The formation of supramolecular inclusion complexes between rutin and four cyclodextrins, namely β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), (2-hydroxypropyl)-α-cyclodextrin (HP-α-CD), (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and (2-hydroxypropyl)-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD), and the effects of the complexation on the stability and antioxidant activity of rutin were investigated. Results from phase-solubility studies showed that rutin formed 1:1 stoichiometric inclusion complexes with HP-α-CD, β-CD, HP-β-CD and HP-γ-CD; the complexes formed with HP-γ-CD and HP-β-CD had the greatest stability constants, followed by β-CD and HP-α-CD. Thermodynamic studies demonstrate that the inclusion of rutin into HP-β-CD was an exothermic process which occurred spontaneously. Two-dimensional rotating-frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (2D ROESY) 1H NMR analyses show that the A ring of rutin was the part of the molecule that most likely inserted into the cavity of HP-β-CD, thus forming a supramolecular inclusion complex. Formation of such an inclusion complex conferred moderate degrees of protection to rutin from degradation by heat and UV radiation during storage, and significantly enhanced its antioxidant capacity as determined by three different procedures.
