PVP only does not enhance the solubility of DHEA but a combination effect will manifeste once the substance is used concurrently with HPCD. In 5,59% HPCD solution, this solubility was enhanced by 115 times and in 5,59% HPCD solution adding 0,1% PVP it was enhanced by 139 times. There is a strict interaction between its components, different evidently from the physical mixed graphic

AIMTo establish a resolution method for alpha-cyclohexyl mandelic acid enantiomers by enantioselective extraction and to observe the effects of all kinds of tartaric esters, pH, the concentration of D-tartaric esters and beta-cyclodextrin on the enantioselectivity.

METHODSResolution of alpha-cyclohexyl mandelic acid enantiomers by enantioselective extraction with tartaric esters and beta-cyclodextrin has been studied.

RESULTSThe distribution behavior of alpha-cyclohexyl mandelic acid enantiomers in the separation system was studied. The effects of all kinds of tartaric esters, pH, the concentration of D-tartaric esters and beta-cyclodextrin on the enantioselectivity has been examined in the two-phase.

CONCLUSIONResults showed that the complex formed by D-iso-butyl-D-tartaric ester with R enantiomer is stabler than that with S enantiomer. With the increase of pH, the partition coefficient and separation factor decreased. The concentration of beta-cyclodextrin and D-tartaric ester had visible effect on the enantioselectivity.

OBJECTIVETo determine the major factors affecting the conversion efficiency of naringin-HP-beta-CD that was enzymed to prepare naringenin were determined and select the process condition with high conversion efficiency, stable and suitable for industrial production.

METHODThe dropping method was used to prepare naringin-HP-beta-CD, which was hydrolyzed by snailase to obtain naringenin. With the bioconversion rate as the index, the effects of pH value, temperature, reaction time, dosage of enzyme and concentration of naringin-HP-beta-CD on conversion rate of naringenin were detected for the purpose of optimizing the preparation condition. the conversion efficiency of naringin-HP-beta-CD was verified by scanning calorimetry, and the Hydrolysis product was identified by H-NMR, and 13C-NMR.

RESULTThe optimum enzymolysis of naringin-HP-beta-CD with snailase was 98.4% under the conditions of 37 degrees C, a pH 5.0 acetic acid- sodium acetate buffer solution for 12 hours. The substrate concentration was 30 g x L(-1) and the weight ratio of enzyme and substrate was 3: 5. Under the optimum enzymolysis condition, the conversion rate of naringin-HP-beta-CD was higher than naringin that was not entrapped with HP-beta-CD, with 272.25 reaction product relative molecules. The structure of naringenin was confirmed by the analysis of 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR.

CONCLUSIONNaringin which is entrapped with HP-beta-CD to prepare naringenin can significantly improve the conversion efficiency by shortening the reaction time, increasing the concentration of the substrate and reducing the amount of enzyme. Therefore, the process is stable and it was suitable for industrialization.

To prepare beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD)-deoxyrhaponti inclusion complex by the homogeneous method, and characterize the inclusion complex with ultraviolet-visible spectrum and fluorescence spectroscopy, in order to determine the inclusion rate, the ratio of subject-object, the binding constant of supra-molecular system and the thermodynamic function. The results showed that the designed method was so rational that the inclusion complex was successfully prepared. The ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry method was adoptedto determine the inclusion rate of 38%, and the ratio of subject-object of 2: 1. The thermodynamic parameters of this inclusion complex: deltaH(0), deltaS(0) was all smaller than zero, which indicated that the main acting forces generated by the inclusion complex were hydrogen bonding and Vander Waals' force. deltaG(0) < 0 and deltaG(0) were directly proportional to the reaction temperature, which suggested that the reaction would spontaneously increase with the temperature rise. The polarization fluorescence method was used to quantitatively prove the non-covalent inclusion complex generated during the interaction between beta-CD interacting with DES. The results could also provide reference for studies on cyclodextrin supra-molecular system.

The aim of this study was to improve the stability and cover the unpleasant odor of valerian oil by preparation of beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex. The preparation method was established based on the yield of inclusion complex and entrapment efficiency of valerian volatile oil. After that, the formulation and processing parameters were optimized by uniform design table. The formations of inclusion complex were validated by DSC and X-RD method. The stability of valerian oil beta-cyclodextrin inclusion was studied under stressed conditions. In conclusion, relatively high yield of inclusion complex and entrapment efficiency were obtained by saturated solution-ultrasonication method. Inclusion complex yield and entrapment efficiency of the valerian oil were (84.78 +/- 3.23)% and (86.23 +/- 2.48)%, which were prepared under the optimized conditions, respectively. The results of DSC and X-RD were indicated the formation of inclusion complex. The stability of test showed that the valerian oil-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex was improved significantly.

The supramolecular inclusion properties of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and resveratrol (Res) were investigated using drug-protein interaction spectroscopy method. The differences between the results of interaction spectroscopy method and the results of classical method were compared. The total energy of the stable inclusion of cyclodextrin-resveratrol was calculated by Gaussian theory calculation. The stable inclusions in the process of interaction between resveratrol/inclusion complex and bovine lactgoferrin (BLF) were studied by molecular modeling. The results showed that the interaction spectroscopy method could explain the property of the inclusion in a more sensitive manner, it also interpreted the conveying mechanism of BLF binding with inclusion complex. The molecular modeling result showed consistent results with Gaussian theory calculation; both of the two methods obtained the stable configuration of beta-CD-Res inclusion. The relevant result provided an experimental consequence for the pharmacology research of beta-cyclodextrin-resveratrol inclusion complex as well as offering a new reference to the future research of supramolecular inclusion compound.

Although the essential oil of Xiangfu Siwu decoction (XFSWD) has strong pharmacological activity, its special physical and chemical properties restrict the clinical application and curative effect. In this paper, Xiangfu Siwu decoction essential oil (XFS-WO) was prepared by forming inclusion complex with &beta;-cyclodextrin (&beta;-CD). The present study is to investigate the effect of &beta;-CD inclusion complex on the transport of major components of XFSWO using Caco-2 cell monolayer model, thus to research the effect of this formation on the absorption of drugs with low solubility and high permeability, which belong to class 2 in biopharmaceutics classification system. A sensitive and rapid UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for simultaneous quantification of senkyunolide A, 3-n-butylphthalide, Z-ligustilide, dehydrocostus lactone and α-cyperone, which are active compounds in XFSWO. The transport parameters were analyzed and compared in free oil and its &beta;-CD inclusion complex. The result revealed that the formation of XFSWO/&beta;-CD inclusion complex has significantly increased the transportation and absorption of major active ingredients than free oil. Accordingly, it can be speculated that cyclodextrin inclusion complex can improve bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Above all these mentioned researches, it provided foundation and basis for physiological disposition and pharmaceutical study of XFSWD.
