Isothermal titration calorimetry method for determination of cyclodextrin complexation thermodynamics between artemisinin and naproxen under varying environmental conditions.
A novel isothermal titration calorimetry method was used to determine the complexation thermodynamics for hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin with artemisinin and naproxen at varying temperature and pH. The new method is very useful for studying complexation reactions between cyclodextrin and drugs with poor solubility and all the thermodynamic parameters of the cyclodextrin complexation were determined. The analysis of the thermodynamic data reveals involvement of hydrophobic bonding in the cyclodextrin complexes studied. The data also reveals the presence of enthalpy-entropy compensation in the system and provide information as to the orientation of the drug molecule inside the cyclodextrin cavity. From the thermodynamic parameters for dissociation of HPBCD complexes of artemisinin and naproxen at pH 2 it is concluded that the complexation is primarily driven by enthalpy with entropic assistance at all temperatures studied. From the dissociation studies of HPBCD complexes of naproxen at pH 10 it is concluded that the complexation is predominantly driven by entropy and moderately by enthalpy at lower temperatures and by enthalpy with entropic assistance at higher temperatures.
