Abstract

Abstract : The effects ofβ -cyclodextrin (β -CD) complexation on the absorption and emission properties of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs tolmetin (TM), diflunisal (DF), and fenbufen (FB) have been investigated. The absorption spectra of all these compounds are only slightly affected by the addition ofβ -CD. In contrast, the emission properties were markedly influenced by CD complexation and in a different manner for the three compounds due to a differentiated sensitivity of the excited drugs to the microenvironment. The complexes are all characterised by a 1: 1 stoichiometry and two different inclusion geometries for TM-β -CD complexes have been observed. Induced circular dichroism (icd) is observed due to the interaction of the compounds with the CD chiral cavity. The icd spectra are characterized by maxima well corresponding to those of the absorption spectra. A nonlinear analysis of the dependence of the icd signal magnitude on the CD concentration provided association constants valuesK a s s = 1400 ± 100 M − 1, and2600 ± 150 M − 1 for TM, DF, and FB respectively.
