Effect of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complexation on the aqueous solubility, structure, thermal stability, antioxidant activity, and tyrosinase inhibition of paeonol
2012
The objective of this paper is to study the effect of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) complexation on the aqueous solubility, structure, thermal stability, antioxidant activity, and tyrosinase inhibition of paeonol (PAE). The inclusion complex (PAE-HP-β-CD complex) of HP-β-CD and PAE was prepared by a freeze-drying method. Phase solubility tests showed that the stability constant of the inclusion complex was about 33.8 M−1 at 25 °C. The experimental results of proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) suggested that PAE was included by HP-β-CD to form the PAE-HP-β-CD complex. Furthermore, the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that the thermal stability of PAE was improved when it was complexed with HP-β-CD. Comparing the antioxidant activity of PAE with that of the PAE-HP-β-CD complex at the same concentration revealed that the complex of PAE with HP-β-CD was better able to eliminate radical. Furthermore, the experimental results revealed that the formation of a complex with HP-β-CD increased the water solubility of PAE, improving its apparent inhibitive activity of tyrosinase.
