Inclusion Complex of 4-Hydroxycoumarin with Cyclodextrins and Its Characterization in Aqueous Solution

The physicochemical properties of 4-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-phenyl-2H-chromen-2-one (4HC) and β-cyclodextrins (CDs) inclusion complexes were investigated. The phase solubility profile of 4HC with β-cyclodextrin derivatives was classified as A_L-type. Stability constants for complexes with 1:1 molar ratios were calculated from the phase solubility diagrams and indicate the following trend: DMβCD>HPβCD>βCD. The highest value of the binding constant was for 4HC-DMβCD; the binding association constant (K _a) for this complex was determined at different temperatures and the thermodynamic data indicate that 4HC-DMβCD association is mainly an entropically driven process. ¹H NMR and ROESY were carried out, revealing that 4HC is embedded in the apolar cavity of DMβCD with the 4OH group buried in the cyclodextrin cavity with the phenyl group outside, near the primary rim. These results are in agreement with ORAC_FL values; the decrease in the antioxidant activity of 4HC-DMβCD is explained by the effective protection of the hydroxyl group due to complexation.     

Inclusion Complexes of Cyproterone Acetate with Cyclodextrins in Aqueous Solution

Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is a steroidal antiandrogen with a progestogenic activity. Given that this molecule has a very poor water solubility (2.1 g/mL), different cyclodextrins (CDs) were tested to form inclusion complexes and to increase solubility. Two different techniques were compared to study the affinity between CPA and CDs: phase-solubility studies and NMR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry and the stability constant could be determined for most complexes with the aid of phase-solubility studies. The greatest increase in solubility was achieved with the methylated -CDs, but hydroxypropylated - and -CDs also gave enhanced solubilities. ¹H-NMR studies showed a solubility increase similar to that found with phase-solubility studies. The proof of inclusion in the2,6-dimethyl--CD (DIMEB) was shown by ¹H-NMR and t-ROESY spectra.     

Complex Formation Between Poly(dimethylsilane) and Cyclodextrins

Poly(dimethylsilane)s form inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins in high selectivity to give crystalline compounds. β‐Cyclodextrin forms complexes with poly(dimethylsilane)s of low molecular weight only, γ‐cyclodextrin with poly(dimethylsilane)s of high molecular weight in high yield, and α‐cyclodextrin does not form complexes with poly(dimethylsilane) at all. Complexes were isolated and characterized by spectroscopic methods and X‐ray diffraction.     

Inclusion Complexation of a Seleno-Organic Antioxidant, Ebselen, with Cyclodextrins in Aqueous Solution

The interaction of ebselen, 2-phenyl-1,2-benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-one, a novel neuroprotective agent, with cyclodextrins (CyDs) in aqueous solution was studied by the solubility method and spectroscopic methods. The ability of sulfobutyl ether -CyD (SBE7--CyD, average degree of substitution= 6.2) to solubilize ebselen was greater, and its stability constant (> 2000 M^-1) was significantly higher than those (< 1000 M^-1) of other CyD complexes employed. The stability constant of the complexes rose as hydrophobicity of the substituents of CyDs increased, whereas it was negligibly affected by change in ionic strength of the medium, indicating a significant contribution of hydrophobic interaction in the complexation. SBE7--CyD gave positive and negative CD bands at around 320 and 350 nm, respectively, indicating that the guest is embedded in the asymmetric locus of the CyD cavity. ¹H-NMR spectroscopic studies suggested that the mono-substituted benzene ring of ebselen is preferably included in the cavity of SBE7--CyD. The results indicate that SBE7--CyD is useful as a solubilizing agent for ebselen.     

Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Investigation of Inclusion Complex Formation of Cyclodextrins in Room-Temperature Ionic Liquid

Near-infrared spectrometry has been successfully used to determine association binding constants between phenol and -, - and -cyclodextrin (CD) in [butylmethylimidazolium][chloride] room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). It was found that adding CD into the RTIL solution of phenol resulted in an enhancement in the absorption coefficient of the stretching overtone of the aromatic C–H groups. However, the enhancement induced by CDs in RTIL is much lower (order of magnitude) than those corresponding in D₂O. The binding constants in RTIL are also much lower than those in D₂O ((11 ± 2) M^-1, (16 ± 2) M^-1and(40 ± 6) M^-1forphenol and -, - and -CD, respectively. compared to 87 M^-1and 214 M^-1for - and -CD in D₂O). The results obtained seem to suggest that in ionic liquid, the main interaction between phenol and CDs may not be inclusion complex formation but rather external adsorption. A variety of reasons may be responsible for relatively weaker interactions and lower binding constants in ionic liquid including differences in the polarity and viscosity of RTIL and D₂O. However, the main reason may be due to the fact that the cation of the ionic liquid (i.e., butylmethylimidazolium ion) may form inclusion complexes with the cyclodextrin, thereby preventing phenol from being included in cavity of CDs.     

Complex Formation between Polyisoprene and Cyclodextrins

Summary: Polyisoprenes were found to form inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins with high selectivity to give crystalline compounds. β‐Cyclodextrin formed complexes only with polyisoprene of low molecular weight, whereas γ‐cyclodextrin formed complexes with polyisoprenes of high molecular weight. α‐Cyclodextrin did not form complexes with polyisoprene of any molecular weight. The yields of γ‐cyclodextrin complexes increased with increasing molecular weights of the polyisoprenes and reached a maximum of around several thousands, and then decreased.

Inclusion Complex Formation of Thiacalix[4]arene and Xe in Aqueous Solution Studied by Hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR

The inclusion complex formation of 4-sulfothiacalix[4]arene sodium salt (STCAS) and Xe has been investigated by using hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe NMR spectroscopy. Our new continuous-flow type hyperpolarizing system has advantageous capabilities that can supply hyperpolarized gases continuously and directly to a sample solution in a NMR tube. Consequently saturated Xe concentration in the aqueous solution of STCAS is maintained during the NMR experiment, and ¹²⁹Xe NMR spectra can be obtained in remarkably short time. STCAS concentration dependence of ¹²⁹Xe chemical shift has been analyzed in an elaborated way by a computer method as well as a simple graphic method that we have proposed. The association constant K:13.6±0.8 M⁻¹ at 25 °C was obtained, and further analysis of the temperature dependence has successfully given thermodynamic parameters of enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) for the inclusion complex formation: ΔH = −11.9±1.9 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS = −17.4±5.8 JK⁻¹ mol⁻¹. The energetic aspects of complex formation are discussed from the size effect and from the molecular theory of standard entropy, and a release of definite number of water molecules from STCAS cavity is suggested in the inclusion complex formation with Xe.     

Complex Formation of Polybutadiene with Cyclodextrins

Polybutadienes were found to form inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins in high selectivity to give crystalline compounds. α‐Cyclodextrin and β‐cyclodextrin form complexes only with polybutadienes of low molecular weight and high 1,4‐addition content. Polybutadienes with high 1,2‐content gave complexes with γ‐cyclodextrin in low yield. The yields of the γ‐cyclodextrin complexes decreased with increasing molecular weights of the polybutadienes of similar composition. Complexes were isolated and characterized by means of FT‐IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C CP/MAS NMR, ¹³C PST/MAS NMR spectroscopies, and X‐ray diffraction. Inclusion modes are discussed.     

Thermodynamic Data for Complex Formation Between Cucurbituril and Alkali and Alkaline Earth Cations in Aqueous Formic Acid Solution

Complex formation, between alkali and alkaline earth cations and the macrocyclic ligands cucurbituril and 18-crown-6, was studied by calorimetric titration in aqueous formic acid solution (50 vol.%). The solubility of cucurbituril strongly depends on the concentration of formic acid. At low and very high formic acid concentrations, the solubility of cucurbituril is low. For both ligands the formation of proton complexes influence the complexation reactions with cations. Thus, the complex formation in most cases is favored by entropic contributions. Only in the case of the Ba²⁺ ion stability constants and reaction enthalpies could be measured at lower formic acid concentrations. Using a highly sensitive calorimeter, the stability constants and reaction enthalpies for the reaction of Na⁺ and Ba²⁺ with cucurbituril in aqueous solution could be determined.     

