Effect of n-alkyl chain length on the complexation of phenanthrene and 9-alkyl-phenanthrene with beta-cyclodextrin

The characteristics of host-guest complexation between beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and phenanthrene derivatives (phenanthrene, n-propyl, n-butyl and n-hexyl-phenanthrene) were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry. Linear and non-linear regression methods were used to estimate the formation constants (K1). A 1:1 stoichiometric ratio and an effect of n-alkyl chain length on the formation constant were observed for the binary inclusion complex between guest and beta-CD. The formation constant dramatically increases with the length of n-alkyl, it starts from the value of 140 l mol(-1) for the phenanthrene to reach the value of 580 l mol(-1) for hexyl-phenanthrene. The effect of the temperature on the fluorescence intensity of each complex (guest-host) was also studied; and then the thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The main inclusion site seems to be aromatic moiety for short chain molecules, and it moves toward the alkyl chain part, as the chain becomes longer.     

Application of cyclodextrin-mediated capillary electrophoresis to determine the apparent binding constants and thermodynamic parameters of the alkylnaphthalene derivatives

The separation and migration behavior of seven positional and structural neutral alkylnaphthalene derivatives in cyclodextrin-mediated capillary electrophoresis were systematically investigated. The effective separation conditions were to use 10 mM phosphate buffer with negatively charged carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CM-beta-CD) at pH 6.0. The guest-host interactions with 1:1 or both 1:1 and 1:2 binding stoichiometries for various derivatives were evaluated by comparing their apparent binding constants. The results reveal that the substituent group(s) attached to the naphthalene ring significantly affected the inclusion stoichiometric behaviors. Alkylnaphthalene derivatives with the substituent(s) at the 1-position(s), such as 1-ethylnaphthalene, 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene, may undergo complexation with one and two CM-beta-CD molecules. The binding constants of these derivatives were consistent with the data obtained by a spectrophotometric method. The thermodynamic parameters were also calculated in order to improve our understanding of the interaction between the neutral alkylnaphthalene derivatives and CM-beta-CD at various temperatures. The positive entropy (deltaS degrees) values of the alkylnaphthalenes with the substituent(s) at the 2-position(s) indicate that the inclusion of the guest molecule into the cavity of CM-beta-CD is favored at all temperatures.     

Synthesis and electrochemical behavior of inclusion complexes based on β-cyclodextrin and alkylaromatic compounds: Electrochemical carboxylation of the β-cyclodextrin-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethylchloride inclusion complex on a glassy-carbon cathode in anhydrous dimethylformamide

Inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin with alkylaromatic compounds β-cyclodextrin-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethylchloride in the “guest-host” molar ratio of 1 : 2 and β-cyclodextrin-methyl-(4-isobutylphenyl)ketone in the “guest-host” molar ratio of 1 : 1, are synthesized, isolated, and characterized. It is shown that preparative electrocarboxylation of the inclusion complex β-cyclodextrin-1-(4-isobutylphenyl)ethylchloride on a glassy-carbon cathode with a dissolving magnesium anode in dimethylformamide affords S-forms of 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (S-Ibuprofen) in a high enantiomeric excess (97%). In addition to the acid, a dimer and a hydride form from the corresponding intermediates.     

Spectroscopic investigations and crystal structure from synchrotron powder data of the inclusion complex of beta-cyclodextrin with atenolol

Inclusion complexes of atenolol with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) in aqueous solution have been investigated with (1)H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of this inclusion complex was established to be equimolar (1:1) and its stability constant was determined by UV-vis spectroscopy. The crystal structure of the beta-CD-atenolol (1:1) inclusion compound has been solved from synchrotron powder diffraction data using direct-space search techniques. The crystal structure model and (1)H NMR data are in good agreement and, with support of Hyperchem MM+ molecular dynamics results, suggest which protons are likely to be involved in the inclusion process that leads to the supramolecular architecture of this guest-host complex.     

