Combined effects of cosolvency and inclusion complexation on drug solubility were studied using a model hydrophobic compound (carbamazepine) and a model hydrophilic compound (Compound S). Propylene glycol (PG) was used as the nonaqueous solvent, and deionized water was employed for the aqueous systems. Hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HPbetaCD) was chosen as the complexing agent and studied at concentrations up to 28% (w/v). Complex formation constants (Kc) and solubility enhancement ratios were determined for the respective compounds in various water/PG vehicles. The data suggested that the inclusion of the compounds was most favorable when water alone was used as the vehicle. However, the combined approach of cosolvency and complexation resulted in a significant increase in the total apparent solubility of carbamazepine (the hydrophobic compound). The same was not observed with Compound S (the hydrophilic model), since PG weakened the interactions between the molecule and HPbetaCD, and thus, no synergistic or additive effects were observed with the combined approach of complexation and cosolvency.

A series of star-shaped poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride]s with different arm lengths were synthesized open-aired enzymatically assisted ATRP using the 2-hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin derivative as an initiator. The resulting PMETAs with narrow molecular weight distribution ( = 1.06-1.

Niemann-Pick disease, type C1 (NPC1) is an inborn error of intracellular cholesterol transport. Impaired function of NPC1 leads to endolysosomal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol, which results in progressive neurodegeneration. Although the age of onset is variable, classical NPC1 is a pediatric disease.

Brivaracetam is a novel antiepileptic medication that can be indicated for the management of epilepsy in pediatric patients over one month old. To facilitate its administration to children, an oral solution is the most suitable option. However, the inherently bitter taste of brivaracetam poses a challenge in terms of palatability, necessitating the development of a taste masking strategy for the solution.

The effect of pre-fermentation single additions of four cyclodextrins (CDs) as stabilizing factors on the color, aroma, and sensory characteristics of red wines was systematically investigated for the first time and compared with control and single polysaccharide treatments. The results showed that α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) increased red-green color channel (a) by 41.85 % and 28.

Trophoblast dysfunction during pregnancy time is majorly involved to lead pathogenesis of preeclampsia. In the present investigation, the facile nanoformulation by Zein protein particles functionalized with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and co-encapsulated with curcumin and eugenol compounds (Cu/Eu@H-β-CD-ZNPs) is developed to achieve enhanced therapeutic potential in the treatment of preeclampsia. To investigate the positive trophoblast function, trophoblast cells were treated and observed for in vitro cell proliferation, invasion and migration ability under hypoxic condition.
