Inclusion complexes of sulfanilamide with β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

Sulfanilamide belongs to the group of drugs that have a bacteriostatic effect on different pathogenic microorganisms. This activity originates from the competitive antagonism with p-aminobenzoic acid, which is an integral part of folic acid. The safe use of sulfanilamide is limited due to poor solubility in the aqueous medium. Therefore, the aim of this paper is the synthesis of sulfanilamide, as well as preparing and structural characterization of its inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. The crude sulfanilamide was obtained in the synthesis between acetanilide and chlorosulfonic acid according to the standard procedure. The synthesized sulfanilamide was recrystallized from water in order to obtain the satisfactory purity of the substance. Sufanilamide was complexed with β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin by the co-precipitation method. A molecular encapsulation of sulfanilamide was confirmed by using FTIR, ¹H-NMR, XRD and DSC methods. Phase-solubility techniques were used to assess the formation of the inclusion complex between sulfanilamide and cyclodextrins. The photostability of sulfanilamide and its inclusion complexes was estimated by UVB irradiation in a photochemical reactor by applying the UV–Vis method. Based on the UV–Vis analysis, sulfanilamide:2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex was presented as more photostable than sulfanilamide:β-cyclodextrin complex and sulfanilamide. The obtained results enable the potential use of these inclusion complexes for the preparation of oral formulations due to the enhanced solubility of sulfanilamide.

Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry - The inclusion complex of PrCl3-XH2O-2-hidroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (Pr-2HPβCD) was prepared to increase the solubility and stability of...     

Iron-containing nanoparticles based on the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in aqueous solutions

The water-soluble hybrid nanoparticles based on high-substituted 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin were formed in situ during the reduction of iron(+2) salts by hypophosphite ion in alkaline medium. These nanoparticles are high sensitive to temperature and ultrasonication. It was established that the temperature and ultrasonication time of exposure increase leads to the successive dissociation of the nanoparticles.     

Crystallization and polymorphic transition behavior of chloramphenicol palmitate in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin matrix

Chloramphenicol palmitate (CPP) was converted to an amorphous complex when spray-dried with 2-hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CyD), and no crystallization of CPP was observed for at least 2 months under the storage condition of 50°C and 50% relative humidity. The dissolution rate of CPP/HP--CyD complex in aqueous HCO-60 solution was much faster than CPP polymorphs (complex > metastable forms (B and subB) > stable form (A)), which was reflected in thein-vivo absorption behavior of CPP following oral administration in dogs.     

Effect of 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin on Release Rate of Metoprolol from Ternary Metoprolol/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin/Ethylcellulose Tablets

The effect of 2-hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CyD) on the release of a water-soluble ₁-selective adrenoreceptor antagonist, metoprolol (Met), from ternary Met/HP--CyD/ethylcellulose (EC) tablets was investigated. The release rate of Met from the ternary tablets was dependent on amounts of HP--CyD in the tablets, i.e., the rate decreased when small amounts of HP--CyD were added, while large amounts of HP--CyD accelerated the rate. The slowest rate was observed for the tablet consisted of a 30/10/60 weight ratio of Met/HP--CyD/EC. The analyses of the release rates by the Korsmeyer equation and their temperature dependence suggested that Met is released from the EC matrix containing HP--CyD according to the diffusion-controlled mechanism. The water penetration studies and the micro- and macroscopic observations suggested that the retarding effect of HP--CyD is attributable to a viscous gel formation in small pores on the surface of the tablets, where HP--CyD gels may work as a barrier for the water penetration into the tablets and the release of the drug from the tablets. The in-vitro release property of the ternary tablets was reflected in the in-vivo absorption profile in dogs. The results indicated that a combination of HP--CyD and EC is useful for the release control of water-soluble drugs such as Met.     

