Preparation and characterization of a synthetic curcumin analog inclusion complex and preliminary evaluation of in vitro antileishmanial activity.

Abstract:

:The aim of this work was to prepare and characterize inclusion complexes between a synthetic curcumin analog (dibenzalacetone, DBA) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD); and to evaluate their in vitro antileishmanial activity. DBA was synthetized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and the inclusion complexes were obtained by kneading and lyophilization (LIO) in 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometries. Phase solubility and dissolution assays showed a 40-fold increase in the aqueous solubility of DBA and its complete dissolution from LIO 1:1 formulation after 120 min respectively. Solid-state characterization by differential scanning calorimetry and near infrared spectroscopy demonstrated the inclusion of DBA in the β-CD cavity at the molar ratios tested, with LIO 1:1 formulation being the most stable. Using nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, the protons inside the cavity of β-CD were the most affected after the inclusion of DBA molecule. The cellular viability of THP-1 macrophage cells treated with plain DBA, β-CD and DBA/CD inclusion complexes showed that the plain DBA and DBA/CD at 1:2 stoichiometry presented toxicity, while β-CD alone and DBA/CD at 1:1 stoichiometry showed no toxicity up to 640 μg mL-1. The in vitro assay with free-living promastigotes demonstrated that plain DBA and β-CD had IC50 of < 10 and > 320 μg mL-1 respectively, while only inclusion complexes with 1:1 stoichiometry showed antiproliferative activity with IC50 = 51.3 μg mL-1. Using the amastigote intracellular forms, there was also a difference between the plain and β-CD complexed DBA with complexes of 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry presenting EC50 = 66.3 μg mL-1 and 58.9 μg mL-1 respectively. The study concluded that DBA/CD at 1:1 molar ratio has the potential to decrease the intrinsic toxicity of plain DBA towards Leishmania host cells, which may be a therapeutic advantage in the application of these compounds.
