Studies on Interactions of β-Cyclodextrin with a Nonionic Surfactant Triton N-101

The complexation ofβ-CD with a nonionic surfactant Triton N-101 (TN) has been studied by surface tension measurement and UV-visible spectroscopy. The surface tension curves and apparent critical micelle concentrationsof TN in the presenceofβ-CDare higher than that in the absenceofβ-CD, which indicates that surface activity of TN decrease and formation of micelle is delayed because of the complexation ofβ-CD with TN. To clearly explicate the influences ofβ-CD-TN complexation on changes of surface tension and formation of micelle, the surface tension of fixed concentrations of TN mixed withβ-CD is measured and the influences ofβ-CD on fixed concentrations of TN are discussed. When the concentration of TN is below its CMC, itssurface tension increases withβ-CD concentrations, and then remainsat amaximum. But when the concentrationof TN isabove itsCMC, itssurface tension remains the same asγCMC(surface tensionswhen TN concentrations are above its CMC) firstly, and then it increases withβ-CD concentration, finally remains at a maximum. The association constantsKaofβ-CD-TN system at 298 K are determined by the numerical method based on surface tension measurements that we developed. By measuring surface tensionsofβ-CD-TN systems, the plotsof calculatedS0-S value as a function ofS0/SorS0/S-1 give good straight line, which verified that, as assumed above, the supramolecularsystemstoichiometry is 1∶1 for the inclusion complexation.Kaofβ-CD-TN system at 298 K is calculated from the slope of the straight line and Gibbs free energy change -ΔG0values ofβ-CD-TN systems have also been obtained. The resultsshow thatKadependsonβ-CD concentration, the higher ofβ-CD concentration, the larger ofKavalues. Spectrophotometric titrations have been performed to show the interaction of this supramolecular system. As can be seen from the experiment results, whenβ-CD concentration is lower, the UV absorbance strength at 200, 222, 275 nm decreases with increasingβ-CDconcentration. But when the concentrationofβ-CDreachesat 8.0mmol/L,the absorbance at 275 nm shift to shorter wavelength. On the basis of this observation, we deduce that the hydrophobic chain of TN enterβ-CD cavity mainly whenβ-CD concentration is lower; But whenβ-CD concentration is increased, the phenyl moietyof TN islocated in amore hydrophobic environment, i.e., within the cyclodextrin cavity, rather than in the bulk aqueous solution. The models of the inclusion complexes are also designed based on experimental results.     

Effect of β-Cyclodextrin on the Micellization of Cetyltrimethylammonium in Aqueous Solution at High Temperature

Molar volume and conductivity measurements have been carried out at 338.2 K for cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) + H₂O and CTAC + β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) + H₂O systems. The apparent critical micelle concentrations, the dissociation degree of the micelle, the transfer free energy for the hydrocarbon chain of CTAC, the standard partial molar volumes of CTAC in aqueous β-CD solution and the stoichoimetry for the inclusion complex of CTAC with β-CD have been determined. The influence of β-CD and its complex on the micellization processes of CTAC are analyzed under this temperature. It is shown that β-CD partly screened the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain of CTAC molecules from contact with the surrounding medium, and retarded the formation of CTAC micelles in a certain extent. The thermodynamic activity of CTAC is decreased. The β-CD and its complexes do not participate the formation of micelles of CTAC, and the complex have no effect on the micelle properties once the micelles are formed. Based on a simple model, the number of CH₂ groups entered the cavity of β-CD was calculated. The result suggests that β-CD forms strong complex with CTAC, and the stoichoimetry is found to be 2:1. This supports our conductivity results.     

Spectroscopic Study of the Interactions of Buflomedil to Serum Albumin and β-Cyclodextrin

The effects of buflomedil (BFM), a novel cerebrovascular medicine, on serum albumin and the feasibility of ??-cyclodextrin (??-CD) acting as a controlled releaser for BFM were investigated by molecular spectroscopy methods, including fluorescence emission, UV?Cvisible absorption, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopies. The interaction of BFM with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was analyzed by fluorescence quenching and it was found that BFM had reacted with BSA in the ground state and had affected the secondary structure of BSA. The observed binding constant K _b, the number of binding sites n, the distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (BFM), the enthalpy change (??H ^?? ), Gibbs energy change (??G ^?? ) and entropy change (??S ^?? ) at different temperatures were calculated. The inclusion reaction between ??-CD and BFM was explored by the Lineweaver?CBurk equation. The inclusion constants and the thermodynamic parameters were determined. The mechanism of the inclusion reaction was discussed and the controlled release characteristics of ??-CD to BFM were considered at the molecule level.     

