Association of poly-N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl] acrylamide with a water soluble β-cyclodextrin polymer

An acrylic polymer with pendent adamantyl groups was synthesized and its properties in an aqueous solution with a β-cyclodextrin (βCD) epichlorhydrin polymer examined. Viscosity properties of precursor and modified polymers show differences at low concentrations, but not at higher concentration probably due to very important hydrogen bonds which prevent the formation of intermolecular hydrophobic bonds. The association of both complementary polymers through the inclusion of adamantyl groups is evidenced by phases separation occurrence. Phase diagrams were established at two different concentrations of polymers. We have shown a maximal association of both polymers at these two concentrations, for the same ratio βCD moles/adamantyl groups: 2.4. Salt addition favors this association and displaces the two phases zone to smaller concentrations of modified polymer. Further, 4-nitrophenol can be extracted by the concentrated phase resulting from mixture of solutions of guest and host polymers, pointing out the availability of the associated phase to trap organic molecules.     

New pH sensitive network: Combination of an amphiphilic degradable polyester with a β-cyclodextrin copolymer

A novel hydrophobic monomer, ethyladamantyl malolactonate, has been synthesized and copolymerized with benzyl malolactonate by anionic ring-opening polymerization. The ratio of adamantyl monomer varied from 0 to 100 mol%. Deprotection of benzyl groups leads to a water soluble copolyester with carboxylic acid lateral functions which give a polyelectrolyte character to the corresponding polymers. The mixture of a copolyester containing 10% of adamantyl groups and a β-cyclodextrin/epichlorohydrin copolymer in aqueous solution leads to a new pH-dependant associating system. The solution behavior of this system was studied by viscosimetry as a function of pH, concentration and ratio of both copolymers. At the initial solution pH (pH=2), the copolyester adopts a coiled structure as a result of hydrophobic interactions between the pendant adamantyl groups. Consequently, no network formation is observed as shown by a very low viscosity. As the pH increase, the viscosity of the medium increases and reaches a maximum at pH=5. At this pH, the copolyester expands because of electrostatic repulsions between the carboxylate pendant functions. Consequently, the adamantyl groups are accessible and can be encapsulated into the β-cyclodextrin cavities resulting in a significant increase of the viscosity.     

New associating polymer systems involving water soluble β-cyclodextrin polymers

Original associating systems have been obtained by mixing hydrophobically end-capped polyethylene oxide and water soluble β-cyclodextrin polymers in aqueous solutions. The hydrophobic ends of the PEO polymers, naphtyl and adamantyl groups, have been chosen in order to match the β-cyclodextrin cavities. Inclusion complex formation between the PEO terminal groups and β-cyclodextrin are at the origin of polymolecular associations. Complexation constants have been determined by fluorescence methods, using a fluorescent probe 1-8 ANS as a competitor for complexation against the adamantyl groups or directly checking the fluorescence of the naphtytl groups by fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The onsets of the polymolecular associations have been monitored by viscosimetry.     

Size-controlled nanoassemblies based on cyclodextrin-modified dextrans

Nanoassemblies formed by host/guest interactions between two polymers in aqueous media are studied. Two types of polymers with the same dextran backbone are modified with adamantyl or βCD groups. The sizes of the spontaneously formed nanoassemblies depend on the βCD:Ada ratio and on the total concentration and composition of the mixtures. The results can be rationalized by assuming a core/shell structure of the nanoassemblies, the core resulting from associative phase separation of the two polymers and being stabilized by an external shell made of Ada-grafted dextran and containing ions adsorbed from the solution. Hydrophobic compounds such as benzophenone can be incorporated efficiently without inducing changes in properties of the nanoassemblies.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL HYDROPHILIC POLYMERS

ABSTRACT

Different types of multifunctional hydrophilic polymers were synthesized and characterized in view of their possible biomedical application. Several poly(amide)s and poly(ester-amide)s containing oligo(oxyethylene) segments and tartaric or succinic acid residues were prepared by activated polycondensation methods. New functional derivatives of β-cyclodextrin were obtained by reaction with glycidyl ether of protected polyols. The mechanism of β-cyclodextrin polymerization with epichlorohydrine was investigated by ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy.     

