1 Introduction

Lapatinib (LAP) (Figure 1) is a potent and selective inhibitorof the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and humanepidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) [1]

The drug is marketed as its ditosylate salt in form of afilm-coated tablet (TyverbTykerb) It is currently used incombination therapy with capecitabine or letrozole for thetreatment of HER2-positive advanced or metastatic breastcancer [2 3] The pharmacokinetic properties of LAP arenot optimal Its oral bioavailability is moderate at best it hasconsiderable interpatient variability [4] and it is significantlyaffected by food intake Both low-fat and high-fat dietsbefore LAP administration increased its systematic exposure[4 5] Besides food intake gastric pH also influences LAPbioavailability Higher gastric pH reduces LAP absorptiontherefore concomitant use of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs)

can decrease its bioavailability [6] The recommended doseof LAP is 1250ndash1500mg once daily which means taking5-6 tablets at once reducing patient adherence to therapyIncreasing the bioavailability of LAP could reduce the doseThus a novel formulation with high solubility and bioavail-ability is currently an unmet medical need

Enhancement of solubility and the concomitant bioavail-ability can be achieved by variousmeans such as solid disper-sion size reduction cosolvency polymorphism formation ofwater soluble prodrug or complexes [7] Cyclodextrin (CD)complexation is one of themost extensively investigated waysto improve drug solubility and bioavailability [8]

CDs are cyclic oligosaccharides comprising six seven oreight D-glucose units (120572- 120573- and 120574-CD resp) that have beenrecognized as pharmaceutical adjuvants for the past 20 yearsCDs have a hydrophilic surface responsible for their watersolubility and a hydrophobic inner cavity where lipophilic

molecules with adequate dimensions can be accommodatedforming a noncovalently bonded host-guest complex con-ferring an increased aqueous solubility for the encapsulatedmolecule Besides native CDs several modified derivativesare also available differing in nature position of substituentsand average degree of substitution in order to enhance theinclusion capacity and improve the physicochemical prop-erties of the parent native CDs [9 10] Many advantages ofinclusion complexation have been reported such as increasedsolubility enhanced bioavailability improved stability tasteand odor masking reduced volatility and modified drugrelease [11]

So far only a few attempts have been reported to improvethe bioavailability of LAP [12ndash14] To the best of our knowl-edge LAP-CD inclusion complex characterization has yetto be described despite the fact that CD complexation hasbeen proven to increase the solubility bioavailability andanticancer activity of other tyrosine kinase inhibitors erloti-nib gefitinib imatinib and so forth [15ndash19] moreoversulfobutylether-120573-CD was used for solubilizing LAP in someearlier studies [20 21]

Here we report the quantified biorelevant physicochemi-cal properties of LAP On the basis of the protonation con-stants lipophilicity and solubility parameters we focus onthe characterization and optimization of complex formationbetween various CDs and LAP The information presentedherein can be useful for the development of a new improvedLAP formulationThemethods used in this study includeUVand NMR spectroscopy electrospray ionization-mass spec-trometry (ESI-MS) phase-solubility and molecular model-ing

2 Materials and Methods

21 Materials All CDs (120572-CD 120573-CD 120574-CD (2-hydroxypro-pyl)-120573-CD (HP-120573-CD) random methylated 120573- (RAMEB-)CD and sulfobutylether-120573-CD (SBE-CD)) were the productsof Cyclolab RampD Ltd Hungary Degree of substitution (DS)

of HP-120573-CD RAMEB and SBE-CD was sim45 sim12 and65 respectively LAP was purchased from Eurasiarsquos LtdIndia Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) H3PO4KH2PO4 KOHNaOHHCl andKClwere of analytical gradefrom commercial suppliers D2O DCl dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) hexadeuterated dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO-1198896)and n-octanol were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich whileMeOH was from Merck Ultrapure deionized water wasprepared by a Milli-Q Direct 8 Millipore system

22 Determination of Protonation Constant by UV-pH Titra-tion The log119870 value of LAP was determined by UV-pH titration using the D-PAS ultraviolet spectropho-tometer attached to a GLpKa instrument (Sirius AnalyticalInstruments Ltd Forest Row UK) Multiwavelength UVabsorbance of the sample solutionwasmonitored throughoutthe titration using the fiber-optic probe in situ [22] The UV-pH titrations were carried out under nitrogen atmosphere atconstant ionic strength (119868 = 015MKCl) and temperature(119905 = 250 plusmn 05∘C) Due to the very low solubility of LAPthe cosolvent method was used to determine its log119870 valueThe cosolvent protonation constants (log1198701015840 values) weredetermined in six differentMeOH-watermixtures within 23ndash43 (ww) A stock LAP solution of 7mM concentration wasprepared in DMSO In each experiment 75120583L of the stocksolutions was transferred into sample vials containing 15mLof 015MKCl solution to achieve the required sample concen-tration In each experiment the acidity of the sample solutionwas adjusted using 05M HCl to about pHlowast 25 and thentitrated with 05M KOH to about pHlowast 9 Spectral data wererecorded in the 200ndash700 nm region after each pH measure-ment About 20 pH readings and absorption spectra werecollected from each titration The log1198701015840 values were calcu-lated by RefinementPro software

The measured log1198701015840 values in MeOH-water solutionswere then extrapolated to aqueous condition (zero MeOHconcentration) according to the Yasuda-Shedlovsky proce-dure [23] The Yasuda-Shedlovsky extrapolation method isbased on the linear relation between log1198701015840 and the dielectricconstant (120576) of the cosolvent mixture

log1198701015840 + log [H2O] =119886120576 + 119887 (1)

where 120576 is the dielectric constant and log[H2O] is the molarwater concentration of the givenMeOH-watermixtureThreeparallel measurements were carried out

23 Determination of the Intrinsic Solubility by Chasing Equi-librium Solubility Method (Cheqsol) The thermodynamicsolubility of the nonionized form of the samples was deter-mined by the Chasing Equilibrium Solubility (CheqSol)method [24] The apparatus used to perform the solubilitydeterminations was a GLpKa titrator and a D-PAS spectrom-eter controlled by RefinementPro and CheqSol software (Sir-ius Forest Row UK) The titrations were performed undernitrogen atmosphere at 015M ionic strength and 250plusmn05∘Cusing standardized 05M HCl and 05M KOH solutions

Three parallel measurements were carried out The imple-mentation of the experiment is described in more detail inour previous articles [19 25]

24 Partition Coefficient Measurement by the Stir-FlaskMethod The distribution coefficients were measured fromthe absorbance of the molecules before and after partitioningusing standard stir-flask method as we previously reported[26]

The partition coefficient (119875) cannot be measured directlydue to the high log119875 value of LAPTherefore the distributioncoefficient (119863) was determined at acidic pH (pH = 2) wherethemolecule is in dicationic form and at two other pH valuesat pH 583 and 611Three parallel measurements were carriedout at each pH The pH was measured using a Metrohm60204100 combined pH glass electrode and a Metrohm 780pH meter The watern-octanol phase ratio varied between250 and 600 The log119875 values of each macrospecies werecalculated based on the following equation

119863pH = 120594119894119875119894 = 120594LAP2+119875LAP2+ lowast 120594LAP+119875LAP+ lowast 120594LAP119875LAP (2)

where 120594 is the mole fraction of the corresponding macrospe-cies of the charge indicated

25 Determination of Cyclodextrin Complex Stability by UVSpectroscopy UV spectroscopic measurements were carriedout on a Jasco V-550 diode-array spectrometer (Jasco Japan)with 10mm quartz cuvettes at 25∘C

LAP was titrated with a constant amount of native CDs(120572- 120573- and 120574-CD) at pH = 2 using 001MHCl as solventA stock solution of each CD was combined with differentvolumes of LAP solutions and filled to the same volume TheUV spectra were measured against a blind solution Threeparallel measurements were carried out for each CD Thecomplex formation equilibrium can be characterized by thefollowing complex stability constant

119870stab =[CD-LAP][CD] [LAP] (3)

where [CD] [LAP] and [CD-LAP] are the equilibriumconcentrations of the CD LAP and the complex respectivelySince the total concentrations of CD ([CD]119879) and LAP([LAP]119879) are known assuming 1 1 stoichiometry we can usethe following relationships

[CD]119879 = [CD] + [CD-LAP][LAP]119879 = [LAP] + [CD-LAP]

(4)

Since absorbance of any of the CDs is negligible and noassociation other than the CD-LAP formation takes placeit can be safely assumed that only LAP and the complexcontribute significantly to the absorbance therefore themeasured absorbance at any given wavelength is the weighedlinear combination of the two absorbances (1205760 and 1205761 beingthe molar extinction coefficients of LAP and the complex at agiven wavelength resp)

119860 = 1205760 [LAP] + 1205761 [CD-LAP] (5)Since the equilibrium concentration of LAP can be expressedin terms of the total LAP and the complex concentrations theabove equation takes on the following form

119860 = 1205760 [LAP]119879 + (1205761 minus 1205760) [CD-LAP] (6)

The complex concentration can be expressedwith the stabilityconstant (119870stab) and the total concentrations

119870stab =[CD-LAP]

([CD]119879 minus [CD-LAP]) ([LAP]119879 minus [CD-LAP]) (7)

Solving the above quadratic equation for [CD-LAP] one canderive an equation for absorbance (using (6)) which if fittedonto the data provides the complex stability constant

119860 = 1205760 [LAP]119879

+ (1205761 minus 1205760)(119870stab [CD]119879 + 119870stab [LAP]119879 + 1) minus radic(119870stab [CD]119879 + 119870stab [LAP]119879 + 1)2 minus 4119870stab2 [CD]119879 [LAP]119879