Preclinical pharmacokinetics comparison between resveratrol 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex and resveratrol suspension after oral administration

Trans-Resveratrol (RV) is a natural polyphenol characterized by interesting pleiotropic potentials and health benefits, but its administration is hampered by a unsatisfactory pharmacokinetics. Various approaches have been identified to circumvent it: among them, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrins (HPβCD) are valuable strategy. Here, we compare the employment of HPβCD based formulation with a resveratrol nanosupension (obtained by diluting a RV ethanol solution with PBS, added of 0.05 % hydroxyethylcellulose) to improve RV bioavailability after oral administration to mice. The inclusion of RV in HPβCD was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, and phase solubility study. The two formulations were orally administered to BALB-c mice. RV concentrations in plasma and tissues were detected at different time (0–120 min) by HPLC method. HPβCD complexation mediate a approximately fourfold increment in plasma RV C_max and  approximately twofold augment of RV AUC_0-120 in comparison with RV nanosuspension. Similar increased concentrations were observed in heart, liver, kidney and gut. In particular, HPβCD mediated a 5.5-folds increase of resveratrol concentration in the intestine, in comparison to the nanosuspension. In conclusion, based on our results, HPβCD complexation is a promising approach to increase the oral bioavailability of RV. Moreover, the achievement of high concentrations in gut suggested a potential employment of oral RV-HPβCD as anti-inflammatory/chemopreventive agent in this tissue.     

Characterization of the complexation of tauro- and glyco-conjugated bile salts with γ-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin using affinity capillary electrophoresis

The complexation of seven bile salts, present in the small intestine of rat, dog and man, (taurocholate, tauro-β-muricholate, taurodeoxycholate, taurochenodeoxycholate, glycocholate, glycodeoxycholate and glycochenodeoxycholate) with γ-cyclodextrin and the chemically modified 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin, was studied using affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE). The cyclodextrins (CDs) were investigated due to their use in drug formulation as excipients for solubilisation of poorly soluble drugs and drug candidates. Using mobility shift ACE, the bile salt cyclodextrin interactions were characterized demonstrating 1:1 binding stoichiometry with stability constants ranging from 2 × 10³ to 8 × 10⁴ M^?1. The binding constants showed a systematic dependence on the number and position of hydroxyl groups on the steroid skeleton and the stability constants were in general higher for complexation with the native cyclodextrin than with the modified cyclodextrin. Based upon the size of the complexation constants, it was suggested that the interaction between the CDs and the bile salts takes place at the C and D ring of the steroid skeleton. The complexation of bile salts with the γ-cyclodextrins may compete with drug-γ-cyclodextrin complex formation and, thus, potentially affect drug absorption and efficacy.     

The interaction of biliar acids with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in solution and in the solid state

The interaction of two biliar acids (chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid) with 2-hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HPCD) in solution and in the solid state was studied using different techniques. The formation of an inclusion complex with a 1:1 stoichiometry was suggested by the phase solubility studies. Both differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffractometry exhibited the amorphous state of the complex. The inclusion of both biliar acids into the HPCD cavity was confirmed by the¹³C-NMR studies. Cholic acid showed a weaker affinity with respect to chenodeoxycholic acid probably owing to the presence of a hydroxyl group onC(12) (12) close to the complexation site.     

Effect of substitution degree of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin on the alkaline hydrolysis of cinnamaldehyde to benzaldehyde

The yield of benzaldehyde in the 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD), with a low degree of substitution (DS = 3.9), catalytic system was 70%, which was higher than that of the system with 8.8 DS under the optimised conditions (323 K, 2% NaOH (w/v), cinnamaldehyde:2-HP-β-CD = 1:1 (molar ratio)). Due to the structural complementary effects of the host and guest, cyclodextrins (CDs) played the catalysis role in the reaction, which was confirmed by kinetic studies and solubilisation. The characterisation of NMR and fluorescence measurement suggested that the extent of hydroxypropyl substitution affected the cavity structure of the CD molecule. The hydroxypropyl groups at O₂ positions were spatially spread out but restricted, which affected the molecular encapsulation capabilities.     

