Abstract
The stability constants(Kc) for inclusion complexes of cyclodextrin with sulfonamides, sulfonylureas and p-aminobenzoic acid esters were investigated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using the cyclodextrin bonded phase. The retention time(Rt) of these drugs on a Cyclobond® I column showed a good relationship to K, values obtained by the solubility method and/or conventional HPLC method. The advantages of this method were that the K, values could be rapidly predicted by a simple procedure using a minimum quantity of the drugs.