Multiple fitting was performed with Opium program

26 NMR Measurements All NMR measurements werecarried out on an AgilentVarian VNMRS spectrometer(600MHz for 1H) with a 5mm inverse-detection gradientprobehead inD2ODMSO-1198896 73 (vv)mixtures at 25∘C pDlowastwas set to 2 using DCl solution Addition of DMSO-1198896 wasnecessary due to the low solubility of LAP in aqueous solventseven at acidic pH The chemical shifts were referenced to the

The average extent of penetration and the direction ofinclusion were investigated by 2D ROESYNMR Intermolec-ular NOEs between LAP and CD protons directly involvedin the host-guest interaction were detected as cross-peaksIn these experiments the samples contained 1mM LAP and2mM 120573-CD The ROESY spectrum was recorded applyinga sweep width of 6 kHz and a spinlock of 3 kHz for amixing time of 300ms 256 increments were collected with32 repetitions and the measured data matrix was processedas a matrix of 4K (1198652) by 1K (1198651) data points

27 ESI-MS Experiments High resolution accurate massof LAP-120573-CD inclusion complex was determined with anAgilent 6230 time of flight (TOF)mass spectrometer (AgilentGermany) Samples were introduced by the Agilent 1260Infinity LC system and the mass spectrometer was operatedin conjunction with a Jet Stream electrospray ion source inpositive ion mode Reference masses of mz = 121050873and 922009798 were used to calibrate the mass axis duringanalysisThe following ion source parameterswere employedflow and temperature of the drying gas 10 Lmin and 320∘Cpressure of the nebulizer gas (N2) 45 psi capillary voltage3000V nozzle voltage 500V sheath gas flow and tempera-ture 10 Lmin and 320∘C respectively TOF-MS parameterswere as follows fragmentor voltage 300V skimmer poten-tial 170V OCT 1 RF Vpp 750V 1 120583L of sample solutioncontaining 1mM LAP and 1mM 120573-CD was directly injectedinto themass spectrometer Data were acquired in a 100ndash3000mzmass range and peaks of the hypothesized complex weresearched for in the 1000ndash3000mz intervalMass spectrawereprocessed by Agilent MassHunter B0400 software

28 Phase-Solubility Studies LAP phase-solubility studieswere performed according to the method described byHiguchi and Connors [27] Excess amount of LAP (5-6mg) was added to 5mL stock solution with increasingconcentrations of different CDs (120573-CD HP-120573-CD RAMEBand SBE-CD) at pH 20 at 015M ionic strengthThe obtainedsuspensions were stirred for 24 hours After sedimentationLAP concentrations were measured from the supernatantspectrophotometrically on a Jasco V-550 instrument at269 nmThree parallel measurements were carried out

Assuming 1 1 stoichiometry the stability constant of thecomplex (119870stab) can be determined using the phase-solubilitydiagram according to the following equation

119870stab =slope

1198780 (1 minus slope) (9)

where 1198780 is the intrinsic solubility of LAP in the absence ofCDs

29 Molecular Modeling Molecular modeling study wasperformed as previously reported [19 28 29] by usingthe semiempirical PM3 method of Hyperchem Professionalsoftware (version 80) The initial structures of neutral LAPand 120573-CD were constructed with the help of Hyperchem 80and optimized with PM3 A docking procedure was used tocalculate the energy of the complex LAP was moved into

the CD cavity from the wider rim step-by-step performing ageometry optimization after each step until the conformationwith the lowest energy was achieved The docking procedurewas repeated using different starting positions and the lowestachieved energy was considered as the optimal geometry ofthe complex

The stability of the complex was estimated from theformation energy

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physicochemical Characterization of LAP Determinationof the physicochemical properties of drugs is crucial tounderstand the pharmacokinetic behavior at the molecularlevel Therefore protonation constants octanolwater parti-tion coefficient and the intrinsic solubility of LAPwere deter-mined Due to the very low solubility of LAP the protonationconstants can only be determined by UV-pH titration withmixed-solvent procedure (Figure 2(a)) In ourmeasurementsthe MeOH-water cosolvent system was used where theapparent protonation constants (log1198701015840 values) were deter-mined in six different mixtures then the aqueous log119870s wereobtained by extrapolation using Yasuda-Shedlovsky method(see (1)) taking into account the dielectric constant of thedifferent cosolvent mixtures (Figure 2(b)) This way log1198701 =772 plusmn 007 and log1198702 = 508 plusmn 005 values were obtained

Using the protonation constants the distribution curvesfor protonation macrospecies of LAP can be depicted as afunction of the pH (Figure 3(a)) The diagram shows that inacidic media at the pH of the stomach the dicationic formis overwhelmingly dominant The compound exists mainlyin monocationic form at the pH of the blood (674) AbovepH 8 the neutral form dominates which plays a crucial rolein the transport mechanism in general assuming that orallyadministrated LAP is absorbed mainly from the intestine

Lipophilicity of LAP was characterized in terms of par-tition coefficient which is the most widely used descriptorof lipophilicity in QSAR studies [30] The working range ofthe used stir-flask method is minus4 to +4 in log119863 values limitedby the accuracy of the phase volume measurement Based onthis fact the octanolwater partition coefficient at pH valueswhere the nonionized form dominates cannot be measureddirectly due to the very high log119875 value of LAP Thereforethe log119863 values were measured at lower pHs At pH 2 wherethe molecule is practically 100 dicationic the measuredlog119863pH 2 = 271 plusmn 006 characterizes the lipophilicity of thedicationic species From log119863 values at pH 583 (367plusmn007)pH 611 (390 plusmn 008) and pH 2 (271 plusmn 006) the log119875 valueof the monocationic and neutral species could be calculatedusing (2)The values are summarized in Table 1 while the pH-dependent lipophilicity profile of LAP is in Figure 3(b)

These values indicate that LAP is an extremely lipophilicmolecule and even the dicationic form has the capability topenetrate membranes by passive diffusion These high log119875values also explain the ability of LAP to cross the blood-brainbarrier which could be a further therapeutic approach in

32 Determination of LAP-120573-CD Stoichiometry NMR Job Plotand ESI-TOF-MS Studies In order to draw adequate conclu-sions on the inclusion process the knowledge of selector-selectand complexation stoichiometry is a prerequisite Thegeneral method to determine complex stoichiometry is Jobrsquoscontinuous variation method In this experiment the 1HNMR chemical shifts (120575) were measured at different LAPconcentration120573-CD concentration (119888LAP119888CD) ratios whilethe sum of 119888LAP + 119888CD was kept constant The calculatedfactors (Δ120575120594LAP) were plotted as a function of LAP molarratio (120594LAP) In all cases the resulting Job plot diagramsshowed maxima at 05 indicating the typical 1 1 bindingstoichiometry Representative Job plot curves of LAP and 120573-CD are shown in Figure 4(a)

The complex stoichiometry was also studied by ESI-TOF-MS technique which provides a powerful means to studynoncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes between a CDand the guest molecule [32] A large number of publicationsprove that a simple fast ESI-MS analysis is suitable for the de-termination of inclusion complex stoichiometry [15 19 33]

however ESI-MS studies imply the question whether theobserved peaks represent actual inclusion complexes orrather electrostatic adducts formed during the electrosprayprocess [34] if however additional adequate techniquesprove that the complex formation ESI-MS is straightforwardway to determine complex stoichiometry Analyzing the MSspectra in the 100ndash1500mz range the protonated molecularion of the uncomplexed LAP (mz 5811419 [M+H]+) theirsource fragment ion (mz 4581027 [M+H]+) and the charac-teristic mz values of uncomplexed 120573-CD (mz 11353732[M+H]+ 11573531 [M+Na]+) can be observed Figure 4(b)shows the renormalized upper part (1500ndash3000 mz) of themass spectrum of a sample containing LAP and 120573-CD in 1 2molar ratio The observed signal at mz 17155157 with gen-erated C71H96ClFN4O39S molecular formula corresponds tothe LAP-120573-CD 1 1 inclusion complex whichmeans that ESI-TOF-MS confirms the NMR Job result verifying the 1 1 stoi-chiometry

33 Determination of Stability Constant by UV UV spec-troscopy can be a sensitive technique to characterize the CDinclusion complexes provided that the guestmolecule under-goes the significant absorption changes upon complexationThis technique can be used for the determination of CDstability constant of molecules with low solubility as wellUsing (8) the stability constants betweenLAP andnativeCDswere determined to select themost suitable hostThe stabilityconstants determined at pH 2 are listed in Table 2

Based on these data we can conclude that concerningthe size the seven-membered 120573-CD is the most suitable hostmolecule for complexation Thus further experiments werecarried out with 120573-CD and its derivatives

to characterize the geometry of inclusion complexes ROESYexperiment offers valuable information on spatial proximitybetween protons of the host and guestmolecules by observingintermolecular dipolar cross-correlations while molecularmodeling seeks the energy-minimized structure which canbe visualized at the atomic level [19 35 36]

2D NMR ROESY spectra for LAPndash120573-CD inclusion com-plex were recorded at pDlowast 2 where LAP exhibits an appro-priate solubility The expansion of this 2D spectrum inFigure 5(a) contains an intramolecular cross-peak betweenH3 (676 ppm) and H6 (352 ppm) nuclei of LAP Fromthe viewpoint of encapsulation intermolecular cross-peaksof the fluorophenyl protons (H373839) with the inner H-3(368 ppm) and H-5 (358 ppm) protons of 120573-CD are crucialDue to the fact that the H39 (749 ppm) proton of LAP givesa stronger cross-peak with the H-3 proton of the CD we canassume that the fluorophenyl moiety is accommodated in theCD cavity from the wider rim Based on ROESY datamolecularmodeling at PM3 level was carried outThe energy-minimization structure is depicted in Figure 5(b)The energyof formation of the complex was found minus107 kcalmol indi-cating that complex formation is thermodynamically favored

35 Phase-Solubility Studies Phase-solubility analysis accord-ing to Higuchi and Connors is an appropriate techniqueto demonstrate changes in drug solubility Moreover sta-bility constants and stoichiometry can also be determined[9] Upon addition of increasing amounts of CDs (120573-CD

