Title:
CYCLODEXTRIN COMPLEXES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003033025
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides a number of methods for enhancing the aqueous solubility of an active ingredient which is insoluble or sparingly soluble in water. In one preferred embodiment, solubilization of the active ingredient is enhanced by combining it with beta-cyclodextrin in an aqueous complexation medium comprising beta-cyclodextrin and a negatively- or positively-charged compound which forms an inclusion or non-inclusion complex with beta-cyclodextrin and its inclusion complexes.
