Benzbromarone (BZB) is a drug that has diuretic activity and is used in the gout treatment. Its therapeutic efficiency is decreased by its low water solubility (11.8 mg L-1) and highly hydrophobic aspect (logP 2.7), which are responsible for affecting its intestinal absorption and bioavailability. BZB inclusion complex (IC) aims at increasing the drug solubility in water and reduce adverse effects resulting in more efficient formulations. The coprecipitation encapsulating method was used to obtain the IC of BZB in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the complex (BZB@β-CD) was characterized via physic...