The determined119870stab value for120573-CD byUV spectroscopyand phase-solubility is in agreement Moreover similarstability constants were determined for other cyclodextrincomplexes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors [15 16 19]The valuesin Table 3 show that the substitution of the 120573-CD enhancesinclusion complex formation stability as observed also in thecase of erlotinib [19] However in the case of imatinib themethylation of the native 120573-CD reduced the stability of thecomplex [15] which can be explained by the structural differ-ences of these anticancer drugs The largest binding constantwas observed for SBE-120573-CD which is totally ionized underthe applied conditions Thus the reason of the more stablecomplex is the additional electrostatic attractions betweenthe multiply negatively charged hosts and the dicationic LAPConcerning the solubility enhancing capabilities it can bestated that CDderivatives enhance the LAP solubility due pri-marily to the inclusion phenomenon which can be extendedby electrostatic forces The results are especially promisingwith SBE-120573-CDwheremore than 600-fold solubility increasecould be achieved

4 Conclusion

LAP the anticancer drug was characterized in terms oflipophilicity solubility acid-base and CD-complex forma-tion properties using complementary methods such asUV NMR phase-solubility and molecular modeling Animportant practical result of this work is that CDs especiallythe substituted derivatives significantly increase the LAPsolubility which can be a starting point of a new LAPformulation of improved bioavailability

molecules with adequate dimensions can be accommodatedforming a noncovalently bonded host-guest complex con-ferring an increased aqueous solubility for the encapsulatedmolecule Besides native CDs several modified derivativesare also available differing in nature position of substituentsand average degree of substitution in order to enhance theinclusion capacity and improve the physicochemical prop-erties of the parent native CDs [9 10] Many advantages ofinclusion complexation have been reported such as increasedsolubility enhanced bioavailability improved stability tasteand odor masking reduced volatility and modified drugrelease [11]

So far only a few attempts have been reported to improvethe bioavailability of LAP [12ndash14] To the best of our knowl-edge LAP-CD inclusion complex characterization has yetto be described despite the fact that CD complexation hasbeen proven to increase the solubility bioavailability andanticancer activity of other tyrosine kinase inhibitors erloti-nib gefitinib imatinib and so forth [15ndash19] moreoversulfobutylether-120573-CD was used for solubilizing LAP in someearlier studies [20 21]

Here we report the quantified biorelevant physicochemi-cal properties of LAP On the basis of the protonation con-stants lipophilicity and solubility parameters we focus onthe characterization and optimization of complex formationbetween various CDs and LAP The information presentedherein can be useful for the development of a new improvedLAP formulationThemethods used in this study includeUVand NMR spectroscopy electrospray ionization-mass spec-trometry (ESI-MS) phase-solubility and molecular model-ing

2 Materials and Methods

21 Materials All CDs (120572-CD 120573-CD 120574-CD (2-hydroxypro-pyl)-120573-CD (HP-120573-CD) random methylated 120573- (RAMEB-)CD and sulfobutylether-120573-CD (SBE-CD)) were the productsof Cyclolab RampD Ltd Hungary Degree of substitution (DS)

of HP-120573-CD RAMEB and SBE-CD was sim45 sim12 and65 respectively LAP was purchased from Eurasiarsquos LtdIndia Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) H3PO4KH2PO4 KOHNaOHHCl andKClwere of analytical gradefrom commercial suppliers D2O DCl dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) hexadeuterated dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO-1198896)and n-octanol were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich whileMeOH was from Merck Ultrapure deionized water wasprepared by a Milli-Q Direct 8 Millipore system

22 Determination of Protonation Constant by UV-pH Titra-tion The log119870 value of LAP was determined by UV-pH titration using the D-PAS ultraviolet spectropho-tometer attached to a GLpKa instrument (Sirius AnalyticalInstruments Ltd Forest Row UK) Multiwavelength UVabsorbance of the sample solutionwasmonitored throughoutthe titration using the fiber-optic probe in situ [22] The UV-pH titrations were carried out under nitrogen atmosphere atconstant ionic strength (119868 = 015MKCl) and temperature(119905 = 250 plusmn 05∘C) Due to the very low solubility of LAPthe cosolvent method was used to determine its log119870 valueThe cosolvent protonation constants (log1198701015840 values) weredetermined in six differentMeOH-watermixtures within 23ndash43 (ww) A stock LAP solution of 7mM concentration wasprepared in DMSO In each experiment 75120583L of the stocksolutions was transferred into sample vials containing 15mLof 015MKCl solution to achieve the required sample concen-tration In each experiment the acidity of the sample solutionwas adjusted using 05M HCl to about pHlowast 25 and thentitrated with 05M KOH to about pHlowast 9 Spectral data wererecorded in the 200ndash700 nm region after each pH measure-ment About 20 pH readings and absorption spectra werecollected from each titration The log1198701015840 values were calcu-lated by RefinementPro software

The measured log1198701015840 values in MeOH-water solutionswere then extrapolated to aqueous condition (zero MeOHconcentration) according to the Yasuda-Shedlovsky proce-dure [23] The Yasuda-Shedlovsky extrapolation method isbased on the linear relation between log1198701015840 and the dielectricconstant (120576) of the cosolvent mixture

log1198701015840 + log [H2O] =119886120576 + 119887 (1)

where 120576 is the dielectric constant and log[H2O] is the molarwater concentration of the givenMeOH-watermixtureThreeparallel measurements were carried out

23 Determination of the Intrinsic Solubility by Chasing Equi-librium Solubility Method (Cheqsol) The thermodynamicsolubility of the nonionized form of the samples was deter-mined by the Chasing Equilibrium Solubility (CheqSol)method [24] The apparatus used to perform the solubilitydeterminations was a GLpKa titrator and a D-PAS spectrom-eter controlled by RefinementPro and CheqSol software (Sir-ius Forest Row UK) The titrations were performed undernitrogen atmosphere at 015M ionic strength and 250plusmn05∘Cusing standardized 05M HCl and 05M KOH solutions

Three parallel measurements were carried out The imple-mentation of the experiment is described in more detail inour previous articles [19 25]

24 Partition Coefficient Measurement by the Stir-FlaskMethod The distribution coefficients were measured fromthe absorbance of the molecules before and after partitioningusing standard stir-flask method as we previously reported[26]

The partition coefficient (119875) cannot be measured directlydue to the high log119875 value of LAPTherefore the distributioncoefficient (119863) was determined at acidic pH (pH = 2) wherethemolecule is in dicationic form and at two other pH valuesat pH 583 and 611Three parallel measurements were carriedout at each pH The pH was measured using a Metrohm60204100 combined pH glass electrode and a Metrohm 780pH meter The watern-octanol phase ratio varied between250 and 600 The log119875 values of each macrospecies werecalculated based on the following equation

119863pH = 120594119894119875119894 = 120594LAP2+119875LAP2+ lowast 120594LAP+119875LAP+ lowast 120594LAP119875LAP (2)

where 120594 is the mole fraction of the corresponding macrospe-cies of the charge indicated

25 Determination of Cyclodextrin Complex Stability by UVSpectroscopy UV spectroscopic measurements were carriedout on a Jasco V-550 diode-array spectrometer (Jasco Japan)with 10mm quartz cuvettes at 25∘C

LAP was titrated with a constant amount of native CDs(120572- 120573- and 120574-CD) at pH = 2 using 001MHCl as solventA stock solution of each CD was combined with differentvolumes of LAP solutions and filled to the same volume TheUV spectra were measured against a blind solution Threeparallel measurements were carried out for each CD Thecomplex formation equilibrium can be characterized by thefollowing complex stability constant

119870stab =[CD-LAP][CD] [LAP] (3)

where [CD] [LAP] and [CD-LAP] are the equilibriumconcentrations of the CD LAP and the complex respectivelySince the total concentrations of CD ([CD]119879) and LAP([LAP]119879) are known assuming 1 1 stoichiometry we can usethe following relationships

[CD]119879 = [CD] + [CD-LAP][LAP]119879 = [LAP] + [CD-LAP]

(4)

Since absorbance of any of the CDs is negligible and noassociation other than the CD-LAP formation takes placeit can be safely assumed that only LAP and the complexcontribute significantly to the absorbance therefore themeasured absorbance at any given wavelength is the weighedlinear combination of the two absorbances (1205760 and 1205761 beingthe molar extinction coefficients of LAP and the complex at agiven wavelength resp)

119860 = 1205760 [LAP] + 1205761 [CD-LAP] (5)Since the equilibrium concentration of LAP can be expressedin terms of the total LAP and the complex concentrations theabove equation takes on the following form

119860 = 1205760 [LAP]119879 + (1205761 minus 1205760) [CD-LAP] (6)

The complex concentration can be expressedwith the stabilityconstant (119870stab) and the total concentrations

119870stab =[CD-LAP]

([CD]119879 minus [CD-LAP]) ([LAP]119879 minus [CD-LAP]) (7)

Solving the above quadratic equation for [CD-LAP] one canderive an equation for absorbance (using (6)) which if fittedonto the data provides the complex stability constant

119860 = 1205760 [LAP]119879

+ (1205761 minus 1205760)(119870stab [CD]119879 + 119870stab [LAP]119879 + 1) minus radic(119870stab [CD]119879 + 119870stab [LAP]119879 + 1)2 minus 4119870stab2 [CD]119879 [LAP]119879

The average extent of penetration and the direction ofinclusion were investigated by 2D ROESYNMR Intermolec-ular NOEs between LAP and CD protons directly involvedin the host-guest interaction were detected as cross-peaksIn these experiments the samples contained 1mM LAP and2mM 120573-CD The ROESY spectrum was recorded applyinga sweep width of 6 kHz and a spinlock of 3 kHz for amixing time of 300ms 256 increments were collected with32 repetitions and the measured data matrix was processedas a matrix of 4K (1198652) by 1K (1198651) data points

