Aspects of the chemical stability of doxorubicin and seven other anthracyclines in acidic solution.

TL;DR: The degradation of doxorubicin in acidic medium has been investigated using a stability indicating high pressure liquid chromatographic assay and the aglycone degradation products are characterized by mass spectrometry and by chromatography.

Effect of 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin on Crystallization and Polymorphic Transition of Nifedipine in Solid State

TL;DR: The present data suggest that HP-β-CyD is useful for the preparation of a fast dissolving form of metastable NP through glassy NP, and its crystallization and polymorphic transition behavior was investigated.

The effect of a modified beta-cyclodextrin, SBE4-beta-CD, on the aqueous stability and ocular absorption of pilocarpine.

TL;DR: SBE4-beta-CD did not damage the corneal epithelium in vitro and was well-tolerated by the rabbit eye in vivo, suggesting that indeed, pilocarpine does interact with SBE4, modified beta-cyclodextrin.

Effect of various cyclodextrins on solution stability and dissolution rate of doxorubicin hydrochloride

TL;DR: A number of cyclodextrins were examined as to their ability to stabilize doxorubicin in solution and to enhance the rate of its dissolution as mentioned in this paper, and the results showed that the modified Cyclodextrin is innocuous even when given in large doses parenterally.
