Influence of various cyclodextrins on the stability of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate in aqueous solution

The stabilizing effects of α-, β-, γ- and dimethyl-β-cyclodextrins (α-, β-, γ-and DM-β-CyDs) on the degradation of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate (HC-17B) in aqueous solution was investigated. HC-17B underwent a facile hydroxide ion-catalyzed rearrangement to the less active 21-butyrate ester by the apparent first-order kinetics, and maximum stability of HC-17B was obtained at around, pH 4.0. The stability of HC-17B was increased by inclusion complexation with α-, γ- and DM-β-CyD in the pH range of 2.0–8.0 examined, whereas β-CyD accelerated the degradation of HC-17B at the pH higher than 5.0. The effects of ionic strength, solvent, temperature and CyD concentration were also investigated. Stability constants and apparent degradation rate constants of HC-17B-γ-CyD and HC-17B-DM-β-CyD complexes were determined kinetically on the basis of 1∶1 complexation. The results suggested that the inclusion complexation with γ-CyD or DM-β-CyD was most useful means to enhance the stability of the steroid.

Flavonol glycosides from the aerial parts of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Aceriphyllum rossii</Emphasis> and their antioxidant activities

The methanol extract obtained from the aerial parts ofAceriphyllum rossii (Saxifragaceae) was fractionated into ethyl acetate (EtOAc),n-BuOH and H₂O layers through solvent fractionation.

They were identified as kaempferol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (astragalin,1), quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (isoquercitrin,2), kaempferol 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), quercetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)-β-D-glucopyrano-side (rutin,4), kaempferol 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (5) and quercetin 3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside] (6) on the basis of several spectral data. The antioxidant activity of the six compounds was investigated using two free radicals such as the ABTS free radical and superoxide anion radical. Compound1 exhibited the highest antioxidant activity in the ABTS2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging method. 100 mg/L of compound1 was equivalent to 72.1±1.4 mg/L of vitamin C, and those of compounds3 and5 were equivalent to 62.7±0.5 mg/L and 54.3±1.3 mg/L of vitamin C, respectively. And in the superoxide anion radical scavenging method, compound5 exhibited the highest activity with an IC₅₀ value of 17.6 ± 0.3 μM.

In the chemical investigation on the saponin composition of leaves and stems of Panax quinquefolium L., two new minor dammarane saponins, quinquenoside L₁ (1) and L₂ (2) have been isolated.

Differential Effects of Modified β-Cyclodextrins on Pharmacological Activity and Bioavailability of 4-Biphenylacetic Acid in Rats after Oral Administration

Gastric tolerability, absorption and pharmacological activity of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug 4-biphenylacetic acid (BPAA), as an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin (β-CyD) or chemically modified β-CyDs: 2,6-di-O-methyl-β-CyD (DM-β-CyD), 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-CyD (TM-β-CyD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CyD (HP-β-CyD), were investigated in the rat after oral administration. BPAA absorption, determined from area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), was increased by complexation with all β-CyDs in the following order: DM-β-CyD > TM-β-CyD > HP-β-CyD > β-CyD. The carrageenan paw oedema test demonstrated a significant increase in anti-inflammatory activity of BPAA and the ED50 values, compared with BPAA alone, were reduced to about a third for the BPAA-DM-βCyD complex and halved for the others. BPAAA complexed with DM-β-CyD, HP-β-CyD or β-CyD showed better gastric tolerability compared with uncomplexed drug, whereas the BPAA-TM-β-CyD complex produced marked gastric lesions similar in extent to BPAA alone. TM-β-CyD (500mg kg^?1) and DM-β-CyD (1000mg kg^?1) caused gastric erosions 21 h after oral administration. The pharmacokinetic profiles of BPAA-β-CyD complexes have shown that DM-β-CyD is the most effective in enhancing the bioavailability of BPAA.
