Formulation and Evaluation of Supramolecular Food-Grade Piperine HP β CD and TPGS Complex: Dissolution, Physicochemical Characterization, Molecular Docking, In Vitro Antioxidant Activity, and Antimicrobial Assessment.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present study was to improve the aqueous solubility, dissolution, and antioxidant activity of the water-insoluble drug piperine (PIP). The study was performed by preparing PIP binary inclusion complex (PIP BIC) and piperine ternary inclusion complex (PIP TIC) by different methods. The effect of a hydrophilic auxiliary substance (TPGS) was assessed with addition to PIP and hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin (HP β CD) complex. The phase solubility study was performed to evaluate the complexation efficiency and stability constant. The aqueous solubility, dissolution, physicochemical assessment, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, and molecular docking were further evaluated to check the effect of the complexation of PIP. The stability constant (Ks) value was found to