Calorimetric Behaviour of Anhydrous β-Cyclodextrin at Very Low Temperature

Heat capacities of anhydrous -cyclodextrin were measured between 10 K to 300 K using an adiabatic low-temperature calorimeter. Two distinct types of thermal behaviour were observed in the temperature range 50–130 K, depending on the way the sample was cooled. In the absence of hydration water molecules, we assumed that the two types of thermal behaviour could be attributed to freezing in more or less ordered states of the hydroxyl groups engaged in the intramolecular interglucose flip-flop-type interactions.     

Studies on Inclusion Complexes of Felodipine with β-Cyclodextrin

The inclusion behaviour of -cyclodextrin(-CD) with felodipine (FL) as a guest moleculewas studied. Inclusion complexes were obtained by thekneading method in a binary or ternary system with anaddition of polyethylene glycol 6000. Formation ofinclusion complexes was studied by IR spectroscopy,differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and¹³C-NMR. It has been shown that an aromaticphenyl ring was involved in the process ofcomplexation, and that in the solid clathrates thesolubility of FL increased two fold when compared tothe physical mixture, while it increased 10 fold inliquid three-component complexes. Moreover, thephotochemical stability of felodipine was studied inits crystalline form and in the inclusion complexeswith -CD. Quantitative assessment of thefelodipine photochemical decomposition was made on thebasis of the rate constants of decomposition (k) inthe first order kinetic reaction, half life time(t_0.5) and the time of decomposition of 10% of thecompound (t_0.1). It was shown that complexationof FL with -CD causes a two fold increase ofthe rate of the photodegradation process.

Surface Tension and 1H NMR Studies on Inclusion Complexes of β-Cyclodextrin with Sodium Alkyl Sulfonate

The inclusion complexes of -CD with sodium octylsulfonate (C8As), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (C12As), andsodium hexadecyl sulfonate (C16As) in aqueous solutions havebeen studied by surface tension measurement at the air/water interfaceand 1H NMR spectroscopy at 323 K.At fixed concentrations of the surfactants, the surface tensions firstincrease with the increase of -CD concentrations,then they attain a maximum. The surface tension curves of the surfactantsin the presence of -CD are higher than those in the absence of-CD. The values increase with increasing -CD concentrations foreach surfactant. The apparent critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of thesurfactants vary linearly with -CD concentrations.A 1H NMR study shows that the signals of theinner H-3 and H-5 of -CDshift upfield upon addition of the surfactants.The magnitude of the chemicalshift changes (= CD obs)varies as a functionof the concentrations of the surfactants. From therelationships between the chemicalshift changes of H-3 or H-5 inside the -CD cavityand guest/host molar ratios, a 1:1 stoichiometry foreach inclusion complex is assumed. The associationconstants of the inclusion complexes have beendetermined by 1H NMR spectroscopy.     

Regioselective Acetylation of β-Cyclodextrin

Changes in the Solubility of β-Cyclodextrin on Complex Formation: Guest Enforced Solubility of β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes

The most common native host molecule, -cyclodextrin (cycloheptaamylose) is able toform inclusion complexes with a large variety of guestmolecules (or ions) of different size and shape. Theproperties of the included guest molecule are highlyinfluenced by the host-guest interaction, and thepractical usefulness of -cyclodextrin isdependent on these effects. These changes are mainlyinvestigated from the point of view of the guest andto a lesser extent from that of the host. In spite ofthis, the kind of guests and that of the host-guestinteractions during the formation of the inclusioncomplex seem to influence the properties of thehydrophilic domain of -cyclodextrin (i.e. thatof the supramolecule itself), too, and this effect canbe well demonstrated by the change of solubility ofdifferent -cyclodextrin inclusion complexes.This change can be best correlated with the solubilityof the guest as if the guest enforced its solubilityon the supramolecule.

