Complexation of niflumic acid with native and hydroxypropylated α‐ and β‐cyclodextrins in aqueous solution

Interactions between niflumic acid and native and hydroxypropylated α‐ and β‐cyclodextrins (CDs) were investigated by ¹H NMR, UV‐vis spectroscopy, densimetry, and calorimetry at pH = 7.4 (phosphate buffer) and T = 298.15 K. Thermodynamic parameters of 1:1 complex formation were calculated and discussed in terms of influence of cavity size and availability of hydroxypropyl substituents on the complex stability. The ¹H NMR data indicated the inclusion of niflumic acid into macrocyclic cavity of all CDs under study. It was found that both phenyl and pyridine rings of niflumic acid molecule can be included in the cyclodextrin cavity. The co‐existence of two different kinds of 1:1 inclusion complexes in the solution was suggested. In spite of the fact that binding of niflumic acid with α‐cyclodextrin is more enthalpically favorable, stability of the inclusion complexes is very low due to the enthalpy–entropy compensation effect. Complex formation of β‐CDs with niflumic acid is characterized by the higher enthalpy and entropy changes caused by more intense dehydration. Introduction of hydroxypropyl groups in the cyclodextrin molecule was found to promote the binding with niflumic acid. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Inclusion complexes of estrone and estradiol with β‐cyclodextrin: Voltammetric and HPLC studies

The interaction of estrone and estradiol with β‐cyclodextrins (βCD) was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in mixed media. The co‐solvent influence on the tendency of these estrogens to form inclusion complexes with βCD was examined. Thus, acetonitrile (MeCN) and ethanol (EtOH) were used in a mixed aqueous medium containing phosphate buffer. The association constant of the inclusion complexes (K_a) of estrone and estradiol with βCD were determined in two different media by using both voltammetric and chromatographic techniques. Estradiol was found to bind to βCD with higher affinities than estrone, irrespective of the medium. We have also found a clear influence of the co‐solvent on the K_a value, which means a competition of co‐solvent molecules with estrogens for binding to the cavity of βCD. Consequently, interaction between βCD and the steroids is weakened when acetonitrile is used. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Inclusion compounds of phenol derivatives with cyclodextrins: a combined spectroscopic and thermal analysis

Inclusion compounds involving α‐, β‐ and γ‐cyclodextrins (α‐, β‐ and γCD) and phenol derivatives, namely 3‐methoxyphenol (3MeOPh), 2‐methoxyphenol (2MeOPh) and 3‐methylphenol (3MePh), were investigated and characterized by combining Raman spectroscopy, ab initio calculations, DSC and TG analysis. The effects of the inclusion process on the guest molecules and on the hydrogen bond interactions of the guests were studied by monitoring sensitive modes, such as C C and C H ring stretching modes. Moreover, the combined use of the data available from Raman spectra, computational methods and the known x‐ray structures of similar compounds, allowed the proposal of most probable structures for the αCD inclusion compounds. Both inclusion compounds of meta‐substituted guests in αCD present unusual 1:2 or 2:3 stoichiometries. The Raman spectra of these inclusion compounds reveal the split of several modes, spread over the entire spectral range, indicating the presence of guest molecules inside and outside the CD cavity.

The effect of hydrogen bond on the vibrational dynamics of genistein free and complexed with β‐cyclodextrins

Inclusion, or host–guest, complexes are supramolecular assemblies in which two or more molecules hold together and organize by means of intermolecular noncovalent bonds. In the pharmaceutical field, inclusion complexation of drugs with unsubstituted and derivative β‐cyclodextrins (β‐CDs) has proven to be a successful method to improve the dissolution of water insoluble drugs. Genistein (Gen), an isoflavone constituent of Onodis spinosae radix, turned out to be a suitable guest molecule for the encapsulation into β‐CD, resulting in a significant improvement of its aqueous solubility. In the present study, the modifications of the vibrational spectrum of Gen caused by its inclusion into β‐CDs cavity have been characterized by means of Raman scattering experiments. These changes have been interpreted by comparing the experimental data with the vibrational wavenumbers and Raman intensities obtained by simulation for the free and complexed guest molecule. Following this strategy, we have obtained a deeper understanding of the host–guest interactions involved in the formation and stabilization of the complexes, with particular regard to the role played by the guest chemical groups, as well as to disentangle the effects directly related to the complexation process from those ascribed to other factors, such as formation of intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Ground-state complex formation of perylene with pyromellitic dianhydride studied by static fluorescence quenching

The association of complex formation with static quenching in CT systems was investigated. Evaluation of the data made evident that the inner filter effect must be allowed for. Time-resolved and temperature-dependent stationary measurements of fluorescence led to the separation of dynamic and static quenching components. The static quenching constant is discussed with respect to the equilibrium constant of complex formation determined by absorption spectroscopy.     

