Abstract
Complexation of tenoxicam (TEN) with gamma-, HPgamma-, beta,-, HPbeta-, and Mbeta-cyclodextrin (CD) in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 has been investigated using phase solubility diagrams. TEN formed soluble complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry with all the CDs studied, although the inclusion stability constants (K1:1) obtained had low values. The presence of propylene glycol (PG) in the dissolution medium decreased the stability constants and led to a higher fraction of free drug by competitive displacement and by an increase in the lipophility of the media. Among the CDs tested, MbetaCD was chosen for further studies since TEN-MbetaCD complexes yielded the best results: good solubility and the highest stability constant. The effect of MbetaCD and PG on the TENpartitioning coefficient was also studied in skin-buffer systems. Although each substance reduced the partitioning value, the combination of PG and MbetaCD increased this parameter. The noticeable increase in solubility of the drug found in the presence of MbetaCD allowed the formulation of carbopol gels with higher doses of TEN and a reduced amount of cosolvent. The presence of MbetaCD improved the percutaneous penetration of TEN through abdominal rat skin by increasing the solubility of the drug in the vehicle and by affecting the partitioning behavior of TEN in the skin. In addition, TEN retention in the skin was found to be related to the flux values attained with the corresponding gels.Keywords
