“…The particles obtained from the SEM image of the J-βCD3-4 inclusion complex exhibit smaller and finer dimensions, forming a layered structure. The findings are consistent with previous research [52,55]. Rajamohan et al noted significant alterations in surface morphology only in comparison to ensulizole and cyclodextrins during the formation of inclusion complexes [56].…”

Juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone), a natural antifungal and antibacterial agent derived from walnut trees, possesses significant therapeutic potential limited by its low water solubility and instability in varying pH and temperature conditions This study aims to address these limitations by enhancing juglone’s solubility, stability, and antimicrobial efficacy through the formation of inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Employing methods such as co-precipitation, freeze-drying, and solvent evaporation, we synthesized these complexes and confirmed their formation using UV–vis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The obtained optimum complex was characterized using SEM to reveal its structural properties, while NMR analysis showed significant chemical shift changes, indicative of complex formation between juglone and β-CD; additionally, XRD analysis confirmed the amorphous nature of the J-β-CD3-4 inclusion complex, providing direct evidence for its formation. Our findings reveal a notable enhancement in the pH and thermal stability of juglone within the β-CD inclusion complex, in comparison to its free form. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of the juglone-β-CD complex surpassed that of juglone alone. The increased water solubility of juglone in the inclusion complex contributed to its enhanced antimicrobial activity. The inhibition zone diameters of J-β-CD3-4 inclusion complex against E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans were 7, 22, and 8.5 mm, respectively, relatively higher than juglone. Remarkably, in the broth microdluation method, the MIC and MBC values of the inclusion complex were determined to be much lower than those of free juglone, a significant fourfold decrease for S. aureus, and C. albicans and twofold for E. coli. These results underscore the potential of juglone-β-CD complexation in extending the applicability of juglone, especially in sectors such as food preservation, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, where enhanced stability and efficacy of natural antimicrobial agents are crucial.
