Complex formation of some nonionic surfactants with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and with heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin

The interaction of six nonionic surfactants -[4-(1,1,3,3-tetra-methylbutyl)phenyl]--hydroxypoly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) with hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HPCD) and dimethyl--cyclodextrin (DIMEB) was studied by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography in the presence and absence of sodium chloride. Each surfactant formed complexes with both cyclodextrin derivatives; however, the strength of interaction varied considerably. DIMEB formed more stable inclusion complexes with the surfactants than did HPCD. A longer ethyleneoxide chain decreased the strength of interaction, whereas sodium chloride exerted a negligible impact. Principal component analysis indicated that both the hydrophobicity and the specific hydrophobic surface are of the surfactant influenced the complex formation indicating the hydrophobic character of the interaction.Dedicated to Professor József Szejtli.     

Composition and properties of freeze-dried products of nicotinic acid withβ-cyclodextrin and heptakis (2,6-0-dimethyl)-β-cyclodextrin

The purpose of the study was to examine the formation of inclusion compounds in the freeze-dried products obtained from aqueous solutions of nicotinic acid and -cyclodextrin (-CD), or heptakis (2,6-0-dimethyl)--cyclodextrin (DIMEB). The molar ratios used were 1:1 and 2:1. In addition two freezing temperatures (–40 and –196°C) and different secondary drying temperatures (+50 and +80°C) were used. Freeze-dried products with -CD obtained after low temperature freezing are of the same crystallographic structure as seen in a pure inclusion compound prepared by coprecipitation. Amorphous products were formed after fast freezing. The molar ratios of included nicotinic acid in the freeze-dried products vary — dependent on the preparation conditions — between 0.75:1 and 1:1. A factorial design proves that the included drug amount can be increased by enhancement of the amount of nicotinic acid used, by faster freezing, and by the combination of these two factors. The proof of inclusion formation was given by a combination of X-ray diffractography, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and thermofractography.The freeze-dried preparations obtained with DIMEB were amorphous mixtures of the two components. No proof for inclusion of the nicotinic acid in the cyclodextrin cavity could be given. Higher (–40°C) or lower (–196°C) freezing temperatures and the running of the secondary drying process could not influence these results. The very low stability constant of the complex and steric reasons are responsible for this behavior.     

Complexation of (l)-alanine-β-naphthylamide hydrobromide with methyl-β-cyclodextrin: An ultrafiltration study

The complexation constant for the system (l)-alanine--naphthylamide hydrobromide (S) and methyl--cyclodextrin (Me--CD) has been determined using an ultrafiltration method. Me--CD and its inclusion complex are retained by ultrafiltration (UF) membranes of 1 kDalton molecular weight cut-off with a rejection rate of 97%. As the substrate S passes freely throughout the UF membrane, the concentration of free and bounded S is easily determined. The value thus obtained for the complexation constants is in good agreement with those previously reported for similar inclusion complexes. In addition, the specific optical rotation of the complex has been determined. As expected, the specific rotations of S and CD are not additive.     

Complexation of ebastine with β-cyclodextrin derivatives

Complexation of ebastine (EB) with hydroxypropyl and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD and Me-β-CD) was studied in aqueous solutions and in the solid state. The formation of inclusion complexes in aqueous solutions was analysed by the solubility method. The assays were designed using low CD concentrations compared with the solubility of these derivatives in order to avoid non-inclusion phenomena and to obtain a linear increase in EB solubility as a function of CD concentration. The values of complexation efficiency for HP-β-CD and Me-β-CD were 1.9 × 10^?2 and 2.1 × 10^?2, respectively. It seems that the non polar character of the methyl moiety slightly favoured complexation. In relation to solid state complexation, 1:1 EB:CD systems were prepared by kneading, and by heating a drug-CD mixture at 90 ºC. They were analysed using X ray diffraction analysis by comparison with their respective physical mixtures. A complex with a characteristic diffraction pattern similar to that of the channel structure of β-CD was formed with Me-β-CD in 1:1 melted and 1:2 EB:CD kneaded systems. Complexation with HP-β-CD was not clearly evidenced because only a slight reduction of drug crystallinity was detected. Finally, the loading of EB in two β-CD polymers cross-linked with epichlorohydrin yielded 7.3 and 7.7 mg of EB/g polymer respectively.     

