Abstract:
The present investigation outlays the host-guest penetration of hydrophobic selective Cox-II chemopreventive agent, celecoxib (CXB), with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) using inclusion complexation phenomena. Phase solubility studies conducted at 37 degrees C and 25 degrees C revealed typical A(L)-type curve for the HP-beta-CD indicating the formation of soluble complexes. The inclusion complexes in the molar ratio of 1:1 and 2:1 (CXB-HP-beta-CD) were prepared by kneading technique. The formation of inclusion complexes and the molecular simulation of CXB protons with HP-beta-CD cavity in all samples were testified by 1H-NMR, DSC, powder-XRD, SEM and FTIR and UV/visible spectroscopy. The results of these studies indicated that complex (prepared by kneading method) in molar ratio of 1:1 exhibited better improvement in in vitro dissolution profiles as compared to 1:2 complex. Mean in vitro dissolution time indicated significant difference in the release profiles of CXB from complexes and physical mixtures as compared to pure CXB.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...

Conformations of Cyclohexane
The chair form is the most stable and derives its name from its resemblance to the “easy chair.” In the chair conformation, two carbon atoms are arranged out-of-plane — one above and one below, minimizing the torsional strain. In the chair form, the bond angle is very close to the ideal tetrahedral value,...
