An isothermal heat conduction microcalorimeter has been used to study the stability of diclofenac
sodium both alone and its inclusion complex with b-cyclodextrin in aqueous solution. The rates of heat
evolved during degradation of diclofenac sodium have been measured by a highly sensitive microca-
lorimetric technique as function of concentration, pH and temperature. The calorimetric accessible
data have been incorporated in the equations for determination of rate constants, change in enthalpy
and order of reaction. The decomposition of diclofenac sodium both alone and its inclusion complex
with b-cyclodextrin in solution corresponds to a pseudo-first order reaction. The values of rate
constants, k’s at 338.15 K, (calculated from the variation of heat evolution with the time) for the degra-
dation of diclofenac sodium at pH 5, 6, 7, 8 and its inclusion complex with b-cyclodextrin at pH 7 are
found to be 4.71 104, 5.69 104, 6.12 104, 6.57 104 and 4.26 104 h1 respectively.
There is good agreement between calorimetric determined t0.5 and literature values. It has been found
that b-cyclodextrin retards the degradation of diclofenac sodium. The kinetic parameters have been
calculated for the reaction. The negative entropy of activation suggests the formation of an ordered
transition state.