Spectroscopic Study on Interaction of β-Cyclodextrin with Triprolidine Hydrochloride

The complexation of triprolidine hydrochloride （TRP） and β-cyclodextrin （β-CD） in deuterium oxide was investigated by 400 MHz 1^H NMR spectroscopy. The 800 MHz 2D ROESY data revealed that two 1 ：1 and one 2 ： 1 β-CD-TRP inclusion complexes were formed. Both aromatic moieties （p-tolyl and pyridyl ring） has entered into the β-CD cavity, confirming the existence of two different equilibria for 1 ： 1 inclusion complexes in which p-tolyl ring of the guest is more tightly held by the host cavity. The ROE intermolecular interactions provided the plausible structures of these 1 ： 1 and 2 ： 1 stoichiometric inclusion complexes of β-CD-triprolidine hydrochloride in solu- tion.     

Influence of the Water Content on the Thermal Behaviour of β-Cyclodextrin at Low and Very Low Temperature

Heat capacities of -CD·9.7H₂O weremeasured by adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range10–300 K. Differential scanning calorimetry wasused to follow the evolution of the thermalbehaviour versus hydration ratio between 170 and300 K. At least three different behaviours wereobserved, according to the number, n, of watermolecules: 0 < n < 7, 7 < n < 10, and n > 10.These macroscopic results are discussed in terms oforganization differences between the most or theleast hydrated -CD. The structuring effectof the hydration water molecules is emphasised. Theexistence of two energetically distinct -CDhydrates (n < 10 and n > 10) seems to be confirmed. Thishypothesis is discussed in comparison with previousspectroscopic and structural studies.

Thermoanalytical Studies on Complexes of Furosemide with β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives

Solid formulas obtained between furosemide and two β-cyclodextrin derivatives (HP-β-CD and RAMEB) were prepared by different methods and in various ratios (1:1 and 1:2). The inclusion complex formation between the drug and the β-CDs of 1:1 ratio was evaluated by mean of thermal analysis (DSC, TG and EGD). Supplementary techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, were also applied to interpret the results of the thermal study of physically mixed and kneaded products. Both studies demonstrated the formation of inclusion complexes in all samples except the physical mix samples; formation of true inclusion complexes was then possible only when the components were in melted form. The complexation increased the solubility and the rate of dissolution of the drug. RAMEB was found to be a better complexing agent than HP-β-CD; in both ratios it can be selected as a vehicle in furosemide tablet preparations. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Surface electrochemistry of the oxidation reactions of α- and β-alanine at a platinum electrode

The electrochemical oxidation reactions of α- and β-alanine at a Pt electrode were investigated in aqueous solutions at pH 1, 7, and 13 using steady-state current-potential measurements, cyclic voltammetry, and open circuit potential decay. The capacitance behaviour and the high Tafel slopes suggest the production of free radicals at the surface of the electrode accompanied by a second reaction involving loss of CO₂ which is the rate determining step. In the surface electro-oxidation of α-alanine, it appears that the adsorbed intermediate species is either hydrolyzed anodically to acetaldehyde and ammonia, or is oxidized to a carbonium ion which is subsequently hydrolyzed to acetaldehyde and ammonia in solution, analogous to the behaviour observed for glycine [D.G. Marangoni, R.S. Smith and S.G. Roscoe, Can. J. Chem., 67 (1989) 921]. The mechanisms for β-alanine would be similar except carbonium ion formation would probably be accompanied by a hydride transfer to form acetaldehyde. No dimerized products were detected by gas chromatography. These mechanisms differ from the dimerization process typical of the radical reactions associated with the Kolbe mechanism.

Study on Interactions of Several Psychopharmaceutical Drugs with β-Cyclodextrin by Affinity Capillary Electrophoresis and their Application in Separation

The binding of psychopharmaceutical drugs by -cyclodextrin (-CD) changed their effective electrophoretic mobilities. Based on this phenomenon the interactions between some psychopharmaceutical drugs and -cyclodextrin were studied and the binding constants of -CD with tiapride, imipramine, clomipramine, amitriptyline, trifluoperazine, perphenazine and carbamazepine were determined by affinity capillary electrophoresis. The presence of -CD improved the separation of these psychopharmaceutical drugs. Organic modifier was used as another kind of additive to be added in the running buffer to improve further the separation. 70 mM pH 7.2 phosphate buffer solution containing 12 mM -cyclodextrin and 15% (v/v) acetone was selected as optimal running buffer for separation by capillary electrophoresis.
