Abstract
Solid dispersions of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrins (HPB), a highly water soluble derivative of β-cyclodextrin and ketoprofen (KPF), were prepared by kneading, coevaporation, and freeze-drying. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy were used to investigate characteristics of the solid dispersions and to study the possibility of complexation of the drug with HPB. A marked difference in characteristics of dispersions was observed due to their methods of preparation. The solubility of KPF in the solid dispersions was studied by the dispersed powder technique and was found to have improved considerably over that of the drug pure alone. The dispersions had good compressibiliry. Tablets so compressed displayed good dissolution profiles.Keywords
