Full textOver recent years, molecular machines have been widely developed, yet mastering unidirectional movement in these nano-entities remains challenging. This thesis focuses on harnessing the inherent asymmetry of cyclodextrin (CD) to design molecular machines that are able to perform unidirectional motion. A range of [2]rotaxanes, incorporating methylated α-CD, either amine-functionalized at the primary rim or permethylated was synthesized.In the first part, an information ratchet system was discovered on a permethylated α-CD [2]rotaxane. The kinetics of the Fmoc protection of the axle are influenced by the CD's orientation and position. These findings suggest that the asymmetric conical shape of the macrocycle establishes a unique information ratchet mechanism, paving the way for the design of next-generation molecular motors.In the second part, the introduction of a dimethylamine function on the primary rim of the CD of the [2]rotaxane was carried out. This modification aims to catalyze the intramolecular deprotection of the Fmoc group faces to the primary rim of the CD. This hypothesis was optimized on a model [2]rotaxane system. A unidirectional movement through a cyclic process of protection and deprotection of the Fmoc appears feasible. These results highlight the potential of building molecular motors with functionalized CDs

Full textThe aim of this thesis was to prepare crystalline inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins (CDs), as hosts, and drugs, as guests, characterise them using various methods and attempt to elucidate their structures by X-ray diffraction methods to establish the detailed mode of drug inclusion in the solid state. Cyclodextrins and their derivatives have a low polarity central void formed by linked glucose residues of varying numbers. This annular cavity is able to encapsualte low molecular weight molecules and is therefore responsible for the great interest in CDs in host-guest chemistry. In addition, inclusion of drug molecules in cyclodextrins can significantly improve aspects of their performance, such as increased aqueous solubility and dissolution rates which lead to their increasing application in the pharmaceutical industry.

Full textBackground: Zidovudine (AZT) is a very useful drug for the management of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Its optimal use is limited by its bitter taste, sparing solubility (20.1 mg/ml) and acid lability. Cyclodextrins (CD) are a class of compounds which can be used to form inclusion complexes with drugs such as AZT to improve it is taste, solubility and palatability. Purpose: This study complexed hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) with AZT. The formulated inclusion complex was evaluated for suitability as a dosage form and as a tool for improving AZT’s palatability, solubility and acid liability. Method: AZT was complexed with HPβCD using the lyophilisation method. The binding constant for the formulation was determined by the phase solubility method, and complex formation between AZT and HPβCD evaluated using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and hot stage microscopy (HSM). Tablets of the inclusion complex were formulated by direct compression, using the least possible amount of excipients, and the dosage form evaluated for hardness, friability, durability, disintegration time and dissolution. Results: The binding constant of the formulation was 3.919, and the degree of incorporation was 4.0 mg AZT/g of CD per complex. 1H NMR showed significant chemical shifts between the inclusion complex and AZT. DSC and TGA analyses showed significant differences in the curves for the pure AZT and HPβCD. Values for tablet hardness, friability, durability and disintegration time were 236 ± 20 N, 0.7 %, 1.02 % and 10.25 minutes, respectively. The solubility of the formulation was 148.08 mg/ml, and its dissolution profile was different from that of the branded formulation. Conclusions: AZT-HPβCD inclusion complex, with a 7.4-fold increase in AZT solubility, was successfully prepared using the lyophilisation method. The binding constant and friability of the formulation were within acceptable limits. Although the hardness value is high, the tablet still disintegrated within acceptable specified times. This study has significant implications for anti-retroviral complex formulations.

