Sertaconazole/hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin complexation: isothermal titration calorimetry and solubility approaches.
Complexation of sertaconazole (SN) with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was characterized by phase-solubility diagram measurements and isothermal calorimetry (ITC) in aqueous medium, and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry in solid state. The strongest interaction was observed at pH 1.2, at which two different 1:1 complexes can be formed depending on the hydrophobic ring of the drug involved in the process. At pH 5.8 and 7.4 the likelihood of 1:2 stoichiometry increases as a consequence of the simultaneous complexation of the nonprotonized imidazolyl and the dichlorophenyl groups. In the presence of 20% HP-beta-CD, SN solubility is enhanced by a factor of 116, 107, and 5 at pH 1.2, 5.8, and 7.4, respectively. Complexation enthalpy recorded by ITC showed the same tendency which confirms the practical interest of this technique for fast screening of the potential of CDs as drug solubilizers. Solubility and dissolution rate of the drug from compacts prepared with freeze-dried complexes were significantly greater than those obtained with SN powder or compacts made with physical blends.
