Reduction of phytotoxicity of nonionic tensides by cyclodextrins

The effect of nonionic tenside nonylphenylnonylglycolate and its -, -, -cyclodextrin, 2,6-di-O-methyl--cyclodextrin (DIMEB) and 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl--cyclodextrin (TRIMEB) complexes was tested on the potassium influx of wheat seedling roots. Tenside alone inhibited strongly the potassium influx. This noxious effect was alleviated by cyclodextrins. The alleviating effect increased with increasing cyclodextrin: tenside molar ratio, in the order: DIMEB>CD>CD>CDTRIMEB.Presented at the Fourth Internatinal Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena and the Third International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, Lancaster, U.K., 20–25 July 1986.     

Cyclodextrins and the Biopharmaceutics Classification System of Drugs

Although the biopharmaceutics classification system (BCS) was originally developed for solid oral dosage forms this system can be extended to other types of drug delivery forms. According to the BCS aqueous solubility and permeability are the most important parameters affecting drug bioavailability. Cyclodextrins can enhance the aqueous solubility of lipophilic drugs without changing their intrinsic ability to permeate biological membranes. Thus, through cyclodextrin complexation it is possible to move Class II drugs, and sometimes even Class IV drugs, into Class I. However, cyclodextrins can decrease bioavailability of Class I drugs and will in most cases not improve bioavailability of Class III drugs. Through formation of drug/cyclodextrin/polymer ternary complexes it is possible to enhance the complexation efficacy of cyclodextrins and at the same time improve drug bioavailability from cyclodextrin containing drug formulations.     

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.

A Simulation on the Complexation of Cyclodextrins with Phospholipid Headgroups

The inclusion complexes of α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin (CD) with three isolated phospholipid (PI – phosphatidylinositol; PS – phosphatidylserine; and PE – phosphatidylethanolamine) headgroups were studied using a flexible docking algorithm FDOCK based on molecular mechanics (CFF91 force filed). In the three phospholipid headgroups, PI headgroup exhibits the strongest affinity for CD, and the affinity of PS headgroup is greater than that of PE headgroup. By investigating the energy distribution and the complex structure in the inclusion procedure, it can be found that the van der Waals force is the main driving force responsible for the complexation. For the α-CD complex of PI headgroup, more than one inclusion complex should coexist due to the steric hindrance, which is reasonably consistent with the experimental results. Furthermore, analyses of the complex of PS and PE headgroup with α-CD also show that two or three possible complexes may appear in the inclusion process, and the complex structure with full inclusion is of the lowest energy and should be the most stable structure in the mixture. For β-␣and γ-CD, the energies of the most stable complexes structures for the three phospholipids headgroups were also discussed.     

Complexation of Manidipine with Cyclodextrins and their Derivatives

Manidipine (MDP,(±)-2-[-(diphenylmethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethylmethyl-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4(m-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate methyl-ester) is a poorlysoluble (<1 g/mL) long acting antihypertensive drug. Salt formingwith citric or tartaric acid results in a 400 to 600 fold solubilityenhancement, respectively, which can be further increased by an order ofmagnitude with cyclodextrins. Dimethyl-CD alone results in a more than8000 fold solubility enhancement. Besides the strongly enhanced solubility¹HNMR spectroscopy also proves the inclusion-type interactionbetween Manidipine and cyclodextrins. From the attained 5-8 mg/mL solubilityof the drug in water an improved bioavailability and pharmacokinetics isexpected.     

Release Characteristics of Iodine Encapsulated in Cyclodextrins

The effect of cyclodextrins (CDs) on water solubility of iodine was investigated. Modified CDs greatly enhanced the solubility of iodine. On the contrary, enhancement by natural CDs was rather moderate whereby the solubility was only doubled at the highest β-CD concentration examined. Desorption experiment of iodine from solution was carried out with addition of various CDs to study the effect of CDs on iodine retention. α-CD was the most efficient in retarding iodine desorption. Later, various concentrations of α-CD were used in the desorption experiment to observe its volatile suppression effect and determine the stability constant of iodine/α-CD complexation. At α-CD concentration of 10.3 mM, no lost of iodine from the solution was detected. A model was developed for desorption of iodine from the solution based on mass transfer theory. The stability constant K given by this model was 3.28×10⁴ M⁻¹ which was in the same order as the value estimated in this study by solubility method and as well those reported by other authors. In release experiments of solid state inclusion complexes, stability of inclusion complex powders decreased in the order of α-CD>β-CD>randomly methylated β-CD (RM-β-CD).     