27 ESI-MS Experiments High resolution accurate massof LAP-120573-CD inclusion complex was determined with anAgilent 6230 time of flight (TOF)mass spectrometer (AgilentGermany) Samples were introduced by the Agilent 1260Infinity LC system and the mass spectrometer was operatedin conjunction with a Jet Stream electrospray ion source inpositive ion mode Reference masses of mz = 121050873and 922009798 were used to calibrate the mass axis duringanalysisThe following ion source parameterswere employedflow and temperature of the drying gas 10 Lmin and 320∘Cpressure of the nebulizer gas (N2) 45 psi capillary voltage3000V nozzle voltage 500V sheath gas flow and tempera-ture 10 Lmin and 320∘C respectively TOF-MS parameterswere as follows fragmentor voltage 300V skimmer poten-tial 170V OCT 1 RF Vpp 750V 1 120583L of sample solutioncontaining 1mM LAP and 1mM 120573-CD was directly injectedinto themass spectrometer Data were acquired in a 100ndash3000mzmass range and peaks of the hypothesized complex weresearched for in the 1000ndash3000mz intervalMass spectrawereprocessed by Agilent MassHunter B0400 software

28 Phase-Solubility Studies LAP phase-solubility studieswere performed according to the method described byHiguchi and Connors [27] Excess amount of LAP (5-6mg) was added to 5mL stock solution with increasingconcentrations of different CDs (120573-CD HP-120573-CD RAMEBand SBE-CD) at pH 20 at 015M ionic strengthThe obtainedsuspensions were stirred for 24 hours After sedimentationLAP concentrations were measured from the supernatantspectrophotometrically on a Jasco V-550 instrument at269 nmThree parallel measurements were carried out

Assuming 1 1 stoichiometry the stability constant of thecomplex (119870stab) can be determined using the phase-solubilitydiagram according to the following equation

119870stab =slope

1198780 (1 minus slope) (9)

where 1198780 is the intrinsic solubility of LAP in the absence ofCDs

29 Molecular Modeling Molecular modeling study wasperformed as previously reported [19 28 29] by usingthe semiempirical PM3 method of Hyperchem Professionalsoftware (version 80) The initial structures of neutral LAPand 120573-CD were constructed with the help of Hyperchem 80and optimized with PM3 A docking procedure was used tocalculate the energy of the complex LAP was moved into

the CD cavity from the wider rim step-by-step performing ageometry optimization after each step until the conformationwith the lowest energy was achieved The docking procedurewas repeated using different starting positions and the lowestachieved energy was considered as the optimal geometry ofthe complex

The stability of the complex was estimated from theformation energy

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physicochemical Characterization of LAP Determinationof the physicochemical properties of drugs is crucial tounderstand the pharmacokinetic behavior at the molecularlevel Therefore protonation constants octanolwater parti-tion coefficient and the intrinsic solubility of LAPwere deter-mined Due to the very low solubility of LAP the protonationconstants can only be determined by UV-pH titration withmixed-solvent procedure (Figure 2(a)) In ourmeasurementsthe MeOH-water cosolvent system was used where theapparent protonation constants (log1198701015840 values) were deter-mined in six different mixtures then the aqueous log119870s wereobtained by extrapolation using Yasuda-Shedlovsky method(see (1)) taking into account the dielectric constant of thedifferent cosolvent mixtures (Figure 2(b)) This way log1198701 =772 plusmn 007 and log1198702 = 508 plusmn 005 values were obtained

Using the protonation constants the distribution curvesfor protonation macrospecies of LAP can be depicted as afunction of the pH (Figure 3(a)) The diagram shows that inacidic media at the pH of the stomach the dicationic formis overwhelmingly dominant The compound exists mainlyin monocationic form at the pH of the blood (674) AbovepH 8 the neutral form dominates which plays a crucial rolein the transport mechanism in general assuming that orallyadministrated LAP is absorbed mainly from the intestine

Lipophilicity of LAP was characterized in terms of par-tition coefficient which is the most widely used descriptorof lipophilicity in QSAR studies [30] The working range ofthe used stir-flask method is minus4 to +4 in log119863 values limitedby the accuracy of the phase volume measurement Based onthis fact the octanolwater partition coefficient at pH valueswhere the nonionized form dominates cannot be measureddirectly due to the very high log119875 value of LAP Thereforethe log119863 values were measured at lower pHs At pH 2 wherethe molecule is practically 100 dicationic the measuredlog119863pH 2 = 271 plusmn 006 characterizes the lipophilicity of thedicationic species From log119863 values at pH 583 (367plusmn007)pH 611 (390 plusmn 008) and pH 2 (271 plusmn 006) the log119875 valueof the monocationic and neutral species could be calculatedusing (2)The values are summarized in Table 1 while the pH-dependent lipophilicity profile of LAP is in Figure 3(b)

These values indicate that LAP is an extremely lipophilicmolecule and even the dicationic form has the capability topenetrate membranes by passive diffusion These high log119875values also explain the ability of LAP to cross the blood-brainbarrier which could be a further therapeutic approach in

between LAP and CDs were characterized in solution witha wide variety of complementary analytical techniquesand approaches such as phase-solubility studies 1H and2D NMR techniques UV spectroscopy and electrosprayionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS)

32 Determination of LAP-120573-CD Stoichiometry NMR Job Plotand ESI-TOF-MS Studies In order to draw adequate conclu-sions on the inclusion process the knowledge of selector-selectand complexation stoichiometry is a prerequisite Thegeneral method to determine complex stoichiometry is Jobrsquoscontinuous variation method In this experiment the 1HNMR chemical shifts (120575) were measured at different LAPconcentration120573-CD concentration (119888LAP119888CD) ratios whilethe sum of 119888LAP + 119888CD was kept constant The calculatedfactors (Δ120575120594LAP) were plotted as a function of LAP molarratio (120594LAP) In all cases the resulting Job plot diagramsshowed maxima at 05 indicating the typical 1 1 bindingstoichiometry Representative Job plot curves of LAP and 120573-CD are shown in Figure 4(a)

The complex stoichiometry was also studied by ESI-TOF-MS technique which provides a powerful means to studynoncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes between a CDand the guest molecule [32] A large number of publicationsprove that a simple fast ESI-MS analysis is suitable for the de-termination of inclusion complex stoichiometry [15 19 33]

however ESI-MS studies imply the question whether theobserved peaks represent actual inclusion complexes orrather electrostatic adducts formed during the electrosprayprocess [34] if however additional adequate techniquesprove that the complex formation ESI-MS is straightforwardway to determine complex stoichiometry Analyzing the MSspectra in the 100ndash1500mz range the protonated molecularion of the uncomplexed LAP (mz 5811419 [M+H]+) theirsource fragment ion (mz 4581027 [M+H]+) and the charac-teristic mz values of uncomplexed 120573-CD (mz 11353732[M+H]+ 11573531 [M+Na]+) can be observed Figure 4(b)shows the renormalized upper part (1500ndash3000 mz) of themass spectrum of a sample containing LAP and 120573-CD in 1 2molar ratio The observed signal at mz 17155157 with gen-erated C71H96ClFN4O39S molecular formula corresponds tothe LAP-120573-CD 1 1 inclusion complex whichmeans that ESI-TOF-MS confirms the NMR Job result verifying the 1 1 stoi-chiometry

33 Determination of Stability Constant by UV UV spec-troscopy can be a sensitive technique to characterize the CDinclusion complexes provided that the guestmolecule under-goes the significant absorption changes upon complexationThis technique can be used for the determination of CDstability constant of molecules with low solubility as wellUsing (8) the stability constants betweenLAP andnativeCDswere determined to select themost suitable hostThe stabilityconstants determined at pH 2 are listed in Table 2

Based on these data we can conclude that concerningthe size the seven-membered 120573-CD is the most suitable hostmolecule for complexation Thus further experiments werecarried out with 120573-CD and its derivatives

to characterize the geometry of inclusion complexes ROESYexperiment offers valuable information on spatial proximitybetween protons of the host and guestmolecules by observingintermolecular dipolar cross-correlations while molecularmodeling seeks the energy-minimized structure which canbe visualized at the atomic level [19 35 36]

2D NMR ROESY spectra for LAPndash120573-CD inclusion com-plex were recorded at pDlowast 2 where LAP exhibits an appro-priate solubility The expansion of this 2D spectrum inFigure 5(a) contains an intramolecular cross-peak betweenH3 (676 ppm) and H6 (352 ppm) nuclei of LAP Fromthe viewpoint of encapsulation intermolecular cross-peaksof the fluorophenyl protons (H373839) with the inner H-3(368 ppm) and H-5 (358 ppm) protons of 120573-CD are crucialDue to the fact that the H39 (749 ppm) proton of LAP givesa stronger cross-peak with the H-3 proton of the CD we canassume that the fluorophenyl moiety is accommodated in theCD cavity from the wider rim Based on ROESY datamolecularmodeling at PM3 level was carried outThe energy-minimization structure is depicted in Figure 5(b)The energyof formation of the complex was found minus107 kcalmol indi-cating that complex formation is thermodynamically favored

35 Phase-Solubility Studies Phase-solubility analysis accord-ing to Higuchi and Connors is an appropriate techniqueto demonstrate changes in drug solubility Moreover sta-bility constants and stoichiometry can also be determined[9] Upon addition of increasing amounts of CDs (120573-CD

The resulting AL-type linear positive isotherms reveal1 1 binding stoichiometry further supporting Job plot andESI-TOF-MS results The 119870stab values calculated by (9) aresummarized in Table 3