Calorimetry to Evaluate Inclusion Mechanism in the Complexation Between 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and Barbiturates in Aqueous Solution

Two different types (structures) of inclusion complexes with a 1:1 stoichiometry between barbiturates and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCyD) were realized in aqueous solution using isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulation. The first type of complex with a higher association constant was entropy driven and the substituent R ₂ was inserted into the HPCyD cavity by hydrophobic interaction. The barbituric acid ring contributed to the second type of complex, which was characterized by large negative values of ΔH and small positive ΔS reflecting van der Waals interaction and/or hydrogen bonding formation between the hetero atoms in the barbituric acid ring and the secondary hydroxyl groups of HPCyD. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effect of external factors on the curcumin/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin: in vitro and in vivo study

The effect of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) on solubility, stability and oral bioavailability of curcumin by external factors adjustment, was investigated with an aim of a simple, stable and effective formulation. The phase solubility studies showed the solubility of curcumin increased slightly with increasing pH. However, the apparent stability constant (K _S) were found to decrease with increasing pH from 1.29?×?10⁴?M^?1 at pH 3.0 to 5.22?×?10³?M^?1 at pH 7.0. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated for inclusion complex formation in aqueous solution. Interestingly, it could be concluded that the degrees of curcumin stability improved by HPβCD grew with increasing drug–cyclodextrin binding ability. Furthermore, in vivo study not only revealed that the bioavailability of curcumin after oral administration to rats was significantly improved by curcumin/HPβCD inclusion complex, but also showed more dramatic changes in the plasma concentration–time curve (1752.76–866.70?ng?mL^?1?h) and the peak plasma concentration (370.10–178.11?ng?mL^?1) of drug by formation of complexes in pH 3–7 solution.     

Inclusion of chemotherapeutic agents in substituted ��-cyclodextrin derivatives

The stabilities of the inclusion compounds of three chemotherapeutic agents, camptothecin (CPT), docetaxel (DOC) and idarubicin (IDA), plus a model compound 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone (DHA) with several ??-cyclodextrin (??-CD) derivatives were investigated by solubility measurements, isothermal titration microcalorimetry and fluorescence anisotropy measurements. Ionic heptakis-(6-deoxy-6-thioethers) of ??-CD were found to exhibit very high binding potentials for these drugs making them to good candidates for advanced drug delivery.     

Synthesis of per-substituted hydrophilic and hydrophobic ��-cyclodextrin derivatives

The aim of this work was to synthesize new cyclodextrin derivatives from native ??-cyclodextrin by allylation reactions and indium metal in aqueous and organic medium. The resulted products could be used to prepare a new hydrophilic pharmaceutical active ingredient. A hydrophobic derivative can also be prepared by the same method. Indeed, the allylation reactions allow the creation of a stereogenic centers and the introduction of an allyl group lead to development of various functionalization of CD sites. Natural ??-cyclodextrin was treated with allyl bromide and sodium hydride in dimethylformamide (DMF) at room temperature, which resulted in the formation of O-perallylated ??-cyclodextrin A₁ (98%). Through successive reactions of oxidation, reduction and allylation, the latter was converted into per 2, 3, 6-tri-O-(2-hydroxypent-4-enyl) ??-cyclodextrins A₄ (40%). Others derivates of CD type B₃ and C₃ were synthesized by series of reaction to give multifunctionalized cyclodextrins with yield of 25 and 30%, respectively.     

Study of complex formation between ��-cyclodextrin and benzene

In this work study of complex formation of ??-cyclodextrin with benzene was performed both experimentally and theoretically. Interaction of benzene with ??-cyclodextrin in aqueous solutions was investigated by means of UV spectroscopy at temperatures in the range 291?C303 K. The stoichiometric composition, stability constant, and thermodynamic parameters of ????-cyclodextrin-benzene?? supramolecular structures formation were calculated from spectroscopic data. It was proved that 1:1 inclusion complex is mainly formed in aqueous solutions. The calculations of a spatial structure, formation energy, and vibration spectra in IR range for the complex of ??-cyclodextrin with benzene were performed by Hartree?CFock?CRoothaan method within PM3 semiempirical approximation with quantum chemistry package GAMESS (version 6.4). The calculated energy parameters for ????-cyclodextrin-benzene?? inclusion complex are in agreement with experimental data.     