Effects of Cyclodextrins on Chymotrypsin Action

Inhibition by cyclodextrins ofchymotrypsin-catalysed hydrolysis of N-acetyl-L-tyrosineethyl ester (ATEE) and of N-succinyl-L-phenylalaninep-nitroanilide (SUPHEPA) was measured. Rates ofproteolysis are reduced by a factor of three tofour by a four-molar ratio of cyclodextrin tosubstrate, except for -cyclodextrin andSUPHEPA where the rate reduction is much less.The kinetics of inhibition, as well as NMR andUV measurements, were used to measureassociation constants between the cyclodextrinsand substrates. Agreement between these methodsconfirmed that inhibition by cyclodextrins isdue to steric effects at the substrate, ratherthan direct interaction with the enzyme.     

Host–Guest Interaction Study of Resveratrol With Natural and Modified Cyclodextrins

The aim of this work is to increase the stability and water solubility of resveratrol by complexation with different cyclodextrins. Furthermore, physical–chemical properties of each inclusion compound were investigated. Complexes of resveratrol with cyclodextrins both native (α, β, γ) and modified (2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin) were obtained by using the suspension method. An inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin was also prepared by using the microwave. Solid state characterization of the products was carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (DRX); solution studies were performed by UV–Vis spectrophotometry and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. Phase solubility profiles with all cyclodextrins employed were classified as A_N type, indicating the formation of 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complexes. Stability constants (K _c) from the phase solubility diagrams were calculated. Stability studies in the solid state and in solution were performed; the photodegradation by UV–Vis spectrophotometry was monitored. The isomerization rate trans to cis, in ethanol solution, decreased with inclusion. The dissolution studies revealed that resveratrol dissolution rate was improved by the formation of inclusion complexes.     

Intramolecular Inclusion of L-tryptophan within 3-functionalized Cyclodextrins

Abstract

The synthesis of L-tryptophan attached to the C3 group of a β-cyclodextrin through amide linkages with ethylenediamine or propylenediamine is reported. Circular dichroism and fluorescence investigations were carried out showing great differences between the two derivatives. The derivative containing the propylenediamine chain shows clear self-inclusion and exhibits spectral variations upon guest inclusion detected both by circular dichroism or by fluorescence. The difference in conformation of the two derivatives could be explained on the basis of the chain length.

The structures of these complexes are discussed.     

New Textile Applications of Cyclodextrins

New areas of applications of cyclodextrins with textiles are possible. The abilityof cyclodextrins to form inclusion complexes can be used, e.g., to remove malodorfrom textile materials. The permanent fixation of cyclodextrins offers new textileswith interesting properties. Thus the formation of body odor is reduced by thecomplexation of the organic compounds of sweat. The release of perfumes fromcyclodextrins is possible by the use of textiles with fixed cyclodextrins. Pharmaceutical compounds are also set free in contact with the skin. Last but not least the analysis of the different compounds of the human sweat complexed by the cyclodextrins offers new possibilities in medical diagnostics.     

Inhibitory Effect of Cyclodextrins on the Discoloration Reaction of an Anthocyanidin, Pelargonidin Chloride, in Acidic Media

An anthocyanidin, pelargonidin (PG), loses its color with time in acidic media. The rate determining step of the discoloration reaction at pH 1–4 is the nucleophilic attack of the OH^- ion on PG to give a hemiacetal, which readily isomerizes to the corresponding -diketone. Native, branched, and methylated cyclodextrins (CDs) form inclusion complexes with PG to retard the discoloration. The inhibitory effect (copigmentation) of CDs on the PG discoloration is slight in -CD, significant in - and -CDs, and the largest in heptakis(2,6-dimethyl)--CD (DM--CD). The -CD and DM--CD include the phenyl moiety of PG, whereas -CD includes the benzopyrylium moiety of PG. The CD cavities protect the reaction site of included PG from the attack of the OH^- ion.     

