Inclusion complexation between baicalein and β-cyclodextrin and the influence of β-cyclodextrin on the binding of baicalein with DNA: a spectroscopic approach.

This work deals with the commonly studied cyclic oligosaccharide and gains importance as it is entered on a drug delivering carbohydrate and provides insight into the oligosaccharide complex-biomolecular interaction. The binding of a flavone, baicalein, to β-cyclodextrin and calf thymus DNA is studied. The binding of baicalein to calf thymus DNA in the presence of β-cyclodextrin is analysed using the UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Binding of a chromen-4-one Schiff's base with bovine serum albumin: capping with β-cyclodextrin influences the binding.

This work deals with the synthesis of 6-methyl-3-[(4'-methylphenyl)imino]methyl-4H-chromen-4-one (MMPIMC), its binding to β-cyclodextrin, and the influence of the cyclodextrin complexation on the compound's binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA). The 1:2 stoichiometry for the complexation of MMPIMC with β-cyclodextrin is determined with the binding constant of 1.90 × 10(4) M(-2).

Mode of encapsulation of linezolid by β-cyclodextrin and its role in bovine serum albumin binding.

We describe, in this article, the associative interaction between Linezolid and β-Cyclodextrin, and the influence of β-Cyclodextrin on Linezolid's binding to Bovine serum albumin. β-Cyclodextrin forms a 1:1 inclusion complex with Linezolid, with a binding constant value of 3.51×10(2)M(-1).

Tuning the binding of coumarin 6 with DNA by molecular encapsulators: effect of β-cyclodextrin and C-hexylpyrogallol[4]arene.

We report in this paper that the binding of coumarin 6 (C6) to DNA can be tuned by complexing it with host structures, viz. β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and C-hexylpyrogallol-4-arene (C-HPA). Because host molecules are used as carriers of small molecules onto target sites, the exposed part of the guest molecule needs to be found out, and the relationship between the host : guest ratio and the mode of binding with the target macromolecule, that is, the DNA needs to be analyzed, in order to comprehend the preferred binding moiety and tune the binding.

Phenylhydrazones of piperidin-4-ones as AND, OR, NOR, NAND, and INH molecular logic gates.

Phenylhydrazone derivatives of 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ones viz., 3-methyl-2,6-diphenylpiperidin-4-one (PMP-PH) and 3-methyl-2,6-di-(9H-fluorenyl)piperidin-4-one (FMP-PH) when illuminated and protonated perform the functions of AND, OR, NOR, NAND Boolean logic gates with all optical outputs. The functions of the AND and the NAND gates rely on changes in absorption and emission of the phenylhydrazone upon isomerization of the photochromic unit.
