Abstract:

The inclusion interaction between cucurbit [8] uril(Q[8]) and pinocembrin(PCB) was investigated by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer(NMR), UV-Visible spectrophotometer(UV-Vis) and differential thermal analysis(DTA). The results showed that PCB formed a molar ratio 1∶2 inclusion complex with Q[8] and located between the ports of the two rings. The stable binding constant is 5.00×109 L2/mol2. The effects of Q[8] on water solubility, stability, antioxidant activity and cumulative release of PCB were investigated by means of UV absorption spectroscopy. Phase solubility experiments showed that the solubility of PCB could be increased 4.3 fold by interacting when c(Q[8])=90 μmol/L. Both PCB-Q[8] and PCB had good scavenging effect on 2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)(ABTS) free radicals, with IC50 values of 4.3 and 3.2 μmol/L, respectively. PCB and PCB-Q[8] were stable in the artificial gastric juice, and PCB was degraded completely after 72 h in the artificial intestinal fluid, but the degradation of PCB-Q[8] was hardly found. Q[8] increased the accumulation degree of PCB in artificial gastric and intestinal fluid by 5 and 2 times, respectively.
