- Abstract
- Specific recognition of cell-targeting systems as host-carriers modified with receptor targeting groups,
is a major ambition in the application of supramolecular science to medicine and life science. Genistein
(Gen), an isoflavone belonging to the class of phytoestrogens, is of great interest because it has been
considered as potential remedy for many kinds of disease. In this work, Genistein in aqueous medium
and in the presence of an host nanocarrier as amphiphilic cyclodextrin (CyD) modified in the upper rim
with oligoethylene hydroxyl groups [(2-oligo(ethyleneoxide)-6-hexylthio)-?-CyD, SC6OH] at 1:1 molar
ratio, has been firstly investigated by UV-vis measurements coupled with circular dichroism data, in
order to characterize the drug/macrocycle binding affinity through the formation of the complex.
Furthermore, FTIR-ATR technique has been used to detect the complex formation in solid phase and
to characterize the functional groups responsible of the solid Gen/SC6OH complex stability. The infrared
absorbance spectra of the complex, collected in a wide range of wavenumber and around the physiological
temperature, have been analysed and compared with the spectra of the pure compounds and their
physical mixture. By monitoring the most significant changes in the shape and position of the absorbance
bands of the Gen functional groups, we showed that the formation and/or modification of polar bonds
play the main role in the interaction of the drug with the amphiphilic CyD. From the results, Gen is
shown to be entangled in SC6OH nanoaggregates, establishing hydrogen bonding with the hydrophilic
PEG chains. (literal)
