Abstract

Commercial cyclodextrins (CDs) are commonly used to form inclusion complexes (ICs) with different molecules in order to enhance their water solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Nowadays, there is strong, convincing evidence of the anticancer effect of selenium (Se)-containing compounds. However, pharmaceutical limitations, such as an unpleasant taste or poor aqueous solubility, impede their further evaluation and clinical use. In this work, we study the enhancement of solubility with CD complexes for a set of different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) derivatives with Se as selenoester or diacyl diselenide chemical forms, with demonstrated antitumoral activity. The CD complexes were analyzed via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques. In order to obtain additional data that could help explain the experimental results obtained, 3D models of the theoretical CD-compound complexes were constructed using molecular modeling techniques. Among all the compounds, I.3e and II.5 showed a remarkable increase in their water solubility, which could be ascribed to the formation of the most stable interactions with the CDs used, in agreement with the in silico studies performed. Thus, the preliminary results obtained in this work led us to confirm the selection of β and γ-CD as the most suitable for overcoming the pharmaceutical drawbacks of these Se derivatives.
