Cetirizine dihydrochloride (CTZ), an antihistamine, forms two 1:1 inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in aqueous solution as confirmed by detailed1H NMR, COSY and ROESY spectroscopic studies. The stoichiometry and overall binding constant of the complexes were determined by the treatment of1H NMR chemical shift change (Δδ) data. Most of the CTZ protons exhibited splitting in the presence of β-CD.

A major challenge in pharmaceuticals for clinical applications is to alter the solubility, stability, and toxicity of drug molecules in living systems. Cyclodextrins (CDs) have the ability to form host-guest inclusion complexes with pharmaceuticals for further development of new drug formulations. The inclusion complex of clomiphene citrate (CL), a poorly water-soluble drug, with native β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was characterized by a one and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic approach and also by molecular docking techniques. Here we report NMR and a computational approach in preferential isomeric selection of CL, which exists in two stereochemical isomers, enclomiphene citrate (ENC; E isomer) and zuclomiphene citrate (ZNC; Z isomer) with β-CD. β-CD cavity protons, namely, H-3' and H-5', experienced shielding in the presence of CL. The aromatic ring protons of the CL molecule were observed to be deshielded in the presence of β-CD. The stoichiometric ratio of the β-CD:CL inclusion complex was observed by NMR and found to be 1:1. The overall binding constant of β-CD:CL inclusion complexes was based on NMR chemical shifts and was calculated to be 50.21 M . The change in Gibb's free energy (∆G) was calculated to be -9.80 KJ mol . The orientation and structure of the β-CD:CL inclusion complexes are proposed on the basis of NMR and molecular docking studies. 2D H- H ROESY confirmed the involvement of all three aromatic rings of CL in the inclusion complexation with β-CD in the solution, confirming the multiple equilibria between β-CD and CL. Molecular docking and 2D H- H ROESY provide insight into the inclusion complexation of two isomers of CL into the β-CD cavity. A molecular docking technique further provided the different binding affinities of the E and Z isomers of CL with β-CD and confirmed the preference of the Z isomer binding for β-CD:CL inclusion complexes. The study indicates that the formation of a hydrogen bond between -O- of CL and the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group of β-CD was the main factor for noncovalent β-CD:CL inclusion complex formation and stabilization in the aqueous phase.

Recebido em 28/3/05; aceito em 14/10/05; publicado na web em 12/4/06 A detailed NMR ( 1 H , COSY, ROESY) spectroscopic study of complexation of enalapril maleate with β-cyclodextrin was carried out. The 1 H NMR spectrum of enalapril maleate confirmed the existence of cis-trans equilibrium in solution, possibly due to hindered rotation along the amide bond. The cis-trans ratio remained almost the same in the presence of β-cyclodextrin but in one case it was found significantly different which suggests a catalytic role of β-cyclodextrin in the isomerization. 1 H NMR titration studies confirmed the formation of an enalapril-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex as evidenced by chemical shift variations in the proton resonances of both the host and the guest. The stoichiometry of the complex was determined to be 2:1 (guest: host). The mode of penetration of the guest into the β-cyclodextrin cavity as well as the structure of the complex were established using ROESY spectroscopy.