Using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography to study the complexation of anthocyanins with β-cyclodextrin

It is shown by means of reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP HPLC) with mobile phases containing additions of β-cyclodextrin that 5-glucosides of cyanidin and pelargonidin form stronger inclusion complexes than 3-glucosides; this is explained by the steric interference of the glucoside radical.     

pH Sensitive supramolecular assembling system between a new linear water soluble β-cyclodextrin terpolymer and an amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)

A linear water soluble β-cyclodextrin terpolymer (P(MVE-AM)-g-βCD) was synthesized by grafting different amounts of βCD on the copolymer P(MVE-AM). The resulting terpolymer showed a pH sensitive behaviour in aqueous solution, due to the presence of carboxylic acid groups. Whatever the substitution degree in βCD, the terpolymer behaved like a polyacid at pH 7, and had neutral properties at pH 2. The mixture of P(MVE-AM)-g-βCD with an amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-Ad₃) showed an associative phase separation influenced by the pH and concentration of the medium. In the dilute range and intermediate range, associative phase separations were induced reversibly by decreasing the pH from 7 to 2. The results in the semi-dilute range showed that networks were elaborated with much stronger dynamic modulus at low pH (pH 2) than at higher pH (pH 7). Coupled inclusion complex interactions (between the adamantyl groups of PEO-Ad₃ and the cyclodextrin cavities of P(MVE-AM)-g-βCD) with hydrogen bonding (between carboxylic acid groups and PEO backbone) could be a way to modulate the strength of the interactions in supramolecular assemblies. These results suggest that the mixture of P(MVE-AM)-g-βCD with PEO-Ad₃ could be a potential pH sensitive system.     

Binary and ternary inclusion complexes of dapsone in cyclodextrins and polymers: preparation, characterization and evaluation

Dapsone (DAP) is a synthetic sulfone drug with bacteriostatic activity, mainly against Mycobacterium leprae. In this study we have investigated the interactions of DAP with cyclodextrins, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) and β-cyclodextrin (βCD), in the presence and absence of water-soluble polymers, in order to improve its solubility and bioavailability. Solid systems DAP/HPβCD and DAP/βCD, in the presence or absence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K30) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), were prepared. The binary and ternary systems were evaluated and characterized by SEM, DSC, XRD and NMR analysis as well as phase solubility assays, in order to investigate the interactions between DAP and the excipients in aqueous solution. This study revealed that inclusion complexes of DAP and cyclodextrins (HPβCD and βCD) can be produced in order to improve DAP solubility and bioavailability in the presence or absence of polymers (PVP K30 and HPMC). The more stable inclusion complex was obtained with HPβCD, and consequently HPβCD was more efficient in improving DAP solubility than βCD, and the addition of polymers had no influence on DAP solubility or on the stability of the DAP/CDs complexes.

Arylcarbamoylated allylcarbamido-β-cyclodextrin: synthesis and immobilization on nonfunctionalized silica gel as a chiral stationary phase

Four new chiral stationary phases based on mono-(6^A-allylcarbamido-6^A-deoxy)-arylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin were synthesized. The chiral stationary phase of phenylcarbamoylated β-cyclodextrin exhibited excellent separation capability for a variety of chiral compounds. Compared with the previous work, it was found that the spacer remained on the surface of the silica gel and decreased the enantioseparation capability.     

Influence of the surface structure of β-cyclodexrin-containing silica on the adsorption of mercury nitrate from dilute solutions

The construction of adsorption sites for mercury(II) by chemical immobilization of β-cyclodextrin and its functional derivatives on a surface of macroporous amorphous silica is proposed. It is shown that the adsorption of mercury(II) is adequately described by the Langmuir isotherm equation for monolayer adsorption on localized sites of energetically homogeneous surfaces. It is established that the considerably increased sorption of mercury nitrate on silica modified by different β-cyclodextrins is due to the formation of 1: 1 β-cyclodextrin-nitrate ion inclusion complexes on the surface and the participation of side functional groups of the upper edge of immobilized β-cyclodextrin molecules in the formation of mixed-ligand mercury(II) complexes.     

Thermosensitive mucoadhesive gel formulation loaded with 5-Fu: cyclodextrin complex for HPV-induced cervical cancer

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infections are the major cause of cervical cancers. To achieve a better therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance in the treatment for HPV-induced cervical cancers, anticancer agent 5-fluorouracil has been formulated in a vaginal gel using the thermosensitive polymer Pluronic^® F127 together with alternative mucoadhesive polymers e.g., hyaluronic acid, Carbopol 934 and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. To increase its aqueous solubility and to achieve the complete release of 5-FU from the gel, the drug was incorporated as its inclusion complex with 1:1 molar ratio with either β-cyclodextrin or hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. Following the characterization of drug:CD complexes, thermosensitive gel formulations containing different mucoadhesive polymers and the drug in free or complexed form were characterized in vitro by determining the gelation temperature and the rheological behavior of different formulations along with the in vitro release profiles of these formulations in pH 5.5 citrate buffer. It was observed that complexation with cyclodextrin accelerated the release of 5-FU with the exception of formulation containing Carbopol 934 as mucoadhesive polymer. As far as rheological properties are concerned, favorable thermosensitive in situ gelling properties were obtained with formulations containing HPMC as mucoadhesive polymer. Complete release of 5-FU from gels were obtained with both complexes of β-CD and HP-β-CD and cytotoxicity studies against HeLa human cervical carcinoma cells demonstrated that 1% 5-FU:CD complexes were equally effective as 1% free 5-FU indicating better therapeutic efficacy with lower dose.     

