dc.description.abstract | Objectives: Benznidazole (BNZ), the primary chemotherapy agent used to treat Chagas disease, has poor aqueous solubility, which results in low bioavailability. The purpose of this work was to develop stable effervescent tablets using an inclusion complex of BNZ with cyclodextrin (CD). Method: In the first phase, different CDs were evaluated according to their ability to improve the aqueous solubility of BNZ. Then, inclusion complexes of BNZ in the solid state were produced by the kneading method and the complexes were evaluated using several physical–chemical assays. Finally, effervescent tablets were prepared according to a complete 32 factorial design. The effects of the concentration of CD and effervescent mixture on the dissolution rate and physical stability of tablets were evaluated. Key findings: Hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin produced the greatest improvement in the aqueous solubility of BNZ, almost 20-times greater than the water system. Solid systems produced with BNZ and CD showed physical–chemical interactions and increased the drug dissolution rate, suggesting the formation of a true solid inclusion complex. Moreover, the effervescent matrix of the tablets was effective in improving the dissolution behaviour of BNZ complexed with CD. Conclusions: Effervescent tablets produced using an inclusion complex of BNZ with CD suggest a possible improvement in the bioavailability of BNZ, and this could represent a relevant advance in Chagas therapy. | pt_BR |
