This study aimed to investigate changes in the solubility and antimicrobial efficacy of cefuroxime axetil (CA) when incorporated into cyclodextrin (CD). While choosing the CD, the validated in silico model was used. A theoretical model based on docking and molecular mechanics/generalized born surface area was validated using a curated dataset of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient)-CD stability constants.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel approach for drug design based on the oral carbapenem analog tebipenem pivoxil (TP) has been proposed. The formation of the tebipenem pivoxil-β-cyclodextrin (TP-β-CD) complex resulted in changes concerning physicochemical properties of TP, which is significant for planning the development of an innovative pharmaceutical formulation as well as in the modifications of biological activity profile of the studied delivery system. The inclusion of TP into β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was confirmed by spectral (infrared and Raman spectroscopies) and thermal method (differential scanning calorimetry).
