RAABCD was prepared in a short time using a solid-state grinding method. The inclusion ratio, binding constant, and change in Gibbs free energy were determined by a phase solubility diagram and/or ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of RAABCD were performed. Morphological features of RAABCD were observed by photomicroscopy. The most likely optimal configuration for RAABCD was simulated by computer modeling. Broth macrodilution testing was done to investigate the antibacterial activity of RAABCD.Results: The inclusion ratio, binding constant, and change in Gibbs free energy, determined by a phase solubility diagram and/or ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy were 1:1, 288.33/261.33 L/mol, and 32.29/31.73 kJ/mol, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transformed infrared spectra of RAABCD confirmed the molecular interaction between rifaldazine and ß-cyclodextrin. The morphological difference between irregular and amorphous-shaped RAABCD and columnar-shaped rifaldazine further confirmed the molecular encapsulation of rifaldazine. The most likely optimal configuration for RAABCD was confirmed by computer modeling. Broth macrodilution testing indicated that RAABCD had good antibacterial activity.Conclusion: RAABCD had improved solubility and good activity, and might be a promising alternative for treatment of a range of bacterial infections.Keywords: rifaldazine, cyclodextrin inclusion complex, stoichiometric relationships, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectra, computer modeling |
