BIMODAL MOLECULAR ENCAPSULATION OF MEFENAMIC ACID ANION BY ΒCD IN SOLUTION AND SOLID STATE M. Bogdan1, Diana Bogdan1, M.R. Caira2, S.I. Farcas1 1 National R&D Institute of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies Department of Chemistry, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7701 Cape Town, South Africa 2 Inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins (CDs), formed by molecular encapsulation of guest compounds in the cavity of macrocyclic hosts, are noncovalent associations of current interest to the pharmaceutical industry as they could improve the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs1. Mefenamic acid (MF), a poorly water-soluble nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug is commonly used in therapeutics because of its strong analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties. A successful method used to increase not only the water solubility, but also the stability of mefenamic acid is the complexation with CDs. In order to understand the biopharmaceutical functions of the mefenamic acid molecule we need to investigate the driving forces for complexation and the structure of the inclusion complex. In the present study, the complexation between mefenamic acid anion and β-CD was investigated in solution by 1H NMR. The continuous variation method was used to establish the stoichiometry. The results obtained indicate that simultaneous inclusion of both aromatic rings occurs, giving rise to two isomeric 1:1 complexes. The association constants for the two 1:1 complexes were calculated by non-linear least squares regression analysis, applying an iteration procedure. In the solid state, the crystal structure of the inclusion complex has been determined from a combination of high-resolution synchrotron powder-diffraction data and molecularmechanics calculations. A grid search indicates two possible modes of inclusion, as in solution, which were corroborated by molecular-mechanics calculations3. In both modes of inclusion, MF and β-CD form a monomeric complex in a herringbone-packing scheme. The obtained results suggest that the same modes of inclusion are effective both in solution and in the solid state. 1. K.H. Frö m mi n g , J . S ze j tli, Cyclodextrin in Pharmacy, Kluwer Acad.
