Abstract: Inclusion Complexes of Racemic Ibuproxam and of Optically Active Ibuproxam with Cyclodextrin Derivatives, Process for the Preparation Thereof, Pharmaceutical Preparations Containing these Inclusion Complexes or Containing Optically Active S-(+)-Ibuproxam, and Use ThereofThere are disclosed novel inclusion complexes of racemic ibuproxam and of optically active S-(+)-ibuproxam with hydrophilic and hydrophobic cyclodextrin derivatives and, in the case of optically active S-(+)-ibuproxam, also with .beta.-cyclodextrin alone. Further a process for preparing S-(+)-ibuproxam and inclusion complexes of racemic ibuproxam and of optically active S-(+)-ibuproxam with hydrophilic and hydrophobic derivatives of .beta.-cyclodextrin and, in the case of optically active S-(+)-ibuproxam, also with .beta.-cyclodextrin alone, is disclosed.Disclosed are also pharmaceutical compositions containing these inclusion complexes or optically active S-(+)-ibuproxam.

Abstract: Described is a new process for the preparation of alkali clavulanate from an aqueous solution of crude clavulanic acid, which is obtained in a conventional manner after the fermentation with a clavulanic-acid-producing microorganism, extracted with an ethyl acetate solution of a hydrophobic .beta.-CD derivative such as heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl)-.beta.-CD in at least equimolar ratio with regard to clavulanic acid. The resulting novel inclusion complexes of clavulanic acid and hydrophobic .beta.-CD derivative in a molar ratio about 1:1 are isolated, purified and then converted with an alkali base or alkali alkanoate to the desired alkali clavulanate, which is isolated. Furthermore, there are described new inclusion complexes of clavulanic acid and of its pharmaceutically acceptable alkali salts both with hydrophilic .beta.-CD derivatives and with hydrophobic .beta.

Abstract: Described is a new process for the preparation of alkali clavulanate from an aqueous solution of pure clavulanic acid and of pharmaceutically acceptable potassium crude clavulanic acid, which is obtained in a conventional manner after the fermentation with a clavulanic-acid-producing microorganism, extracted with an ethyl acetate solution of a hydrophobic .beta.-CD derivative such as heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl)-.beta.-CD in equimolar amount or up to 10% excess with regard to clavulanic acid. The resulting novel inclusion complexes of clavulanic acid and hydrophobic .beta.-CD derivative in a molar ratio about 1:1 are isolated, purified with water and then converted with potassium 2-ethyl hexanate to the potassium clavulanate, which is isolated. Furthermore, there are described new inclusion complexes of clavulanic acid and of its pharmaceutically acceptable potassium salt both with hydrophilic .beta.-CD derivatives and with hydrophobic .beta.