Complexation of herbicide bentazon with native and modified β-cyclodextrin

For first time the complexation of bentazon (Btz) with native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and modified sulfobutylether-β-CD (SBE-CD) was studied by differential pulse voltammetry. In addition, a spectrophotometry UV–Visible study was carried out. In presence of CDs there is a decrease of the anodic peak current with the increase of the amount of CD. This decrease is due to the lower diffusion coefficient of Btz/CD complex compared with the free guest. Using the variation in current, association constants of 118 ± 20 and 317 ± 25 M^?1 for β-CD and SBE-CD were determined. The solubility of bentazon was 8 fold higher with SBE-CD as compared with bentazon-free. Phase solubility diagrams performed using UV–Vis experiments permit to obtain the same association constants which were compared with the values obtained by electrochemical techniques.     

Complexation of ephedrine withβ-cyclodextrin: An NMR spectroscopy study

This study focuses on the inclusion complex of ephedrine with -CD. The association of -CD and ephedrine has been examined using¹H NMR and circular dichroism. The systematic shifts of the proton resonances of the phenyl moiety of ephedrine and that of the protons located inside the -CD cavity, provide evidence of intracavity inclusion. Two-dimensional ROESY show preferential localization of ephedrine in close proximity with protons located inside the -CD cavity. The systematic variation of circular dichroism spectra with increasing concentration of -CD is used to estimate the apparent formation constant.Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA 30322, U.S.A.     

Binding of vitamin A byβ-cyclodextrin and heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl)-β-cyclodextrin

Inclusion complexation of all-trans-retinol, retinal and retinoic acid with -cyclodextrin (-CD) and heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CD) were investigated by means of UV-vis spectroscopy. The association constants (K _a) obtained for vitamin A with DM--CD is greater than with -CD. On the other hand, for the same host compoundK _a values of retinol, retinal and retinoic acid are very close to each other.     

Alfaxalone: Effect of Temperature on Complexation with 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

Phase solubility analysis is used to investigate the complex formation of alfaxalone with various cyclodextrins(2-hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrine [HPBCD],-cyclodextrin [BCD] and2-hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin [HPGCD]).The complexationwith HPBCD was studied in more detail by looking at the effect of temperature on the stability constants using phase solubility analysis. HPLC-analysis was used to measure the dissolved amount of alfaxalone.The solubility of alfaxalone increases linearly with increasing concentration of cyclodextrin, suggesting the formation of a 1 : 1 complex. For the parent BCD the complex starts precipitating out of solution when the solubilizer concentration exceeds 0.25% making the unsubstituted BCD less useful for the preparation of solutions of alfaxalone. Substituted cyclodextrins do not form insoluble complexes with alfaxalone. The complexation constant for BCD and HPBCD are comparable in magnitude, but for HPGCD, the constant is substantially lower.The effect of temperature on thecomplexation constant was also studied at elevated temperature. Increasing the temperature results in an increased S₀ (solubility without HPBCD) and a decrease in the value of the complexation constant. The net effect results in minor changes of the solubility of alfaxalone as a function of temperature. Based on regression analysis, the change in enthalpy for complex formation between alfaxalone and HPBCD is calculated as -4610 cal/mol.The results indicate that substitutedcyclodextrins are useful in the preparation of solutions of alfaxalone. Since 1 : 1 complexes are formed there is no theoretical danger for precipitation on dilution, e.g., after injection.     

Syntheses of 6N(N′-formyl-D-phenylalanyl)-deoxyamino-β-cyclodextrin and 6N(N′-formyl-L-phenylalanyl)deoxyamino-β-cyclodextrin and their inclusion behavior

6N(N-formyl-D-phenylalanyl)-deoxyamino--cyclodextrin and 6N(N-formyl-L-phenylal-anyl)-deoxyamino--cyclodextrin (I andII) were prepared. These new hosts formed intramolecular host-guest complexes and included naphthyl derivatives preferentially with a stoichiometry of 1:1. The inclusion behavior was different between I and II because the cavity shape formed with the CD cavity and the phenylalanine moiety of I was different from that of II.     

Inclusion complexes of sulfanilamide with β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

Sulfanilamide belongs to the group of drugs that have a bacteriostatic effect on different pathogenic microorganisms. This activity originates from the competitive antagonism with p-aminobenzoic acid, which is an integral part of folic acid. The safe use of sulfanilamide is limited due to poor solubility in the aqueous medium. Therefore, the aim of this paper is the synthesis of sulfanilamide, as well as preparing and structural characterization of its inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. The crude sulfanilamide was obtained in the synthesis between acetanilide and chlorosulfonic acid according to the standard procedure. The synthesized sulfanilamide was recrystallized from water in order to obtain the satisfactory purity of the substance. Sufanilamide was complexed with β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin by the co-precipitation method. A molecular encapsulation of sulfanilamide was confirmed by using FTIR, ¹H-NMR, XRD and DSC methods. Phase-solubility techniques were used to assess the formation of the inclusion complex between sulfanilamide and cyclodextrins. The photostability of sulfanilamide and its inclusion complexes was estimated by UVB irradiation in a photochemical reactor by applying the UV–Vis method. Based on the UV–Vis analysis, sulfanilamide:2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex was presented as more photostable than sulfanilamide:β-cyclodextrin complex and sulfanilamide. The obtained results enable the potential use of these inclusion complexes for the preparation of oral formulations due to the enhanced solubility of sulfanilamide.     

