Inclusion complex of aprepitant with cyclodextrin: evaluation of physico-chemical and pharmacokinetic properties.

Objective: Aprepitant (APR) is a water insoluble drug approved for the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The innovator Emend® is a formulation incorporating drug nanoparticles with good bioavailability (~67%). The objective of the current work was to evaluate the feasibility of formulating a cyclodextrin complex of APR with enhanced solubility/dissolution rate and concomitantly bioavailability.