Spectroscopic study of orange G-beta-cyclodextrin complex and its analytical application

The mechanism of the inclusion of orange G and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) has been studied by using both spectrophotometry and infrared spectroscopy. Effects of the pH, concentrations of beta-CD, and ionic strength on the inclusion complex of beta-CD and orange G were examined. The result showed that orange G reacts with beta-CD to form a 1:1 host-guest complex with an apparent formation constant of 3.03 x 10(3)mol(-1)l. The thermodynamic parameters of inclusion complex, DeltaG(0), DeltaH(0), and DeltaS(0) were obtained. Based on the enhancement of the absorbance of orange G produced through complex formation, a ratiometric method spectrophotometrically for the determination of orange G in bulk aqueous solution in the presence of beta-CD was developed, which overcome the effect of condition change on the determination of orange G. The linear relationship between the absorbance and orange G concentration was obtained in the range of 1.0 x 10(-5) to 4.0 x 10(-5)mol l(-1), with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The detection limit was 3.6 x 10(-6)mol l(-1). The principal advantage of the proposed method is high accuracy because ratiometry was used in measurement.     

Fluorometric study of the inclusion interaction of beta-cyclodextrin derivatives with tetraphenylporphyrin and its analytical application

The effects of native beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and four kinds of alkylated beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CDs), i.e. heptakis (2,6-di-O-isobutyl-beta-cyclodextrin) (I), heptakis (2,6-di-O-octyl-beta-cyclodextrin) (II), heptakis (2,6-di-O-dodecyl-beta-cyclodextrin) (III), and heptakis (2,6-di-O-hexadecyl-beta-cyclodextrin) (IV), on the fluorescence behaviors of tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) are investigated. An obvious fluorescence enhancement is observed from TPP by using alkylated derivatives compared to that obtained in beta-CD aqueous or in water. A 114-N fluorescence emission intensity enhancement is found for the complex with 2,6-di-O-octyl-beta-cyclodextrin relative to the free analyte. The exact stoichiometric ratios and the formation constants of the inclusion complexes have been examined by application of curve fitting method. The linear calibration plots between fluorescence intensity and TPP concentration are determined in the 1.14 x 10(-8)-5.06 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) range.

Inclusion complexation of novocaine by beta-cyclodextrin in aqueous solutions

The formation of inclusion complexes between beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and the local anesthetic 2-(diethylamino)ethyl-p-amino-benzoate (novocaine) in aqueous solutions under different acidity conditions, using steady-state fluorescence or UV-vis spectroscopies, electrical conductivity, or the kinetic study of both the nitrosation reaction of the primary amine group in a mild acid medium and the hydrolysis of the ester function under an alkaline medium, has been studied. The inclusion complex formation between neutral or protonated novocaine and beta-CD of 1:1 stoichiometry was observed; however, the magnitude of the binding constants depends on the nature of both the guest and the host, and the higher-affinity guest-host was found under conditions when both the novocaine and the beta-CD were neutral molecules.     

Electrochemical carboxylation of β-cyclodextrin/1-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-1-chloroethane inclusion complex on a glassy-carbon cathode in anhydrous dimethylformamide

Inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin with 1-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-1-chloroethane in the “guest-host” molar ratio of 1: 2 are synthesized, isolated, and characterized. It is shown that preparative electrocarboxylation of β-cyclodextrin/1-(3-phenoxyphenyl)-1-chloroethane inclusion complex on a glassy-carbon cathode in dimethylformamide leads to the formation of S-form of 2-(3-phenoxyphenyl)propionic acid (S-Phenoprofen) with an optical yield of ～20%. In addition to the acid, a dimer of electrochemically generated intermediates forms.

Resonance Rayleigh scattering technology as a new method for the determination of the inclusion constant of beta-cyclodextrin

The interaction of procaine hydrochloride and beta-cyclodextrin in aqueous solution was studied using resonance Rayleigh scattering technology. The molar ratio of the inclusion complex was 1:1 established by spectrophotometry. The resonance Rayleigh scattering technology was first applied in the determination of the beta-cyclodextrin inclusion constant. The inclusion constant of procaine hydrochloride beta-cyclodextrin complex Kf is 1.23 x 10(2) and 1.27 x 10(2) l mol(-1) for method I and 1.15 x 10(2) and 1.21 x 10(2) l mol(-1) for method II. These determination results were in correspondence with the results of the spectrophotometric and fluorescence methods. Therefore, the resonance Rayleigh scattering method can be used as a new technology for the determination of the inclusion constant.     