Full textThe use of mononuclear confined metals inside discrete molecular pockets was proved to be a powerful tool in the confined catalysis field. Due to the conical shape of cyclodextrins (CD), these macrocycles are perfect candidates for the synthesis and applications of confined metals. In this work, the synthesis of NHC-capped cyclodextrins (ICyD) complexing metal centers inside the cavity was studied. The discussion starts with the synthesis and characterization of Au(I)-derivatives inside the y-ICyD cavity. During the synthesis, the formation of the square planar complex, (y-ICyD)AuCl3, was observed. This unexpected product led to the synthesis Au(III), Pd(II) and Pt(0) complexes in ⍺-, β- and y- CDs. Supported by the effects of the weak interactions on the intra-cavity protons in the NMR, the 3D structures of the complexes were modeled. The electrochemical properties of the Au(I) and Pd(II) complexes were studied by cyclic voltammetry, being the first non-silent complexes inside a CD cavity. The catalytic applications of the CD-based complexes were also studied. The chiral ICyD skeleton was proved to be an efficient ligand in an enantioselective Au-catalyzed enyne cycloisomerization. The introverted (β-ICyD)Pd complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for a selective monoarylation of amines, as well as, size-selective catalysts in a homoallylation of aromatic aldehydes

Full textBiological macromolecules and their assemblies (such as enzymes or viruses) perform extremely complex functions, thanks to their structural control. Our aim is to mimic such elaborated tools and build synthetic hierarchical assemblies using building blocks of cyclodextrin (CD). Using the known DIBAL-H reactivity for polyfonctionalization of CDs several monomers were prepared containing host-guest and electrostatic interactions. Thus, we demonstrated that a competitive self-inclusion and head to head dimerization prevent the formation of larger species in solution. To overcome this problem, a bridging strategy was used to cap the CD monomer and attach the two functionalized sugar units. This led to two types of building blocks (mono- and di-substituted) that showed different beahaviour. The monosubstituted compounds formed supramolecular oligomers in solution while disubstituted ones led to a hierarchical supramolecular self-assembly in the solid-state. Furthermore, efficient DNA compaction was performed involving hydrophobic interaction as a result of the use of monosubstituted positively charged CD building blocks. On the other hand, a single stranded DNA was used to control the size of CD-based supramolecular polymers. For this purpose, a CD monomer containing a hydrophobic moiety and a trinucleotide was developed. The host-guest and base pair interaction synergy allowed the formation of a stable DNA pseudo-duplex

Full textThis work is aimed at the design and characterisation of a new family of tethered ligands, called sliding tethered ligands (STLs). They are based on topological complexes between polymers and amphiphilic cyclodextrins (CDs), which can be inserted into phospholipid membranes. At first we investigate the membrane insertion properties of amphiphilic cholesteryl CD derivatives, which are suitable membrane anchors for the STLs. With the help of neutron reflectivity it can be demonstrated that the CD residues show a remarkable conformational adaptability and that the CD cavities remain accessible upon insertion into lipid model membranes. We have developed a synthetic pathway to assemble the STLs from polyrotaxanes with a controlled low number of mono-modified azido-alpha-CDs, threaded on a polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain. Using newly developed in-situ capping methods the polyrotaxanes are endcapped with adamantane ligands, which can be recognized by a beta-CD receptor. Furthermore a cholesteryl anchor is attached to the threaded CDs in order to enable the STLs to insert into membranes. We demonstrate that STLs readily insert into phospholipid (DPPC) model membranes using IR Absorption Reflection Spectroscopy and investigating the film morphology by Brewster Angle Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy. Applying neutron reflectivity it is shown, that for sufficiently high polymer densities the STLs form polymer brushes, which follow the scaling laws predicted by the mean field theory. Using the surface force apparatus it is evidenced that model membranes modified with STLs and cholesteryl beta-CD receptors give rise to typical tethered ligand - receptor interaction profiles

