Nimesulide (NI), a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, is very poorly soluble in water. The aim of this work is to study the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of a NI Na-j3-cyclodextrin (CD) complex in the stoichiometric ratio 1: 1. The complex was prepared by spray-drying and the inclusion could be demonstrated by DSC and solubility method. This study has shown that the NI Na-j3-CD complex can increase the aqueous solubility ofNI (about 5000 times) as well as the solubility in acidic medium (7 times) and at pH 6.8 (34 times). A preliminary study in 3 healthy volunteers has shown promising results for further galenic developments.