The determined119870stab value for120573-CD byUV spectroscopyand phase-solubility is in agreement Moreover similarstability constants were determined for other cyclodextrincomplexes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors [15 16 19]The valuesin Table 3 show that the substitution of the 120573-CD enhancesinclusion complex formation stability as observed also in thecase of erlotinib [19] However in the case of imatinib themethylation of the native 120573-CD reduced the stability of thecomplex [15] which can be explained by the structural differ-ences of these anticancer drugs The largest binding constantwas observed for SBE-120573-CD which is totally ionized underthe applied conditions Thus the reason of the more stablecomplex is the additional electrostatic attractions betweenthe multiply negatively charged hosts and the dicationic LAPConcerning the solubility enhancing capabilities it can bestated that CDderivatives enhance the LAP solubility due pri-marily to the inclusion phenomenon which can be extendedby electrostatic forces The results are especially promisingwith SBE-120573-CDwheremore than 600-fold solubility increasecould be achieved

4 Conclusion

LAP the anticancer drug was characterized in terms oflipophilicity solubility acid-base and CD-complex forma-tion properties using complementary methods such asUV NMR phase-solubility and molecular modeling Animportant practical result of this work is that CDs especiallythe substituted derivatives significantly increase the LAPsolubility which can be a starting point of a new LAPformulation of improved bioavailability

The partition coefficient (119875) cannot be measured directlydue to the high log119875 value of LAPTherefore the distributioncoefficient (119863) was determined at acidic pH (pH = 2) wherethemolecule is in dicationic form and at two other pH valuesat pH 583 and 611Three parallel measurements were carriedout at each pH The pH was measured using a Metrohm60204100 combined pH glass electrode and a Metrohm 780pH meter The watern-octanol phase ratio varied between250 and 600 The log119875 values of each macrospecies werecalculated based on the following equation

119863pH = 120594119894119875119894 = 120594LAP2+119875LAP2+ lowast 120594LAP+119875LAP+ lowast 120594LAP119875LAP (2)

where 120594 is the mole fraction of the corresponding macrospe-cies of the charge indicated

25 Determination of Cyclodextrin Complex Stability by UVSpectroscopy UV spectroscopic measurements were carriedout on a Jasco V-550 diode-array spectrometer (Jasco Japan)with 10mm quartz cuvettes at 25∘C

LAP was titrated with a constant amount of native CDs(120572- 120573- and 120574-CD) at pH = 2 using 001MHCl as solventA stock solution of each CD was combined with differentvolumes of LAP solutions and filled to the same volume TheUV spectra were measured against a blind solution Threeparallel measurements were carried out for each CD Thecomplex formation equilibrium can be characterized by thefollowing complex stability constant

119870stab =[CD-LAP][CD] [LAP] (3)

where [CD] [LAP] and [CD-LAP] are the equilibriumconcentrations of the CD LAP and the complex respectivelySince the total concentrations of CD ([CD]119879) and LAP([LAP]119879) are known assuming 1 1 stoichiometry we can usethe following relationships

[CD]119879 = [CD] + [CD-LAP][LAP]119879 = [LAP] + [CD-LAP]

(4)

Since absorbance of any of the CDs is negligible and noassociation other than the CD-LAP formation takes placeit can be safely assumed that only LAP and the complexcontribute significantly to the absorbance therefore themeasured absorbance at any given wavelength is the weighedlinear combination of the two absorbances (1205760 and 1205761 beingthe molar extinction coefficients of LAP and the complex at agiven wavelength resp)

119860 = 1205760 [LAP] + 1205761 [CD-LAP] (5)Since the equilibrium concentration of LAP can be expressedin terms of the total LAP and the complex concentrations theabove equation takes on the following form

119860 = 1205760 [LAP]119879 + (1205761 minus 1205760) [CD-LAP] (6)

The complex concentration can be expressedwith the stabilityconstant (119870stab) and the total concentrations

119870stab =[CD-LAP]

([CD]119879 minus [CD-LAP]) ([LAP]119879 minus [CD-LAP]) (7)

Solving the above quadratic equation for [CD-LAP] one canderive an equation for absorbance (using (6)) which if fittedonto the data provides the complex stability constant

119860 = 1205760 [LAP]119879

+ (1205761 minus 1205760)(119870stab [CD]119879 + 119870stab [LAP]119879 + 1) minus radic(119870stab [CD]119879 + 119870stab [LAP]119879 + 1)2 minus 4119870stab2 [CD]119879 [LAP]119879

Multiple fitting was performed with Opium program

26 NMR Measurements All NMR measurements werecarried out on an AgilentVarian VNMRS spectrometer(600MHz for 1H) with a 5mm inverse-detection gradientprobehead inD2ODMSO-1198896 73 (vv)mixtures at 25∘C pDlowastwas set to 2 using DCl solution Addition of DMSO-1198896 wasnecessary due to the low solubility of LAP in aqueous solventseven at acidic pH The chemical shifts were referenced to the

solvent signal of internal DMSO Standard pulse sequencesand processing routines available in VnmrJ 22CChempack40 were used

For determination of complex stoichiometry Jobrsquos con-tinuous variation method was used Solutions were preparedfrom LAP and 120573-CD in complementary amounts tomake upa 15mM summary concentration The solutions were mixedin different ratios and the 1H NMR spectra were recordedafter 24 h

The average extent of penetration and the direction ofinclusion were investigated by 2D ROESYNMR Intermolec-ular NOEs between LAP and CD protons directly involvedin the host-guest interaction were detected as cross-peaksIn these experiments the samples contained 1mM LAP and2mM 120573-CD The ROESY spectrum was recorded applyinga sweep width of 6 kHz and a spinlock of 3 kHz for amixing time of 300ms 256 increments were collected with32 repetitions and the measured data matrix was processedas a matrix of 4K (1198652) by 1K (1198651) data points

27 ESI-MS Experiments High resolution accurate massof LAP-120573-CD inclusion complex was determined with anAgilent 6230 time of flight (TOF)mass spectrometer (AgilentGermany) Samples were introduced by the Agilent 1260Infinity LC system and the mass spectrometer was operatedin conjunction with a Jet Stream electrospray ion source inpositive ion mode Reference masses of mz = 121050873and 922009798 were used to calibrate the mass axis duringanalysisThe following ion source parameterswere employedflow and temperature of the drying gas 10 Lmin and 320∘Cpressure of the nebulizer gas (N2) 45 psi capillary voltage3000V nozzle voltage 500V sheath gas flow and tempera-ture 10 Lmin and 320∘C respectively TOF-MS parameterswere as follows fragmentor voltage 300V skimmer poten-tial 170V OCT 1 RF Vpp 750V 1 120583L of sample solutioncontaining 1mM LAP and 1mM 120573-CD was directly injectedinto themass spectrometer Data were acquired in a 100ndash3000mzmass range and peaks of the hypothesized complex weresearched for in the 1000ndash3000mz intervalMass spectrawereprocessed by Agilent MassHunter B0400 software

28 Phase-Solubility Studies LAP phase-solubility studieswere performed according to the method described byHiguchi and Connors [27] Excess amount of LAP (5-6mg) was added to 5mL stock solution with increasingconcentrations of different CDs (120573-CD HP-120573-CD RAMEBand SBE-CD) at pH 20 at 015M ionic strengthThe obtainedsuspensions were stirred for 24 hours After sedimentationLAP concentrations were measured from the supernatantspectrophotometrically on a Jasco V-550 instrument at269 nmThree parallel measurements were carried out

Assuming 1 1 stoichiometry the stability constant of thecomplex (119870stab) can be determined using the phase-solubilitydiagram according to the following equation

119870stab =slope

1198780 (1 minus slope) (9)

where 1198780 is the intrinsic solubility of LAP in the absence ofCDs

29 Molecular Modeling Molecular modeling study wasperformed as previously reported [19 28 29] by usingthe semiempirical PM3 method of Hyperchem Professionalsoftware (version 80) The initial structures of neutral LAPand 120573-CD were constructed with the help of Hyperchem 80and optimized with PM3 A docking procedure was used tocalculate the energy of the complex LAP was moved into

the CD cavity from the wider rim step-by-step performing ageometry optimization after each step until the conformationwith the lowest energy was achieved The docking procedurewas repeated using different starting positions and the lowestachieved energy was considered as the optimal geometry ofthe complex

The stability of the complex was estimated from theformation energy

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physicochemical Characterization of LAP Determinationof the physicochemical properties of drugs is crucial tounderstand the pharmacokinetic behavior at the molecularlevel Therefore protonation constants octanolwater parti-tion coefficient and the intrinsic solubility of LAPwere deter-mined Due to the very low solubility of LAP the protonationconstants can only be determined by UV-pH titration withmixed-solvent procedure (Figure 2(a)) In ourmeasurementsthe MeOH-water cosolvent system was used where theapparent protonation constants (log1198701015840 values) were deter-mined in six different mixtures then the aqueous log119870s wereobtained by extrapolation using Yasuda-Shedlovsky method(see (1)) taking into account the dielectric constant of thedifferent cosolvent mixtures (Figure 2(b)) This way log1198701 =772 plusmn 007 and log1198702 = 508 plusmn 005 values were obtained

Using the protonation constants the distribution curvesfor protonation macrospecies of LAP can be depicted as afunction of the pH (Figure 3(a)) The diagram shows that inacidic media at the pH of the stomach the dicationic formis overwhelmingly dominant The compound exists mainlyin monocationic form at the pH of the blood (674) AbovepH 8 the neutral form dominates which plays a crucial rolein the transport mechanism in general assuming that orallyadministrated LAP is absorbed mainly from the intestine

Lipophilicity of LAP was characterized in terms of par-tition coefficient which is the most widely used descriptorof lipophilicity in QSAR studies [30] The working range ofthe used stir-flask method is minus4 to +4 in log119863 values limitedby the accuracy of the phase volume measurement Based onthis fact the octanolwater partition coefficient at pH valueswhere the nonionized form dominates cannot be measureddirectly due to the very high log119875 value of LAP Thereforethe log119863 values were measured at lower pHs At pH 2 wherethe molecule is practically 100 dicationic the measuredlog119863pH 2 = 271 plusmn 006 characterizes the lipophilicity of thedicationic species From log119863 values at pH 583 (367plusmn007)pH 611 (390 plusmn 008) and pH 2 (271 plusmn 006) the log119875 valueof the monocationic and neutral species could be calculatedusing (2)The values are summarized in Table 1 while the pH-dependent lipophilicity profile of LAP is in Figure 3(b)

