In order to reduce the bitter taste of red ginseng extract(RGE), inclusion complexes(RGE-CD) of the extract with ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-cyclodextine after acetic acid treatment at the steam process were prepared and studied for their taste by an electronic tongue. By complexation, the bitter taster- reducing efficacies of ${\alpha}$-CD and ${\beta}$-CD were much lower than that of ${\gamma}$-CD. This study suggested that by processing red ginseng with acetic acid it is possible to enhance the yield of both ginsenoside $Rg_3$ and nonpolar ginsenosides. Taste such as bitterness, sourness, saltiness, umami and sweetness of the red ginseng extract with different amounts of ${\alpha}$-CD, ${\beta}$-CD and ${\gamma}$-CD were checked using an electronic tongue. As a result, REG-${\gamma}$-CD10, prepared using 10%(w/w), showed significantly lower bitter taste than those of the other samples.

To enhance the solubility and stability of lansoprazole (LAN), new proton pump inhibitor, we were prepared various molar ratio of inclusion complex with $2-hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ (HPCD) and organic alkali agent, meglumine (MEG). Inclusion complex formation of LAN with HPCD was investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-ray diffractometry. The aqueous solubilities of inclusion complexes, and the stabilities of 1:4 and 1:5 inclusion complexes in aqueous solutions containing different concentrations of MEG were examined. The stability of 1:5 LAN-HPCD inclusion complex containing MEG, which was equaled to amount of LAN, was performed in 0.9% NaCl and 5% dextrose solution. The formation of inclusion complex of LAN with HPCD was $A_L$ type and the molar ratio of complex was 1:1. The stability constant was $41.557\;M^{-1}$. As molar ratio of LAN to HPCD was increased, solubility of inclusion complex was increased. 1:5 LAN-HPCD inclusion complex was more stable than 1:4 LAN-HPCD inclusion complex. And as contained MEG amount in LAN solution was increased, stability of 1:4 and 1:5 LAN-HPCD inclusion complexes was improved. Also stability of 1:5 LAN-HPCD-MEG inclusion complex in 0.9% NaCl solution and 5% dextrose solution was similar to it in water at room temperature, but it was unstable at $40^{\circ}C$.

Two coumarinolignans, cleomiscosins C (1) and D (2) were isolated from the heartwood of Acer mono, together with four compounds, 5-O-methyl-(E)-resveratrol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (3), 5-O-methyl-(E)-resveratrol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-apiofuranosyl-(1$\rightarrow$6)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4), scopoletin (5), and (E)-resveratrol-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (6). Of them, cleomiscosins C (1) and D (2) were applied to preparing inclusion complex molecules with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD) to improve the very poor solubility in cell media. The CD complexes of 1 and 2 exhibited an enhancement of water solubility which is feasible to measure their cytotoxicity using a spectrophotometer in a cell-based assay. Anti-proliferative activity of these complex molecules was successfully estimated on HCT116 human colon cancer cells, and cleomiscosin D (2) showed anti-proliferative effects at the concentration of 1.95~31.2 ${{\mu}g}$/mL in a dose-dependent manner.

In this work ursolic acid (UA), a poorly water-soluble compound, was inclusion complexed with 2-hydroxypropyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin (HP-$\beta$-CD) by various methods such as kneading, solvent evaporation and two types of supercritical fluid processes. The solubility and characteristics of these UA/HP-$\beta$-CD complexes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and HPLC. The water solubilities of the two complexes obtained from solvent evaporation and ASES processes were observed to increase up to 6$\sim$240 folds and 12$\sim$56 folds, respectively, compared with that of unprocessed UA. The stability of UA/HP-$\beta$-CD complex samples in cosmetic formulations was examined at various temperatures for one month. The UA/HP-$\beta$-CD complex prepared by solvent evaporation was found to be most stable among all the cosmetic formulations tested in our experiments.

