Preparation and property screening of the solid inclusion complex of norfloxacin with p-sulfonated calix[4]arene

The complexation of norfloxacin (NFLX) by p-sulfonated calix[4]arene (SC4A) in aqueous solution has been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and 1H NMR spectroscopy. A 1:1 stoichiometry and a 8086 L mol(-1) stability constant of the NFLX-SC4A complex was obtained by spectrofluorometric titrations. The equimolar solid state inclusion complex of NFLX-SC4A was prepared by the co-precipitation method and then characterized by various techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared analysis (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results of these chemical property screenings confirmed that NFLX and SC4A can form a stable host-guest complex in the solid state, and SC4A appears to function as a complexing and solubilizing agent for NFLX.     

Study on the inclusion behavior of p-sulphonatocalix[4]arene with 9-amino-acridine by spectrofluorometric titrations

Spectrofluorometric titrations have been performed to investigate the inclusion behavior of p-sulphonatocalix[4]arene (SC4A) and 9-amino-acridine (AA) in citrate buffer solution (pH 5.92). It was found that the fluorescence intensity of AA quenched regularly upon the addition of SC4A. The proposed interaction mechanism between SC4A and AA indicates that AA partially goes into the cavity of SC4A with the help of strong electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding, which formed by the protonated N atom and the amino groups of AA bonding with sulphonyl groups of SC4A, respectively. The inclusion ratio was 1:1 and the inclusion constant was 1.84 x 10(5) L mol(-1) at 25.0 degrees C.     

Study of the fluorescence characteristics of norfloxacin in reversed micelles and application in analysis

The fluorescence characteristics of norfloxacin (NFLX) were studied in reversed micelles which formed with sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)-water-octane. The influences of the environmental factors, such as the water content, AOT concentration and pH, on the fluorescence of NFLX were investigated. A novel spectrofluorimetric method for the direct determination of NFLX is proposed based on the enhancement effect of reversed micelles on the native fluorescence of NFLX, which showed a much lower detection limit (0.0032 microgram mL-1) and a wider linear range (0.015-3.8 micrograms mL-1) compared with aqueous solution.     

Study on the supramolecular system of TAPP with cyclodextrins by polarography

The interaction of cyclodextrins with meso- Tetrakis (4-N-trimethylaminobenzyl) porphyrin (TAPP) in 0.1 mol l(-1) phosphate buffer (pH 7.0, 20 degrees C) has been studied by polarography. The TAPP can form the 1:1 inclusion complex with Sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBE-beta-CD) and1:2 inclusion complexes with other four cyclodextrins. A new expression, which is used to calculate the inclusion constant for1:2 inclusion complex by polarography, has been educed and testified firstly in this paper. Furthermore, the inclusion abilities of different kinds of cyclodextrins are compared. The result shows the inclusion ability of anionic cyclodextrin SBE-beta-CD with cationic porphyrin TAPP is very strong. It suggests that the charge attraction between CDs and TAPP plays an important role in the inclusion procedure except for the hydrophobic effect. The inclusion formation of anionic cyclodextrins with drugs can increase released rate of drugs at high pH; therefore, the suparmolecular data for the controlled release of the drugs that owned the similar properties as hematoporphyrin have been offered by polarography in this paper.     

Capillary electrophoresis-chemiluminescence determination of norfloxacin and prulifloxacin

A capillary electrophoresis (CE)–chemiluminescence (CL) method for determining norfloxacin (NFLX) and prulifloxacin (PFLX) was developed based on the enhanced CL intensity of the cerium(IV)–sulfite–fluoroquinolone (FQ) reaction sensitized by terbium(III). The separation was conducted in buffer composed of 20 mM sodium citrate, 4 mM citric acid and 10 mM sodium sulfite at pH 6.1. The CL reagent solution consisted of 2 mM cerium(IV), 4 mM terbium(III) and 1.1 mM hydrochloric acid. NFLX and PFLX were baseline separated within 11 min with detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.057 and 0.084 μg mL⁻¹, respectively. The maximum intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (R.S.D.s) of migration time of the analytes were less than 4.0% and 4.2%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to detect NFLX and PFLX in fortified urine sample and the results were comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)–UV method. Moreover, the high selectivity of the CL detection and the high-separation efficiency of CE render the method the potential of quick analyzing fluoroquinolones in real complex matrix.     