These values indicate that LAP is an extremely lipophilicmolecule and even the dicationic form has the capability topenetrate membranes by passive diffusion These high log119875values also explain the ability of LAP to cross the blood-brainbarrier which could be a further therapeutic approach in

between LAP and CDs were characterized in solution witha wide variety of complementary analytical techniquesand approaches such as phase-solubility studies 1H and2D NMR techniques UV spectroscopy and electrosprayionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS)

32 Determination of LAP-120573-CD Stoichiometry NMR Job Plotand ESI-TOF-MS Studies In order to draw adequate conclu-sions on the inclusion process the knowledge of selector-selectand complexation stoichiometry is a prerequisite Thegeneral method to determine complex stoichiometry is Jobrsquoscontinuous variation method In this experiment the 1HNMR chemical shifts (120575) were measured at different LAPconcentration120573-CD concentration (119888LAP119888CD) ratios whilethe sum of 119888LAP + 119888CD was kept constant The calculatedfactors (Δ120575120594LAP) were plotted as a function of LAP molarratio (120594LAP) In all cases the resulting Job plot diagramsshowed maxima at 05 indicating the typical 1 1 bindingstoichiometry Representative Job plot curves of LAP and 120573-CD are shown in Figure 4(a)

The complex stoichiometry was also studied by ESI-TOF-MS technique which provides a powerful means to studynoncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes between a CDand the guest molecule [32] A large number of publicationsprove that a simple fast ESI-MS analysis is suitable for the de-termination of inclusion complex stoichiometry [15 19 33]

however ESI-MS studies imply the question whether theobserved peaks represent actual inclusion complexes orrather electrostatic adducts formed during the electrosprayprocess [34] if however additional adequate techniquesprove that the complex formation ESI-MS is straightforwardway to determine complex stoichiometry Analyzing the MSspectra in the 100ndash1500mz range the protonated molecularion of the uncomplexed LAP (mz 5811419 [M+H]+) theirsource fragment ion (mz 4581027 [M+H]+) and the charac-teristic mz values of uncomplexed 120573-CD (mz 11353732[M+H]+ 11573531 [M+Na]+) can be observed Figure 4(b)shows the renormalized upper part (1500ndash3000 mz) of themass spectrum of a sample containing LAP and 120573-CD in 1 2molar ratio The observed signal at mz 17155157 with gen-erated C71H96ClFN4O39S molecular formula corresponds tothe LAP-120573-CD 1 1 inclusion complex whichmeans that ESI-TOF-MS confirms the NMR Job result verifying the 1 1 stoi-chiometry

33 Determination of Stability Constant by UV UV spec-troscopy can be a sensitive technique to characterize the CDinclusion complexes provided that the guestmolecule under-goes the significant absorption changes upon complexationThis technique can be used for the determination of CDstability constant of molecules with low solubility as wellUsing (8) the stability constants betweenLAP andnativeCDswere determined to select themost suitable hostThe stabilityconstants determined at pH 2 are listed in Table 2

Based on these data we can conclude that concerningthe size the seven-membered 120573-CD is the most suitable hostmolecule for complexation Thus further experiments werecarried out with 120573-CD and its derivatives

to characterize the geometry of inclusion complexes ROESYexperiment offers valuable information on spatial proximitybetween protons of the host and guestmolecules by observingintermolecular dipolar cross-correlations while molecularmodeling seeks the energy-minimized structure which canbe visualized at the atomic level [19 35 36]

2D NMR ROESY spectra for LAPndash120573-CD inclusion com-plex were recorded at pDlowast 2 where LAP exhibits an appro-priate solubility The expansion of this 2D spectrum inFigure 5(a) contains an intramolecular cross-peak betweenH3 (676 ppm) and H6 (352 ppm) nuclei of LAP Fromthe viewpoint of encapsulation intermolecular cross-peaksof the fluorophenyl protons (H373839) with the inner H-3(368 ppm) and H-5 (358 ppm) protons of 120573-CD are crucialDue to the fact that the H39 (749 ppm) proton of LAP givesa stronger cross-peak with the H-3 proton of the CD we canassume that the fluorophenyl moiety is accommodated in theCD cavity from the wider rim Based on ROESY datamolecularmodeling at PM3 level was carried outThe energy-minimization structure is depicted in Figure 5(b)The energyof formation of the complex was found minus107 kcalmol indi-cating that complex formation is thermodynamically favored

35 Phase-Solubility Studies Phase-solubility analysis accord-ing to Higuchi and Connors is an appropriate techniqueto demonstrate changes in drug solubility Moreover sta-bility constants and stoichiometry can also be determined[9] Upon addition of increasing amounts of CDs (120573-CD

The determined119870stab value for120573-CD byUV spectroscopyand phase-solubility is in agreement Moreover similarstability constants were determined for other cyclodextrincomplexes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors [15 16 19]The valuesin Table 3 show that the substitution of the 120573-CD enhancesinclusion complex formation stability as observed also in thecase of erlotinib [19] However in the case of imatinib themethylation of the native 120573-CD reduced the stability of thecomplex [15] which can be explained by the structural differ-ences of these anticancer drugs The largest binding constantwas observed for SBE-120573-CD which is totally ionized underthe applied conditions Thus the reason of the more stablecomplex is the additional electrostatic attractions betweenthe multiply negatively charged hosts and the dicationic LAPConcerning the solubility enhancing capabilities it can bestated that CDderivatives enhance the LAP solubility due pri-marily to the inclusion phenomenon which can be extendedby electrostatic forces The results are especially promisingwith SBE-120573-CDwheremore than 600-fold solubility increasecould be achieved

The average extent of penetration and the direction ofinclusion were investigated by 2D ROESYNMR Intermolec-ular NOEs between LAP and CD protons directly involvedin the host-guest interaction were detected as cross-peaksIn these experiments the samples contained 1mM LAP and2mM 120573-CD The ROESY spectrum was recorded applyinga sweep width of 6 kHz and a spinlock of 3 kHz for amixing time of 300ms 256 increments were collected with32 repetitions and the measured data matrix was processedas a matrix of 4K (1198652) by 1K (1198651) data points

27 ESI-MS Experiments High resolution accurate massof LAP-120573-CD inclusion complex was determined with anAgilent 6230 time of flight (TOF)mass spectrometer (AgilentGermany) Samples were introduced by the Agilent 1260Infinity LC system and the mass spectrometer was operatedin conjunction with a Jet Stream electrospray ion source inpositive ion mode Reference masses of mz = 121050873and 922009798 were used to calibrate the mass axis duringanalysisThe following ion source parameterswere employedflow and temperature of the drying gas 10 Lmin and 320∘Cpressure of the nebulizer gas (N2) 45 psi capillary voltage3000V nozzle voltage 500V sheath gas flow and tempera-ture 10 Lmin and 320∘C respectively TOF-MS parameterswere as follows fragmentor voltage 300V skimmer poten-tial 170V OCT 1 RF Vpp 750V 1 120583L of sample solutioncontaining 1mM LAP and 1mM 120573-CD was directly injectedinto themass spectrometer Data were acquired in a 100ndash3000mzmass range and peaks of the hypothesized complex weresearched for in the 1000ndash3000mz intervalMass spectrawereprocessed by Agilent MassHunter B0400 software

28 Phase-Solubility Studies LAP phase-solubility studieswere performed according to the method described byHiguchi and Connors [27] Excess amount of LAP (5-6mg) was added to 5mL stock solution with increasingconcentrations of different CDs (120573-CD HP-120573-CD RAMEBand SBE-CD) at pH 20 at 015M ionic strengthThe obtainedsuspensions were stirred for 24 hours After sedimentationLAP concentrations were measured from the supernatantspectrophotometrically on a Jasco V-550 instrument at269 nmThree parallel measurements were carried out

Assuming 1 1 stoichiometry the stability constant of thecomplex (119870stab) can be determined using the phase-solubilitydiagram according to the following equation

119870stab =slope

1198780 (1 minus slope) (9)

where 1198780 is the intrinsic solubility of LAP in the absence ofCDs

29 Molecular Modeling Molecular modeling study wasperformed as previously reported [19 28 29] by usingthe semiempirical PM3 method of Hyperchem Professionalsoftware (version 80) The initial structures of neutral LAPand 120573-CD were constructed with the help of Hyperchem 80and optimized with PM3 A docking procedure was used tocalculate the energy of the complex LAP was moved into

the CD cavity from the wider rim step-by-step performing ageometry optimization after each step until the conformationwith the lowest energy was achieved The docking procedurewas repeated using different starting positions and the lowestachieved energy was considered as the optimal geometry ofthe complex

The stability of the complex was estimated from theformation energy

3 Results and Discussion

31 Physicochemical Characterization of LAP Determinationof the physicochemical properties of drugs is crucial tounderstand the pharmacokinetic behavior at the molecularlevel Therefore protonation constants octanolwater parti-tion coefficient and the intrinsic solubility of LAPwere deter-mined Due to the very low solubility of LAP the protonationconstants can only be determined by UV-pH titration withmixed-solvent procedure (Figure 2(a)) In ourmeasurementsthe MeOH-water cosolvent system was used where theapparent protonation constants (log1198701015840 values) were deter-mined in six different mixtures then the aqueous log119870s wereobtained by extrapolation using Yasuda-Shedlovsky method(see (1)) taking into account the dielectric constant of thedifferent cosolvent mixtures (Figure 2(b)) This way log1198701 =772 plusmn 007 and log1198702 = 508 plusmn 005 values were obtained

