This study aims to evaluate the photochemical stability of indomethacin-beta-cyclodextrin systems with different stoichiometries in the solid state, in order to find the best correlation between IND stability and the amount of CD. Comparative analysis of physicochemical degradation is performed using various analytical methods to determine the effects of different stoichiometries on the systems.
Cyclodextrins have found wide application in contemporary chemistry, pharmacy and medicine. Because of their unique properties, cyclodextrins are constantly used in research on solubility or stability improvement, as well as other physicochemical properties of medicinal substances. Indomethacin (IND) is a photolabile molecule that also attracts the interest of researchers due to its therapeutic potential and the need to overcome its problematic photosensitivity. Supramolecular complexes of indomethacin with beta-cyclodextrin (CD) are already known, and they show greater stability compared to complexes with other types of cyclodextrins. So far, however, the sensitivity to light of physical mixtures and inclusion complexes in the solid phase has not been studied, and their various stoichiometries have not yet been investigated. Due to this fact, the aim of the present study is to obtain supramolecular systems (inclusion complexes and physical mixtures) of indomethacin with three different amounts of beta-cyclodextrin. Assessment of the photochemical stability of indomethacin-beta-cyclodextrin systems in the solid state is performed in order to find the best correlation between IND stability and the amount of CD. Comparative analysis of physicochemical degradation for stoichiometry systems [CD:IND] = [1:1], [0.5:1] and [0.1:1] is performed by using ultraviolet spectroscopy, transmission-FTIR, reflection-ATR-FTIR infrared spectroscopy and DSC calorimetry.
