Alkyl capped carbonates ofβ-cyclodextrin

The synthesis is described of alkyl capped carbonates of-cyclodextrin, obtained from diols activated with carbonyldiimidazole. The reaction preferentially gave monocapped derivatives which were characterized by HPLC, TLC, FT-IR and¹³C-NMR. These compounds are stable at pH <7, and methyl orange was found to form stronger inclusion compounds with capped-cyclodextrin than with the parent-cyclodextrin. Paramagnetic Gd(III) complexes were also studied, but they were found to be included into capped-cyclodextrin as well as into-cyclodextrin.Part of this work was presented at the 7th International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, 1994, Tokyo, April 25–28, Book of Abstract, page 54.     

Enantiomer separations with chromatographic supports based on β-cyclodextrin polymers immobilized on porous silica. Role of the polymer structure in separating ability

Summary Two -cyclodextrin (-CD)-containing polymers have been prepared either by condensation of -CD molecules with a bifunctional reagent or by grafting a -CD derivative on to a linear polymer (polyvinylimidazole). HPLC stationary phases were obtained by adsorption of the -CD polymers on to silica. The ability of these chromatographic supports to resolve racemic mixtures of organic compounds such as amino acid derivatives, phenylhydantoins, barbiturates, and hydroxycoumarin derivatives has been investigated. Results were found to depend on the chemical structure of the -CD polymers

Control of purity and crystallinity of MVO4 compounds (M=Al,Cr, Fe,In, Y,Nd) by DTA

Two aqueous methods were followed for the synthesis of MVO₄ (M=trivalent element). The first, with vanadium pentoxide and M nitrate yielded crystalline InVO₄ III and amorphous FeVO₄. The second method, using ammonium metavanadate and M nitrate, led to amorphous compounds with M=In, Fe, Cr or Al, and semi-amorphous compounds with M=Nd or Y. The crystallinity and purity of these products were examined by DTA.Starting with amorphous compounds, two irreversible effects appeared; the first, at about 100°, was endothermic and corresponded to a considerable loss of water; the second was exothermic and corresponded to the crystallization of the compounds in the temperature range from 250 to 550°. Only InVO₄ presented two more irreversible exothermic peaks, corresponding to allotropic transformations, as proved by the X-ray diagrams.A reversible effect then appeared, showing an invariant equilibrium corresponding to a peritectic process for InVO₄ III, FeVO₄, CrVO₄ and AlVO₄ at 1134, 870 and 765°, respectively; these temperatures agreed with the known M₂O₃-V₂O₅ phase diagrams.The DTA curves of the semi-amorphous Nd and Y compounds showed only a loss of water at about 100°; crystallization then occurred gradually during heating; X-ray analysis confirmed these results.

Zusammenfassung MVO₄ (M=dreiwertiges Element) wurde nach zwei Methoden in wässrigem Medium dargestellt. Die erste, bei der von Vanadinpentoxid und dem Nitrat von M ausgegangen wird, ergibt kristallines InVO₄ III und amorphes FeVO₄. Die zweite, von Ammoniummetavanadat und dem Nitrat von M ausgehende Methode ergibt amorphe Produkte für M=In, Fe, Cr oder Al und halbamorphe für M=Nd oder Y. Kristallinität und Reinheit dieser Produkte wurden mittels DTA untersucht. Bei den amorphen Verbindungen treten zwei irreversible Effekte in Erscheinung, nämlich bei etwa 100° ein durch Abgabe einer beträchtlichen Wassermenge bedingter endothermer Effekt und ein exothermer im Temperaturbereich von 250–550°, der der Kristallisation der Verbindungen zuzuschreiben ist. Nur InVO₄ zeigt zwei weitere irreversible exotherme Effekte, die auf allotropische Umwandlungen zurückzuführen sind, wie durch röntgendiffraktometrie gezeigt werden konnte. Danach tritt ein reversibler Effekt ein, der ein invariantes Gleichgewicht eines peritektischen Prozesses für InVO₄ III, FeVO₄, CrVO₄ und AlVO₄ bei 1134, 870, 880 bzw. 765° anzeigt. Diese Temperaturen stimmen mit den bekannten Phasendiagrammen von M₂O₃-V₂O₅ überein. Die DTA-Kurven der halbamorphen Nd- und Y-Verbindung lassen nur den Wasserverlust bei 100° erkennen, die Kristallisation erfolgt dann nach und nach während des Aufheizvorganges, wie dusch Röntgenanalyse gezeigt werden konnte.

