Conformation of permethylated cyclodextrins and the host-guest geometry of their inclusion complexes

Macrocylic conformation of permethylated cyclodextrins and the geometry of their inclusion complexes were examined on the basis of the X-ray data of three permethylated -cyclodextrin complexes and two permethylated -cyclodextrin complexes. The host macrocyclic ring is remarkably distorted owing to steric hindrance involving the methyl groups and the inability to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The guest molecules are included within the host cavity, but their position and orientation are quite different from those found in the corresponding cyclodextrin complexes.     

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.

Structure and molecular dynamics of solid-state inclusion complexes of cyclodextrin and permethylated cyclodextrin with benzaldehyde studied by high-resolution CP/MAS13C NMR

The structure and molecular dynamics of the benzaldehyde inclusion-complexes with -and-cyclodextrins and permethylated -cyclodextrin in the solid state have been studied by high-resolution cross-polarization/magic angle sample-spinning¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It is shown that the guest benzaldehyde molecule undergoes motion in the host cyclodextrin cavity and the rate of motion depend on the cavity size. In the -cyclodextrin complex, compared to -and permethylated -cyclodextrin complexes, the benzaldehyde motion is severely restricted, but under high-vacuum benzaldehyde is released more easily from the cavity.     

Formation of Supramolecular Polymers Constructed by Cyclodextrins with Cinnamamide

-Cyclodextrin having cinnamamide at 6- or 3-positions (6-CiNH--CD, 3-CiNH--CD) and -cyclodextrin with cinnamamide on 6-position (6-CiNH--CD) have been prepared. Supramolecular structures were formed in the solid state or aqueous solutions and characterized by measurements of NMR and vapor pressure osmometry (VPO). The results indicate that 6-CiNH--CD formed insoluble supramolecular polymers in the solid state, while 6-CiNH--CD and 3-CiNH--CD formed supramolecular complexes in aqueous solutions. 6-CiNH--CD was found to form a dimer in an aqueous solution. 3-CiNH--CD formed intermolecular complexes to give supramolecular polymers. The differences of the position of guest part on cyclodextrins caused to give a variety of supramolecular structures in aqueous solutions.     

Reduction of phytotoxicity of nonionic tensides by cyclodextrins

The effect of nonionic tenside nonylphenylnonylglycolate and its -, -, -cyclodextrin, 2,6-di-O-methyl--cyclodextrin (DIMEB) and 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl--cyclodextrin (TRIMEB) complexes was tested on the potassium influx of wheat seedling roots. Tenside alone inhibited strongly the potassium influx. This noxious effect was alleviated by cyclodextrins. The alleviating effect increased with increasing cyclodextrin: tenside molar ratio, in the order: DIMEB>CD>CD>CDTRIMEB.Presented at the Fourth Internatinal Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena and the Third International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, Lancaster, U.K., 20–25 July 1986.     

Enhancement of Nasal Absorption of Acyclovir via Cyclodextrins

The objective of this work was to increase the nasal absorption of acyclovir by using cyclodextrins as absorption enhancers. Acyclovir was selected as a model drug. A rat in situ nasal perfusion technique was utilized in the investigation to examine the rate and extent of absorption of acyclovir. The remaining analyte concentrations in the nasal perfusate were quantitated by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. In vitro enzymatic drug degradation study was carried out with rat nasal washings. Various experimental conditions were optimized such as nasal perfusion rate, pH of the perfusion medium, and concentrations of cyclodextrins such as, , , methyl-,hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrins. Nasal absorption of acyclovir was pH dependent. Initial absorption rate constants were determined by the plot of log % remaining amount of drug in perfusate vs time. It was maximum at pH 7.4 and decreases at lower and higher pH conditions. The uptake of analyte by flow circuit component was assessed prior to the animal study to minimize system artifacts. In in-vitro enzymatic degradation study, no measurable degradation was observed during first week. The extent of drug absorption was increased via absorption enhancers. From the above absorption enhancers, hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin appeared to be more effective for enhancing the nasal absorption of acyclovir than the other absorption enhancers. The order of increasing absorption of acyclovir caused by the enhancers washydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (5%) >methyl--cyclodextrin(5%) > -cyclodextrin (1.3%) >-cyclodextrin (1.5%) >-cyclodextrin (2%).     

Influence of cyclodextrins on nitrosation of drugs

The World Health Organization issued a nitrosation procedure (NAP Test) which allows to carry out nitrosation under standard conditions. It has proved that the in vitro reaction rates of the fast nitrosatable drugs piperazine, cimetidine and ethambutol are not influenced by -, - and -cyclodextrin. On the contrary, -, -cyclodextrin and heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl--cyclodextrin enhance the nitrosation of the slower nitrosatable 1-ephedrine and fencamfamine significantly. This possible reaction must be considered if nitrosatable drugs are formulated with cyclodextrins to be administered to human beings.

Investigation of gas chromatographic interaction mechanism on permethylated cyclodextrins by molecular modelling

Summary The capillary gas chromatographic retention behavior of -pinene and tricyclene has been investigated on stationary phases of different polarities. On all but one of the columns employed, tricyclene eluted before -pinene; only permethylated -cyclodextrins dissolved in moderately polar polisiloxanes gave a reversed elution order. The intermolecular interactions which caused the unexpected retention behavior were investigated in detail, applying methods of computer simulation. To achieve this, we have developed a calculation algorithm on the basis of molecular mechanical optimizations and programmed it in a macro. This makes it possible to systematically investigate a given configuration space in which all the possible interactions can take place. It was shown that permethylated -cyclodextrin as host molecule for both guest molecules offers an optimum cavity size. As a result the number of energetically favorable contacts between host and guest molecules as well as the strength of the interactions in this stationary phase were larger. As a consequence the elution order, normally only influenced by the vapor pressure of the compounds at a given temperature, was changed. Nonspecific interactions played an especially important role for these kinds of substances.

Influence of HCl on butene isomerization catalyzed by ethanolic rhodium trichloride II. Calculation and interpretation of the rate constants of the triangle scheme

The values of the rate constants of the triangle scheme, calculated by means of a non-linear least-squares method, depend systematically on the HCl concentration. The alteration of the cis-trans selectivity expressed by the ratio k_1c/k_1t might indicate a change in the mechanism of isomerization with the HCl concentration.

Volume change on complex formation between anions and cyclodextrins in aqueous solution

Partial molal volume changes during complex formation between SCN^–, I^–, and ClO₄ ^– -and -cyclodextrin have been determined by two independent methods of measurements; one based on density measurement and subsequent calculation of apparent molal volumes, the other on differentiating the association constants with respect to pressure. Results from the two methods are in good agreement.Negative volume changes were observed for complex formation between the anions and -cyclodextrin while zero or slightly positive values were observed for complex formation with -cyclodextrin. The result is consistent with the idea that the anions do not become dehydrated as they form complexes with 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.