Full textCyclodextrin (CD)-NHC-Metal complexes (NHC=N-Heterocyclic Carbene), including the AgI, CuI and AuI complexes were synthesized. A structural study showed that the metal was inside the cavity, and induced by C-H…M, C-H…X and π…X interactions. Variations on α-, β-, γ-CD cavities and NHC derivatives (midazole, benzimidazole, triazole) were studied. When the size of the cavity increased, these interactions decreased. Furthermore, stronger σ-donating effects lead to stronger interactions. CD-Cu complexes showed good activity in catalytic hydroboration of alkynes. The selectivity is depending on the size of the cavity of the catalyst. α-CD copper complex gives linear hydroboration products, while β-CD copper complex yields the branched isomers. The CD-Cu species potentially involved in the catalytic cycle were studied, two different mechanisms were thus proposed. In the α-CD-Cu complex catalyzed reactions, the catalytic process takes place outside the cavity; while a bigger cavity β-CD permits the catalysis to take place inside the cavity. Furthermore, the gold complexes also show different enantioselectivity and regioselectivity in cycloisomerization using different cavity-based catalysts. Catalytic results evidenced the selectivity of a catalytic reaction is dependent on the cavity of the CD-NHC-metal complexes

Full textIn this work, we report in first part the detailed study of the interaction of rhenium cluster complexes [{Re6Q8}(H2O)6]2+ and [{Re6Q8}(CN)6]4–/3– (Q = S, Se, Te) with cyclodextrins (α, β and γ). Upon dissolving the reagents in water and then evaporating the solution or diffusion of ethanol vapors into the solution, crystalline products were obtained which crystallized as fragments without the formation of host-guest compounds (α-CD and Q = Se, Te ) or inclusion compounds with weak interactions with the primary or secondary face of CD (β-CD and all complexes, γ-CD / α-CD and Q = S), or very tightly coupled inclusion compounds involving the secondary face of CD (γ- CD and Q = Se, Te), which was confirmed by XRD. Moreover, similar behavior was found in aqueous solutions using a wide range of methods such as NMR spectroscopy (both from the host and the guest side), ITC, mass spectrometry, etc. Also, it was demonstrated that the inclusion cyclodextrins strongly affects the properties of cluster complexes, especially redox and luminescent. All data obtained by solution methods lead to the identification of two main factors of interaction with the CD, namely: (1) size-matching of host and guest, (2) the chaotropic nature of the guest. The chaotropic effect (the water structure breaking) of the complexes makes a significant contribution to the formation of inclusion compounds, however, when size-matching is additionally observed, the interaction becomes even stronger. The chaotropic effect was also confirmed by studying two complexes with different charges. Thus, an increase in the chaotropic effect without changing the size of the complex led to an increase in the binding constants with γ-CD by approximately 1000 times.In the second part, we have demonstrated that the inclusion compounds of rhenium cluster complexes with cyclodextrin can be combined with other functional inorganic compounds - polyoxometalates. In such three-component systems, cyclodextrin plays the role of a binding agent. In the case of a logical combination of oppositely charged cationic cluster complexes and a Dawson-type anion, the system is mainly formed due to the strong bond between the POM and the CD, since cluster interacts very weakly with CD. On the other hand, ions of the same charge (anionic cluster and anionic POM) can also form three-component systems, which are mainly based on inclusion of cluster into CD. Moreover, inclusion compounds can participate in the formation of nanoscale supramolecular ensembles with a nano-wheel {Mo154}, which exist both in solid state and in aqueous solution.In the last part, it was demonstrated that, using the supramolecular approach, it is possible to stabilize molybdenum and tungsten cluster complexes with low hydrolytic stability in aqueous solutions. For the first time, water-soluble Na2[{M6X8}Cl6] complexes (M = Mo, W, X = Br, I) were obtained and the kinetics of substitution of terminal ligands in water was studied in detail. Adding γ-CD to the system leads to the formation of strong inclusion compounds in a 1:2 ratio with the participation of the secondary face of cyclodextrin. Moreover, inclusion in γ-CD significantly reduces the rate of substitution of terminal ligands and allows us to obtain solutions that are stable for at least several months. The obtained compounds possess the best photophysical characteristics of luminescence in aqueous solutions among molybdenum and tungsten cluster complexes. Also, inclusion in the CD allowed us to study for the first time the redox properties of complexes in water. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that such systems have the lowest cytotoxicity, which makes them promising for further studies for use in biology and medicine

