Phase solubility study was used to evaluate the complexation in solution at 25 C. Complex formation was also evaluated by comparing the infrared (FT-IR) spectra of the solid complexes with a simple physical mixture containing the same amount of ACZ. FT-IR experiments provided data indicating that the carbonamido group of ACZ is involved in the inclusion process. In vitro release data showed that both formulations, con
