Abstract
The aim of the research was to investigate and compare the interaction between flavanones (flavanone, 4-chloro-flavanone) with potential anticancer activity and selected cyclodextrins. Measurements were made using calorimetric (ITC, DSC) and spectrophotometric (UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, 1H NMR) methods. The increase in the solubility in aqueous medium caused by the complexation process was determined by the Higuchi-Connors method. As a result of the study, the stoichiometry and thermodynamics of the complexation reaction were determined. The formation of stable inclusion complexes at a 1:1 M ratio between flavanone and 4-chloroflavanone and the cyclodextrins selected for research was also confirmed.
