Abstract
The water solubility of domperidone (DMP) could be improved by complexation with large ring cyclodextrins (LR-CDs). LR-CDs contain a relatively hydrophobic cavity that is capable of entrapping the molecules to form inclusion complexes. The complex formation capability of mixture LR-CDs having a degree of polymerization (DP) of 22–48, with DMP was investigated. The phase solubility profile of mixture LR-CD/DMP was classified as AN-type, resulting in increased DMP solubility in water by 3-fold. Various physicochemical techniques confirmed the mixture LR-CD/DMP complex formation. Single LR-CD with DP of 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33 and 34 (CD26 ~ CD34) were isolated from LR-CD mixtures using ODS column for HPLC separation. The CD33/DMP complex has demonstrated the most significant improvement compared to other single LR-CD complexes with a 2.7-fold increase in DMP solubility. The molecular dynamic result revealed that DMP formed stable complexes with CD33 by positioned fully encapsulated inside the cavity and covered by 13–14 subunits of CD33.