Electrochemical Hydrogenation of Acetophenone and Methyl-4-isobutylacetophenone in a Two-phase Water–Organic System Containing β-Cyclodextrin

The possibility of the formation of inclusion complexes based on methyl-4-isobutylphenyl ketone, -cyclodextrin (-CD), and o-hydroxy propylated -cyclodextrin in an aqueous phosphate buffer is demonstrated by methods of NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Preparative electroreduction of acetophenone and methyl-4-isobutylphenyl ketone is performed on a lead electrode in aqueous phosphate and acetate buffers in the absence and presence of -CD and the composition of products of electrochemical reactions is ascertained. It is shown that the products of reduction of ketones are corresponding alcohols and pinacones. The possibility of asymmetric electrochemical hydrogenation of ketones in the presence of -CD, which yields relevant chiral alcohols, is shown.     

Complex formation of unsaturated cyclodextrin solutions with various polymers

By using methyl orange as a competitive complexant, it was shown that solutions of poly(ethylene glycol), poly(propylene glycol) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) equivalent to a concentration of 1.67 mM monomer are able to form soluble inclusion complexes with 0.20 mM solutions of -, - and -cyclodextrins. The complex formation is independent of polymer chain length. Poly(ethylene glycol) solutions complexed, on average with 40%, 45% and 75% of -, -, and -cyclodextrin, respectively. A poly(propylene glycol) solution complexed 55% -cyclodextrin, 80% -cyclodextrin and 90% -cyclodextrin. Poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) solutions complexed on average with 90% of -, -, and -cyclodextrin.     

Use of Unmodified and Aminated β-Cyclodextrins for the Separation of Enantiomers of Amino Acid Derivatives by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

The separation of enantiomers of amino acid derivatives with modifiers of different structures on -cyclodextrin and aminated -cyclodextrin by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was studied. The dependence of the capacity factors of adsorbates on the concentration of the organic component in the mobile phase was examined. It was found that the retention of amino acid derivatives on unmodified -cyclodextrin and aminated -cyclodextrin increases with the hydrophobicity of the modifying agent of amino acid. In addition, for aminated -cyclodextrin, electrostatic interactions of ionized adsorbates and protonated surface amino groups substantially contribute to the retention. It was demonstrated that the recognition ability of aminated -cyclodextrin is affected by the structure of amino acid and its degree of dissociation.     

From Capped to Three-Dimensional Cyclodextrins: the First Example of a New Class of Receptors by Trehalose Capping of a β-Cyclodextrin

A new capped derivative of cyclomaltoheptaose (CDTHCM)was synthesized by the reaction of6,6-dideoxy-6,6-di(S-cysteamine)-,-trehalose with6A,6D-dideoxy-6A,6D-diiodo-cyclomaltoheptaose. TheCDTHCM obtained was characterized, together with itsbehaviour towards protonation. The CDTHCM/ACS(anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid sodium salt) system wasinvestigated by ¹H NMR spectroscopy and by i.c.d.(induced circular dichroism) at two different pHs. Thedeep inclusion of ACS within the CDTHCM cavity, withan association constant about six times largercompared to the -CD/ACS system was found at pH 6.     

Comparative study on inclusion complexations of antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen with β-cyclodextrin and methylated β-cyclodextrins

Abstruct Some physicochemical properties of methylated -cyclodextrins, i.e., heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CyD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TM--CyD) were compared with those of natural -cyclodextrin (-CyD). Inclusion behaviors of -CyD and methylated -CyDs in water and in solid state were studied by solubility analysis, spectroscopies (UV, CD,¹³C-NMR and IR), X-ray diffractometry and thermal analysis, using an antiinflammatory drug flurbiprofen (FP) as a guest molecule. The spectral data suggest that the inclusion mode of FP-TM--CyD is somewhat different from those of FP--CyD and FP-DM--CyD. The solid complexes of FP with - and methylated -CyDs were obtained in molar ratio of 11, and their dissolution behavior and release from suppository base were examined. The data are presented suggesting that DM--CyD is particularly useful for improving the pharmaceutical properties of FP in various dosage forms.     

Quantum chemical study of the physical characteristics of the hydroxy groups of zeolites, III

The CNDO/2 method was applied to calculate the electronic structure of HY zeolite using cluster models Si₃AlO₁₂H ₈ ^– and Si₃AlO₁₂H₉. It has been shown that the probability of occurrence of H on a particular type of oxygen as well as the other physical characteristics of zeolite depend on both the type of oxygen and the position of the Al atom.

