Dibenzoyl Peroxide

The supramolecular interaction of BPO and ß-CD has been studied by spectrophtometry. The mechanism of the inclusion was studied. The results showed that ß-CD react with BPO to form a 2:1 or 1:1 host-guest complex.The ß-CD reacts with benzoic acid to form a 1:1 host-guest complex after the BPO was reduced by hydroxyl ammonium chloride.Based on the enhancement of the absorbance of BPO produced through complex formation, a spectrophotometric method for determination BPO in bulk aqueous solution in the presence of ß-CD was developed. A linear relationship between the absorbance and BPO concentration was obtained in the range of 0.2～50 μg.ml-1. The proposed method was used to determine the BPO in the flour with satisfactory results. The principal advantage of the proposed method is its excellent selectivity based on molecule recognition of ß-CD and simple.

Stat3 Phosphorylation

Curcumin (Cur) is a naturally occurring anticancer drug isolated from the Curcuma longa plant. It is known to exhibit anticancer properties via inhibiting the STAT3 phosphorylation process. However, its poor water solubility and low bioavailability impede its clinical application. Herein, we used organoplatinum(II) ← pyridyl coordination-driven self-assembly and a cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8])-mediated heteroternary host–guest complex formation in concert to produce an effective delivery system that transports Cur into the cancer cells. Specifically, a hexagon 1, containing hydrophilic methyl viologen (MV) units and 3,4,5-Tris[2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy]benzoyl groups alternatively at the vertices, has been synthesized and characterized by several spectroscopic techniques. The MV units of 1 underwent noncovalent complexation with CB[8] to yield a host–guest complex 4. Cur can be encapsulated in 4, via a 1:1:1 heteroternary complex formation, resulting in a water-soluble host–guest complex 5. The host–guest complex 5 exhibited ca. 100-fold improved IC50 values relative to free Cur against human melanoma (C32), melanoma of rodents (B16F10), and hormone-responsive (MCF-7) and triple-negative (MDA-MB231) breast cancer cells. Moreover, strong synergisms of Cur with 1 and 4 with combinatorial indexes of <1 across all of the cell lines were observed. An induced apoptosis with fragmented DNA pattern and inhibited expression of phosphor-STAT3 supported the improved therapeutic potential of Cur in heteroternary complex 5.

A pH titrimetric study of the complexation of the guests benzoic acid, 4-methylbenzoic acid and (R)- and (S)-2-phenylpropanoic acids and their conjugate bases by the host 6A-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]-, 6A-[3-(3-aminopropylamino)propylamino]-, 6A-(1,4,7-triazacyclononan-1-yl)-, and 6A-(1,5,9-triazacyclododecan-1-yl)-6A-deoxy-β-cyclodextrins (βCDdien, βCDdipn, βCDtacn and βCDtacdo, respectively) is reported. Over the pH range 3.0–11.0, 49 host–guest complexes were detected. Their stability constants (K) range from 220±50 dm3 mol–1 for the βCDdienH22+ ·benzoate– complex to 48000±11000 dm3 mol–1 for the βCDdipnH22+·(S)-2-phenylpropanoic acid complex at 298.2 K and I = 0.10 mol dm–3 (NaClO4). The latter K value is among the highest reported for a complex of a simple carboxylic acid with a substituted β-cyclodextrin. The charge, hydrophobicity and stereochemistry of both host and guest appear to be significant factors in the variation of host–guest complex stability. 1H ROESY n.m.r. studies of some of the complexes formed are also reported.