Interaction of water‐soluble triphenylphosphines with β‐cyclodextrin: a quantum chemistry study

The interaction of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) with meta‐trisulfonated triphenylphosphine derivatives bearing one or two methyl (or methoxy) groups on the aromatic rings has been investigated by PM3 calculations. The results show that phosphine molecules interact with β‐CD having either an unsubstituted sulfophenyl group or a substituted sulfophenyl group at the para and/or meta‐position. The presence of one methyl or methoxy group in the ortho‐position on each aromatic ring prevents the formation of an inclusion complex between meta‐trisulfonated triphenylphosphine derivatives and β‐CD. The deeply included phosphines in the β‐CD cavity show significant van der Waals interactions with β‐CD. These interactions are at the origin of the high association constants between these molecules and β‐CD. Phosphines exhibiting small association constants interact with β‐CD by forming H‐bonds and weak (or null) van der Waals interactions. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stabilization of the pesticide Fenitrothion toward O and N nucleophiles in the presence of cyclodextrins

The reaction of Fenitrothion with O and N nucleophiles (H₂O₂, NH₂OH, n‐butylamine and piperidine) was studied at 25 °C in water containing 2% 1,4‐dioxane in the presence of native cyclodextrins (α‐, β‐, and γ‐CD). For all the nucleophiles, the presence of CD produces reaction inhibition with saturation kinetics. The greatest effect in all cases is observed with β‐CD, and the greatest inhibition was observed for the reaction of Fenitrothion with H₂O₂ (81%), which is the most efficient nucleophile in promoting Fenitrothion degradation in homogeneous media. In the absence of CD, competition between the S_N2(P) and the S_N2(C) pathways was observed with piperidine as was reported before for the reaction with NH₂OH and n‐butylamine. The presence of β‐CD does not modify product distribution in the case of the reaction with NH₂OH and n‐butylamine, whereas there is an increase in S_N2(C) pathway when the nucleophile is piperidine.

Binding study of diprophylline with lysozyme by spectroscopic methods

The binding properties of diprophylline (DPP) to lysozyme (Lys) were investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV-vis absorption techniques under simulative physiological conditions. Results of fluorescence measurement indicated that the intrinsic fluorescence of Lys was strongly quenched by DPP. The binding constants and the number of binding sites at different temperatures (298, 310, and 318 K) calculated with the data obtained from fluorescence quenching experiments via the modified Stern-Volmer equation were 8.61×10⁴ L mol⁻¹ and 1.34; 10.36×10⁴ L mol⁻¹ and 1.22; 12.85×10⁴ L mol⁻¹ and 1.11, respectively. Positive values of ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰ obtained according to the Van’t Hoff equation for the formation of the DPP-Lys complex implied that typical hydrophobic interactions might play a significant role during the binding process. Furthermore, the effect of DPP on the conformation change of Lys was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence measurement. The effects of common co-ions on the interaction of DPP with Lys were also discussed.     

Entropy Effects in Intermolecular Associations of Crown-Ethers and Cyclodextrins with Amino Acids in Aqueous and in Non-Aqueous Media

The analysis of the ratios of entropy and enthalpy characteristics and their contributions to the change in the Gibbs energy of intermolecular interactions of crown ethers and cyclodextrins with amino acids is carried out. Two different types of macrocycles were chosen for examination: crown ethers with a hydrophilic interior and cyclodextrins with a hydrophobic inner cavity and a hydrophilic exterior. The thermodynamics of complex formation of crown ethers and cyclodextrins with amino acids in water and aqueous-organic solvents of variable composition was examined. The contributions of the entropy solvation of complexes of 18-crown-6 with glycine, alanine, phenylalanine to the change in the entropy of complexation in water-ethanol and water-dimethyl sulfoxide solvents was calculated and analyzed. It was found that the ratios of the entropy and enthalpy solvation of the reagents for these systems have similar trends when moving from water to aqueous-organic mixtures. The relationship between the thermodynamic characteristics and structural features of the complexation processes between cyclodextrins and amino acids has been established. The thermodynamic enthalpy–entropy compensation effect was revealed, and its features for complexation of cyclodextrins and 18-crown-6 were considered. It was concluded that, based on the thermodynamic parameters of molecular complexation, one could judge the mode of the formation of complexes, the main driving forces of the interactions, and the degree of desolvation.     

