Evidence of the Existence of 2:1 Guest–Host Complexes between Diclofenac and Cyclodextrins in D2O Solutions. A 1H and 13C NMR Study on Diclofenac/β-Cyclodextrin and Diclofenac/2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Systems

Abstract

The interaction of diclofenac sodium salt (DCFNa) and two cyclodextrins, β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), studied in D₂O solution with different NMR techniques (¹H, ¹³C NMR, ROESY experiments, NMR titrations), shows the existence of multiple equilibria involving 1:1 and 2:1 guest–host complexes.
