the highest mucoadhesion values, ideal for buccal application. Moreover, the flux (J) and amounts of drug released decreased with increased CHT and Az concentrations. CHT gels (3.0%) associated with 2.0% or 3.0% Az may be considered potential delivery systems for buccal administration of Cx.

Abstract
To separate and determine oleanolic acid and ursolic acid, a rapid and accurate HPLC using γ-CD as the mobile phase additive was developed. The effect of CD nature and concentration, and the acidity of the mobile phase on the chromatographic behavior of two bioactive triterpenes were systematically studied. Two bioactive triterpenes were completely separated (R = 3.11) on a Kromasil(®) C(18) column (150×4.6 mm id, 5 μm) with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile/0.1% phosphoric acid with 2 mM γ-CD as the mobile phase modifier (60:40, v/v). The flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/min and the eluent was detected at 210 nm for two bioactive triterpenes. The linearity of the method was excellent (r=0.9999) over the studied range of 6-300 μg/mL for oleanolic acid, and 12-600 μg/mL for ursolic acid. The LOD and LOQ were 1.5 and 5.0, 1.0 and 3.0 μg/mL for oleanolic acid and ursolic acid, respectively. The optimized method was successfully applied to separate and determine two bioactive triterpenes in five Chinese herbs. It is concluded that this method could be used for rapid and accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of the two bioactive triterpenes in Chinese herbs.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Cyclodextrins are useful solubilizing excipients that have gained currency in the formulator's armamentarium based on their ability to temporarily camouflage undesirable physicochemical properties. In this context cyclodextrins can increase oral bioavailability, stabilize compounds to chemical and enzymatic degradation and can affect permeability through biological membranes under certain circumstances. This latter property is examined herein as a function of the published literature as well as work completed in our laboratories.
Key findings
Cyclodextrins can increase the uptake of drugs through biological barriers if the limiting barrier component is the unstirred water layer (UWL) that exists between the membrane and bulk water. This means that cyclodextrins are most useful when they interact with lipophiles in systems where such an UWL is present and contributes significantly to the barrier properties of the membrane. Furthermore, these principles are used to direct the optimal formulation of drugs in cyclodextrins. A second related critical success factor in the formulation of cyclodextrin-based drug product is an understanding of the kinetics and thermodynamics of complexation and the need to optimize the cyclodextrin amount and drug-to-cyclodextrin ratios. Drug formulations, especially those targeting compartments associated with limited dissolution (i.e. the eye, subcutaneous space, etc.), should be carefully designed such that the thermodynamic activity of the drug in the formulation is optimal meaning that there is sufficient cyclodextrin to solubilize the drug but not more than that. Increasing the cyclodextrin concentration decreases the formulation ‘push’ and may reduce the bioavailability of the system.
Conclusions
A mechanism-based understanding of cyclodextrin complexation is essential for the appropriate formulation of contemporary drug candidates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This work evaluated the potential usefulness of pharmacological activation of cardiac ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP)) in the prevention of drug-induced QT prolongation in anaesthetised guinea-pigs. Prolongation of cardiac repolarisation and QT interval is an adverse effect of many drugs blocking HERG potassium channels. This alteration can be dangerously arrhythmogenic and has been associated with the development of a particular form of ventricular tachyarrhythmia known as torsade de pointes. METHODS The well-known K(ATP) openers aprikalim, cromakalim and pinacidil were used. Moreover, three benzothiazine derivatives, which have been reported as potent activators of K(ATP) channels, were also used. KEY FINDINGS Pharmacological activation of K(ATP) channels caused a reduction of the QT prolongation, induced by astemizole, cisapride, quinidine and thioridazine. In contrast, the QT prolongation induced by haloperidol, sotalol and terfenadine, which are known to block HERG channels but also K(ATP) channels, was not influenced by K(ATP) activation. Glibenclamide and tolbutamide (non-selective blockers of K(ATP) channels expressed both in sarcolemmal and in mitochondrial membranes) antagonised the effects of K(ATP) openers, whereas 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (selective blocker of the mitochondrial K(ATP) channels) failed to antagonise the effects of K(ATP) openers, indicating that only the sarcolemmal K(ATP) is involved in the cardioprotective activity. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that pharmacological K(ATP) activation might represent an option for treatment of patients exposed to QT-prolonging drugs.