Genistein is one of the representative isoflavone compounds isolated from soybeans and has been studied very well for its anti-aging and anti-inflammatory activity through previous studies. However, although genistein exhibits high solubility in organic solvents, it shows low bioavaility due to the low water solubility. In this study, we compared directly the functional difference between genistein and genistein cyclodextrin complex which has the improved water solubility and stability by cell based assay. Cell cytotoxicity experiment were carried out on RAW264.7 with CCK-8 assay and cytotoxicity was appeared from $10{\mu}g/mL$, thereby maximum concentration was set to $10{\mu}g/mL$ in all condition. We discovered that genistein CD complex suppressed NO production and iNOS expression as concentration dependent manner in the condition of LPS rather than genistein. Also, we could understand that genistein CD complex was able to down-regulate mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as $IL1-{\alpha}$, $IL1-{\beta}$, IL-6, and $TNF-{\alpha}$ as concentration dependent manner in the presence of LPS. In addition, we verified that genistein CD complex increased TEER of HaCaT human keratinocyte cells as concentration dependent pattern and stimulated cell division and migration rather than genistein in cell migration assay. Thus, it is expected that it can be used as an effective cosmetic raw material for improving atopic dermatitis or skin barrier if clinical studies on skin regeneration and skin barrier of the genistein CD complex are carried out.

To increase the solubility of fentiazac which is used widely as a non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug, its inclusion complex and suppositories were prepared and studied. Inclusion complexes of fentiazac with ${\beta}-cyclodertin$ $({\beta}-CyD)$ were prepared by four diffrent methods; coprecipitation method, kneading method, solvent evaporation method, freeze drying method. Suppositories of $fentiazac/{\beta}-CyD$ with PEG 1500 and Witepsol H-15 were prepared by solvent evaporation method and freeze drying method. Inclusion complex formation of fentiazac with ${\beta}-CyD$ was ascertained by powder X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimetry and IR spectroscopy. The dissolution rate of fentiazac from the inclusion complex increased in distilled water and KP 2nd disintegration test fluids (pH 6.8) but extemly decreased in KP 1st disintegration test fluid (pH 1.2). Inclusion complexes prepared by freeze drying method and solvent evaporation method were similar. Freeze drying method seemed to be suitable for preparation of complex with most higher dissolution rate but coprecipitation method seemed not to be suitable. The dissolution rate of fentiazac increased markedly by ${\beta}-CyD$ complexation. The release rates of suppositories increased in the following order. Complex prepared by freeze dying method in PEG 1500 > complex prepared by solvent evaporation method in PEG 1500 > fentiazac in PEG 1500 > complex prepared by freeze dying method in Witepsol H-15 > complex prepared by solvent evaporation method in Witepsol H-15 > fentiazac in Witepsol H-15.

Naringin has antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic properties, however, phenolic compounds including naringin are unstable in the presence of light, heat and oxygen. Beta-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) is a cyclic heptamer composed of seven glucose units that enhances the stability and solubility of molecules through the formation of inclusion complexes. This study was conducted out to compare the effects of CD-naringin (CD-N) inclusion complexes with naringin on lipid metabolism in high fat-fed animals. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed either CD-N (0.048%, w/w) or naringin (N, 0.02%, w/w) in a 20% high-fat (HFC, 15% lard, 5% corn oil, w/w) diet for 10 weeks. Orlistat (Xenical, 0.01%, w/w) was used as a positive control (PC). There were no differences in body weight, food intake, liver and heart weights, plasma triglyceride(TG), leptin, adiponectin, resistin, IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 concentrations, and hepatic $\beta$-oxidation, carnitine palmitoyl transferase(CPT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and malic enzyme activities between the HFC and CD-N groups or between the HFC and N groups. However, both CD-naringin and naringin supplementation les to a significant reduction in the epididymal and perirenal white adipose tissue weights, plasma free fatty acid, insulin and blood glucose concentrations, hepatic cholesterol and TG contents and hepatic fatty acid synthase (FAS), phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) and HMG-CoA reductase activities compared to the HFC group. The plasma HDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly higher in CD-N and N groups than in HF and PC groups. These results indicate that both CD-naringin and naringin supplementation effectively improved plasma and hepatic lipid metabolism without differences between CD-N and naringin groups.
