Interaction Mode between Inclusion Complex of Vitamin K3 with γ- Cyclodextrin and Herring-Sperm DNA

ABSTRACT Methods including spectroscopy, electronic chemistry and thermodynamics were used to study the inclusion effect between γ-cyclodextrin (CD) and vitamin K3(K3), as well as the interaction mode between herring-sperm DNA (hsDNA) and γ-CD-K3 inclusion complex. The results from ultraviolet spectroscopic method indicated that VK3 and γ-CD formed 1:1 inclusion complex, with the inclusion constant Kf = 1.02 × 104 L/mol, which is based on Benesi–Hildebrand's viewpoint. The outcomes from the probe method and Scatchard methods suggested that the interaction mode between γ-CD-K3 and DNA was a mixture mode, which included intercalation and electrostatic binding effects. The binding constants were K θ25°C = 2.16 × 104 L/mol, and Kθ37°C = 1.06 × 104 L/mol. The thermodynamic functions of the interaction between γ-CD-K3 and DNA were ΔrHmθ = −2.74 × 104 J/mol, ΔrSmθ = 174.74 J·mol−1K−1, therefore, both ΔrHmθ (enthalpy) and ΔrSmθ (entropy) worked as driven forces in this action.
