The inhalation route is widely studied for many drug applications focusing on either local or systemic distributions. One matter of concern is the solubilization of hydrophobic drugs. We have studied the feasibility of using different cyclodextrins (CDs) to elaborate pharmaceutical formulations for the inhalation route and tested the short-term toxicity of such formulations administered by inhalation to C57BL/6 mice. We have shown that HP-beta-CD, gamma-CD, as well as RAMEB aqueous solutions can undergo aerosolization and that the resulting droplet-size ranges are compatible with pulmonary deposition. In vivo, we have demonstrated that short-term exposure to inhaled HP-beta-CD, gamma-CD and RAMEB solutions are non-toxic after assessing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), lung and kidney histology, bronchial responsiveness to methacholine and blood urea. The only change noted is a slight increase in lymphocyte count in the BAL after HP-beta-CD and gamma-CD inhalation. We conclude that CDs are useful in significantly enhancing the solubility of apolar drugs with a view to inhalation therapy although an increase in lymphocyte counts in the BAL after CDs inhalations needs further investigations.

Improved Kaempferol Solubility via Heptakis-O-(2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin Complexation: A Combined Spectroscopic and Theoretical Study.

Four cyclodextrins (CDs) including heptakis-O-(2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), heptakis-O-(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) were evaluated for their ability to enhance the aqueous solubility of kaempferol (Kae). Phase solubility studies indicated that these four CDs can form 1:1 type complexes with Kae and that HP-β-CD demonstrated the most significant solubilizing effect on Kae. Among the CDs tested, HP-β-CD demonstrated the most significant solubilizing effect on Kae.

Biological nanopores are increasingly used in molecular sensing due to their single-molecule sensitivity. The detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) like perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid is critical due to their environmental prevalence and toxicity. Here, we investigate selective interactions between PFAS and four cyclodextrin (CD) variants (α-, β-, γ-, and 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-CD) within an α-hemolysin nanopore.

Quercetin, recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, faces limited biomedical application due to its low solubility. Cotton, a preferred wound dressing material over synthetic ones, lacks inherent antibacterial and wound-healing attributes and can benefit from quercetin features. This study explores the potential of overcoming these challenges through the inclusion complexation of quercetin with cyclodextrins (CDs) and the development of a nanofibrous coating on a cotton nonwoven textile.

Article Synopsis
- Hydrogel-forming microneedle array patches (HFMAPs) can deliver drugs like risperidone (RIS) transdermally while avoiding sharps waste by creating microconduits in the skin.
- The study enhanced the solubility of RIS by using cyclodextrin derivatives, specifically hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), which increased RIS solubility by 4.75 times.
- In vivo experiments demonstrated that HFMAPs provided prolonged release of RIS and its metabolite, significantly maintaining higher blood levels over several days compared to traditional intramuscular delivery.

In aqueous and solid media, 2-HP-β/γ-CD inclusion complexes with poly aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) Phenanthrene (PHN), Anthracene (ANT), Benz(a)pyrene (BaP), and Fluoranthene (FLT) were investigated for the first time. The inclusion complexes were characterized and investigated using fluorescence and HNMR spectroscopy. The most prevalent complexes consisting of both guests and hosts were those with a 1:1 guest-to-host ratio.
