ABSTRACT:
Leflunomide is a Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug, which is poorly water soluble. In present study attempt has been made to prepare and characterize inclusion complexes of drug with Beta Cyclodextrin (?-CD). The phase solubility analysis indicated the formation of a 1:1 molar inclusion complex of drug with ?-CD. Apparent stability constant (KC) was 674 K-1 for ?-CD complex. The inclusion complexes were prepared by three different methods viz. coprecipitation, kneading and microwave irradiation method. The prepared complexes were characterized using dissolution study, FTIR and X-ray diffractometry. The inclusion complex prepared with ?-CD by kneading method exhibited greatest enhancement in solubility (18 mg/100ml) and fastest dissolution (T90 = 29 min.) of Leflunomide.
