Ternary naproxen: beta-cyclodextrin:polyethylene glycol complex formation.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water-soluble polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG)-MW=35000 g/mol-on the complexation of the phototoxic anti-inflammatory drug naproxen, in its sodium salt form, with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD). The data revealed that the polymer does not interact with the uncomplexed naproxen whereas it does with the beta-CD. The presence of different proportions of PEG, in the 0-1% (w/w) range, systematically lowers K(app) of the formation of the naproxen:beta-CD inclusion complex. The reason for the decrease in the complexed drug is the presence of other competing equilibria, the first one is an interaction of the polymer with the beta-CD, which in turn reduces the amount of free CD available for including the naproxen, and the second is the formation of a naproxen:beta-CD:PEG ternary complex with lower affinity than the binary complex. The binding constant of these processes are K(2)=(4.5+/-1.0) x 10(5) M(-1) and K(3)=870+/-19 M(-1), respectively. In addition the presence of the PEG produces an important change in the driving force of the complex formation. In this case the process is enthalpically unfavoured and entropically favoured; these are typical characteristics of processes governed by hydrophobic interactions.

Capillary electrophoresis of the mycotoxin zearalenone using cyclodextrin-enhanced fluorescence.

Certain of the cyclodextrins are capable of significantly enhancing the native fluorescence of the estrogenic mycotoxin zearalenone (ZEN). Twenty-two cyclodextrins (CDs) were screened for their ability to enhance the fluorescence of ZEN in a capillary electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CE-LIF) format. Of the CDs that were examined heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-CD gave the greatest enhancement. The heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-CD was applied to the development of a CE-LIF method for detection of ZEN in maize. The resulting method was capable of detecting ZEN with a limit of quantitation of 5 ng/g maize. Recoveries of ZEN from maize spiked over the range from 5 ng/g to 500 ng/g averaged 103.1+/-8.5% (n=20). The CE-LIF method will be useful for future studies of ZEN in maize.

Evaluation of chiral ionic liquids as additives to cyclodextrins for enantiomeric separations by capillary electrophoresis.

A great interest has been drawn these last years towards ionic liquids in analytical chemistry, especially for separation methods. Recent synthesis of chiral ILs opened the way of the evaluation of new potential selectors for enantiomeric separations. This work focused on the evaluation of two chiral ILs (ethyl- and phenylcholine of bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide) by CE. Particular selectivities are awaited by exploiting unique ion-ion or ion-dipole interactions and by tailoring the nature of the cation and the anion. To evaluate such phenomena, a study was carried out with anti-inflammatory drugs 2-arylpropionic acids as model compounds. The results show that these chiral ILs did not present direct enantioselectivity with regard to these model analytes. The influence of chiral ILs in the electrolytes was then studied in the presence of classical chiral selectors (di- or trimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin). Although no general trend could be established, an increase in separation selectivity and resolution was observed in some cases, suggesting synergistic effects. The complementary determination of apparent inclusion constant values of these IL cations in the used cyclodextrins by affinity CE provided support to the understanding of the phenomena involved.

Enantiodifferentiation of N-benzyloxycarbonylaminophosphonic and phosphinic acids and their esters using cyclodextrins by means of capillary electrophoresis.

Capillary electrophoresis was successfully applied for separation of the enantiomers of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-alpha-aminophosphonic and alpha-aminophosphinic acids as well as their ethyl and phenyl monoesters with the use of a range of commercially available cyclodextrins (alpha, beta and hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrins) as chiral selectors. The dependence of effectiveness of separation on type and concentration of these chiral selectors as well as on pH of background electrolyte was examined in some detail.