Evaluation of Inclusion Selectivity of (2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropyl β-cyclodextrin-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone) Copolymers Coated Silica Stationary Phase by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

A comparative study of the retention behaviour of disubstituted benzene derivatives on (2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropyl -cyclodextrin-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone) copolymers physically adsorbed onto porous silca gel was achieved. Under reversed-phase mode, the separation process is based on an inclusion complex formation, and the inclusion selectivity is strongly influenced by hydrogen bonds and/or steric effects. The influence of cyclodextrin derivatives used as mobile phase additives for the conventional reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was also examined with the aim to confirm the formation of inclusion complexes between CD derivatives and test molecules. Under normal-phase mode, it was found that the retention and separation processes are mainly controlled by hydrophilic interactions between the polar substituents of the solute and the hydroxyl groups of the cyclodextrin units. Finally, the enantiomer separation ability was briefly demonstrated.     

Simulations of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene with multiple occupancies of small guest molecules

Classical molecular dynamics simulations were used to study low-density beta(0)-phase p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene inclusion compounds with multiple calix occupancies of xenon, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen guest molecules with guest-host ratios ranging from 1:4 to 4:1. Custom parameterized force fields were used for the guests and the AMBER force field for the calixarene units was validated in our previous work (Chem. Eur. J. 2006, 12, 5231). The inclusion energy and unit cell volume of the calixarene inclusion compound were determined for various guest occupancies and for occupancies greater than 1:1, strong guest-guest interaction effects are observed. The structure and energetics of the 2:1 CO(2)/beta(0)-phase inclusion compound were compared to those of the low-temperature 2:1 CO(2)/calixarene in which the guest molecules occupy both cage and interstitial sites.     

Inclusion complexes of dihydroartemisinin with cyclodextrin and its derivatives: characterization,solubilization and inclusion mode

The characterization, inclusion complexation behavior and binding ability of the inclusion complexes of dihydroartemisinin with β-cyclodextrin and its derivatives, sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD), mono[6-(2-aminoethylamino)-6-deoxy]-β-cyclodextrin (en-β-CD) and mono{6-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]-6-deoxy}-β-cyclodextrin (dien-β-CD), were studied using phenolphthalein as a spectral probe. Spectral titration was performed in aqueous buffer solution (pH ca. 10.5) at 25 °C to determine the binding constants. The inclusion complexation behaviors were investigated in both solution and solid state by means of NMR, TG, XRD. The results showed that the water solubility and thermal stability of dihydroartemisinin were significantly increased in the inclusion complex with cyclodextrins (CDs). According to ¹H NMR and 2D NMR spectroscopy (ROESY), the A, B rings of dihydroartemisinin can be included into the cavity of CDs. The enhanced binding ability of CDs towards dihydroartemisinin was discussed from the viewpoint of the size/shape-fit concept and multiple recognition mechanism between host and guest.     

Inclusion complexes of phosphorylated daidzein derivatives with β-cyclodextrin: Preparation and inclusion behavior study

In the present work the feasibility of β-cyclodextrin in complexation was explored, as a tool for improving the solubility and biological ability of daidzein derivatives. A series of phosphorylated daidzein derivatives featuring different chain lengths were synthesized through a modified Atherton-Todd reaction and their inclusion complexes with βCD were prepared by coprecipitation method. The inclusion complexation behavior was studied by fluorescence, UV, FT-IR, MS and (1)H NMR. The results showed that only phosphorylated daidzein derivative carrying small substituent group ((C(2)H(5)O)(2)PO) entered the cavity of βCD and formed 1:1 inclusion complex. The formation constant was 175(mol/L)(-1).     

Binding affinity properties of dendritic glycosides based on a beta-cyclodextrin core toward guest molecules and concanavalin A.

