Stoichiometric and microenvironmental effects on hydrolysis of propantheline and oxyphenonium bromides in cyclodextrin solutions.

The effects of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrins (CDs) on the basic hydrolysis of propantheline bromide (PB) and oxyphenonium bromide (OB) are analyzed in terms of the stoichiometry and microenvironments of their complexes. The rate constant of each species is evaluated with binding constant data for the 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 complexes. The dielectric constant of the binding site of PB is estimated from the ultraviolet maximum wavelength in reference with the ethanol-water and dioxane-water systems. The energy-optimized structures of some complexes of PB with beta- and gamma-CD are obtained by molecular mechanics. Because the ester linkage of PB in the 1:1 complex with alpha-CD and in the 2:1 complex with gamma-CD is located near hydroxyls of the CD rim, these complexes catalyze the hydrolysis of PB. In contrast, the hydrolysis is inhibited by the formation of the 1:1 and 1:2 complexes of beta-CD and the 1:1 complex of gamma-CD because the ester linkage of PB is rather deeply incorporated into the CD cavities for these complexes. All the CDs inhibit the hydrolysis of OB. The rate constant of the 1:1 complex of OB and CD is in the decreasing order alpha-CD > gamma-CD > beta-CD. This order is consistent with that of the local dielectric constants of the binding sites. Copyright 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