Complexation of Volatile Organic Molecules from the Gas Phase with Cucurbituril and β-Cyclodextrin

Abstract

The first results about the complexing ability of the supramolecular ligand cucurbituril with different volatile organic molecules from the gas phase are presented. The behaviour of cucurbituril is similar to that of β-cyclodextrin. The capacity of both ligands was determined with toluene. Columns filled with β-cyclodextrin and cucurbituril have a capacity of 0.50 and 0.42 mol toluene per mol ligand, respectively. The extraction of volatile molecules is not limited to toluene, also several other organic molecules are complexed from the gas phase. The fluorescence spectra of the solid naphthaline and aniline complexes with cucurbituril and β-cyclodex-trin are presented. Comparing the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves of cucurbituril, the cucurbituril toluene complex and silica gel with adsorbed toluene shows that a complexation and no adsorption takes place.

Quantitative evaluation of interactions of organic compounds with 18-crown ethers and β-cyclodextrin as components of stationary phases for gas chromatography

Individual stationary phases for gas chromatography based on 18-crown-6 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 (10% on Inerton N AW) and a stationary phase of a mixed composition (polyethylene glycol PEG-3000 and cyclodextrin β-CD) are prepared. These stationary phases are characterized using the McReynolds system and the Abraham solvation parameter model. It is shown that the solvation parameter model can be used to estimate the polarity of gas-chromatographic stationary phases based on the differences in intermolecular interactions between the studied gas-chromatographic stationary phase and the analyte during the separation process. Binary gas-chromatographic stationary phases based on glycerin and β-cyclodextrin with different concentrations of the macrocycle are studied at temperatures of 60 and 80°C, and the complexation constants of β-cyclodextrin with organic substances of various classes are calculated.     

Study of the interaction between modified cyclodextrin and octopriox : potential applications in drug delivery

Host–guest interactions between the antifungal agent Octopirox^® (Oc) and modified β-cyclodextrin-derivatives were studied using ¹H- and 2D-ROESY NMR spectroscopy, Job-Plot and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). In addition to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) a number of derivatives, namely randomly methacrylated β-cyclodextrin (RM-β-CD), mono-methacrylated β-cyclodextrin (MM-β-CD), randomly methylated β-cyclodextrin (RAMEB), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and randomly methacrylated hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (RM-HP-β-CD) were used. NMR data suggests the formation of highly ordered complexes, while ITC measurements allowed the identification of their stoichiometries and the thermodynamic data. To evaluate the possibility of retarded drug release from complexes prepared from polymeric materials like artificial nails, the complexes were polymerized with comonomers and subjected to aqueous extraction followed by quantification of Oc release by means of UV-spectroscopy.     

Light-triggered reversible assemblies of azobenzene-containing amphiphilic copolymer with β-cyclodextrin-modified hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles for controlled drug release

Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSs) were modified by β-cyclodextrin via a "click" reaction, an amphiphilic copolymer with a trans-azobenzene structure was then assembled onto β-cyclodextrin to cover the surface of the HMSs. The prepared nanocomposites can release drugs in a "release-stop-release" manner by converting light irradiation.     

The HPLC Enantioresolution of Phenyl Isocyanated Amino Acids, Peptides and Amino Alcohols on Cyclodextrin Bonded Phases Using the Acetonitrile-Based Mobile Phase

A variety of amino acids (primary and secondary), peptides and amino alcohols are pre-column phenyl isocyanated in alkaline medium and enantioresolved on the naphthylethylcarbamated β-cyclodextrin (i.e., RN- and SN-β-CD) bonded chiral phases (CSPs) using the acetonitrile-based mobile phase and on a native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) phase for comparison. The resolution is believed to be a result of the hydrogen bonding between the secondary hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrin and the functional groups of analyte and is enhanced as the amino and the carboxyl groups are attached to the stereogenic center of analyte. Also, the enhancement is observed if the steric hindrance between the side-chain group of amino acid and the chiral selector exists. However, the resolution is deteriorated in the case that the side-chain group close to the stereogenic center of amino acid becomes bulky or is capable of forming hydrogen bonding with chiral selector. The aromatic moiety of the tagging reagent not only contributes the retention, but also benefits the resolution in some cases on the RN- and SN-β-CD phases through π-π interaction. The resolution is either not observed or unsatisfactory in the reversed-phase mode.