Inclusion complexes of Fe(III) tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin with cyclodextrins in aqueous solutions

In aqueous solutions, inclusion complexation of Fe(III) tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (FeTSPP) with alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD), beta-CD, gamma-CD, and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-CD (TM-beta-CD) has been examined by means of absorption and induced circular dichroism spectroscopy. FeTSPP has been found to form inclusion complexes with beta-CD, gamma-CD, and TM-beta-CD in pH 3.2 buffers. At pH 10.1, where FeTSPP self-associates to form an oxo-bridged dimer, FeTSPP also forms inclusion complexes with alpha-CD, beta-CD, gamma-CD, and TM-beta-CD. The stoichiometries of the CD-FeTSPP inclusion complexes are 1:1, except for TM-beta-CD in pH 10.1 buffers where its 1:1 inclusion complex associates with TM-beta-CD to form a 2:1 inclusion complex at high TM-beta-CD concentrations. Equilibrium constants of FeTSPP for the formation of the 1:1 inclusion complexes have been evaluated for beta-CD, gamma-CD, and TM-beta-CD. Induced circular dichroism spectra of FeTSPP in alpha-CD and beta-CD solutions exhibit a signal pattern (a negative sign) that is different from those in acidic and basic solutions containing gamma-CD and that in basic solution containing TM-beta-CD, suggesting different inclusion modes towards FeTSPP.     

Study of the complexation of fisetin with cyclodextrins

In this work, the interaction between fisetin (3,3',4',7-tetrahydroxyflavone) (Fis) and cyclodextrins (CDs) (alpha and beta) was studied through UV-vis absorption, steady-state fluorescence, induced circular dichroism, and (1)H NMR experiments with dependence on temperature and pH. Some experimental data were compared with quantum-mechanics studies based on the SAM1 (AMPAC) semiempirical model, as well as with the B3LYP and MPW1PW91 functional models from density functional theory using the 6-311G and 3-21G basis sets. The spectroscopic measurements show that Fis does not form stable complexes with alpha-CD. On the other hand, at pH 4.0 and 6.5, the complex Fis-beta-CD is formed in a Fis:beta-CD 1:1 stoichiometry and an equilibrium constant (K) of 900 +/- 100 M(-1). In basic medium (pH 11.5), K decreases to 240 +/- 90 M(-1) because Fis deprotonation leads to its better solubilization in water. Molecular modeling points out that Fis is not totally inserted into the inner cavity of beta-CD. The formation of the inclusion complex renders an environment that enhances intramolecular excited state proton transfer. The inclusion complex is formed preferentially via entry of the Fis phenyl group into beta-CD.     

Simultaneous determination of norfloxacin and lomefloxacin in milk by first derivative synchronous fluorescence spectrometry using Al (III) as an enhancer

A novel method for the simultaneous determination of norfloxacin (NFLX) and lomefloxacin (LFLX) in milk samples was developed by using first derivative synchronous fluorimetry. The synchronous fluorescence (Δλ=160 nm) spectra and first derivative synchronous fluorescence spectra of NFLX, LFLX and their mixture were studied. The zero-crossing method was utilized to measure the first derivative value of the derivative spectrum. The zero-crossing points were located at 275.0 nm for NFLX and at 283.8 nm for LFLX, in first derivative synchronous fluorescence spectra. Therefore, 283.8 nm and 275.0 nm were selected for the determination of NFLX and LFLX. The first derivative values varied linearly with the concentrations in the range of 1.68×10(-8)-5.64×10(-6) mol L(-1) for NFLX and 1.89×10(-8)-6.19×10(-6) mol L(-1) for LFLX. The detection limits were 5.03×10(-9) mol L(-1) for NFLX and 7.58×10(-9) mol L(-1) for LFLX. The proposed method is reliable, selective and sensitive, and has been used successfully in the simultaneous determination of NFLX and LFLX in milk samples, whose results were in good agreement with those obtained by HPLC.     

Interactions of tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin with cyclodextrins and disodium phthalate in aqueous solution

In pH 7.3 buffers, the interactions of a cationic porphyrin, tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP), with cyclodextrins (CDs) and disodium phthalate (DSP) have been examined by means of absorption, fluorescence, and induced circular dichroism spectroscopy. α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD form a 1:1 inclusion complex with a TMPyP monomer, which dimerizes in solution without CD. TMPyP also forms a 1:1 organic cation–organic anion complex with DSP. The 1:1 TMPyP–DSP complex forms a ternary CD–TMPyP–DSP inclusion complex with α-, β-, and γ-CD, in which a DSP molecule is not incorporated into the CD cavity. From the fluorescence intensity change, the␣equilibrium constants have been evaluated for the formation of the inclusion complexes and the organic cation–anion complexes.     

Study on inclusion behaviour of forsythiaside A with β-cyclodextrin

Inclusion behaviour of forsythiaside A with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was investigated by fluorescence spectrum, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and molecular modelling. A ratio of 1:1 stoichiometry has been proposed for the inclusion complex of forsythiaside A with β-CD in aqueous media according to the continuous variation Job’s method based on the fluorescence spectroscopy data. The stability constant (K) of the inclusion complex was 669 M^?1. The pH, ionic strength and temperature of solution showed great effect on the formation of inclusion complex. The spatial configuration of complex demonstrated that the B ring of forsythiaside A might be embedded inside the lipophilic cavity of β-CD and the A ring of the forsythiaside A might be exposed outside the cavity of β-CD according to NMR spectra and molecular modelling.     