The Effect of Cyclodextrins on the Photochemical Stability of 7-Amino-4-methylcoumarin in Aqueous Solution

The effect of -, - and -cyclodextrin onthe photochemical stability of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (C120)was studied. Using spectroscopic techniques (UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence, fluorescence anisotropy and circular dichroism) combined with HPLC/MS and MS analysis it was demonstrated that addition of -cyclodextrin to the aqueoussolution of C120 markedly inhibits the photodegradation of that dye. This results from theformation of an inclusion complex between C120 and -cyclodextrin.     

Interactions of Nabumetone with Cyclodextrins in Solution and in the Solid State

The interactions of nabumetone (NAB) with -cyclodextrin (-CD) and-cyclodextrin (-CD) were studied in aqueous solution by meansof phase-solubility analysis. Solid dispersions of NAB with -cyclodextrin(-CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), methyl- (M-CD),hydroxypropyl-cyclodextrin (HP-CD) were prepared by coevaporationand kneading and also by coprecipitation in the case of -CD. X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study the possibility of complexation of the drug with the different cyclodextrins. Solid dispersions of nabumetone with -CD showed a remarkable improvement in the dissolution rate of nabumetone.     

Molecular Recognition Studies on Supramolecular Systems. Part 38. Inclusion Complexation of Organic Dyes by Organoselenium Bridged Bis(β-cyclodextrin)s with a Short Linker

In order to further explore the inclusion complexation behavior with -cyclodextrin dimers, the binding constants (K_S) of three organoselenium bridged bis(-cyclodextrin)s (2ndash;4) tethered with a short linker were determined with some representative dye molecules in aqueous phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.20) at 25 °C by fluorescence and UV-vis spectrometry. As compared with the parent -cyclodextrin (1), the bridged bis(-cyclodextrin)s (2ndash;4) can not only significantly enhance the original binding affinity of the parent -cyclodextrin by the cooperative binding of one guest molecule in the closely located two -cyclodextrin cavities but also remarkably extend its molecular recognition abilities towards the different size/shape or substituent of model substrates. The higher binding ability and selectivity of dye molecules by bridged bis(-cyclodextrin)s (2ndash;4) are discussed from the viewpointof the size/shape-fit concept and multiple recognition mechanism.     

Solubility Study of Nimodipine Inclusion Complexation with α- and β-Cyclodextrin and some Substituted Cyclodextrins

The solubility of nimodipine was measured in aqueous solutions of the following cyclodextrins: -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl--CD (HP--CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), random substituted methyl--CD (M--CD), three hydroxypropyl--CDs (HP--CD) with mutually different average degree of substitution, and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD). From the determined linear solubility diagrams the values of the binding constant K₁₁ of the inclusion complexes of nimodipine with the respective CDs were evaluated. The -CDs efficiently solubilized sparingly soluble nimodipine, the highest value of K₁₁ was found for M--CD (1680 M^-1), followed by -CD (550 M^-1) and HP--CDs, where the higher degree of substitution lowered K₁₁. Only slight solubilization of nimodipine was observed in the solutions of the -CDs and HP--CD.     

Three-component complexes of cyclodextrins. Exciplex formation in cyclodextrin cavity

The fluorescence quenching of naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and acenaphthene by trimethylamine (TMA) was studied in aqueous -cyclodextrin (-CD) solutions to know the structural requirements for guest molecules to form three-component complexes. The apparent rates for the fluorescence quenching of the naphthalene derivatives by TMA markedly increased in the presence of -CD. The fluorescence quenching of 1-methylnaphthalene and acenaphthene by TMA was accelerated by -CD more efficently than that of naphthalene. These results suggest the structures of the three-component complexes as the arene-capped -CD including TMA in its cavity.     

Polymorphic modifications of barium metagermanate

Polymorphic transformations of BaGeO₃ were investigated by DTA and X-ray diffraction methods and the data obtained were compared with those previously published. BaGeO₃ undergoes a reversible phase transformation at 1100° from a low-temperature hexagonal polymorph to a medium-temperature polymorph having an unknown crystal structure, which undergoes a further reversible transformation at 1200° to a high-temperature orthorhombic polymorph found to be stable up to the melting temperature of 1287°. On cooling from the melt, the high-temperature form can be retained metastably at room temperature, but transforms to the low-temperature form at 900°.

Zusammenfassung Polymorphe Umwandlungen von BaGeO₃ wurden unter Anwendung der DTA- und Röntgendiffraktionsmethoden untersucht und die erhaltenen Angaben mit den früher veröffentlichten verglichen. Bei 1100° vollzieht sich eine reversible Phasentransformation der BaGeO₃ von der hexagonalen Struktur bei niedrigen Temperaturen in eine Verbindung unbekannter Kristallstruktur bei mittleren Temperaturen, welche wiederum bei 1200° eine weitere reversible Umwandlung in eine orthorhombische Struktur erfuhr und sich bis zur Schmelztemperatur von 1287° als stabil erwies. Beim Abkühlen der Schmelze kann die Form bei hohen Temperaturen bei Zimmertemperatur in metastabilem Zustand erhalten bleiben, wird jedoch bei 900° in die Form bei niedrigen Temperaturen umgewandelt.

