In this work, we attempted to analyze thermochemical
properties
along with a spectroscopy approach to better understand the molecular
interactions between β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the pharmaceutical
compound isoproterenol hydrochloride (IPH) in an aqueous solution
at a range of temperatures starting from 293.15 to 313.15 K at an
atmospheric pressure P = 0.1 MPa. The volumetric
and rheological properties of IPH, such as apparent molar volume and
apparent molar isentropic compressibility, with their corresponding
limiting parameters in the variable compositions of β-cyclodextrin
(0.001, 0.005, and 0.010 mol·kg–1), were enumerated
at different temperatures using the measured density and speed of
sound measurements. Transfer parameters reveal dominant hydrophilic–hydrophilic
interactions in a ternary system. In addition to this, the sign of
points toward the structure-breaking characteristics
of IPH in the binary and ternary solutions. A proton NMR titration
experiment illustrated that IPH was incorporated into a hydrophobic
pocket of β-CD with a 1:1 stoichiometry which was confirmed
by Scott’s plot, and a binding energy of 22.5 M–1 was found for the IPH−β-CD complex.
