Synthesis and Characterization of an Inclusion Complex of dl -Aminoglutethimide with β-Cyclodextrin and Its Innovative Application in a Biological System: Computational and Experimental Investigations

Abstract

Our present study intended to investigate the encapsulation of DL-AGT within the lipophilic cavity of a β-CD molecule. The consequential inclusion system was characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy and 1H NMR, PXRD, SEM, and FT-IR studies. Molecular docking was performed for the inclusion complex to discover the most proper orientation, and it was seen that the drug DL-AGT fits into the cavity of β-CD in a 1:1 ratio, which was also confirmed from the Job plot. Furthermore, a comparison was done on the basis of cell viability between the drug and its inclusion complex.