Stereoselective Complex Formation between Polybutadiene and Cyclodextrins in Bulk

Polybutadienes (PBs) are found to form inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins (CDs) stereoselectively to give crystalline compounds in bulk. These complexes have been isolated and characterized by means of ¹H NMR and ¹³C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. Although α‐CD did not form inclusion complexes with any kinds of PBs in aqueous solutions, α‐CD did form inclusion complexes with PBs having 1,4‐cis‐ and 1,4‐trans‐butadiene units in bulk by heating at 100 °C. On the other hand, PB having 79% of a 1,2‐structure did not form inclusion complexes with α‐CD. The yield of the inclusion complexes increases with an increase in the content of the 1,4‐cis‐structure of PB and decreases with the molecular weights of the PBs.

Upper Critical Solution Temperature-Type Responsive Cyclodextrins with Characteristic Inclusion Abilities

Water-soluble and thermoresponsive macrocycles with stable inclusion toward guests are highly valuable to construct stimuli-responsive supramolecular materials for versatile applications. Here, we develop such macrocycles – ureido-substituted cyclodextrins (CDs) which exhibit unprecedented upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in aqueous media. These novel CD derivatives showed good solubility in water at elevated temperature, but collapsed from water to form large coacervates upon cooling to low temperature. Their cloud points are greatly dependent on concentration and can be mediated through oxidation and chelation with silver ions. Significantly, the amphiphilicity of these CD derivatives is supportive to host-guest binding, which affords them inclusion abilities to guest dyes. The inclusion complexation remained nearly intact during thermally induced phase transitions, which is in contrast to the switchable inclusion behavior of lower critical solution temperature (LCST)-type CDs. Moreover, ureido-substituted CDs were exploited to co-encapsulate a pair of guest dyes whose fluorescence resonance energy transfer process can be switched by the UCST phase transition. We therefore believe these novel thermoresponsive CDs may form a new strategy for developing smart macrocycles and allow for exploring smart supramolecular materials.     

Fluorescent Vesicular Particles Assembled by Inclusion Complexes Between Cyclodextrins and BPB

Vesicular particles based on inclusion complexes between BPB and γ-HB-β-CDs were prepared and characterized for the first time. The morphologies and sizes were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Particularly, these vesicular particles exhibiting clearly fluorescent dots observed by laser confocal scanning microscopy (LCSM) could be alternative candidates as fluorescent probes and labels being applied to cellular staining, labeling, bio-mimicking and drug delivery. The ultraviolet, fluorescence, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements confirmed the existence of stable 1:1 BPB-γ-HB-β-CD complexes in the system. The vesicular particles were assumed to be constructed by orderly self-aggregates of these inclusion complexes.

Physicochemical Properties and Complex Formation Abilities of Large-Ring Cyclodextrins

Large-ring cyclodextrins (LR-CD) are cyclic -1,4-glucanscomposed of nine to more than several hundred glucopyranose units. The firstdefinitive evidence for the existence of LR-CD with a degree of polymerization between 9and 13 was reported in 1965. That LR-CD study did not reveal anything that attracted attention. LR-CD with a degree of polymerization between 9 and 31 were isolated andcharacterized during the past decade, and so began to attract considerable attention. This mini-review summarizes the findings of LR-CD with regard to the potentialfor host-guest interactions and corresponding applications.     

Formation of Inclusion Complexes between Cyclodextrins and Carbaryl and Characterization of the Complexes

The solubility of carbaryl increased with increasing concentrations of-CD, G₂--CD, and M--CD. The result suggests theformation of soluble inclusion complex. Solubility increase was highestin M--CD-carbaryl, being 18.4 fold higher than that of carbaryl when 100 mM M--CD was used. The apparent formation constant for the complex calculated from phase solubility diagram was 223.18 M^-1. The preparation of the complex in solid form for characterization was successful by kneading andfreeze-drying. The DSC curves for kneading and freeze-drying mixture didnot show the endothermic peak characteristic of carbaryl, but a small new endothermic peak was observed. FTIR analysis showed a shift of the major peak of carbonyl group in carbaryl molecule from 1717 to 1744 and 1734 cm^-1 in kneading and freeze-dried mixtures, respectively. M--CD-carbaryl complex demonstrated higher dissolution rate, higher thermal and UV stability but lower toxicity than its parent carbaryl compound.