Inclusion of (aminostyryl)-1-methylpyridinium dyes byβ-cyclodextrin and its use for fluorescent-probe studies on association of cationic and neutral molecules withβ-cyclodextrin

An inclusion complex between TRIMEB and (S)-naproxen has been crystallised and characterised by physicochemical methods including X-ray analysis. The complex crystallises in the orthorhombic crystal system, space groupP2₁2₁2₁, witha=15.179(4),b=21.407(5),c=27.67(1) Å andZ=4. The structure was solved using published coordinates for the skeleton atoms of TRIMEB in an isomorphous complex. Refinement by full-matrix least-squares analysis yieldedR=0.0571 for 6573 unique observed reflections. Hydrophobic forces are responsible for the inclusion of the drug, which has its methoxy group buried in the cavity of the host and its propionic acid moiety protruding from the O(2), O(3) side of the TRIMEB molecule. Both host and guest undergo conformational changes on complexation relative to their conformations observed in the TRIMEB monohydrate and naproxen crystal structures respectively. Complex units pack in a screw-channel mode in a head-to-tail fashion with their axes almost parallel to theb-axis.     

Inclusion complexes of α- andβ-cyclodextrin with α-lipoic acid

A UV spectroscopic study has been performed in neutral aqueous solution to give the complex stability constants. Data analyses assuming 1:1 stoichiometry were successfully applied to both of the host-guest combinations employed, where 1:1 host-guest complex formations were observed at lower concentration of cyclodextrins (CDs). X-ray powder diffraction and IR spectroscopy measurements also demonstrated that inclusion complexes were formed in the solid state. Furthermore, thermogravimetry and DTA were used to investigated the thermal properties of these complexes. The differential thermal analysis, as well as temperature variation experiments below 100°C, indicated that after complexing the 1,2-thiolane moiety of -lipoic acid (LP) penetrated into the cavity of the CD and the S-S linkage was protected against heat.     

Complexation of β-cyclodextrin with carborane derivatives in aqueous solution

β-Cyclodextrin formed the most robust complexes with o-carboranols 1b and 1c in aqueous solution, and the association constants estimated from NMR titration studies indicated K_a >1 × 10⁶ M⁻¹ and K_a = 6 × 10⁵ M⁻¹, respectively.

Comparison of the Complexation of Cosmetical and Pharmaceutical Compounds with γ-Cyclodextrin, 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and Water-Soluble β-Cyclodextrin-co-epichlorhydrin Polymers

The ability of different cyclodextrins (CDs): CD, 2-hydroxypropyl CD to complex drugs like 3--hydroxy-11-oxoolean- 12-en-30-oic acid, 2-ethylhexyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propanoate and menthol was compared to that of water-soluble polymers: CD-co-epichlorhydrin polymer (pCD/EP) and CD-co-epichlorhydrin polymer partially modified with trimethylammonium groups (pCD/EPN⁺). 3--Hydroxy-11-oxoolean-12-en-30-oic acid was poorly solubilized by CD compared with other CD derivatives, however the determination of the complexation constants was possible for pCD/EP, K₁₁ = 740, K₁₂ = 4, for pCD/EPN⁺, K₁₁ = 681, for CD, K₁₁ = 16 and for hydroxypropyl CD, K₁₁ = 114, K₁₂ = 3.4. A significant increase of the solubility was observed for 2-ethylhexyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-propanoate with all host molecules, it was 916 times its solubility in pure water with pCD/EPN⁺, 1116 and 1300 times with 2-hydroxypropyl CD and pCD/EP respectively. The association constants are K₁₁ = 7970, K₁₁ = 4700, K₁₁ = 1470, K₁₁ = 230 and K₁₂ = 200 with pCD/EP, pCD/EPN⁺, CD, 2-hydroxypropyl CD respectively. An increase of the solubility of menthol was observed with all CD derivatives, up to 36–37 times, except for CD. The complexation constants are similar equal to about 200.     