Large inclusion constants of ��-cyclodextrin with carborane derivatives

Complexation of some o-, m- and p-carborane derivatives with ??-cyclodextrin was investigated using phenolphthalein in pH 10.5 (0.05 mol dm^?3) borate buffer. Some carborane derivatives indicated large inclusion constants K_ass > 1 × 10⁵ dm³ mol^?1.     

Host–guest system of 4-nerolidylcatechol in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin: preparation, characterization and molecular modeling

The interaction of 4-nerolidylcatechol (4-NRC), a potent antioxidant agent, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was investigated by the solubility method using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) methods in addition to UV–Vis, ¹H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular modeling. The inclusion complexes were prepared using grinding, kneading and freeze-drying methods. According to phase solubility studies in water a B_S-type diagram was found, displaying a stoichiometry complexation of 2:1 (drug:host) and stability constant of 6494 ± 837 M^?1. Stoichiometry was established by the UV spectrophotometer using Job’s plot method and, also confirmed by molecular modeling. Data from ¹H-NMR, and FTIR, experiments also provided formation evidence of an inclusion complex between 4-NRC and HP-β-CD. 4-NRC complexation indeed led to higher drug solubility and stability which could probably be useful to improve its biological properties and make it available to oral administration and topical formulations.     

Electrochemical study of indapamide and its complexation with ��-cyclodextrin

Electrochemical oxidation of indapamide has been investigated at glassy carbon electrode using cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Indapamide exhibited two well resolved signals which attributed to the oxidation of indoline ring and benzamide moiety in phosphate buffers in the pH range of 2.7?C10.1. The oxidation processes have been shown to be irreversible and diffusion controlled. The formation of an inclusion complex of indapamide with ??-cyclodextrin (??-CD) has been investigated by cyclic, differential pulse voltammetry as well as UV?CVis spectrophotometry. The stability constant of the complex was determined to be 6199 and 2717 M^?1 using differential pulse voltammetry and UV?CVis spectrophotometry, respectively.     

Preparation of natural borneol/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex and its effect on the absorption of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate in mouse

Natural borneol (NB)/2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) inclusion complex has been prepared, and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The phase solubility and release of NB, and its effect on the absorption of tetramethylpyrazine phosphate (TMPP) in mice were also measured. The results demonstrated that NB could be efficiently loaded into HP-β-CD to form an inclusion complex at a mass ratio of 1 : 6, and the inclusion complex had different physicochemical characteristics from free NB. The profile of phase solubility displayed a typical A(L)-type, indicating the formation of 1 : 1 stoichiometric inclusion complex. Additionally, the stability of the inclusion complex was greatly improved compared with that of NB. The results of absorption of TMPP in mouse indicated that NB/HP-β-CD enhanced the absorption of TMPP and the concentration of TMPP in brain tissue, especially in the early period. Both TMPP plasma and brain concentration-time courses in mice were fitted to open two-compartment model with first-order absorption after oral administration of TMPP with NB/HP-β-CD. However, the use of NB/HP-β-CD did not change the in vivo behavior of TMPP. Our results suggest the application potential of NB/HP-β-CD inclusion in pharmaceutics.     

Enantioselective extraction of hydrophilic 2-chloromandelic acid enantiomers by hydroxypropyl-��-cyclodextrin: experiments and modeling

Enantioselective extraction of hydrophilic 2-chloromandelic acid (CMA) enantiomers from organic to aqueous phase with hydroxypropyl-??-cyclodextrin (HP-??-CD) as the selector was investigated. Equilibrium of the extraction system was modeled using a reactive extraction model with a homogeneous aqueous phase reaction. The influence of important process variables on the extraction efficiency, such as the type of the organic solvent and ??-cyclodextrin derivatives (??-CDs), concentration of the selector, pH and temperature, was investigated by experiment and modeling. Important parameters of this model were determined experimentally. Results showed that the experimental data agree with the model prediction perfectly and the model was further applied to accurately predict the extraction efficiency influenced simultaneously by pH and the concentration of HP-??-CD. Combining the experiment and the model data, the best extraction conditions were: pH of 2.5, HP-??-CD concentration of 0.05 mol L^?1, and temperature of 5°C, providing the enantioselectivity of 1.285 and the performance factor (pf) of 0.011.