Full textPhytochemicals are widely distributed secondary metabolites, divided into three major classes : terpenoids, flavonoids and alkaloids. They are shown to possess important biological properties such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Therefore, increasing the use of these bioactive molecules in food products may reduce the risk of widespread diseases referred to as "diseases of civilization". However, their low solubility, susceptibility to degradation and their rapid release reduce their bioavailability in the human body and thus their biological effect. To solve the aforementioned physicochemical drawbacks, encapsulation systems were developed to allow the incorporation of phytochemicals in food. In this study, two food ingredients : the sesquiterpene nerolidol and the flavonol quercetin were selected du to their potent biological activities but their problematic physicochemical properties.Therfore, the aim of this work was to encapsulate these molecules into cyclodextrins (CDs), conventional liposomes (CLs) and the double systeme drug-in-cyclodextrin-in-liposomes (DCLs), in order to develop nztural and biocompatible formulations that may find applications in food fields. This project was built around three main research axes. The first part dealt with the preparation and the characterization of CD/guest inclusion complexes both in solution and in solid state. Characterizations were performed with UV-visible spectroscopy, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Total Oragnic Carbon (TOC), ¹H NMR, 2D ROESY NMR, and molecular modeling. These investigations were complemented with phase solubility studies.The second axis addressed the preparation of CLs ans DCLs by ethanol injection method and characterization of the vesicles. CLs encapsulating quercetin were prepared from three different types of phospholipids (Lipoid E80, Lipoid S100, Phospholipon 90H) in order to study the effect of lipid composition on the characteristics of liposomes. The optimal formulation was then selected to prepare nerolidol loaded-CLs and DCLs encapsulating the two compounds. HP-β-CD/Ner (at different CD:Ner molar ratios) and SBE-β-CD/Quer inclusion complexes were used as the aqueous phase in the DCL system. The last part focused on the effect of encapsulation on the physicochemical properties of nerolidol and quercetin (in vitro release, photostability, stability in gastro-intestinal fluids, storage stability) and their antioxidant activities. Results demonstrated that CDs could successfully encapsulate bioactive compounds, enhance their solubility , photostability and antioxidant activity. Furthermore, Lipoid E80-liposomes were nanometric in size, exhibited a high entrapment efficiency and higher stability in comparison to the other formulations. Moreover, CD:guest molar ratio influenced the size of DCLs and their encapsulation efficiency. When compared to CLs, DCLs extended the release of neridol, enhanced the photostability of both compounds ans increased the stability of quercetin in biological fluids. These results could be considered as a promising tool to achieve an optimized and efficient formulation incorporating nerolidol and quercetin in food industry

Full textMolecular systems with nanometer-sized dimensions are involved in a wide variety of processes and biological functions. Understanding the mechanisms controlling their multi-lengthscale structure presents a major interest. For instance, despite this challenge, there is so far no reliable synthetic system forming well-defined tunable fibrillar objects with a monodisperse diameter in aqueous solution. The aim of this work is to develop a tool box of di-functionalized cyclodextrins (CDs) specifically designed to self-assemble into supramolecular rods that could then reach higher levels of hierarchy via interactions mediated by the secondary functionalization. The study of the first level of association of these compounds by viscosimetry, ITC and SANS showed that the use of bridged CDs allows the polymerization by suppressing the self-inclusion phenomenon. As a result, we developed two tunable cationic supramolecular polymers (SMP) based on functionalized β-CD with relatively high polymerization degrees. Their ability to form hierarchical SMP with rigid polyanionic species was then assessed by DLS, spectroscopy and cryo-TEM. In optimized concentration and charge ratio conditions, three different water-soluble hierarchical assemblies were formed. We showed that the first level of association and the high directionality of the secondary interactions are key parameters to achieve these stable, well-defined, hierarchical assemblies. These tunable structures will be therefore used as a platform to get greater insight into hierarchical assembling processes

