A resveratrol/sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was prepared using the freeze-drying method and characterized in solution through UV-vis spectroscopy, solubility phase studies and Job's plot methods. At the solid state it was characterized using the FTIR-ATR technique. Sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin has a high affinity for the drug, and forms an inclusion complex with a 1:1 molar ratio both in solution and as a solid sample. It also has a high stability constant (K-c, 10,114M(-1)). Complexation strongly increases the water solubility of resveratrol (from 0.03 mg/ml to 1.1 mg/ml, at 25 degrees C) and positively influences its in vitro anticancer activity which was observed on a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). In solid phase, FTIR-ATR revealed itself as being a useful technique in elucidating the complexation mechanism, which it did by emphasizing the functional groups involved in the activation of non-covalent "host-guest" interactions.

Abstract
A resveratrol/sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was prepared using the freeze-drying method and characterized in solution through UV-vis spectroscopy, solubility phase studies and Job's plot methods. At the solid state it was characterized using the FTIR-ATR technique. Sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin has a high affinity for the drug, and forms an inclusion complex with a 1:1 molar ratio both in solution and as a solid sample. It also has a high stability constant (K-c, 10,114M(-1)). Complexation strongly increases the water solubility of resveratrol (from 0.03 mg/ml to 1.1 mg/ml, at 25 degrees C) and positively influences its in vitro anticancer activity which was observed on a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). In solid phase, FTIR-ATR revealed itself as being a useful technique in elucidating the complexation mechanism, which it did by emphasizing the functional groups involved in the activation of non-covalent "host-guest" interactions.
