We describe a method to construct water-soluble porphyrinic nanospheres with enhanced photo-physical properties as a result of precluding (via intra-molecular host-guest interactions) the individual porphyrins units from aromatic-aromatic stacking. ...[more]

Project description:?- and ?-cyclodextrins have been used as scaffolds for the synthesis of six- and seven-legged templates by functionalizing every primary CH2OH with a 4-pyridyl moiety. Although these templates are flexible, they are very effective for directing the synthesis of macrocyclic porphyrin oligomers consisting of six or seven porphyrin units. The transfer of chirality from the cyclodextrin templates to their nanoring hosts is evident from NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Surprisingly, the mean effective molarity for binding the flexible ?-cyclodextrin-based template within the six-porphyrin nanoring (74?M) is almost as high as for the previously studied rigid hexadentate template (180?M). The discovery that flexible templates are effective in this system, and the availability of a template with a prime number of binding sites, open up many possibilities for the template-directed synthesis of larger macrocycles.

Project description:The equilibria of linoleic acid (LA)-cyclodextrin (CD) complexes were studied to investigate the behaviour of 'soluble lipids' in solution as a function of factors that typically affect biochemical processes, such as pH, temperature and CD structure. The above complexes are formed with a stoicheiometry of 1:2 in solution. The first CD molecule interacts with LA through hydrogen bonds when the pH is below the fatty acid pK; hydrophobic interactions may also play an important role at high pH. The second CD molecule makes only hydrophobic contact with the LA hydrocarbon chain. The formation of hydrogen bonds is dependent on the inner diameter of the CD whereas the strength of the hydrophobic interactions between CD and LA can be related to the presence of hydrophobic groups in the CD. The first CD molecule interacts more strongly with LA at increased temperatures. The quantitative description of the LA-CD interaction allows absolute control of the effects produced by the lipid on biochemical processes.

Project description:Recently, ?-cyclodextrin (?CD)-based polymers with enhanced adsorption kinetics and high removal capacity of organic micropollutants (OMPs) and uptake rates have been synthesized and tested experimentally. Although the exact physical-chemical mechanisms via which these polymers capture the various types of OMPs are not yet fully understood, it is suggested that the inclusion complex formation of OMPs with ?CD is very important. In this study, the inclusion complex formation of OMPs with ?CD in an aqueous solution is investigated by using the well-established attach-pull-release method in force field-based molecular dynamics simulations. A representative set of OMPs is selected based on the measured occurrences in surface and ground waters and the directives published by the European Union. To characterize the formation of the inclusion complex, the binding free energies, enthalpies, and entropies are computed and compared to experimental values. It is shown that computations using the q4md-CD/GAFF/Bind3P force field combination yield binding free energies that are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results for all OMPs studied. The binding enthalpies are decomposed into the main contributing interaction types. It is shown that, for all studied OMPs, the van der Waals interactions are favorable for the inclusion complexion and the hydrogen bond formation of the guest with the solvent and ?CD plays a crucial role in the binding mechanism. Our findings show that MD simulations can adequately describe the inclusion complex formation of ?CD with OMPs, which is the first step toward understanding the underlying mechanisms via which the ?CD-based polymers capture OMPs.

Project description:Cyclodextrin polymers and cyclodextrin-based nanosponges have been widely investigated for increasing drug bioavailability. This study examined curcumin's complexation stability and solubilization with β-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponge. Nanosponges were prepared through the cross-linking of β-cyclodextrin with different molar ratios of diphenyl carbonate. Phase solubility experiments were conducted to evaluate the formed complexes and evaluate the potential of using β-cyclodextrin and nanosponge in pharmaceutical formulations. Furthermore, physicochemical characterizations of the prepared complexes included PXRD, FTIR, NMR, and DSC. In addition, in vitro release studies were performed for the prepared formulations. The formation of β-cyclodextrin complexes enhanced curcumin solubility up to 2.34-fold compared to the inherent solubility, compared to a 2.95-fold increment in curcumin solubility when loaded in β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges. Interestingly, the stability constant for curcumin nanosponges was (4972.90 M-1), which was ten times higher than that for the β-cyclodextrin complex, where the value was 487.34 M-1. The study results indicated a decrease in the complexation efficiency and solubilization effect with the increased cross-linker amount. This study's findings showed the potential of using cyclodextrin-based nanosponge and the importance of studying the effect of cross-linking density for the preparation of β-cyclodextrin-based nanosponges to be used for pharmaceutical formulations.

Project description:Water-soluble cyclodextrin (CyD) complexed with porphyrin derivatives with different substituents in the meso-positions showed different photodynamic activities toward cancer cells under illumination at wavelengths over 600 nm, the most suitable wavelengths for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In particular, aniline- and phenol-substituted derivatives had high photodynamic activity because of the efficient intracellular uptake of the complexes by tumor cells. These complexes showed greater photodynamic activity than photofrin, currently the main drug in clinical use as a photosensitizer. These results represent a significant step toward the optimization of porphyrin derivatives as photosensitizers.