The inclusion behavior and concanavalin A binding properties of hepta-antennated and newly synthesized tetradeca-antennated C-6-branched mannopyranosyl and glucopyrannosyl cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin) derivatives have been evaluated by isothermal titration microcalorimetry and enzyme-linked lectin assay (ELLA), respectively. The synthesis of three first-order dendrimers based on a beta-cyclodextrin core containing 14 1-thio-beta-D-glucose, 1-thio-beta-mannose, and 1-thio-beta-rhamnose residues was performed following a convergent approach and involving (1) preparation of a thiolated bis-branched glycoside building block and (2) attachment of the building block onto heptakis(6-deoxy-6-iodo)-beta-cyclodextrin. Calorimetric titrations performed at 25 degrees C in buffered aqueous solution (pH 7.4) gave the affinity constants and the thermodynamic parameters for the inclusion complex formation of these beta-cyclodextrin derivatives with guests sodium 8-anilino-1-naphthalensulfonate (ANS) and 2-naphthalenesulfonate. The host capability of the persubstituted beta-cyclodextrins decreased with respect to the native beta-CD when sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate was used as a guest and improved when ANS was used as a guest molecule. Heptavalent mannoclusters based on beta-CD cores enhance the lectin binding affinity due to the cluster effect; however, the increase of the valency from 7 to 14 ligands did not contribute to the improvement of the concanavalin A binding affinity. In addition, the synthesized hyperbranched mannoCDs lost completely the capability as a host molecules.     

Complexation of adamantyl compounds by beta-cyclodextrin and monoaminoderivatives

Since the beta-cyclodextrin cavity is not a smooth cone but has constrictions in the neighborhoods of the H3 and H5 atoms, the hypothesis that bulky hydrophobic guests can form two isomeric inclusion complexes (one of them, c(p), is formed by the entrance of the guest by the primary side of the cavity, and the other one, c(s), results from the entrance by the secondary side) is checked. Thus, the inclusion processes of two 1-substituted adamantyl derivatives (rimantidine and adamantylmethanol) with beta-cyclodextrin and its two monoamino derivatives at positions 6 (6-NH2beta-CD) and 3 (3-NH2beta-CD) were studied. From rotating-frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments, it was deduced that both guests form c(s) complexes with beta-CD and 6-NH2beta-CD but c(p) complexes with 3-NH2beta-CD. In all cases, the hydrophilic group attached to the adamantyl residue protrudes toward the bulk solvent outside the cyclodextrin cavity. The thermodynamic parameters (free energy, equilibrium constant, enthalpy, and entropy) associated with the inclusion phenomena were measured by isothermal titration calorimetry experiments. From these results, the difference in the free energy for the formation of the two complexes, c(s) and c(p), for the same host/guest system has been estimated as being 11.5 +/- 0.8 kJ mol(-1). This large difference explains why under normal experimental conditions only one of the two complexes (c(s)) is detected. It is also concluded that a hyperboloid of revolution can be a better schematic picture to represent the actual geometry of the cyclodextrin cavities than the usual smooth cone or trapezium.     

Study on inclusion interaction of piroxicam with beta-cyclodextrin derivatives

The inclusion behavior of piroxicam (PX) with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD), and carboxymethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CM-beta-CD) was investigated by using steady-state fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The various factors affecting the inclusion process were examined in detail. The remarkable fluorescence emission enhancement upon addition of CDs suggested that cyclodextrins (CDs) were most suitable for inclusion of the uncharged species of PX. The stoichiometry of the PX-CDs inclusion complexes was 1:1, except for beta-CD where a 1:2 inclusion complex was formed. The formation constants showed the strongest inclusion capacity of beta-CD. NMR showed the inclusion mode of PX with CDs.     

2]Catenanes and inclusion complexes derived from self-assembled rectangular Pd(II) and Pt(II) metallocycles

New inclusion complexes and [2]catenanes were self-assembled from a fluorescent diazapyrenium based ligand, a Pd(II) or Pt(II) complex, and cyclic or acyclic electron rich aromatic guests in aqueous and organic media. The molecular rectangles display a π-deficient cavity suitable to incorporate π-donor aromatic systems. The inclusion complexes between the metallocycles and phenylenic () and naphthalenic () derivatives were studied by NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The crystal structure of () ? ·6PF(6) confirmed the insertion of the guest into the cavity of the metallocycle. Following the same self-assembly strategy, the use of polyethers , as π-donors resulted in the self-assembly of the [2]catenanes (,)·6PF(6). Single-crystal X-ray analysis of ()·6PF(6) revealed the [2]catenane structure being stabilized by π-stacking and [C-HO] interactions.