Full textGene therapy is a crucial scientific field we must further develop, and the Covid-19 crisis only confirmed it. Viruses are known to be highly effective genetic material vectors. Among them, the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) whose coat proteins can self-assemble in a cooperative hierarchical co-assembly with RNA, inspired our group to design a synthetic artificial virus based on cyclodextrins (CDs). Our group synthesized a cationic adamantyl-functionalized CD (CD 1) where the adamantyl is borne by an ammonium bridge and demonstrated its ability to self-assemble into a supramolecular polymer. They we showed that CD 1 could induce transfection of siRNA.[1] To understand its mode of assembly, we studied the CD 1/DNA mixture by Cryo-EM. To our surprise and delight, we found that very long thin fibers were formed. We further proved that they contain many copies of double stranded DNA 18-mer, which are surrounded by self-assembled CD 1, a structure highly reminiscent of TMV. In this work, we also proved that identical architectures are observed with different sizes of single and double stranded DNA. However, we proved that with single stranded DNA, the fibers take longer to build, and we discovered and followed its mechanism of assembly by cryo-EM. Moreover, we studied different parameters in terms of pH, CD/DNA ratios, buffers, concentrations and we have optimized our system and learnt more about the behavior of our assemblies. Amazingly, a slight change of structure of CD 1 into CD 2, where the adamantyl group is positioned in the center of the cavity induces a drastic modification of the co-assembly architecture: tubes were obtained instead of fibers. Besides, we found out that the construction of those tubes follows a multi-steps pathway that have been elucidated by cryo-EM kinetics experiments. We also showed that same tubes can be formed with ssDNA or dsDNA and with different size of DNAs. We then developed a series of analogues of CD 1 and CD 2, tuning their lipophilicity and self-assembling properties. We evaluated the capacity of CD 1 and CD 2 and their analogues to transfect mRNA in vitro. Unfortunately, no transfection was observed. Because of the lack of mRNA transfection efficiency with these CDs, we designed a new generation of self-assembling CDs and proved that some of them, indeed, transfect mRNA into cells. We also proved that CDs which cannot self-assemble are not able to deliver mRNA and that we need cooperativity between the CDs' hydrophobic interactions, allowing the supramolecular oligomers formation, and the electrostatic interactions between the CDs and the mRNA to transfect. Finally, we started to synthetize analogues of this hit to improve transfection efficiency and cell viability and got promising results.

Full textOver the last few decades, ophthalmic administration has become a preferred route for molecules for local action. The safety, efficacy and acceptability of these drugs require a sterile and easily applicable formulation for improved patient compliance. The objective of this work was to develop an effective, easily applicable topical ophthalmic form containing a drug of interest. Studies of the encapsulation of API in polymer particles for protection show the difficulty of formulating vectors with a water-soluble API. The instability of the drug in aqueous solution has been demonstrated in stability studies and guided galenic choice to semi-solid preparations. The absence, or small amount of water, improves the stability of the API. The association of cyclodextrins in the formulation shows a marked stabilization of the drug in semi-solid preparations. Characterization studies of these forms demonstrate the stability of the drug in a hydrophobic ointment and in an emulsion in the presence of cyclodextrin. Moreover, microbiological tests demonstrate the advantage of using an emulsion in the efficacy of the pharmaceutical form against Staphylococcus aureus. The ophthalmic forms developed are major interest in the treatment of localized eye infections in place of the therapeutics currently on the market

