The effects of chiral discrimination in inclusion complexes formed by native β-cyclodextrin and its substituted form (namely methyl-β-cyclodextrin) with racemate or pure enantiomers of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug ibuprofen have been investigated in water. Stability constants and complexation efficiency have been determined for these host–guest systems with a 1:1 molar ratio from phase solubility profiles, showing that in aqueous solution, methylated cyclodextrin is a better complex agent than native cyclodextrin, with more enhanced effects for the (R)-enantiomer. These results have been validated using NMR technique. In particular, 1H NMR spectra in D2O show a splitting of the signals for the methyl group and the aromatic protons close to the asymmetric centre of the racemate ibuprofen included in cyclodextrin cavity.

Abstract
The effects of chiral discrimination in inclusion complexes formed by native β-cyclodextrin and its substituted form (namely methyl-β-cyclodextrin) with racemate or pure enantiomers of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug ibuprofen have been investigated in water. Stability constants and complexation efficiency have been determined for these host–guest systems with a 1:1 molar ratio from phase solubility profiles, showing that in aqueous solution, methylated cyclodextrin is a better complex agent than native cyclodextrin, with more enhanced effects for the (R)-enantiomer. These results have been validated using NMR technique. In particular, 1H NMR spectra in D2O show a splitting of the signals for the methyl group and the aromatic protons close to the asymmetric centre of the racemate ibuprofen included in cyclodextrin cavity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
