| Abstract | Guest-host complexes of spin-labeled cholesterol analogs, 3-doxyl androstane (ASL) and 3-doxylcholestane (CSL) with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (hpbCD) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (mbCD), have been synthesized for the first time. The compositions (stoichiometry) and binding constants of these complexes were determined using the solubility method and numerical simulation of binding isotherms. Complexes of ASL with hpbCD and mbCD are predominantly equimolar, while complexes of CSL with both cyclodextrins predominantly have the 1: 2 stoichiometry. The binding constants of both guest molecules with mbCD are greater than with hpbCD, evidently due to the greater size of the hydrophobic cavity in the former case. Dynamic structural parameters have been determined, including the rate constants of spin exchange with paramagnetic nickel ions and the hydrophobicity of the guest reporter NO group environment. These results indicate that the NO groups occur inside the cyclodextrin cavity at the cavity-water boundary rather than in the aqueous phase. Quantumchemical calculations using the PM3 method have been performed in order to establish the most stable (energetically favorable) structures of all complexes. The results of this analysis agree qualitatively with experimental data on the spin exchange and the hydrophobicity of the NO group environment. The axial and off-axial rotational diffusion coefficients of complexes (with respect to their long and short axes, respectively) have been determined from numerically modeled EPR spectra. The hydrodynamic dimensions of complexes evaluated from these parameters are indicative of the formation of their associates with water molecules and free cyclodextrin molecules in aqueous solutions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
