Popis: Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is an essential herbal supplement for diverse health perspectives. The present study aims to improve the oral bioavailability of GBE flavonoids. We formulated the GBE flavonoids-cyclodextrin (GBE-CD) complex by reacting GBE flavonoids with naringinase in the presence of γ-cyclodextrin (CD) using a patented method. The results showed an enhanced bioavailability of quercetin (QCT), kaempferol (KAE), and isorhamnetin (ISR) after β-glucuronidase catalysis of flavonoid glucuronide conjugates in plasma after GBE-CD (25 μmol/kg as QCT equivalence) administration, that was 5.4, 6.1, and 10.4-folds, respectively, compared to GBE administration (25 μmol/kg as QCT equivalence) in Sprague–Dawley rats. In summary, the GBE inclusion into the γ-CD cavity is found suitable to improve oral bioavailability and could be applicable to several health benefits and disease prevention.
