title: Interaction of beta-cyclodextrin with bile acids and their competition with vitamins A and D3 as determined by 1H-NMR spectrometry.
abstract: The interaction of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) with four bile acids, cholic, taurocholic, chenodeoxycholic and lithocholic, was demonstrated by proton-NMR spectroscopy. Lithocholic and chenodeoxycholic acids exhibit a stronger affinity for beta-CD than cholic and taurocholic acids. The affinity of bile acids for beta-CD increases in relation to their hydrophobicity. The competition between these bile acids and the lipophilic vitamins A and D3 in the formation of beta-CD inclusion complexes was studied. These vitamins compete with cholic and taurocholic acids whereas they do not with lithocholic and chenodeoxycholic acids. In the latter case all of the beta-CD present was consumed by the bile acids with the vitamins remaining free in the medium. The affinity of vitamins A and D3 for beta-CD is lower than that of the bile acids. Therefore, when lithocholic or chenodeoxycholic acids are present, the formation of beta-CD inclusion complexes with the vitamins does not occur. The results of this study suggest that depletion of lipophilic vitamins will not occur upon ingestion of beta-CD, thus providing further support for the safety and suitability of beta-CD as an ingredient in foods and orally administered drugs.
