amylose and amylopectin. Both are glucose polymers, but amylose is of linear, helical structure due to the α-1→4 glycosidic bonds, while amylopectin has branched configuration. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are produced from the amylose helices maintaining α-1
Abstract
Citronellol and citronellyl acetate have been entrapped with α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin (CD). Evolved gas detection and TG-MS coupling was applied to prove the actual inclusion complex formation between monoterpens and CDs. The terpene content was determined by UV-VIS specrophotometry and RP-HPLC and the effect of storage time on the terpene content was also investigated. The α- and γ-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes showed higher thermal stabilities vs. dynamic heating compared to the β-CD complexes. On the contray, the retention of guest using β-cyclodextrin even after 10 years of storage was much more pronounced. Experimental data other than 1:1 complex compositions are assumed. Molecular modeling experiments also suggested multiple complex compositions.
Solid inclusion complexes of TolperisoneHCl with five various cyclodextrins were prepared by kneading and spray drying. The complex formation between the drug and the cyclodextrins were proven using thermoanalytical methods, X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy. The results of the solid state investigations were supported by the liquid phase investigations, such solubility and parition constant measurements and stability constant determination. Among all cyclodextrins used the β- and γ-CD-s were found to be the best complexing agents.
Abstract
Derivatographic and calorimetric measurements were used to study the thermal properties of combined inclusion compounds of zeolite-cyclodextrin type and of zeolite-cyclodextrin-pharmaceutical type. There were differences in the characteristic decomposition temperature intervals and in the modes of cyclodextrin and pharmaceutical liberation from the products. Calorimetric measurements revealed that the process in the newly-formed complex host is connected with a glass transition. The products are intended for use in veterinary medicine.
Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are widely used as delivery systems of poorly water soluble drugs in pharmacological applications. The delivery system produces an increase of aqueous solubility of the drug and significant modifications in its physico-chemical and pharmacological properties. In this paper we report the results of our study on aqueous solutions of chlorophyll a, a natural pigment useful as sensitizer in the photodynamic therapy, and two CDs: hydroxypropyl- b-cyclodextrin and heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-b-cyclodextrin. The interactions between chlorophyll and CDs and the effect produced by the presence of the CDs on the aggregation of chlorophyll were studied by calorimetric and UV-Vis spectrophotometric measurements respectively.
Abstract
The thermal behaviour of the aminosalicylic acids is compared with the behaviour of their 1:1 molar ratio physical and kneaded mixtures with each of three different cyclodextrins (b-, hydroxypropyl-b-, and g-cyclodextrin), using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry coupled with evolved gas analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. X-ray powder diffraction and infrared spectroscopy provided complementary information. Comparison of the effects of the different cyclodextrins on the behaviour of the individual aminosalicylic acid isomers shows that hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin has the greatest interaction with 3-aminosalicylic acid and 5-aminosalicylic acid, followed by g-cyclodextrin, while b-cyclodextrin generally shows the least interaction. For 4-aminosalicylic acid, the effect of g-cyclodextrin seems to be more marked than for 3-aminosalicylic acid and 5-aminosalicylic acid.
Abstract
The complexation of aliphatic alcohols by α- and β-cyclodextrins and their partially methylated derivatives has been studied by means of calorimetric titrations in aqueous solution. The methyl substituents have no pronounced influence upon the complex formation. α-Cyclodextrin and the partially methylated derivative form with only few exceptions more stable than β-cyclodextrin. With increasing chain length of the alcohols the values of the stability constants and reaction enthalpies increase in case of the complex formation with α-cyclodextrin and partially methylated α-cyclodextrin. In contrast the complex formation becomes disfavoured by the reaction entropy with an increasing number of methylene groups. The values of the reaction enthalpies with the β-cyclodextrins are close to zero. Thus the complexation is only favoured by entropic contributions.
Summary The interaction of cypermethrin with β-cyclodextrin was investigated using different (coprecipitation, suspension, kneading and ‘melting in solution’) complexation methods and qualifying the resulted complexes by UV-spectrophotometry, thermal methods (TG, DTG and DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction. The total guest content of complexes can be measured by UV-spectrophotometry in aqueous ethanol solution, while the uncomplexed guest fraction of samples can be determined by DSC based on a previous calibration curve, which was found between the melting enthalpy change of cypermethrin and the guest content of physical mixture samples. The combination of both analytical methods enables the determination of really complexed guest content.
Abstract
The thermal behaviour of benzoic and salicylic acids is compared with the behaviour of 1:1 molar ratio physical and kneaded mixtures of these acids with each of three different cyclodextrins (b-, hydroxypropyl-b-, and g-cyclodextrin). Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry coupled with evolved gas analysis by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used for the thermal studies and X-ray powder diffraction and infrared spectroscopy provided complementary information. Thermal studies of benzoic acid with the cyclodextrins showed significant interactions in both physical and kneaded mixtures of benzoic acid/b-cyclodextrin and benzoic acid/hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin. Interactions in the kneaded benzoic acid/g-cyclodextrin mixtures were the most extensive as might be expected for the cyclodextrin with the largest molecular cavity. The results for the salicylic acid/b-cyclodextrin and salicylic acid/hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin mixtures were similar to those for benzoic acid/b-cyclodextrin and benzoic acid/hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin. Again, the kneaded salicylic acid/g-cyclodextrin mixture showed the most interaction.
Abstract
Nifedipine complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2HP-β-CD), randomly methylated-β-cyclodextrin (RM-β-CD) and heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD) have been prepared by both kneading and heating methods and their behaviour studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), diffuse reflectance mid-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). DSC revealed the nifedipine melting endotherm with onset at approximately 171°C for the kneaded mixtures with β-CD, γ-CD and 2HP-β-CD, thus confirming the presence of nifedipine in the crystalline state, while some decrease in crystallinity was observed in the DM-β-CD kneaded mixture. With RM-β-CD, however, broadening and shifting of the nifedipine endotherm and reduction in its intensity suggested that the kneading could have produced an amorphous inclusion complex. These differing extents of interaction of nifedipine with the cyclodextrins were confirmed by FTIR and XRD studies.
