Purpose: To improve the solubility of paeonol in water by complexing with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and also to characterize the physicochemical properties of the complex.Methods: The complex of paeonol and HP-β-CD was prepared by freeze-drying method. Its physicochemical properties were studied by phase-solubility method, ultraviolet-visible spectrometry (UV), infrared spectrometry (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffractometry (XRD) and  thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC).Results: The phase-solubility results showed that paeonol formed a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with HP-β-CD while UV and IR spectra suggested that HP-β-CD and paeonol in the complex interacted by a non-covalent bond. SEM and XRD indicate that the heat stability of paeonol was significantly improved by complexing with HP-β-CD.Conclusion: Paeonol can be efficiently complexed with HP-β-CD to form a complex by freeze-drying method. The aqueous solubility and heat stability of paeonol is significantly improved by complexation HP-β-CD.Keywords: Paeonol, Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, Complexation, Aqueous solubility, Heat stability