Project description:More than 50% of new drug candidates in drug discovery are lipophilic and exhibit poor aqueous solubility, which results in poor bioavailability and a lack of dose proportionality. Here, we improved the solubility of pedunculoside (PE) by generating a water-soluble inclusion complex composed of PE and the polymer β-cyclodextrin (CDP). We characterized this novel complex by 1H NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffractometry and thermogravimetric analysis. The ratio of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) units in CDP to PE was determined to be 2∶1. The KD value of the inclusion complex was determined to be 4.29×10(-3) mol•L(-1). In contrast to the low solubility of PE, the water-solubility of the PE-CDP complex was greatly enhanced. A preclinical toxicological study indicated that PE-CDP was well tolerated for a single administration. Importantly, the anti-inflammation potency of the PE-CDP complex was higher than that of PE. As a result, the formation of inclusion complexes by water-soluble CDP opens up possible aqueous applications of insoluble drug candidates in drug delivery.

Project description:The objective of the present study is to obtain linalool- cyclodextrin (CDs) solid complexes for possible applications in the food industry. For this purpose, a detailed study of linalool complexation was carried out at different pH values, to optimize the type of CDs and reaction medium that support the highest quantity of encapsulated linalool. Once demonstrated the ability of hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin (HP-?-CDs), to form inclusion complexes with linalool (KC = 921 ± 21 L mol-1) and given their greater complexation efficacy (6.788) at neutral pH, HP-?-CDs were selected to produce solid inclusion complexes by using two different energy sources, ultrasounds and microwave irradiation, subsequently spraying the solutions obtained in the Spray Dryer. To provide scientific solidity to the experimental results, the complexes obtained were characterized by using different instrumental techniques in order to confirm the inclusion of linalool in the HP-?-CDs hydrophobic cavity. The linalool solid complexes obtained were characterized by using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (ROSEY), differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Moreover, the structure of the complex obtained were also characterized by molecular modeling.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of double porphyrin cage compounds are described. They consist of two porphyrins that are each attached to a diphenylglycoluril-based clip molecule via four ethyleneoxy spacers, and are linked together by a single alkyl chain using "click"-chemistry. Following a newly developed multistep synthesis procedure we report three of these double porphyrin cages, linked by spacers of different lengths, i.e. 3, 5, and 11 carbon atoms. The structures of the double porphyrin cages were fully characterized by NMR, which revealed that they consist of mixtures of two diastereoisomers. Their zinc derivatives are capable of forming sandwich-like complexes with the ditopic ligand 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (dabco).

Project description:To understand the self-inclusion and the dissociation in a branched ?-cyclodextrin (CD) system, we designed and synthesized a ?-CD trimer in which each CD group is connected to one of bridging arms of a planar triphenylbenzene core through a CuAAC click reaction. Only one rather than two or all of the three host CDs was demonstrated to be in a self-including state in water, while no self-inclusion was observed to occur in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) via the characterization of 1H and NOESY NMR spectra. The configuration structures of the CD groups in the self-included state were evaluated, and the dissociation to free state in water was investigated under various conditions like heating, increased acidity, and discharging versus the addition of competitive guests. While raised temperature and increased acidity did not break the self-inclusion, two adamantane guest molecules were found to show capability in driving the equilibrium to get back to free state against the self-inclusion. The inclusion process of the added guests was believed to involve in the dissociation of the self-inclusion and the occupation of the guests in CD cavity. The results of host-guest interaction study indicated that the stable combination of guests was favorable for blocking the structural overturning of glucose toward trapping the bridging group into the cavity.

Project description:Glutathione (GSH)-coated gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) were synthesized in aqueous acidic medium. On deprotonation of the carboxyl groups of the GSH molecules under alkaline condition, the anionic ends react with the added cationic surfactant molecules to convert the Au NCs hydrophobic, resulting in loss of fluorescence due to apparent insolubility in water. The fluorescence is revived by adding cyclodextrins (CDs) that encapsulate the protruding hydrophobic tails of the surfactant molecules surrounding the GSH-coated Au NCs. While addition of β-CD showed maximum revival of the Au NC fluorescence, that by adding α-CD was lesser. Interestingly, on adding γ-CD, there was no increase in fluorescence of Au NCs at all. The size of CDs varies as γ- > β- > α-. It appears that the cavity size of the CD-hosts controls the fluorescence from the Au NCs abruptly, and the reason behind that was found to be formation of suprastructures, the shapes of which varied from spherical to cubic. The work shows the production of Au NC-grafted CD suprastructures that develop fluorescence on-off composites on the basis of their overall shapes.