Influence of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on the Protolytic Properties of N,N-Dimethyl-N′-(2-hydroxybenzyl) Ethylenediamine and Its Complexation with Copper(II)

To investigate the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (concentration C _s = 5 and 10 mM) on the acid–base properties of N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxybenzyl) ethylenediamine and its complexation with copper(II) (C _s = 10 mM) was studied using the methods of potentiometry, spectrophotometry (at 298 K), and mathematical simulation of equilibria in solutions. The sodium dodecyl sulfate contributes to the formation of a monomeric form of N,N-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine, while this compound exists in 40% isopropyl alcohol predominantly in the form of a dimer. The acidic properties of protonated monomeric and dimeric species are weaker than those in an aqueous alcohol solution. Sodium dodecyl sulfate facilitates the coordination of the deprotonated form of ligand. The region of the predominant accumulation of an uncharged complex of 1 : 2 composition is shifted to lower pH values (11.0 and 7.5, respectively), whereas the molar absorption coefficient of the complex increases by approximately 1.7 times. The apparent stability constants of complexes of the same type increase.     

Use of electrostatic interaction for chiral recognition. Enantioselective complexation of anionic binaphthyls with protonated amino-β-cyclodextrin

The studies using NMR and capillary zone electrophoresis clearly reveal that protonated 6^A-amino- 6^A-deoxy--cyclodextrin recognizes the chirality of anionic binaphthyl derivatives such as 1,1-binaphthyl-2,2-diyl phosphate and 1,1-binaphthyl-2,2-dicarboxylate through electrostatic interaction between the host and the guest and simultaneous inclusion.     

Complexation of tauro- and glyco-conjugated bile salts with α-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin studied by affinity capillary electrophoresis and molecular modelling

The interaction of the bile salts taurocholate, taurodeoxycholate, taurochenodeoxycholate, glycocholate, glycodeoxycholate, and glycochenodeoxycholate present in man, dog, and rat with α-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin was investigated by mobility shift affinity capillary electrophoresis. The cyclodextrins are applied as excipients for solubilisation of drug substances with poor aqueous solubility. Accurate determination of stability constants is challenging for weak analyte-ligand interactions such as the conjugated bile salt α-cyclodextrin interactions. A new approach for correction of medium effects due to the high additive concentrations in the background electrolyte was introduced. The use of prostaglandin A(1) as an interacting marker molecule offered a more satisfactory approach for correction than the commonly employed methods based on viscosity or current ratios. The interacting marker was chosen over a non-interacting marker to avoid the difficult validation of the non-interacting properties. The investigated bile salts all interacted with α-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-α-cyclodextrin. Stability constants ranging from 14 to 95 M(-1) were obtained with slightly higher affinities toward the substituted cyclodextrin. Molecular modelling demonstrated that the interaction between the two species involves the side chain of the bile salt. All together, these results indicate minor bile salt-mediated displacement of substances from α-cyclodextrin complexes in the small intestine.     

Synthesis of Specifically Fluorinated Methyl β-Glycosides of (1→6)-β-D-Galactooligosaccharides II. Methyl 4-Deoxy-4-fluoro-6-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-β-D-galactopyranoside

Abstract

Condensation of methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4-deoxy-4-fluoro-β-D-galactopyranoside with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide in the presence of mercuric cyanide in benzene afforded, in excellent yield, the β-linked product. Its deblocking, effected by hydrogenolytic cleavage of the benzyl groups followed by deacecylation or, alternatively, via a pathway where the sequence of the deblocking reactions was reversed, gave crystalline title disaccharide 10. The structures of the compounds involved in the synthesis were confirmed by C NMR spectroscopy.     

Sodium Dithionite Reduction of 2S,5R-(-)-menthone and R-(+)-pulegone in the Presence of β-Cyclodextrin and Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin

Menthone on reduction with sodium dithionite,showed a good amount of mentholformation in the water/DMF system, withincreasing -cyclodextrin (-CD)concentration from 47.0% for 0.1 equivalent of-CD to 93.5% for 1 equivalentof -CD. Increasing hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin(HP-CD) gave higher menthol/neomenthol (M/N) ratiosfrom 2.8 to 3.5. In the case of pulegone,increasing -CD showed an increase in the formationof menthols in thewater/DMF system from 13.3% for 0.1 equivalent of-CD to 78.1% for 1equivalent of -CD with greater proportions ofneomenthol and neoisomenthol.However, HP-CD which showed only marginalenhancement in the formationof menthol from menthone (32.1–41%), exhibiteda greater proportion of mentholformation in the case of pulegone (55.1%).However, the phase-transfer capabilityof HP-CD was not found to be significant.
