Background
Flavonoids possess a rich polypharmacological profile and their biological role is linked to their oxidation state protecting DNA from oxidative stress damage. However, their bioavailability is hampered due to their poor aqueous solubility. This can be surpassed through encapsulation to supramolecular carriers as cyclodextrin (CD). A quercetin- 2HP-β-CD complex has been formerly reported by us. However, once the flavonoid is in its 2HP-β-CD encapsulated state its oxidation potential, its decomplexation mechanism, its potential to protect DNA damage from oxidative stress remained elusive. To unveil this, an array of biophysical techniques was used.Methods
The quercetin-2HP-β-CD complex was evaluated through solubility and dissolution experiments, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies (Cyclic Voltammetry), UV–Vis spectroscopy, HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and HPLC-DAD, fluorescence spectroscopy, NMR Spectroscopy, theoretical calculations (density functional theory (DFT)) and biological evaluation of the protection offered against H2O2-induced DNA damage.Results
Encapsulation of quercetin inside the supramolecule's cavity enhanced its solubility and retained its oxidation profile. Although the protective ability of the quercetin-2HP-β-CD complex against H2O2 was diminished, iron serves as a chemical stimulus to dissociate the complex and release quercetin.Conclusions
We found that in a quercetin-2HP-β-CD inclusion complex quercetin retains its oxidation profile similarly to its native state, while iron can operate as a chemical stimulus to release quercetin from its host cavity.General significance
The oxidation profile of a natural product once it is encapsulated in a supramolecular carrier was unveiled as also it was discovered that decomplexation can be triggered by a chemical stimilus. 相似文献2.

Band-gap irradiation of CdS dispersions in alkaline aqueous media (pH 14) containing 0.1 M Na2S produces hydrogen and sulfur. The reaction is photo-decomposition of hydrogen sulfide by two quanta of visible light (λ > 400 nm). Various batches of commercially available cadmium sulfide, as well as CdS precipitated from nitrate, sulfate, and chloride solutions at neutral pH, produce different amounts of hydrogen. Electronically pure CdS (puratronic grade) generates almost no hydrogen. By contrast, CdS precipitates prepared in the presence of excess cadmium yield forty times more hydrogen than CdS prepared in the presence of excess sodium sulfide. Differences are rationalized in terms of possible surface modification and/or changes in the active sites by anions present as ‘impurities’ which could affect separation and recombination of the charge carries, eCB− and hVB+, in CdS. 相似文献
