title: Improvement of antifungal activity of 10-undecyn-1-ol by inclusion complexation with cyclodextrin derivatives.
abstract: The inclusion complexation behavior between 10-undecyn-1-ol and cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives, namely, randomly methylated beta-CD (RM-beta-CD) and hydroxypropyl-beta-CD (HP-beta-CD), was studied in terms of solubility improvement, apparent stability constant, and the inclusion ratios of the resultant inclusion complexes. The aqueous solubility of 10-undecyn-1-ol was greatly improved through complexation with the CD derivatives. RM-beta-CD is comparatively more efficient in solubilizing 10-undecyn-1-ol with an apparent stability constant outstripping that of HP-beta-CD by about an order of magnitude. Comparative in vitro evaluations of the growth inhibition effects of inclusion complex solutions toward Rosellinia necatrix, a phytopathogenic fungus, were performed. In comparison with the positive control, appreciable improvements of the antifungal activity of 10-undecyn-1-ol through the addition of CD derivatives were observed visually. The improvement was evaluated in terms of area covered by the mycelia of Rosellinia necatrix and their growth rate. RM-beta-CD was proven to be more effective compared to HP-beta-CD with regard to the reduction of both fungal mycelium-covered area and growth rate constant, presumably owing to greater solubility enhancement by RM-beta-CD and thus the bioavailability of 10-undecyn-1-ol. Inclusion complexation of 10-undecyn-1-ol with CD derivatives suggests a potential means for production of an environmentally friendly 10-undecyn-1-ol-based fungicide to counteract R. necatrix.
