Theoretical Study of the Inclusion Processes of Ibuprofen Enantiomers with Native and Modified β-CDs

PM3 calculations in vacuum were performedon the inclusion complexation of-cyclodextrin (-CD),heptakis-(2-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin(2-Me--CD) and heptakis-(6-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin(6-Me--CD) withibuprofen (IB) enantiomers. Inclusion processpathways are described and the most probablestructure of the 1:1 complex are sought througha potential energy scan. The energy differencesbetween the inclusion complexes and the hosts(native and modified CDs) by calculation show thatmodified CDs have much more interaction sites withIB and enhance van der Waals interaction andhydrophobic interaction between them, form morestable complexes than native CD does.Stabilization energies of S-IB complexes arehigher than that of R-IB complexes both for nativeand modified CDs.     

Inclusion of Paracetamol into β-cyclodextrin nanocavities in solution and in the solid state

We report on steady-state UV-visible absorption and emission characteristics of Paracetamol, drug used as antipyretic agent, in water and within cyclodextrins (CDs): β-CD, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD) and 2,6-dimethyl-β-CD (Me-β-CD). The results reveal that Paracetamol forms a 1:1 inclusion complex with CD. Upon encapsulation, the emission intensity enhances, indicating a confinement effect of the nanocages on the photophysical behavior of the drug. Due to its methyl groups, the Me-β-CD shows the largest effect for the drug. The observed binding constant showing the following trend: Me-β-CD>HP-β-CD>β-CD. The less complexing effectiveness of HP-β-CD is due to the steric effect of the hydroxypropyl-substituents, which can hamper the inclusion of the guest molecules. The solid state inclusion complex was prepared by co-precipitation method and its characterization was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H NMR and X-ray diffractometry. These approaches indicated that Paracetamol was able to form an inclusion complex with CDs, and the inclusion compounds exhibited different spectroscopic features and properties from Paracetamol.     

Study of inclusion complex formation between a cationic surfactant, two cyclodextrins and a drug

In this study inclusion of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) with α-, and β-cyclodextrin (CD) in the presence and the absence of bromhexine (BH) was investigated using ion-selective electrode method. The association constants of HTAB with CDs were determined by potentiometry and were close to literature values. The obtained results indicated that α-CD formed 1:1 and 1:2 inclusion complexes, but β-CD formed only a 1:1 inclusion complex. In the presence of drug, the interaction between CDs and HTAB decreased, because both drug and HTAB could interact with CDs. The results showed that the interaction between drug and CDs are greater than HTAB and CDs. The stoichiometry of the inclusion complexes, the critical aggregation concentration (CAC), the monomer surfactant concentration of HTAB, [HTAB]_f, and also the effect of the inclusion complex on the micellization process of the HTAB were determined by conductivity measurements.

Investigation on the inclusion behaviour of baicalein with β-cyclodextrin and derivatives and their antioxidant ability study

The formation of the complexes of baicalein (Ba) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and β-CD derivatives (HP-β-CD and Me-β-CD) was studied by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence method, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and phase-solubility measurement. The solid–inclusion complexes of Ba with CDs were synthesised by the co-precipitation method. The characterisations of the solid–inclusion complexes have been proved by infrared spectra and differential scanning calorimetry. Experimental conditions including the concentration of various CDs and media acidity were investigated in detail. The results suggested that the inclusion ratio of HP-β-CD with Ba was the highest among the three kinds of CDs. The binding constants (Ks) of the inclusion complexes were determined by fluorescence method and phase-solubility measurement. Kinetic studies of DPPH√ with Ba and CDs complexes were also done. The results indicated that the Ba/HP-β-CD complex was the most reactive form.     

Spectroscopic study and antioxidant activity of the inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins and amlodipine besylate drug

The aim of the study was to synthesize and characterization the inclusion complexes of amlodipine besylate (AML) drug with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) which has antioxidating activity property. The guest/host interaction of AML with β-CD and γ-CD in order to complexation drug in β-CD and γ-CD were investigated. The interaction inclusion complexes was characterized by fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopies. The formation constant was calculated by using a modified Benesi–Hildebrand equation at 25 °C. The stoichiometry of inclusion complexes was found to be 1:1 for β-CD and γ-CD with AML drug. The antioxidant activity of AML drug and its inclusion complexes were determined by the scavenging of stable radical 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH^·). Kinetic studies of DPPH^· with AML and CDs complexes were done. The experimental results confirmed the forming of AML complexes with CDs also these indicated that the AML/β-CD and AML/γ-CD inclusion complexes was the most reactive than its free form into antioxidant activity.     

