CD437 (6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid) is a novel synthetic retinoic acid derivative that has been shown to selectively induce apoptosis in human lung cancer cells. This compound, however, is limited in its application due to its low solubility in aqueous solutions. One technique for increasing the solubility and bioavailability of a cytotoxic agent is the formation of inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. Herein, we report the formation and characterization ...[more]