Using the protonation constants the distribution curvesfor protonation macrospecies of LAP can be depicted as afunction of the pH (Figure 3(a)) The diagram shows that inacidic media at the pH of the stomach the dicationic formis overwhelmingly dominant The compound exists mainlyin monocationic form at the pH of the blood (674) AbovepH 8 the neutral form dominates which plays a crucial rolein the transport mechanism in general assuming that orallyadministrated LAP is absorbed mainly from the intestine

Lipophilicity of LAP was characterized in terms of par-tition coefficient which is the most widely used descriptorof lipophilicity in QSAR studies [30] The working range ofthe used stir-flask method is minus4 to +4 in log119863 values limitedby the accuracy of the phase volume measurement Based onthis fact the octanolwater partition coefficient at pH valueswhere the nonionized form dominates cannot be measureddirectly due to the very high log119875 value of LAP Thereforethe log119863 values were measured at lower pHs At pH 2 wherethe molecule is practically 100 dicationic the measuredlog119863pH 2 = 271 plusmn 006 characterizes the lipophilicity of thedicationic species From log119863 values at pH 583 (367plusmn007)pH 611 (390 plusmn 008) and pH 2 (271 plusmn 006) the log119875 valueof the monocationic and neutral species could be calculatedusing (2)The values are summarized in Table 1 while the pH-dependent lipophilicity profile of LAP is in Figure 3(b)

These values indicate that LAP is an extremely lipophilicmolecule and even the dicationic form has the capability topenetrate membranes by passive diffusion These high log119875values also explain the ability of LAP to cross the blood-brainbarrier which could be a further therapeutic approach in

quantify that the very poor solubility is the Achilles heelof the LAP administration It is the root cause for the lowbioavailability of the drug the necessity of taking very highdoses These problems could be alleviated by enhancing LAPsolubility through CD inclusion complexation For furtherpharmaceutical formulation development optimization ofCD-complex formation is crucial therefore interactions

between LAP and CDs were characterized in solution witha wide variety of complementary analytical techniquesand approaches such as phase-solubility studies 1H and2D NMR techniques UV spectroscopy and electrosprayionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS)

32 Determination of LAP-120573-CD Stoichiometry NMR Job Plotand ESI-TOF-MS Studies In order to draw adequate conclu-sions on the inclusion process the knowledge of selector-selectand complexation stoichiometry is a prerequisite Thegeneral method to determine complex stoichiometry is Jobrsquoscontinuous variation method In this experiment the 1HNMR chemical shifts (120575) were measured at different LAPconcentration120573-CD concentration (119888LAP119888CD) ratios whilethe sum of 119888LAP + 119888CD was kept constant The calculatedfactors (Δ120575120594LAP) were plotted as a function of LAP molarratio (120594LAP) In all cases the resulting Job plot diagramsshowed maxima at 05 indicating the typical 1 1 bindingstoichiometry Representative Job plot curves of LAP and 120573-CD are shown in Figure 4(a)

The complex stoichiometry was also studied by ESI-TOF-MS technique which provides a powerful means to studynoncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes between a CDand the guest molecule [32] A large number of publicationsprove that a simple fast ESI-MS analysis is suitable for the de-termination of inclusion complex stoichiometry [15 19 33]

however ESI-MS studies imply the question whether theobserved peaks represent actual inclusion complexes orrather electrostatic adducts formed during the electrosprayprocess [34] if however additional adequate techniquesprove that the complex formation ESI-MS is straightforwardway to determine complex stoichiometry Analyzing the MSspectra in the 100ndash1500mz range the protonated molecularion of the uncomplexed LAP (mz 5811419 [M+H]+) theirsource fragment ion (mz 4581027 [M+H]+) and the charac-teristic mz values of uncomplexed 120573-CD (mz 11353732[M+H]+ 11573531 [M+Na]+) can be observed Figure 4(b)shows the renormalized upper part (1500ndash3000 mz) of themass spectrum of a sample containing LAP and 120573-CD in 1 2molar ratio The observed signal at mz 17155157 with gen-erated C71H96ClFN4O39S molecular formula corresponds tothe LAP-120573-CD 1 1 inclusion complex whichmeans that ESI-TOF-MS confirms the NMR Job result verifying the 1 1 stoi-chiometry

33 Determination of Stability Constant by UV UV spec-troscopy can be a sensitive technique to characterize the CDinclusion complexes provided that the guestmolecule under-goes the significant absorption changes upon complexationThis technique can be used for the determination of CDstability constant of molecules with low solubility as wellUsing (8) the stability constants betweenLAP andnativeCDswere determined to select themost suitable hostThe stabilityconstants determined at pH 2 are listed in Table 2

Based on these data we can conclude that concerningthe size the seven-membered 120573-CD is the most suitable hostmolecule for complexation Thus further experiments werecarried out with 120573-CD and its derivatives

to characterize the geometry of inclusion complexes ROESYexperiment offers valuable information on spatial proximitybetween protons of the host and guestmolecules by observingintermolecular dipolar cross-correlations while molecularmodeling seeks the energy-minimized structure which canbe visualized at the atomic level [19 35 36]

2D NMR ROESY spectra for LAPndash120573-CD inclusion com-plex were recorded at pDlowast 2 where LAP exhibits an appro-priate solubility The expansion of this 2D spectrum inFigure 5(a) contains an intramolecular cross-peak betweenH3 (676 ppm) and H6 (352 ppm) nuclei of LAP Fromthe viewpoint of encapsulation intermolecular cross-peaksof the fluorophenyl protons (H373839) with the inner H-3(368 ppm) and H-5 (358 ppm) protons of 120573-CD are crucialDue to the fact that the H39 (749 ppm) proton of LAP givesa stronger cross-peak with the H-3 proton of the CD we canassume that the fluorophenyl moiety is accommodated in theCD cavity from the wider rim Based on ROESY datamolecularmodeling at PM3 level was carried outThe energy-minimization structure is depicted in Figure 5(b)The energyof formation of the complex was found minus107 kcalmol indi-cating that complex formation is thermodynamically favored

35 Phase-Solubility Studies Phase-solubility analysis accord-ing to Higuchi and Connors is an appropriate techniqueto demonstrate changes in drug solubility Moreover sta-bility constants and stoichiometry can also be determined[9] Upon addition of increasing amounts of CDs (120573-CD

The resulting AL-type linear positive isotherms reveal1 1 binding stoichiometry further supporting Job plot andESI-TOF-MS results The 119870stab values calculated by (9) aresummarized in Table 3

The determined119870stab value for120573-CD byUV spectroscopyand phase-solubility is in agreement Moreover similarstability constants were determined for other cyclodextrincomplexes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors [15 16 19]The valuesin Table 3 show that the substitution of the 120573-CD enhancesinclusion complex formation stability as observed also in thecase of erlotinib [19] However in the case of imatinib themethylation of the native 120573-CD reduced the stability of thecomplex [15] which can be explained by the structural differ-ences of these anticancer drugs The largest binding constantwas observed for SBE-120573-CD which is totally ionized underthe applied conditions Thus the reason of the more stablecomplex is the additional electrostatic attractions betweenthe multiply negatively charged hosts and the dicationic LAPConcerning the solubility enhancing capabilities it can bestated that CDderivatives enhance the LAP solubility due pri-marily to the inclusion phenomenon which can be extendedby electrostatic forces The results are especially promisingwith SBE-120573-CDwheremore than 600-fold solubility increasecould be achieved

4 Conclusion

LAP the anticancer drug was characterized in terms oflipophilicity solubility acid-base and CD-complex forma-tion properties using complementary methods such asUV NMR phase-solubility and molecular modeling Animportant practical result of this work is that CDs especiallythe substituted derivatives significantly increase the LAPsolubility which can be a starting point of a new LAPformulation of improved bioavailability

brainmetastasis [31] As a part of our LAPprofiling its intrin-sic solubility (the equilibrium solubility of the nonionizedform) was measured by the CheqSol method which resultedin a value of only 048 ngmL LAP is a class II drug in theBiopharmaceutics Classification System being of low watersolubility and high permeability which is in good agreementwith our determined physicochemical values These data

quantify that the very poor solubility is the Achilles heelof the LAP administration It is the root cause for the lowbioavailability of the drug the necessity of taking very highdoses These problems could be alleviated by enhancing LAPsolubility through CD inclusion complexation For furtherpharmaceutical formulation development optimization ofCD-complex formation is crucial therefore interactions

between LAP and CDs were characterized in solution witha wide variety of complementary analytical techniquesand approaches such as phase-solubility studies 1H and2D NMR techniques UV spectroscopy and electrosprayionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS)

32 Determination of LAP-120573-CD Stoichiometry NMR Job Plotand ESI-TOF-MS Studies In order to draw adequate conclu-sions on the inclusion process the knowledge of selector-selectand complexation stoichiometry is a prerequisite Thegeneral method to determine complex stoichiometry is Jobrsquoscontinuous variation method In this experiment the 1HNMR chemical shifts (120575) were measured at different LAPconcentration120573-CD concentration (119888LAP119888CD) ratios whilethe sum of 119888LAP + 119888CD was kept constant The calculatedfactors (Δ120575120594LAP) were plotted as a function of LAP molarratio (120594LAP) In all cases the resulting Job plot diagramsshowed maxima at 05 indicating the typical 1 1 bindingstoichiometry Representative Job plot curves of LAP and 120573-CD are shown in Figure 4(a)

