Ezetimibe, the antihyperlipidemic drug of poor bioavailability was complexed with native and derivatized cyclodextrins.The complexes were characterized in terms stability, stoichiometry and structure using various 1D and 2D solution NMR spectroscopic techniques. The complexes were found to be of moderate stability (logK[3). The least stable inclusion complex is formed with b-cyclodextrin, while the ezetimibe-methylated-b--cyclodextrin has a 7-fold higher stability. The results can be useful to improve the poor water-solubility and the concomitant bioavailability of ezetimibe.

Antioxidants from plant extracts are often used as additives in skincare products to prevent skin problems induced by environmental pollutants. Artocarpus communis methanol extract (ACM) has many biological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and photoprotective effects; however, the poor water solubility of raw ACM has limited its applications in medicine and cosmetics. Topical antioxidant nanoparticles are one of the drug-delivery systems for overcoming the poor water solubility of antioxidants for increasing their skin penetration. The present study demonstrated that ACM-loaded hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 nanoparticles (AHP) were successfully prepared and could effectively increase the skin penetration of ACM through changing the physicochemical characteristics of raw ACM, including reducing the particle size, increasing the surface area, and inducing amorphous transformation. Our results also revealed that AHP had significantly better antioxidant activity than raw ACM for preventing photocytotoxicity because the AHP formulation increased the cellular uptake of the ACM in UVB-irradiated HaCaT keratinocytes. In conclusion, our results suggest that AHP may be used as a good topical antioxidant nanoparticle for delivering ACM into deep layers of the skin for preventing UVB-induced skin problems.

Phospholipids from natural sources can delay liquid-liquid phase separation and improve supersaturation for active pharmaceutical ingredients with poor water-solubility in aqueous media. Researchers have developed oral films containing phospholipids to enhance the dissolution efficiency of hydrophobic pharmaceutical ingredients. Phospholipid-based oral films provide an alternative approach for compounding pharmacies to formulate drugs with poor water solubility.