Energetics of Water/Cyclodextrins Interactions

The heat capacities of solid -CD, 8.1 H₂O and -CD, 6.0 H₂O have been measured between 10 and 300 K by adiabatic calorimetry. Using earlier results obtained in similar experiments with anhydrous cyclodextrins and with -CD, 9.7 H₂O, a comparative analysis has been developed. The energetic behaviours of anhydrous and hydrated cyclodextrins (CDs) have been compared in order to investigate the role of water molecules in the stabilization of the cyclodextrin's rings and on their reactivities. Calculations, based on the additivity of thermodynamic properties, provide the energetic and entropic average contributions of water molecules in each cyclodextrin. From these results, we assumed that the water–water and water–CD interactions are rather different according to the cyclodextrin. In the (-CD, 9.7 H₂O) structure, the water molecules seem to be better organised in a relatively independent network. Concerning hydrated -CD and -CD, stronger water–CD interactions probably prevent an optimal organisation of the water–water bonds network. Differential scanning calorimetry was also used to follow the evolution of the thermal behaviour of -CD, nH₂O versus hydration ratio between 170 and 300 K. Our results indicate that the -CD ring needs at least 1.6 water molecules to be stabilized in the solid state.     

Surface Plasmon Resonance to Determine Apparent Stability Constants for the Binding of Cyclodextrins to Small Immobilized Guests

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been used to determine apparent stabilityconstants for the non-covalent interactions of cyclodextrin (CD) hosts with smallorganic guests. This technique allows detection of the molecular interactions bymonitoring changes in refractive index at gold surfaces on which the guests areimmobilized. The magnitude of an SPR response is proportional to the mass changeat a surface, and thus the technique has most commonly been used in the past to studylarge molecules such as proteins and DNA. Now SPR has been employed to study theinteractions of CD, CD, CD, per-2,6-dimethyl-CDand Molecusol^TM (hydroxypropyl-CD) with immobilizedN-(1-adamantylmethyl)-, N-octyl-, N-benzyl-, N-(4-methylbenzyl)-,N-(4-tert-butylbenzyl)- and N-(1-pyrenylmethyl)-amides. Methods areoutlined for obtaining high-quality, reproducible binding data. The magnitudes(10²–10⁴ M^-1) and trends in the apparent stability constants so observedare generally consistent with values reported for analogous solution-phase studies. Theresults show that SPR is suitable to study host–guest interactions of small molecules such as cyclodextrins.     

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.

Innovative Cross-Linked Polyurethane Networks Based on Cyclodextrins and Polyethylene Glycols: Inclusion Capacity and Potential Use as Controlled Release Carrier for Nifedipine

Summary: Polymers derived from cyclodextrins show several biomedical applications. In this paper, six cross-linked polyurethane networks based on β-cyclodextrin (βCD) or hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) and polyethylene glycols (PEG 400, PEG 1500 or PEG 4000) were synthesized by the usual two-step polymerization method. The polymers were characterized by Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The inclusion capacity was evaluated by the discoloration method of a phenolphthalein solution. In order to explore their potential use as controlled drug delivery systems, dissolution profiles and release behavior of inclusion complexes between PUR/TDI/βCD/PEG4000 or PUR/TDI/HPβCD/PEG1500 and nifedipine (NIF) were investigated. FTIR assignments confirmed the formation of urethane linkages. XRD patterns revealed that the crystallinity decreased mainly due to the crosslinking process. TGA showed three stages of mass loss attributed to water loss, cleavage of urethane bonds and volatilization of decomposition products. The inclusion capacity of cyclodextrins cross-linked with polyurethane was suitably maintained. Dissolution profiles demonstrated that the inclusion complexes PUR/TDI/βCD/PEG4000-NIF and PUR/TDI/HPβCD/PEG1500-NIF are feasible systems for controlling drug release, showing a biexponential release behavior.