The complex stoichiometry was also studied by ESI-TOF-MS technique which provides a powerful means to studynoncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes between a CDand the guest molecule [32] A large number of publicationsprove that a simple fast ESI-MS analysis is suitable for the de-termination of inclusion complex stoichiometry [15 19 33]

however ESI-MS studies imply the question whether theobserved peaks represent actual inclusion complexes orrather electrostatic adducts formed during the electrosprayprocess [34] if however additional adequate techniquesprove that the complex formation ESI-MS is straightforwardway to determine complex stoichiometry Analyzing the MSspectra in the 100ndash1500mz range the protonated molecularion of the uncomplexed LAP (mz 5811419 [M+H]+) theirsource fragment ion (mz 4581027 [M+H]+) and the charac-teristic mz values of uncomplexed 120573-CD (mz 11353732[M+H]+ 11573531 [M+Na]+) can be observed Figure 4(b)shows the renormalized upper part (1500ndash3000 mz) of themass spectrum of a sample containing LAP and 120573-CD in 1 2molar ratio The observed signal at mz 17155157 with gen-erated C71H96ClFN4O39S molecular formula corresponds tothe LAP-120573-CD 1 1 inclusion complex whichmeans that ESI-TOF-MS confirms the NMR Job result verifying the 1 1 stoi-chiometry

33 Determination of Stability Constant by UV UV spec-troscopy can be a sensitive technique to characterize the CDinclusion complexes provided that the guestmolecule under-goes the significant absorption changes upon complexationThis technique can be used for the determination of CDstability constant of molecules with low solubility as wellUsing (8) the stability constants betweenLAP andnativeCDswere determined to select themost suitable hostThe stabilityconstants determined at pH 2 are listed in Table 2

Based on these data we can conclude that concerningthe size the seven-membered 120573-CD is the most suitable hostmolecule for complexation Thus further experiments werecarried out with 120573-CD and its derivatives

to characterize the geometry of inclusion complexes ROESYexperiment offers valuable information on spatial proximitybetween protons of the host and guestmolecules by observingintermolecular dipolar cross-correlations while molecularmodeling seeks the energy-minimized structure which canbe visualized at the atomic level [19 35 36]

2D NMR ROESY spectra for LAPndash120573-CD inclusion com-plex were recorded at pDlowast 2 where LAP exhibits an appro-priate solubility The expansion of this 2D spectrum inFigure 5(a) contains an intramolecular cross-peak betweenH3 (676 ppm) and H6 (352 ppm) nuclei of LAP Fromthe viewpoint of encapsulation intermolecular cross-peaksof the fluorophenyl protons (H373839) with the inner H-3(368 ppm) and H-5 (358 ppm) protons of 120573-CD are crucialDue to the fact that the H39 (749 ppm) proton of LAP givesa stronger cross-peak with the H-3 proton of the CD we canassume that the fluorophenyl moiety is accommodated in theCD cavity from the wider rim Based on ROESY datamolecularmodeling at PM3 level was carried outThe energy-minimization structure is depicted in Figure 5(b)The energyof formation of the complex was found minus107 kcalmol indi-cating that complex formation is thermodynamically favored

35 Phase-Solubility Studies Phase-solubility analysis accord-ing to Higuchi and Connors is an appropriate techniqueto demonstrate changes in drug solubility Moreover sta-bility constants and stoichiometry can also be determined[9] Upon addition of increasing amounts of CDs (120573-CD

The resulting AL-type linear positive isotherms reveal1 1 binding stoichiometry further supporting Job plot andESI-TOF-MS results The 119870stab values calculated by (9) aresummarized in Table 3

The determined119870stab value for120573-CD byUV spectroscopyand phase-solubility is in agreement Moreover similarstability constants were determined for other cyclodextrincomplexes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors [15 16 19]The valuesin Table 3 show that the substitution of the 120573-CD enhancesinclusion complex formation stability as observed also in thecase of erlotinib [19] However in the case of imatinib themethylation of the native 120573-CD reduced the stability of thecomplex [15] which can be explained by the structural differ-ences of these anticancer drugs The largest binding constantwas observed for SBE-120573-CD which is totally ionized underthe applied conditions Thus the reason of the more stablecomplex is the additional electrostatic attractions betweenthe multiply negatively charged hosts and the dicationic LAPConcerning the solubility enhancing capabilities it can bestated that CDderivatives enhance the LAP solubility due pri-marily to the inclusion phenomenon which can be extendedby electrostatic forces The results are especially promisingwith SBE-120573-CDwheremore than 600-fold solubility increasecould be achieved

4 Conclusion

LAP the anticancer drug was characterized in terms oflipophilicity solubility acid-base and CD-complex forma-tion properties using complementary methods such asUV NMR phase-solubility and molecular modeling Animportant practical result of this work is that CDs especiallythe substituted derivatives significantly increase the LAPsolubility which can be a starting point of a new LAPformulation of improved bioavailability

32 Determination of LAP-120573-CD Stoichiometry NMR Job Plotand ESI-TOF-MS Studies In order to draw adequate conclu-sions on the inclusion process the knowledge of selector-selectand complexation stoichiometry is a prerequisite Thegeneral method to determine complex stoichiometry is Jobrsquoscontinuous variation method In this experiment the 1HNMR chemical shifts (120575) were measured at different LAPconcentration120573-CD concentration (119888LAP119888CD) ratios whilethe sum of 119888LAP + 119888CD was kept constant The calculatedfactors (Δ120575120594LAP) were plotted as a function of LAP molarratio (120594LAP) In all cases the resulting Job plot diagramsshowed maxima at 05 indicating the typical 1 1 bindingstoichiometry Representative Job plot curves of LAP and 120573-CD are shown in Figure 4(a)

The complex stoichiometry was also studied by ESI-TOF-MS technique which provides a powerful means to studynoncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes between a CDand the guest molecule [32] A large number of publicationsprove that a simple fast ESI-MS analysis is suitable for the de-termination of inclusion complex stoichiometry [15 19 33]

however ESI-MS studies imply the question whether theobserved peaks represent actual inclusion complexes orrather electrostatic adducts formed during the electrosprayprocess [34] if however additional adequate techniquesprove that the complex formation ESI-MS is straightforwardway to determine complex stoichiometry Analyzing the MSspectra in the 100ndash1500mz range the protonated molecularion of the uncomplexed LAP (mz 5811419 [M+H]+) theirsource fragment ion (mz 4581027 [M+H]+) and the charac-teristic mz values of uncomplexed 120573-CD (mz 11353732[M+H]+ 11573531 [M+Na]+) can be observed Figure 4(b)shows the renormalized upper part (1500ndash3000 mz) of themass spectrum of a sample containing LAP and 120573-CD in 1 2molar ratio The observed signal at mz 17155157 with gen-erated C71H96ClFN4O39S molecular formula corresponds tothe LAP-120573-CD 1 1 inclusion complex whichmeans that ESI-TOF-MS confirms the NMR Job result verifying the 1 1 stoi-chiometry

33 Determination of Stability Constant by UV UV spec-troscopy can be a sensitive technique to characterize the CDinclusion complexes provided that the guestmolecule under-goes the significant absorption changes upon complexationThis technique can be used for the determination of CDstability constant of molecules with low solubility as wellUsing (8) the stability constants betweenLAP andnativeCDswere determined to select themost suitable hostThe stabilityconstants determined at pH 2 are listed in Table 2

Based on these data we can conclude that concerningthe size the seven-membered 120573-CD is the most suitable hostmolecule for complexation Thus further experiments werecarried out with 120573-CD and its derivatives

to characterize the geometry of inclusion complexes ROESYexperiment offers valuable information on spatial proximitybetween protons of the host and guestmolecules by observingintermolecular dipolar cross-correlations while molecularmodeling seeks the energy-minimized structure which canbe visualized at the atomic level [19 35 36]

2D NMR ROESY spectra for LAPndash120573-CD inclusion com-plex were recorded at pDlowast 2 where LAP exhibits an appro-priate solubility The expansion of this 2D spectrum inFigure 5(a) contains an intramolecular cross-peak betweenH3 (676 ppm) and H6 (352 ppm) nuclei of LAP Fromthe viewpoint of encapsulation intermolecular cross-peaksof the fluorophenyl protons (H373839) with the inner H-3(368 ppm) and H-5 (358 ppm) protons of 120573-CD are crucialDue to the fact that the H39 (749 ppm) proton of LAP givesa stronger cross-peak with the H-3 proton of the CD we canassume that the fluorophenyl moiety is accommodated in theCD cavity from the wider rim Based on ROESY datamolecularmodeling at PM3 level was carried outThe energy-minimization structure is depicted in Figure 5(b)The energyof formation of the complex was found minus107 kcalmol indi-cating that complex formation is thermodynamically favored

35 Phase-Solubility Studies Phase-solubility analysis accord-ing to Higuchi and Connors is an appropriate techniqueto demonstrate changes in drug solubility Moreover sta-bility constants and stoichiometry can also be determined[9] Upon addition of increasing amounts of CDs (120573-CD

The determined119870stab value for120573-CD byUV spectroscopyand phase-solubility is in agreement Moreover similarstability constants were determined for other cyclodextrincomplexes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors [15 16 19]The valuesin Table 3 show that the substitution of the 120573-CD enhancesinclusion complex formation stability as observed also in thecase of erlotinib [19] However in the case of imatinib themethylation of the native 120573-CD reduced the stability of thecomplex [15] which can be explained by the structural differ-ences of these anticancer drugs The largest binding constantwas observed for SBE-120573-CD which is totally ionized underthe applied conditions Thus the reason of the more stablecomplex is the additional electrostatic attractions betweenthe multiply negatively charged hosts and the dicationic LAPConcerning the solubility enhancing capabilities it can bestated that CDderivatives enhance the LAP solubility due pri-marily to the inclusion phenomenon which can be extendedby electrostatic forces The results are especially promisingwith SBE-120573-CDwheremore than 600-fold solubility increasecould be achieved

Figure 6 Phase-solubility diagrams of LAP-CD complexes

4 Conclusion

LAP the anticancer drug was characterized in terms oflipophilicity solubility acid-base and CD-complex forma-tion properties using complementary methods such asUV NMR phase-solubility and molecular modeling Animportant practical result of this work is that CDs especiallythe substituted derivatives significantly increase the LAPsolubility which can be a starting point of a new LAPformulation of improved bioavailability