Formation of nanotubes and secondary assemblies of cyclodextrins induced by BBOT

The study of cyclodextrin nanotubes is a significant topic among the self-assembly behaviors of cyclodextrins. We report herein the interaction of 2,5-bis(5′-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazoyl)thiophene (BBOT) with α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrins (CDs). It has been discovered that the reaction patterns of BBOT with CDs are remarkably different. β-CD forms a simple inclusion complex with BBOT in a stoichiometry of 1:2 (guest:host). β-CD forms a 1:1 inclusion complex with BBOT at its low concentration. At higher concentration of BBOT, the nanotube and secondary assembly of β-CD are formed. As for γ-CD, the nanotube and secondary assembly are formed within the whole concentration range of BBOT studied. The structure of γ-CD nanotubes is different from that of β-CD nanotubes to a certain extent.

     

Study on the Supramolecular System of TAPP and Cyclodextrins by Spectroscopy

The ability of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), γ-CD, hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HP-β-CD), trimethyl-β-CD (TM-β-CD), sulfurbutylether-β-CD (SBE-β-CD) and carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) to break the aggregate of the meso-tetrakis(4-N-trimethylaminobenzyl)porphyrin (TAPP) and to form 2:1 inclusion complexes has been studied by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The formation constants are calculated, respectively, by fluorimetry, from which the inclusion capacity of different CDs is compared and the inclusion mechanism of charged-β-CD (SBE-β-CD and CM-β-CD) is quite different from that of the parent β-CD. At lower pH, the complexation between TM-β-CD and H²TAPP²⁺ (the form of the diprotonated TAPP) hampers the continuous protonation of the pyrrole nitrogen of TAPP and the hydrophobic cavity may prefer to bind an apolar neutral porphyrin molecule. ¹HNMR data support the inclusion conformation of the porphyrin–cyclodextrin supramolecular system, indicating the interaction of the meso-phenyl groups of TAPP with the cavity of CDs. For this host–guest inclusion model, cyclodextrin being regarded as the protein component, which acts as a carrier enveloping the active site of heme prosthetic group within its hydrophobic environment, provides a protective sheath for the porphyrin, creating artificial analogues of heme-containing proteins. However, for TAPP, encapsulated within this saccharide-coated barrier, its photophysical and photochemical properties changed strongly.     

Photophysics of a cyanine dye within cyclodextrin cavity

The modulated photophysical and dynamical behavior of a potent anti-tumor photosensitizer 3,3^/-diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DODCI) following host-guest inclusion complex formation with α-, β- and γ-Cyclodextrins (CDs) has been studied using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods. The cavity size of the CDs (α-CD <β-CD <γ-CD) is argued to play an instrumental role underlying the formation of the host-guest inclusion complex. While negligible interaction with α-CD is found to be succeeded by prominent quenching of monomeric fluorescence of the dye within β-CD and γ-CD with the degree of quenching being greater within γ-CD. The most appealing fact attained from the experimental results is the anticipation of dimer formation of DODCI within the large cavity of γ-CD which can entrap more than one molecule of DODCI. The steady-state results are found to be adequately corroborated by time-resolved fluorescence decay studies. Such encapsulation of the cyanine dye within the carrier cargo can be designed for targeted delivery inside biological systems.     

Cyclodextrins Initiated Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactide Using 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as Catalyst: Study of DMAP/β-CD Inclusion Complex and Access to New Structures

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides used in many fields. Grafting polymers onto CDs enables new structures and applications to be obtained. Polylactide (PLA) is a biobased, biocompatible aliphatic polyester that can be grafted onto CDs by -OH-initiated ring-opening polymerization. Using 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) as an organocatalyst, a quantitative functionalization is reached on native α-, β-, γ- and 2,3-dimethyl- β-cyclodextrins. Narrow molecular weight distributions are obtained with the native CDs (dispersity < 1.1). The DMAP/β-CD combination is used as a case study, and the formation of an inclusion complex (1/1) is shown for the first time in the literature, which is fully characterized by NMR. The inclusion of DMAP into the cavity occurs via the secondary rim of the β-CD and the association constant (K_a) is estimated to be 88.2 M⁻¹. Its use as an initiator for ring-opening polymerization leads to a partial functionalization efficiency, and thus a more hydrophilic β-CD-PLA conjugate than that obtained starting from native β-CD. Polymerization results including also the use of the adamantane/β-CD inclusion complex as an initiator suggest that inclusion of the DMAP catalyst into the CD may not occur during polymerization reactions. Rac-lactide does not form an inclusion complex with β-CD.     

