A new 1:1 molecular complex of triterpene glycoside ammonium glycyrrhizate (GC) with flavonoid glycoside rutin (Rut) was obtained in aqueous ethanol. The stability constant (9.7±0.2)×104 (mol/L)–1 was calculated for the complex via isomolar curves. The complexation was studied by UV- and ATR IR-Fourier spectroscopy and a method of isomolar series. The hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are formed in the molecular complex. A preliminary antioxidant activity assessment of the complex was made.
Quercetin (Quer) is one of the most famous flavonols 1 . Quer was founded in different plants. Quer has P-vitamin activity and exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antisclerotic, diuretic, and antitumor effects. 1,2 Previously, we have studied the molecular complex of Quer with triterpene glycoside glycyram (monoammonium salt of glycyrrhizic acid) 3 . Triterpene glycosides from licorice and ivy are one of the most affordable saponins. However, molecular complexes of Quer with ivy triterpene glycosides are not described. Triterpene glycoside hederasaponin C (hederacoside C, hederagenin 3-O-α-Lrhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-28-О-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-О-β-Dglucopyranosyl-(1→6)-О-β-D-glucopyranoside, HedC) was discovered in the most species of the ivy genus Hedera L. (Araliaceae), in which it is the dominant saponin.The Quer-HedC complex composition was determined by the method of isomolar series at 256 and 370 nm. This method gave a molar ratio ≈2.0, which corresponded to a 1 : 2 complex of Quer with HedC, respectively (in 2 : 8 mixture of 96 % EtOH and aqueous phosphate buffer with pH 7.2 (v/v)).The molecular complexation of Quer with HedC was studied by ATR FT-IR spectroscopy. It was shown that hydrogen bonds are formed between OH groups of complex components, and by C=O group of Quer and carbohydrate OH groups of HedC: (Н)О•••Н-О and С=ОQuer•••Н-ОHedC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
