Abstrakt: The inert gas xenon (Xe) is increasingly used in medicine as a universal anesthetic, a regulator of cellular metabolism, and a broad-spectrum organoprotector. Commonly utilized Xe inhalation requires expensive equipment that is not universally available. Here we describe the production process and physical characteristics of a solid, highly stable xenon carrier based on α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), developed for oral administration. It was found, that the interaction of α-CD with Xe in an aqueous solution and elevated pressure leads to precipitation of the α-CD-Xe complex. We have discovered three new properties of the resulting complex that promote long-term storage and oral delivery of Xe. (i) At temperatures below 0 °C, the precipitated α-CD-Xe complex containing water is so stable that it allows the removal of water by vacuum freeze-drying (lyophilization). (ii). Lyophilized α-CD-Xe remains stable for months at room temperature. (iii) Upon contact with water, α-CD-Xe rapidly releases gaseous Xe. As revealed in the forced swim test, after oral administration of lyophilized α-CD-Xe to rats, the duration of swimming was significantly increased. The obtained data open up prospects for the development of drugs based on the lyophilized α-CD-Xe complex suitable for storage, transportation, and medical use, including outside the hospital.
