Abstract

 Crystalline dopamine chemical delivery system and its cyclodextrin complex could be prepared. The crystalline compound showed better stability at different storage conditions. The iv injection of aqueous solutions of the complex showed higher brain delivery than the DMSO solution of the pure compound. The ip Injection of the aqueous solution of the complex delivered good concentration of the deacylated dopamine quaternary (dopamine prodrug-moiety) to the brain.
