Inclusion complexes of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin with 2-hydroxypropyl-(-cyclodextrin: solubility and antimicrobial activity

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to improve the solubility and antimicrobial activity of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin by formulating its inclusion complexes with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in solution and in solid state. The phase solubility study was used to investigate the interactions between 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4hydroxycoumarin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and to estimate the molar ratio between them. The structural characterization of binary systems (prepared by physical mixing, kneading and solvent evaporation methods) was analysed using the FTIR-ATM spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin and inclusion complexes prepared by solvent evaporation method was tested by the diffusion and dilution methods on various strains of microorganisms. The results of phase solubility studies showed that 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin formed the inclusion complexes with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin of AP type. The solubility of 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin was increased 64.05-fold with 50% w/w of 2-hydroxypropyl-βcyclodextrin at 37 o C. The inclusion complexes in solid state, prepared by the solvent evaporation method, showed higher solubility in purified water and in phosphate buffer solutions in comparison with 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin alone. The inclusion complexes prepared by solvent evaporation method showed higher activity on Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus compared to uncomplexed 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4hydroxycoumarin due to improved aqueous solubility, thus increasing the amount of available 3-(3-(2-chlorophenyl)prop-2-enoyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin that crosses the bacterial membrane.

Application of Biomaterials in the Development of Hydrogel-Forming Microneedles Integrated with a Cyclodextrin Drug Reservoir for Improved Pharmacokinetic Profiles of Telmisartan

“…For the TEL-βCD complex, the calculated K s value was determined to be 34.226 × 10 3 M –1 , indicating a highly stable complex. A lower K s value suggests a weaker interaction between the drug and cyclodextrin molecules, leading to limited solubility improvement and premature release of the drug from the complex. , Additionally, the CE value was employed to assess drug solubility enhancement. CE values are a more reliable parameter as it is independent of the S 0 and intercept value.…”

“…A phase solubility study was conducted to evaluate the inclusion capability of βCD. This study was performed based on the method described in the previous studies. , βCD solutions with various concentrations (0–15 mM) were prepared. An excess amount of TEL was added to the solutions in a glass vial.…”