Evaluation of the interaction between sitagliptin and cyclodextrin derivatives by capillary electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

An aqueous capillary electrophoretic method was developed for chiral analysis of the novel anti-diabetic drug, sitagliptin. The acid-base profiling of the analyte was carried out using both capillary electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance pH titrations. The apparent complex stability and chiral separation properties were investigated with 30 different cyclodextrins under acidic conditions. The effect of concentration and pH of the BGE, temperature of the capillary, and the type and concentration of the chiral selector on the enantiomer resolution were thoroughly investigated. The effects of dual cyclodextrin systems on separation were also extensively studied. Complete separation of racemic sitagliptin with good resolution (R(S)=2.24) was achieved within a short time (15 min) with optimized parameters (10°C, pH=4.4, 40 mM phosphate buffer) of a sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (averaged degree of substitution ~4) and native β-cyclodextrin dual system. The averaged stoichiometry of the inclusion complex was determined using the Job plot method with both (1)H and (19)F NMR experiments and resulted in a 1:1 complex. The structure of the inclusion complex was elucidated using 2-D ROESY NMR experiments.     

Molecular recognition thermodynamics and structural elucidation of interactions between steroids and bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin)s

A series of bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin(CD))s (2-7) were synthesized, i.e., bridged bis(beta-CD)s 2 and 3 bearing binaphthyl or biquinoline tethers and bridged bis(beta-CD)s 4-7 possessing dithiobis(benzoyl) tether, and their complex stability constants (KS), enthalpy (DeltaH degrees), and entropy changes (DeltaS degrees) for the 1:2 inclusion complexation with representative steroids, deoxycholate, cholate, glycocholate, and taurocholate, have been determined in an aqueous phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.20 at 298.15 K by means of titration microcalorimetry. The original conformations of bridged bis(beta-cyclodextrin)s were investigated by circular dichroism and 1H ROESY spectroscopy. Structures of the inclusion complexes between steroids and bridged bis(beta-CD)s in solution were elucidated by 2D NMR experiments, indicating that anionic groups of two steroid molecules penetrate, respectively, into the two hydrophobic CD cavities in one 6,6'-bridged bis(beta-CD) molecule from the secondary rim to give a 1:2 binding mode upon inclusion complexation. The results obtained from titration microcalorimetry and 2D NMR experiments jointly demonstrate that bridged bis(beta-CD)s 2, 3 and 5-7 tethered by protonated amino group possessing different substituted groups can enhance not only the molecular binding ability toward steroids by electrostatic interaction but also molecular selectivity. Thermodynamically, the resulting 1:2 bis(beta-CD)-steroid complexes are formed by an enthalpy-driven process, accompanied by smaller entropy loss. The increased complex stability mainly results from enthalpy gain, accompanied by large conformational change and extensive desolvation effects for the 1:2 inclusion complexation between bis(beta-CD)s and steroids.     

Photophysical behaviours of some 2-styrylindolium dyes in aqueous solutions and in the presence of cyclodextrins

Host–guest inclusion type association between native β-cyclodextrin and randomly substituted methyl-β-CD and two 2-styrylindolium cationic dyes, e.g. 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-(4-diethylaminostyryl)-3H-indolium iodide (D1) and 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-[4-(N-2-cyanoethyl,N-methyl)-aminostyryl]-3H-indolium iodide (D2), are reported. The described indolium derivatives belong to the rarely investigated class of unsymmetrical polymethines. The complex formation was studied in aqueous buffer solutions with two pH values (7.2 and 3) by means of absorption and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. The association equilibrium constant (K), the molar absorptivity and the stoichiometry of the complexes were evaluated using the modified Benesi-Hildebrand approach. The complex stability was affected by the pH of the solution and by the type of CD. The results obtained indicate that D1 forms 1:1 complexes with both β-CD and Me-O-β-CD, whereas D2 does not form stable complexes with Me-O-β-CD and in acidic medium. The fluorescent intensity of D1 in the presence of CDs increases over four times relative to the intensity of the pure dye solutions, presumably via inclusion of the dye into the cyclodextrin cavity due to rigidity of the structure.     

Inclusion complexation of Itraconazole with β-and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrins in aqueous solutions

The inclusion behavior of Itraconazole (Itra) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was investigated by using phase solubility and molecular mechanics techniques. The effects of pH and temperature on complex stabilit were also explored. The aqueous solubility of Itra was significantly enhanced as CD concentration increased. Itra tends to form 1: 3 complexes with β-and HP-β-CD at pH ≥ 4 and 1: 2 at pH 2. Thermodynamic parameters for Itra/HP-β-CD show that the 1: 1 complex is driven by enthalpy but retarded by entropy changes. In contrast, the formation of 1: 2 and 1: 3 complexes is largely favored by entropy due to higher desolvation induced by total enclosure of Itra with two (or three) favorably interacting CD molecules. The inclusion mode of Itra/β-CD complexes was proved by molecular mechanics technique, which provided a powerful means for understanding inclusion interactions and processes.

