Inclusion of artesunate in the cavity of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as well as its methyl and hydroxypropyl derivatives was investigated experimentally and by molecular modeling studies. The effect of PEG on the inclusion was also studied. A 1:1 stoichiometry was indicated by phase-solubility studies both in the presence and absence of PEG and suggested by the mass spectrometry. The mode of inclusion was supported by 2D NMR and results were further verified by docking studies utilizing Fast Rigid Exhaustive Docking acronym. The thermodynamic parameters were determined for both binary and ternary systems using solution calorimetry and were found to be best for the methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me-β-CD) system. However, the presence of PEG improves the complexation ability as evident from elevation in the numerical value of the stability constant (K). Solubility and dissolution profile of binary complex is enhanced in the presence of PEG, which is approximately at par with drug Me-β-CD complexes. In vivo studies showed 100% survivability in artesunate–Me-β-CD complexes.
通过实验和分子模型研究了青蒿琥酯在β-环糊精(β-CD)及其甲基和羟丙基衍生物中的包合。研究了聚乙二醇对包合物的影响。在存在和不存在PEG的情况下,通过相溶解度研究和质谱分析,表明了1:1的化学计量。包含模式得到了二维核磁共振的支持,并通过快速刚性穷举对接研究进一步验证了结果。用溶液量热法测定了二元和三元体系的热力学参数,发现甲基β-环糊精(Me-β-CD)体系的热力学参数最好。然而,PEG的存在提高了络合能力,这从稳定性常数(K)的数值升高可以看出。PEG的存在增强了二元配合物的溶解度和溶解谱,其与药物Me-β-CD配合物大致相当。体内研究表明,青蒿琥酯- me -β-CD复合物的存活率为100%。
