Abstract
In this study, the solution enhanced dispersion by supercritical fluids (SEDS) technology was applied to prepare inclusion complex with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as carrier to enhance the oral bioavailability of nitrendipine (NT). The obtained particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, DSC, MS and NMR, which demonstrated the formation of inclusion complex in supercritical CO2. The phase solubility tests revealed that the complexation of NT with HP-β-CD was established in a 1:1 stoichiometry. The effects of different operating parameters, including the solvent, temperature, pressure, molar ratio, and concentration, on the particle size and dissolution were investigated in detail. The results proved that the SEDS technology markedly improved the solubility and dissolution of NT compared with pure NT and physical mixture. This study provides a theoretical basis for obtaining an inclusion complex with high solubility and low toxicity using SEDS technology.