Spectral characteristics of 2-amino-3-benzyloxy pyridine: Effects of solvents,pH, and β-cyclodextrin

Spectral characteristics of 2-amino-3-benzyloxypyridine (2ABP) has been studied in solvents of different polarity, pH, and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and compared with 2-amino pyridine (2AP). The inclusion complex of both amino pyridine (AP) molecules with β-CD are analysed by UV-visible, fluorimetry, FTIR, ¹H NMR, SEM and AM1 methods. The solvent studies shows no significant shift observed in absorption maxima between both AP molecules, but in the excited state a slight red shift is noticed in 2ABP than in 2AP which indicates that the addition of benzyloxy group in 2AP does not effectively increase the resonance interaction in 2ABP. The regular red shift observed in acidic pH solutions suggests intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) interaction in both molecules. β-CD studies shows that in pH ∼7, 2ABP forms 1: 2 inclusion complex from 1: 1 inclusion complex and 1: 1 inclusion complex is formed in pH ∼ 1. In pH ∼ 7, a red shift observed in 2ABP with lower β-CD concentration suggests aromatic ring encapsulated in the β-CD cavity and blue shift noticed at higher β-CD concentrations indicates pyridine ring encapsulated in the β-CD cavity.     

Study on the inclusion complexes of cryptotanshinone with beta-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin

The inclusion complexes of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and HP-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) with a kind of tanshinone, cryptotanshinone (CTan) were investigated by using spectrophotometry. Stable inclusion complexes were established in solution and in solid state and were characterized by UV, IR and 1H NMR spectra, respectively. The optimum pH for inclusion is about 7.5. Stoichiometry of the inclusion complex is 1:1. The stabilities of beta-CD and HP-beta-CD to CTan were in the order: beta-CD相似文献   

Determination of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in rat brain microdialysis samples following intraperitoneal fluoxetine administration

Fluoxetine (FLX) and the N-desmethyl metabolite, norfluoxetine (NFLX) in rat brain microdialysis samples were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection using pre-column derivatization with 4-fluoro-7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD-F). In vitro experiment showed that the relative recovery of FLX across microdialysis membrane was enhanced by adding β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or β-CD polymer to microdialysis perfusion fluid. The perfusion fluid containing β-CD polymer, which has polymeric glyceryl linkers attached to the hydroxyl group, gave the better recovery with satisfactory precisions. Using 1% β-CD polymer in Ringer’s solution as the perfusate, in vivo rat brain microdialysis experiment on intraperitoneal administration of FLX (10 mg/kg) to rats was carried out. The fluorescence peaks of FLX and NFLX appeared later than 30 min after the administration of FLX, and then, gradually increased with time. Two hours later, FLX reached a plateau level, but NFLX slowly increased, and at 24-48 h, NFLX levels were higher than FLX levels. These data suggest that long distributions of FLX and the potent metabolite, NFLX, in brain contributed to the long-term drug actions in vivo.     

Comparative Study on Co-Ground Products of Rofecoxib with β-Cyclodextrin and Its Sulfobutyl Ether-7 Derivative in Solution and in the Solid State

The inclusion behavior of sulfobutyl ether-7 derivative ofβ-cyclodextrin (SBE7βCD), in solution and solidstate was compared with that of natural β-cyclodextrin(βCD) toward a poorly water-soluble anti-inflammatoryagent, rofecoxib (ROFX), chemically 4[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-2 (5H)-furazone. Drug-cyclodextrin solidsystems were prepared by cogrinding in a ball mill. A phasesolubility method was used to evaluate the stoichiometries andstability constants of ROFX-βCD (1 : 1 and 62 M^-1)and ROFX-SBE7βCD (1 : 1 and 132 M^-1) complexes.The formation of inclusion complexes with βCD andSBE7βCD in the solid state were confirmed by infraredspectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry,scanning electron microscopy and in the liquid state by phasesolubility analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy andcircular dichroism studies. Dissolution studies using the USP paddlemethod were carried out in phosphate buffer pH 7.2 at 37 °Cfor both βCD and SBE7βCD complexes of rofecoxib.Solubility enhancement was much greater for the rofecoxib-SBE7βCDcomplex compared to drug-βCD complex. The stability constantobtained for the SBE7βCD inclusion complex of rofecoxib wasthe highest. Finally, dissolution profiles obtained suggest thatSBE7βCD is more effective than β-cyclodextrin inimproving the pharmaceutical properties of rofecoxib.
