Investigation of the binding of roxatidine acetate hydrochloride with cyclomaltoheptaose (β-cyclodextrin) using IR and NMR spectroscopy Original Research Article

NMR chemical shift changes of the cyclomaltoheptaose (β-cyclodextrin, β-CD) cavity protons as well as roxatidine acetate hydrochloride aromatic ring protons revealed the formation of a RAH–β-CD inclusion complex. Detailed FTIR and NMR spectroscopic (1H NMR, COSY, NOESY, ROESY) studies have been done. The stoichiometry of the complex was determined to be 1:1, and the overall binding constant was also determined by Scott’s method. The NOESY spectrum confirmed the selective penetration of the aromatic ring of RAH into the β-CD cavity in comparison to that of the piperidine ring. The mode of penetration of the guest into the CD cavity and structure of the complex has been established.