Résumé On a étudié les transformations polymorphiques de BaGeO₃ par ATD et diffraction des rayons X et comparé les résultats avec ceux obtenus antérieurement. A 1100° C BaGeO₃ subit une transformation de phase réversible de la forme hexagonale stable à basse température à la forme stable à moyenne température, de structure cristalline inconnue, qui se transforme réversiblement à 1200° C en une phase orthorhombique qui reste stable jusqu'à 1287° C. Au refroidissement, la forme stable à haute température peut être maintenue à l'état métastable à la température ambiante, mais elle se transforme à 900° C en la forme stable à basse température.

Investigation on the thermal behaviour of Mg(NO3)2·6H2O

DTA, DSC and X-ray investigations of Mg(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O revealed a lattice transformation at (71±2) C withH=12.5 J/g, and congruent melting at 90 C withH=150.3 J/g. The results of the DTA investigations on different Mg(NO₃)₂-H₂O samples are in good agreement with those of solubility investigations. The melting enthalpy of Mg(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O is lowered considerably by deviation from the stoichiometric water content of the compound. The results allow conclusions as to the application of this salt hydrate as a latent heat-storage material.

Zusammenfassung DTA-, DSC- und röntgenographische Untersuchungen von Mg(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O zeigten die Existenz einer Gitterumwandlung bei (71±2) C mitH=12.5 J/g und ein kongruentes Schmelzen bei 90 C mitH=150.3 J/g. Die Ergebnisse der DTA-Untersuchungen an verschiedenen Mg(NO₃)₂-H₂O Proben stehen in guter übereinstimmung mit denen von Löslichkeitsuntersuchungen. Durch ein Abweichen vom stöchiometrischen Wassergehalt der Verbindung wird die Schmelzenthalpie von Mg(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O beträchtlich vermindert. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen Aussagen zur Anwendbarkeit dieses Salzhydrates als Wärmespeichermedium.

Formulation and Preliminary in vivo Testing of Rufloxacin-Cyclodextrin Ophthalmic Solutions

Aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of somecyclodextrins (CDs) on the solubility and ocular bioavailability of rufloxacin base (RUF), with theultimate goal of developing an ophthalmic formulation. Phase solubility studies of RUF inpH 7.4 buffer were carried out in the presence of -cyclodextrin (-CD),hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD) and -cyclodextrin(-CD). The effect of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) on RUF solubility was evaluated after heating the solutionscontaining HP--CD at 120 °C.A significant enhancement of RUF solubility was achieved by associatingthe drug with CDs, particularly HP--CD. This CD formed with RUF a less stablecomplex than that formed by -CD, but did not suffer the solubility limitations ofthe parent CD, and showed a higher solubilizing capacity than -CD. Addition of 0.25%(w/v) HPMC to solutions containing HP--CD increased the solubilizing effect of this CD,thus allowing reduction of the amount necessary for solubilization of 0.3% (w/v) RUF.Preliminary pharmacokinetic data in rabbits indicated that theocular bioavailability of 0.3% (w/v) RUF solubilized by HP--CD was higher when compared witha 0.3% (w/v) RUF suspension used as reference.

NMR Spectral Assignment of Per-substituted Key-Intermediates of β-Cyclodextrin and Implications in the Structures of the Derivatives

The compounds, 6-per-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)--cyclodextrin(1), 2,3-per-O-benzyl-6-per-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)--cyclodextrin(2), 2,3-per-O-benzyl--cyclodextrin (3),2,3,6-per-O-benzyl--cyclodextrin (4),2,3,6-per-O-benzoyl--cyclodextrin (5), are used as keyintermediates in the synthesis of selectively substituted -CD derivatives. Simple and assignable ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra (chemical shifts and coupling constants) were obtained for compounds1–4 indicating C₇ symmetry, ⁴C₁ glucose conformation and major arrangement of H6, H6' atoms at the primary side. The derivative 5, however, gave very broad peaksat room temperature. The peaks could partially be assigned at 270 K, but the broadening was still present at 220 K. This implies that there exist several conformers of similar energyand C₁ symmetry that continuously interchange, since there is not a single type of stabilizing interaction thatpredominates. We attributed this phenomenon to the presence of the carbonyl group, which probablydisfavors - stacking and induces random arrangements of the aromatic rings.