Preparation and characterization of the inclusion complex of Ofloxacin with ��-CD and HP-��-CD

The formation of the inclusion complexes of Ofloxacin with cyclodextrins (CDs) including ??-cyclodextrin (??-CD), and hydroxypropyl-??-cyclodextrin (HP-??-CD) were studied by Fluorescence, UV?CVis absorption spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) in solution. Experimental conditions including the concentration of various CDs and media acidity were investigated in detail at room temperature. The results suggested that in different pH solutions, CDs have different inclusive capacity to different forms Ofloxacin. ??-CD was most suitable for inclusion of neutral form and HP-??-CD was suitable for acidic form. The binding constant (K) of the inclusion complex was determined by fluorescence measurement, and the complexation ratio was determined as 1:1 in the concentration range used in this study. A mechanism was proposed to explain the inclusion process based on the experimental NMR data.     

Effects of water and alcohol on the formation of inclusion complexes of d-limonene and cyclodextrins

Abstract

Systematic studies have been carried out on the role of water and alcohol in the formation of inclusion complexes between d-limonene and α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin (CD) by a micro-aqueous method. The inclusion complex was barely formed at zero water content for all CDs. Above the specific water content for each CD, formation of the inclusion complex correlated well with an equation which was derived on the autocatalytic assumption for the inclusion phenomenon. The inclusion complex correlated well with an equation which was derived on the autocatalytic assumption for the inclusion phrnomenon. The minimum water content, which was defined as 1% of the maximum concentration of the inclusion complex formed, coincided with the number of water molecules inside the cavity of the CD. In the presence of ethanol, a significant amount of the inclusion complex was formed for β- and γ-CD/limonene systems, particularly at lower moisture content. However, for α-CD the inclusion fraction decreased significantly in the presence of ethanol. This means that ethanol inhibits the formation of the inclusion complex between x-CD and d-limonene. For other linear alcohols, the formation of the inclusion complex between d-limonene and β-CD increased with decreasing alkyl chain length. This suggests that the more hydrophilic and the smaller (in molecular size) the alcohol is, the more enhanced is the inclusion of d-limonene to β-CD.     

Study on inclusion complexes of meso-tetrakis(2-thienyl)porphyrin and Cu-meso-tetrakis(2-thienyl)porphyrin with cyclodextrins by spectroscopy method

In phosphate buffer solution of pH5.4, the interaction of meso-tetrakis(2-thienyl)porphyrin(H₂TTP) and Cu-meso-tetrakis(2-thienyl)porphyrin(Cu-TTP) with α-cyclodextrin(α-CD), β-CD, γ-CD, heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-CD(TM-β-CD) has been studied by means of UV-vis, fluorescence and ¹HNMR spectroscopy, respectively. The H₂TTP and Cu-TTP can form 1:2 inclusion complexes with TM-β-CD and 1:1 inclusion complexes with the other three cyclodextrins. In this paper, the inclusion constants (K) of H₂TTP and Cu-TTP for the formation of the inclusion complexes have been estimated from the changes of absorbance and fluorescence intensity in phosphate buffer solution. The inclusive capabilities of different kinds of cyclodextrins are compared. The result shows that the inclusion ability of α-CD with H₂TTP and Cu-TTP is the strongest among the three native CDs. The inclusion ability of modified β-CD with H₂TTP and Cu-TTP is stronger, compared to the native β-CD, which indicates that the capacity matching plays a crucial role in the inclusion procedure except for the hydrophobic effect. In addition ¹HNMR spectra supports the inclusion conformation of the TM-β-CD-Cu-TTP inclusion complex, indicating the interaction mechanism of inclusion processes.     

