Influence of different techniques on formulation and comparative characterization of inclusion complexes of ASA with β-cyclodextrin and inclusion complexes of ASA with PMDA cross-linked β-cyclodextrin nanosponges

摘要

Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was formulated into inclusion complexes by grinding and precipitation with β-cyclodex-trin and freeze drying with pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) cross-linked β-cyclodextrin nanosponges. Particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, accelerated stability study, in vitro and in vivo release studies were used as characterization parameters. TEM studies showed that the particle sizes of different inclusion complexes of ASA have diameters ranging from 40.12 ± 8.79 to 59.53 ± 15.55 nm. It also revealed the regular spherical shape and sizes of complexes that are even unaffected after drug encapsulation. Zeta potential was sufficiently high to obtain a stable colloidal formulation. The in vitro and in vivo studies indicated a slow and prolonged ASA release from PMDA cross-linked β-cyclodextrin nanosponges over a long period. XRPD, DSC and FTIR studies confirmed the interactions of ASA with nanosponges. XRPD showed the crystalline nature of ASA decreased after encapsulation. These results indicate that ASA nanosponges formulation can be used for oral delivery.