Full textThis PhD work is based on the development of new architectures of polysaccharide-based host and guest polymers and their application in the design of hierarchically structured soft nanoparticles and supramolecular hydrogels with interesting drug delivery profiles. In the first section of the manuscript we describe a synthetic pathway to host and guest polymers with hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) PEG spacer between the dextran backbone and either b-cyclodextrin (bCD) host or adamantane (Ada) guest grafted groups. The presence of the PEG spacer led to a substantial improvement of the availability of Ada groups of the guest polymer as compared to its counterpart, where Ada are linked to the backbone with a short hydrophobic spacer. This was followed by the study of nanoassemblies formation between the different types of host and guest polymers. Once again, PEG spacer had a significant impact on the size and internal structure of the resulting nanoassemblies. The second part of this work describes synthesis of a series of new (PEG, Ada)-grafted dextrans prepared by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). The degrees of substitution (DS) by PEG grafts (5000 g/mole) are close to 20 mol% while the DS by Ada-groups are varied from 0 to 10 mol.%. The affinity of these polymers to monomeric bCD, as well as their ability to form superficial layers with b-cyclodextrin polymers (pbCD, pbCDN+), are strongly dependent on the DS by Ada, giving an indication of cooperativity effects between them. In the last part we described a strategy to a non-covalent modification of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based microgels with a pbCDN+ host polymer shell. It uses on electrostatic self-assembly between pbCDN+ and negatively charged poly(acrylic acid) (pAAc) chains grafted to the surface of microgels. The resulting pNIPAm/bCDN microgels with neutral overall charge could be colloidally stabilized with (PEG, Ada)-grafted dextrans via a hierarchical self-assembly procedure. Finally, using Ada-modified dextrans (DT-Ada), pNIPAm/bCDN microgels could be physically cross-linked to yield hierarchical 3D hydrogels (at 10 wt%). Their gel-sol transition temperature is shifted down to the physiological temperature range (37-41°C) as compared to uniform pbCDN/DT-Ada host-guest hydrogels (51°C

Ambdues metodologies són ben conegudes dins el camp de la Modelització Molecular; no obstant això, la principal contribució aportada per aquest treball és el desenvolupament d'eines metodològiques millorades -descriptors moleculars adequats, anàlisi de saturació de conformacions i grau de solapament de trajectòries- per mesurar quantitativament l'evolució i convergència dels càlculs SA i MD.
No es difícil encontrar ejemplos que muestren la incuestionable importacia de la estereoquímica en temas como la salud o la economía: Por una parte, la quiralidad es tristemente bien conocida debido al desastre de la Talidomida. Por otra parte, encontramos recientemente otro ejemplo no menos importante dentro del campo de las conformaciones de macromoléculas: La Enfermedad de Creutzfeld-Jacob. Por ello, creemos que es relevante examinar más detenidamente aquellos temas relacionados con los estudios conformacionales.
En la presente Tesis Doctoral se propone un proceso en 2 etapas para estudiar espacios conformacionales de macromoléculas mediante Simulated Annealing (SA) y Dinámica Molecular (DM). Ambas metodologías son bien conocidas dentro del campo de la Modelización Molecular; sin embargo la principal contribución aportada por este trabajo es el desarrollo de herramientas metodológicas mejoradas -descriptores moleculares adecuados, análisis de saturación de conformaciones y grado de solapamiento de trayectorias- para medir cuantitativamente la evolución y convergencia de los cálculos SA y MD.
It is not difficult to find examples that show the unquestionable importance of stereochemistry in human life and economy: On the one hand, chirality is unfortunately the most well known one due to the Thalidomide Disaster. On the other hand, there is a no less important example in recent years in the field of molecular conformations: the Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. In this sense, we think that it is worth paying more attention to conformational studies due to their indisputable relevance.
A 2-stage process for studying Conformational Spaces of large macromolecules involving Simulated Annealing (SA) Conformational Search followed by series of Molecular Dynamics (MD) calculations is proposed in this PhD Thesis. Both methodologies are well-known ones in the Molecular Modelling area of knowledge; nevertheless, the main contribution made by this research work is the development of enhanced methodological techniques -suitable molecular descriptors, saturation analysis and trajectory overlapping ratio- for monitoring quantitatively how SA and MD calculations evolve.