Preference Prediction for the Stable Inclusion Complexes between Cyclodextrins and Monocyclic Insoluble Chemicals Based on Monte Carlo Docking Simulations

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are useful functional excipients, which are being used to camouflage undesirable pharmaceutical characteristics, especially poor aqueous solubility, through the inclusion complexation process with insoluble drugs. The selection of more efficient cyclodextrin is important to improve the bioavailability of drugs. In this study, the complexing and solubilizing abilities toward poorly water-soluble monocyclic molecules of natural CDs (α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD) were investigated using Monte Carlo (MC) docking simulations studies. These theoretical results closely agree with the experimental observation of the complex stability in water of the various guests–CD complexes. Host preferences, based on the experimentally determined stability constants between host CDs and guest molecules, show excellent correlation with the calculated interaction energies of corresponding complexes. The inclusion complex with the lower MC docking interaction energy shows a higher value of stability constant than that of the other complex, and the prediction accuracy of the preferred complex for 21 host–guest pairs is 100%. This result indicates that the MC docking interaction energy could be employed as a useful parameter to select more efficient cyclodextrin as a host for the bioavailability of insoluble drugs. In this study, β-CD shows greater solubilizing efficacies toward guest molecules than those of α-CD and γ-CD, with the exception of one case due to the structure of a guest molecule containing one lipophilic cyclic moiety. The surface area change of CDs and hydrogen bonding between the host and guest also work as major factors for the formation of the stable complex.     

Spectroscopic characterisation of the inclusion complexes between the antifungal drugs naftifine and terbinafine and cyclodextrins

The complexation of naftifine (NF) and terbinafine (TB) with cyclodextrins (CDs) has been investigated by UV/visible and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, ROESY techniques and also ESI-MS. Both drugs form 1:1 inclusion complexes with all the CDs tested except with α-CD, as deduced from the Benesi–Hildebrand plots and confirmed by ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy (Job plot method). The K ₁₁ values for NF decrease in the order β-CD > methylated β-CD > 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD >γ-CD. The determination of the enthalpy and entropy provides information about the main driving forces in the process. The stability constants of the complexes NF–β-CD, TB–β-CD and TB–γ-CD determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy are in agreement with the values obtained by UV. For TB–β-CD, the value is higher, due to the fact that the length of the TB aliphatic chain allows a deeper inclusion of the naphthalene group inside the corresponding β-CD molecule, according to the 2D ROESY experiments.     

POPOP诱导环糊精形成纳米管的研究

用紫外吸收光谱、稳态荧光、荧光各向异性和动态光散射等方法研究了2,2′-p-亚苯基-双(5-苯基噁唑) (POPOP)分子与环糊精(CD)的相互作用. 结果表明, POPOP分子在浓度较低时与β-CD形成1:2的包合物, 在浓度较高时可以进一步诱导β-CD形成纳米管结构. 同时发现, POPOP分子也可以诱导γ-CD形成纳米管结构. 对比于β-CD, POPOP分子在γ-CD水溶液中的荧光发射峰, 不仅有明显的红移而且也缺失了精细结构, 呈现较宽的大包峰. 这是由于POPOP分子成对进入γ-CD空腔形成了激基缔合物的缘故. pH和温度效应实验进一步表明, POPOP诱导β-CD形成的纳米管在pH大于12和温度高于331 K的环境下不能稳定存在.     

Nitrosation of mefenorex in the presence of cyclodextrins

Investigation of the complexation of essential oil components with cyclodextrins

The formation of inclusion complexes of six essential oil (EO) components (β-caryophyllene, cis-ocimene, trans-ocimene, sabinene hydrate (thujanol), γ-terpinene and α-terpineol) with six cyclodextrins (CDs) (α-CD, β-CD, γ-CD, HP-β-CD, RAMEB and CRYSMEB) was investigated by using static headspace-gas chromatography and UV–visible spectroscopy. Retention studies showed that CDs could efficiently reduce the volatility of EO components except for β-caryophyllene with α-CD. In this case, no inclusion complex was detected while for other compounds the formation of 1:1 inclusion complexes was observed. Results revealed that the inclusion stability mainly depends on geometric complementarity between encapsulated molecule and CD's cavity. Molecular modelling was used to investigate the complementarities between host and guest. Thus, CDs could efficiently be regarded as promising encapsulants for EO components leading to improve their application in cosmetic, pharmaceutical and agriculture fields.
