The structure and complex mode of the inclusion complex of astaxanthin with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) were investigated by UV, FTIR, 1H NMR and molecular modeling test. UV, FTIR and 1H NMR results indicated that the hexatomic ring of the astaxanthin molecules were partly included into the HPCD cavities. The implementation of molecular modeling test confirmed that the complexation could reduce the energy of the system and the complex of 2:1 host-guest stoichiometry had the lowest ΔE value, -30.57 kcal/mol, two hexatomic ring ends of one astaxanthin molecule inserted into two HPCD cavities respectively, and that should be the most predominant configuration.

Mung bean hull polyphenols (MBPs) have the potential to retard starch digestion by altering its multi-scale structures. However, the regulatory mechanism and the key structural characteristics that contribute to digestion resistance remain unclear. In this study, MBPs were non-covalently interacted with wheat starch (WS) under hydrothermal treatments.

A series of substituted 2-(2-benzylidenehydrazinyl)benzothiazole Schiff-base derivatives and complexes containing Re(I) were synthesized and analyzed using various characterization techniques, including elemental analysis, conductance measurement, H-NMR, FT-IR, and LC-MS. The biological activities of the compounds were evaluated. Binding affinity between the complexes and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was conducted using UV-visible spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking studies, indicating intercalation binding mode.