Reactivity of the insecticide chlorpyrifos‐methyl toward hydroxyl and perhydroxyl ion. Effect of cyclodextrins

The reactivity of Chlorpyrifos‐Methyl ( 1 ) toward hydroxyl ion and the α‐nucleophile, perhydroxyl ion was investigated in aqueous basic media. The hydrolysis of 1 was studied at 25 °C in water containing 10% ACN or 7% 1,4‐dioxane at NaOH concentrations between 0.01 and 0.6 M ; the second‐order rate constant is 1.88 × 10^?2 M ^?1 s^?1 in 10% ACN and 1.70 × 10^?2 M ^?1 s^?1 in 7% 1,4‐dioxane. The reaction with H₂O₂ was studied in a pH range from 9.14 to 12.40 in 7% 1,4‐dioxane/H₂O; the second‐order rate constant for the reaction of HOO^? ion is 7.9 M ^?1 s^?1 whereas neutral H₂O₂ does not compete as nucleophile. In all cases quantitative formation of 3,5,6‐trichloro‐2‐pyridinol ( 3 ) was observed indicating an S_N2(P) pathway. The hydrolysis reaction is inhibited by α‐, β‐, and γ‐cyclodextrin showing saturation kinetics; the greater inhibition is produced by γ‐cyclodextrin. The reaction with hydrogen peroxide is weakly inhibited by α‐ and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD), whereas γ‐cyclodextrin produces a greater inhibition and saturation kinetics. The kinetic data obtained in the presence of β‐ or γ‐cyclodextrin for the reaction with hydroxyl or perhydroxyl ion indicate that the main reaction pathway for the cyclodextrin‐mediated reaction is the reaction of HO^? or HOO^? ion with the substrate complexed with the anion of the cyclodextrin. The inhibition is attributed to the inclusion of the substrate with the reaction center far from the ionized secondary OH groups of the cyclodextrin and protected from external attack of the nucleophile. Sucrose also inhibits the hydrolysis reaction but the effect is independent of its concentration. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Interaction of chlorogenic acid with milk proteins analyzed by spectroscopic and modeling methods

Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants implicated in reducing the risk of human cancer and cardiovascular disease. Chlorogenic acid is a principal polyphenol in coffee, a beverage consumed worldwide on an immense scale. In many countries, coffee is consumed with milk, which has been shown to affect the bioavailability of polyphenols. Here we assessed the interactions of chlorogenic acid with five major milk proteins (α-casein, β-casein, κ-casein, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin) by spectroscopy and molecular docking calculations. The data showed that the number of binding sites in each chlorogenic acid–milk protein complex was close to 1. Fluorescence quenching of milk proteins by chlorogenic acid occurred through a static mechanism and the binding distance was smaller than 8 nm. Binding constant for chlorogenic acid–β-lactoglobulin was larger than those for chlorogenic acid-α-lactalbumin, chlorogenic acid–α-casein, chlorogenic acid–β-casein, and chlorogenic acid–κ-casein. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bond interactions predominated in chlorogenic acid–α-casein and chlorogenic acid–α-lactalbumin complexes; hydrophobic interactions were predominant in chlorogenic acid–β-casein, chlorogenic acid–κ-casein, and chlorogenic acid–β-lactoglobulin. Molecular docking calculations identified chlorogenic acid was located near Pse66, Ile65, and Pro29 in the chlorogenic acid–α-casein adduct, Leu138, Thr126, Gln123, Ser124, Gln167, Ser166, Ser168 in the chlorogenic acid–β-casein adduct, Glu147, Asn123, Val143, Pse149, Pro120, Leu79, Ala148 in the chlorogenic acid–κ-casein adduct, Glu49, Tyr103, Gln54, His32, Trp104, Leu110 in the chlorogenic acid–α-lactalbumin adduct, and Cys66, Leu22, Lys60, Trp61, Ser21, Lys69, Gln59 in the chlorogenic acid–β-lactoglobulin adduct. Notably, the antioxidant activity of chlorogenic acid decreased significantly on interaction with each of the milk proteins (p < 0.05). This study reveals the binding behaviors of chlorogenic acid with five milk proteins and provides basic data that can help to clarify the binding mechanism.

Surface and bulk properties of hot-pressed PbMo6S8 superconductor studied by Auger electron spectroscopy and calorimetry

A direct observation of the grain-boundary phases for several well-characterized hot-pressed PbMo₆S₈ samples were made by Auger electron spectroscopy. The surface elemental concentrations are completely different when compared to its bulk composition. The thickness of this altered composition is in the range 100–200 Å gradually increasing with increase in hotpressing temperature. Also, evidence of segregation of impurities, such as carbon and SiO_x, to the grain-boundaries were noticed for some of the samples. Calorimetric experiments show a continuous broadening and a reduction in amplitude of the specific heat anomaly atT _c . This in terms of superconducting volume fraction indicates aT _c distribution in the range 9–15 K. Such an observation can be related to the local inhomogeneities with respect to the ternary composition, i.e., a deviation from ideal stoichiometry, PbMo₆S₈. The results are discussed in conjunction with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. By considering the grain-boundary phases and the calorimetric observation of inhomogeneities, a plausible explanation is given for the low critical current densities in these materials.
