%0 Journal Article %T Effect of processing variables on dissolution and solubility of piroxicam: Hydroxypropyl-¦Â -cyclodextrin inclusion complexes %A Doijad R %A Kanakal M %A Manvi F %J Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences %D 2007 %I Medknow Publications %X Influence of processing variables on the solid-state of a model drug, piroxicam in cyclodextrin-based system and its effect on dissolution behavior of the drug was investigated in the present study. Binary systems containing piroxicam and hydroxypropyl-¦Â -cyclodextrin prepared by various processes, were characterized by FTIR, thermal stability, photo stability and dissolution studies. Hydroxypropyl-¦Â -cyclodextrin enhanced the solubility of piroxicam and increased dissolution rates from the binary systems. The complex prepared by co-evaporation method was found to yield better dissolution rate and stability as characterized in present study over those of the complex prepared by other methods. %U http://www.ijpsonline.com/article.asp?issn=0250-474X;year=2007;volume=69;issue=2;spage=323;epage=326;aulast=Doijad
