Methods QURC-HP-β-CD inclusion complexes were prepared by the grinding method. The equilibrium inclusion constants and thermodynamic parameters were determinated by phase solubility analysis. Dissolution tests were performed to study the dissolution rate of inclusion complexes. The formation of inclusion complexes was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry ( DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR) , powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results The aqueous solubility of quercetin was greatly increased ( about 37 folds) by inclusion technique, and the initial dissolution rate was markedly improved (10 folds) in the first 5 min. The results of DSC and SEM photographs showed that quercetin crystal disappeared in inclusion complexes, which indicated the formation of new phase. FT-IR spectra showed that the carbonyl quercetin crystal grinding method. absorption band of quercetin was shifted. PXRD showed that the diffraction peak of disappeared. Conclusion QURC-HP-β-CD inclusion complexes are produced by the The solubility of quercetin is improved by the inclusion technique.展开更多

Methods The solubility of PGE1 under different pH conditions was determined. Then, the drug solubility in different concentrations of HP-β-CD acidic or pH neutral solutions was measured, respectively. Finally, a theoretical solubility equation for the drug as a function of HP-β-CD concentration and media pH was deduced and confirmed in experiment. Results PGEs was solubilized by HP-β-CD or by increasing media pH. The drug solubility as a function of HP-β-CD concentration was found to follow the AL-type complexation model in acidic or neutral pH media, suggesting that both the ionized and neutral drugs form 1:1 molecular ratio complexes. Conclusions The solubility of PGE1 may be improved by increasing media pH or by using HP-β-CD as a solubilizer. HP-β-CD and media pH can produce combined effect on the solubility of PGE1. The deduced equation for the drug solubility in this study effectively characterizes the roles of HP-β-CD and media pH in determining total solubility of the drug.展开更多

Excellent enantioseparation was achieved under the optimal conditions of pH of 2.5 and temperature of 5°C with a maximum enantioselectivity(a)of 2.38.Reactive extraction of enantiomers with hydrophilicβ-CD derivatives is of strong chiral separation ability and can be hopeful for separations of various enantiomers at a large-scale.展开更多

A reliable determination of the complex stoichiometry was provided by the continuous variation technique. Alcohol was added to further investigate the mechanism of the inclusion behavior. Thermodynamic constants AG, AH and AS for inclusion interaction of OBN and HP-β-CD were determined. The results show that host-guest complex with molar ratio of 1:1 is formed, and inclusion stability constant between OBN and HP-β-CD is 54.9 L/mol determined by ultraviolet spectrum and 11.1 L/mol determined by fluorescence spectrum. OBN has weak binding ability with HP-β-CD in aqueous solution (stability constant 〈102 L/mol) and addition of alcohol leads to a decrease of stability constant, which indicates that the hydrophobic force contributes to the inclusion process. AG, AH and AS are all less than zero, which indicates that the inclusion process is a spontaneous and exothermic process.展开更多

The fluorescence intensity of NR increased due to the formed inclusion complex of HP-β-CD and NR. But the fluorescence intensity of NR-HP-β-CD diminished when chlorobenzene was added, and there was a linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching value of the system (△IF = IF, NR-HP-β-CD - IF, CB-NB-NR-HP-β-CD) and the concentration of chlorobenzene. Based on this, a novel fluorescence quenching method for the determination of chlorobenzene with NR as a fluorescence probe has been developed. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of calibration curve for the determination of chlorobenzene was 5.0 × 10^-8 - 8.0 × 10^-6 mol/L and the detection limit was 1.0 × 10^-8 mol/L. It has been applied to determination ofchlorobenzene in synthetic waste water samples with satisfactory results.展开更多

The influence of different concentrations of 2-hydroxypropyl-β- eyclodextrin on the stability of dihydroartemisinin at 50, 60, 70 and 80 ℃ was also studied. Inclusion complex of dihydroartemisinin with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin effectively inhibited the hydrolysis of dihydroartemisinin and greatly increased its solubility. Furthermore, we showed that the higher concentrations of 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, the better stability and solubility of dihydroartemisinin. When the temperature was increased, the stability of dihydroartemisinin decreased. Our results indicated that 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin can be used as a stabilizer and solubilizer of dihydroartemisinin.展开更多

Therefore, reliable assessment methods need to be established. In this study, a composite extraction with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin(HPCD) and three low-molecular-weight organic acids, oxalic acid(OA), malic acid(MA), and citric acid(CA), was used to predict the PAH bioaccessibility to earthworms, subjecting to two soils(red soil and yellow soil) spiked with selected PAHs,phenanthrene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, and benzo(a)pyrene. For both soils,concentrations of PAHs by composite extraction using HPCD-OA(R^2= 0.89–0.92, slope = 1.89–2.03; n = 35), HPCD-MA(R^2=0.92–0.96, slope = 1.43–1.67; n = 35), and HPCD-CA(R^2= 0.92–0.96, slope = 1.26–1.56; n = 35) were significantly correlated with PAH accumulation in the Eisenia fetida earthworms. Moreover, the HPCD-CA-and HPCD-MA-extracted PAH concentrations were closer to the earthworm-accumulated PAH concentration than the extraction using just HPCD. The results indicated that the composite extraction could improve the prediction of PAH bioaccessibility, and therefore can serve as a reliable chemical method to predict PAH bioaccessibility to earthworms in contaminated soils.展开更多
