Article Abstract
Crystal structures of cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin) complexes with p-aminobenzoic acid and o-aminobenzoic acid have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The space group of the beta-cyclodextrin-p-aminobenzoic acid complex is P2(1) with a host:guest stoichiometry of 1:1, and that of the beta-cyclodextrin-o-aminobenzoic acid complex is P1 with a stoichiometry of 2:3. The different structures of the guest molecules lead to the different molecular packing structures of the two complexes. Intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions are the main force that stabilize the supramolecular systems. In both crystals, there are water molecules located near the cavity rims and in interstices between molecules of beta-cyclodextrin participating in formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Background: The buildup of methylparaben (MP), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative with endocrine-disrupting properties, in environmental sources, especially aquatic systems, has become a significant concern due to its adverse health effects, including allergic reactions, promoting the risk of developing cancer, and inducing reproductive disorders. Hence, introducing inexpensive and easy-to-use monitoring devices for rapid, selective, and sensitive detection and quantification of MP is highly desirable. In this context, electrochemical platforms have proven to be attractive options due to their remarkable features, such as ease of fabrication and use, short response time, and acceptable sensitivity, accuracy, and selectivity.

Hyperuricemia-related diabetic wounds are notoriously difficult to treat due to elevated uric acid (UA) levels, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and chronic inflammation. Current therapies often fail to address these underlying causes, underscoring the need for innovative approaches that not only clear UA but also mitigate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a polyrotaxane-based microsphere (HPR MS) system conjugated with 4,5-diamino-2-thiouracil (DT) to achieve high-affinity UA clearance without increasing cytotoxicity.

This study aimed to enhance the properties and compostability of active poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films by incorporating β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) inclusion complexes with allyl isothiocyanate (AITC). Films were prepared using melt extrusion and characterized based on their structural, chemical, morphological, thermal, and barrier properties. These inclusion complexes improved the thermal stability and moisture absorption of films, enhancing disintegration under composting conditions.