Full textInclusion of drug molecules in cyclodextrins can significantly improve various aspects of their performance and has resulted in the use of cyclodextrins (CDs) for a wide variety of pharmaceutical applications. Consequently, the cyclodextrin inclusion of drugs has received great interest in the pharmaceutical and chemical fields. For this study the inclusion of nine pharmaceutical drugs with CDs was investigated in the solid state. The objectives of the study were i.) the preparation, ii.) determination of the chemical composition, iii.) analysis of thermal behaviour and iv.) investigation of the solid state features of the complexes. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry, elemental analysis and thermogravimetric analysis were the principal techniques used for determination of composition. Hot stage microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis were the principal techniques used for the analysis of thermal behaviour. Single crystal x-ray diffraction and x-ray powder diffraction were the principal techniques used for investigation of structural features. This thesis reports the preparation by crystallisation from solution of eight beta cyclodextrin (β-CD) and four gamma cyclodextrin (γ-CD) inclusion complexes with selected drugs as guests, as well as the determination of their chemical compositions and analysis of their thermal behaviours. Investigation of the structural features of these complexes includes the determination of the crystal structures of five β-CD complexes and one γ-CD complex. The preparation of hydnoxypropyl-β-CD complexes by kneading and co-grinding is also reported.

Full textA inclusão em ciclodextrinas (CDs) de hóspedes multi-componente, tais como óleos essenciais e extratos de plantas, é um tema atual e útil para uma série de aplicações nas indústrias alimentar, cosmética e farmacêutica. No presente trabalho foram estudados dois destes sistemas, tendo por hóspedes o óleo essencial de Cistus ladanifer e uma mistura de gingerois extraídos de rizoma fresco de gengibre. A composição do óleo essencial de C. ladanifer foi estudada por GC-MS, tendo-se identificado 94,3% dos seus componentes e determinado a massa molecular aproximada em 143,7 g.mol-1. O óleo foi usado para formar complexos de inclusão com as ciclodextrinas beta e gama. A identificação dos componentes do óleo incluídos preferencialmente em cada CD foi feita por extração com clorofórmio e análise por GC-MS, tendo-se observado inclusão preferencial de compostos de maior peso molecular na ciclodextrina beta, enquanto a ciclodextrina gama incluiu compostos de menor peso molecular. Os complexos de inclusão foram analisados no estado sólido por espectroscopia de infravermelho (FTIR), {1H} 13C CP-MAS RMN e difração de raios X de pós (PXRD), postulando-se empacotamento em canal para ambos os complexos. A mistura de gingerois, obtida a partir de gengibre fresco por maceração em acetona e purificação em coluna, foi analisada por 1H RMN e espectrometria de massa (ESI-QTOF), contendo 54,05 % de 6-gingerol, 19,45% de 8-gingerol e 26,5 % de 10-gingerol, a que corresponde uma massa molecular de 314,7 g.mol-1. O complexo γ-CD·gingerois, obtido por co-precipitação, foi caracterizado por FTIR, {1H} 13C CP-MAS RMN, DSC e PXRD. Também neste caso foi observado o empacotamento em canal. Por um ajuntamento segundo Pawley, foi possível refinar os parâmetros de célula em a = b = 23,886(3) Å e c = 23,356(3) Å (tetragonal). A atividade antioxidante de γ-CD·gingerois foi estudada pelo ensaio de proteção do β-caroteno, tendo-se obtido resultados similares aos dos gingerois não incluídos. Os gingerois e o γ-CD·gingerois foram usados para preparar iogurte fortificado com 1% (m/m) de gingerol (ou equivalente de complexo) tendo-se verificado que o complexo é mais facilmente disperso na matriz do que os gingerois não encapsulados. A cor do iogurte fortificado com γ-CD·gingerois apresentou-se mais semelhante à do iogurte simples enquanto para o iogurte com gingerois registaram maiores diferenças. Os iogurtes fortificados foram ainda estudados quanto à durabilidade, não se tendo observado alterações de pH nem aparecimento de odores desagradáveis durante quatro semanas, enquanto no iogurte simples a formação de odor se iniciou entre a segunda e a terceira semana. A atividade antioxidante dos iogurtes fortificados medida pelo método de ABTS foi superior à do controlo, sendo a condição mais promissora verificada para a amostra com gingerois. Estes resultados sugerem que a matriz interfere com a atividade antioxidante de γ-CD·gingerois.
