Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin (HPBCD) is a water-soluble derivative of Beta Cyclodextrin, widely used as a complexing agent in pharmaceutical formulations. It enhances the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, making it an essential excipient for modern drug delivery systems.
Biocompatibility : Non-toxic and non-irritating, suitable for parenteral, oral, and topical applications.
Wide pH Range : Effective across a broad pH range (3-12).
Low Hemolytic Activity : Safer than other cyclodextrin derivatives for intravenous use.
Key Applications:
Oral Formulations
Tablets, capsules, sachets
Improves the solubility of drugs like: Antifungals, NSAIDs, CNS drugs
Ophthalmic Preparations
Enhances solubility without irritation
Improves drug residence time in the eye
Nasal & Pulmonary Delivery
Enhances permeability and stability
Used in nasal sprays and inhalation systems
Topical & Transdermal
Improves penetration of APIs
Reduces skin irritation
Controlled & Modified Release Systems
Used in drug delivery systems to:
Modify release kinetics, improve targeting
Biologics & Complex Molecules
Stabilizes sensitive molecules like:
Peptides, Proteins (limited but emerging use)
Parenteral (Injectables)
Solubilizing agent for poorly soluble APIs
Enables clear aqueous injections
Example use cases: Steroids, Anticancer drugs
Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin is a water-soluble derivative of Beta Cyclodextrin, chemically modified to improve solubility.
Hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin, an excipient, acts as a complexing agent that enhances the delivery of poorly soluble drugs in pharmaceutical formulations.
Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin (Complexol-HP®) functions as a solubilizer, stabilizer, and taste-masking agent, forming inclusion complexes with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
This excipient enhances solubility, stability, and bioavailability, while being non-toxic and suitable for multiple routes of administration.
Hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin is used in various oral dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, syrups, and suspensions. It is also used in injections, vaccines, sprays, and ophthalmic formulations.
Complexol-HP® is suitable for oral, parenteral, topical, inhalation, and biopharmaceutical applications.
Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin from Gangwal Healthcare complies with USP-NF, BP, and EP standards and is supported by DMF, EXCiPAT, WHO-GMP, Kosher, and Halal certifications.
This pharmaceutical excipient delivers high purity, consistent performance, and regulatory compliance for advanced drug delivery systems.
