Abstract
The inclusion compounds of auranofin (AF) and its iodide derivative (AF-I) with HP-β-CD were recently identified and characterized experimentally. In the present work, classical molecular dynamics and the quantum computational GFN2-xTB method were applied to investigate the inclusion processes. As a result, both approaches identified AF-I@HP-β-CD as the most favourable system, as observed experimentally. The higher stability of AF-I@HP-β-CD was explained by entropy and solvation factors, with the GFN2-xTB method providing a stability constant (logK1:1) in good agreement with the experimental results: 0.21–1.21 for AF@HP-β-CD and 1.31–2.33 for AF-I@HP-β-CD (the experimental values are 1.48 and 2.52, respectively). The preferred inclusion mode for AF-I@HP-β-CD has a triethylphosphine (-PEt3) group pointed towards the head portion of the HP-β-CD where the HP groups are attached (labelled P2). The P2 mode showed short contacts between -CH2CH3 groups (-PEt3) and -H-3 only (inside the CD cavity), which is also supported by ROESY experiments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry is the premier interdisciplinary publication reporting on original research into all aspects of host-guest systems. Examples of specific areas of interest are: the preparation and characterization of new hosts and new host-guest systems, especially those involving macrocyclic ligands; crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and theoretical studies; applications in chromatography and inclusion polymerization; enzyme modelling; molecular recognition and catalysis by inclusion compounds; intercalates in biological and non-biological systems, cyclodextrin complexes and their applications in the agriculture, flavoring, food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites.
The journal publishes primarily reports of original research and preliminary communications, provided the latter represent a significant advance in the understanding of inclusion science. Critical reviews dealing with recent advances in the field are a periodic feature of the journal.
