ESTUDO DAS INTERAÇÕES DO PRAZIQUANTEL COM CICLODEXTRINAS EM SISTEMAS MULTICOMPONENTES
multicomponents cyclodextrins complex; praziquantel; molecular modeling; triethanolamine; N-methyl-pyrrolidone.
The use of cyclodextrin (CD) to enhace the praziquantel (PZQ) water solubility has been widely studied in the literature. In this present paper, the interaction has not yet studied between the PZQ and both the beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxyl-propyl-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) or its association with the solvents triethanolamine (TEA) and N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) was carefully conducted with the purpose to enhance the water solubility of the PZQ. The solubility diagrams and job’s plot diagrams showed that water soluble complexes were formed with 1:1 stoichiometry. The association of the complexes with the TEA and NMP diminished considerably the complex stability and its solubility. However, throught the molecular modeling study it was showed that this effect may be beneficial for the output of the drug from the CD cavity, and consequently to benefit the drug absorption. The results showed up adequately enlightening to propose that these systems can be investigated to enhance the PZQ bioavailability.
