1. COMPLEXATION WITH BETACYCLODEXTRINS IMPROVE STABILITY AND SOLUBILITY OF DRUGS IN DOSAGE FORMS قحطان جاسم حسون

2. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides obtained from starch by enzymatic cyclisation using enzymes called cycloglycosyl transferases

3. Types of cyclodextrins (related to No.of unhydrousglucose unites); ALPHA-cyclodextrin (6 units ) BETA-cyclodextrin (7 units ) GAMMA-cyclodextrin (8 units) However so far only betacyclodextrin has a significant industrial usage.

4. Betacyclodextrin are bound by alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds, give (7 cyclo-a(1,4)-anhydroglucose units.

5. Derivatives of cyclodextrins. HPBCD :2- HydroxyPropyl BetaCycloDextrin RAMEB :Randomly Methylated Betacyclodextrin DIMEB : 2,6-dimethyl-betacyclodextrin --------------------------------------------------------- HPBCD has an ideal profile for pharmaceutical applications

7. The hydrophobic cavity formed by Betacycodextrin ring can accommodate the guest molecule and form complex or inclusion compound.

8. Beta cyclodextrin is used to prepare encapsulated drug,by slurry method followed by drying Hydroxy Propyl Betacyclodextrin HPBCD is used for parenteral solution Safe, pyrogen free and non toxic