Abstract
The effects of particle size on the skin permeation and retention of piroxicam (PXC) in an aqueous suspension were investigated. PXC particles of about 23 nm, 173 nm, and 2.1 microm in size were prepared by the cogrinding of PXC/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K12/sodium dodecyl sulfate physical mixture (mean particle size, 9.6 microm) using a vibrational rod and ball mills. Particles were stable after storage in 0.1 m acetate buffer (pH 4.5) for 24 h. The amount of PXC that permeated and was retained in hairless mouse skin increased with the reduction of particle size up to 23 nm. Amorphous PXC was formed when PXC was coground with PVP, though the amorphous formation did not affect the amount of PXC permeated. Reduction of particle size to less than 50 nm, and the subsequent increase in surface area of PXC nanocrystals appeared to affect skin permeation and retention behavior.

Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of delivery strategies such as cyclodextrin complexation and liposomes on the topical delivery of ketorolac acid (KTRA) and ketorolac tromethamine. Ketorolac acid-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin solid dispersions (KTRA-CD) were prepared by kneading method. The liposomes containing ketorolac tromethamine (KTRM) and KTRA-CD were prepared. The in vitro permeation of KTRM solution, KTRA solution, KTRA-CD, and liposomes containing KTRM or KTRA-CD through guinea pig skin was evaluated. The anti-inflammatory activity of the topically applied KTRA-CD gel (containing 1% w/w KTRA) was compared to that of orally delivered KTRM solution. The KTRA-CD demonstrated significantly higher transdermal transport of ketorolac as compared to all other systems whereas liposomes significantly reduced the transport of ketorolac. The anti-inflammatory activity of the topically applied KTRA-CD gel was similar to that of the orally administered KTRM. Thus, cyclodextrin complexation enabled effective transdermal delivery of the ketorolac.

Abstract
We evaluated the ability of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPbetaCD) to influence the percutaneous absorption of capsaicin (CP) through isolated rat skin. Phase solubility analysis and phase distribution studies suggested the potential of HPbetaCD as a solubilizer and permeation enhancer for CP. In vitro permeation studies showed the trend that, the penetration flux (J(s)) of CP increased with the increasing concentration of HPbetaCD from 0 to 2.20% (w/v), and then decreased dramatically when the concentration of HPbetaCD kept on increasing up to 15% (w/v). 2.20% (w/v) of HPbetaCD provided both just adequate solubilization and preferred J(s) for the permeation of CP (0.075%, w/v). Similar change patterns of the permeation parameters were also observed in the hydrogels, but the J(s) of CP was reduced significantly along with the increasing concentration of Carbopol U21. Histological analysis showed an invasive action of HPbetaCD on the stratum corneum (SC) of rat skin, which could only reduce the lag time (T(L)) but could not increase the J(s) of CP. On the other hand, the complexation of HPbetaCD with CP could attenuate this invasive action. It is inferred that excess of HPbetaCD could not only disturb the percutaneous absorption of CP but also disrupt the structure of SC.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins have proven themselves to be useful functional excipients. Cyclodextrin derivatives can be hydrophilic or relatively lipophilic based on their substitution and these properties can give insight into their ability to act as permeability enhancers. Lipophilic cyclodextrins such as the methylated derivatives are thought to increase drug flux by altering barrier properties of the membrane through component extraction or fluidization. The hydrophilic cyclodextrin family also modulate drug flux through membranes but via different mechanisms. The current effort seeks to provide various explanations for these observations based on interactions of hydrophilic cyclodextrins with the unstirred water layer that separates the bulk media from biological membranes such as the gastric mucosa, cornea and reproductive tract. Theories on the serial nature of resistances to drug flux are used to explain why hydrophilic cyclodextrins can enhance drug uptake in some situation (i.e., for lipophilic material) but not in others. In addition, the nature of secondary equilibria and competition between cyclodextrins and rheologically important biopolymers such as mucin are assessed to give a complete picture of the effect of these starch derivatives. This information can be useful not only in understanding the actions of cyclodextrin but also in expanding their application and uses.