Cyclodextrin inclusion of multi-component guests such as essential oils and plant extracts is a current topic of research. These systems are usefull for a number of applications in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The present work focus on two of these systems, having as guests Cistus ladanifer essential oil and a mixture of gingerols obtained from fresh ginger rhizome. The C. ladanifer essential oil composition was elucidated by GC-MS, which allowed identifying 94.3 % of the components and to establish the approximate Mw at 143.7 g.mol-1. The oil was subsequently included into beta and gamma cyclodextrins (β and γ-CDs) by co-precipitation. Identification of the included components of the oil was done by chloroform extraction followed by GC-MS analysis. β-CD preferentially included compounds of higher molecular weight, whereas γ-CD included lower molecular weight compounds. Solid state analysis of the inclusion complexes comprised infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), {1H} 13C CP-MAS RMN and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) that suggests the occurrence of channel packing for both. Gingerols were obtained from fresh ginger by maceration in isopropanone followed by column chromatography. The product was analysed by 1H RMN and mass spectrometry (ESI-QTOF), revealing a composition of 54.05 % 6-gingerol, 19.45 % 8-gingerol and 26.5 % 10-gingerol, and a corresponding Mw of 314.7 g.mol-1. The γ-CD·gingerols complex was obtained by co-precipitation and characterized by FTIR, {1H} 13C CP-MAS RMN, DSC and PXRD. It presented the typical γ-CD complexes packing in the form of infinite channels. PXRD data was further treated with a Pawley extraction allowing to identify a tetragonal unit cell with the parameters refined at a = b = 23.886(3) Å e c = 23.356(3) Å. The antioxidant activity of γ-CD·gingerois and free gingerols, as evaluated by the β-carotene bleaching assay, showed similar potencies. Free gingerois and the complex of γ-CD·gingerols were employed in fortification of yoghurt, at a concentration of 1% (m/m) of gingerol (or its equivalents mass for the complex). A better dispersion into the matrix was observed for the γ-CD·gingerols–fortified yogurts in comparison with gingerols-fortified samples. The colour of the yoghurts fortified with the complex was almost similar to that of plain yoghurt, whereas those fortified with free gingerols had more colour variation in regard to plain yoghurt. The storage stability of fortified yoghurts was evaluated through pH monitoring and the formation of malodours. No changes in pH or malodours were observed for four weeks. In turn, a malodour in simple yoghurt was noticed starting from the second to the third week of storage. The antioxidant activity of yoghurts, as measured by the ABTS assay, revealed a higher antiradical action for gingerols-fortified and γ-CD·gingerols–fortified yogurts when compared to that of plain yogurts, with the most promising results being registered for the gingerols-fortified samples. These particular results suggest that food matrix might interfering the antioxidant activity of γ-CD·gingerols.

Full textThe primary goal of nanomedicine is to improve clinical outcomes. To this end, the development of nanocarriers based on lipids, polymers and nanoparticles with tailor-made properties that enhance the in vivo potency of drugs is a subject of intense research. However, the subtle physical-chemistry of the polymer-lipid and nanoparticle-lipid interactions still present many poorly understood fields of investigation as well as unanswered questions. This doctoral research project utilizes state-of-the-art visualization (Cryo-TEM, LSCM) and characterization (ITC, DSC, SAXS, SANS, QCM-D) techniques to gain novel insights into the interaction between α-Cyclodextrins in the first hand, a pH-responsive polymer in the other hand, and model DOPC bilayers. The strong influence of both compounds on these model systems elucidate some aspects regarding biological membrane toxicity and suggests novel strategies for pharmaceutical applications
