Idebenone (IDE) is an antioxidant drug active at the level of the central nervous system (CNS), whose poor water solubility limits its clinical application. An IDE/2-hydroxypropyl-<i>β</i>-cyclodextrin (IDE/HP-<i>β</i>-CD) inclusion complex was investigated by combining experimental methods and theoretical approaches. Furthermore, biological in vitro/ex vivo assays were performed. Phase solubility studies showed an A<sub>L</sub> type diagram, suggesting the presence of a 1:1 complex with high so ...[more]
