Enhanced Solubility and Anticancer Potential of Mansonone G By β-Cyclodextrin-Based Host-Guest Complexation: A Computational and Experimental Study

Mansonone G (MG), a plant-derived compound isolated from the heartwood of <i>Mansonia gagei</i>, possesses a potent antitumor effect on several kinds of malignancy. However, its poor solubility limits the use for practical applications. Beta-cyclodextrin (&#946;CD), a cyclic oligosac...

description Mansonone G (MG), a plant-derived compound isolated from the heartwood of <i>Mansonia gagei</i>, possesses a potent antitumor effect on several kinds of malignancy. However, its poor solubility limits the use for practical applications. Beta-cyclodextrin (&#946;CD), a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of seven (1&#8594;4)-linked &#945;-D-glucopyranose units, is capable of encapsulating a variety of poorly soluble compounds into its hydrophobic interior. In this work, we aimed to enhance the water solubility and the anticancer activity of MG by complexation with &#946;CD and its derivatives (2,6-di-<i>O</i>-methyl-&#946;CD (DM&#946;CD) and hydroxypropyl-&#946;CD). The 90-ns molecular dynamics simulations and MM/GBSA-based binding free energy results suggested that DM&#946;CD was the most preferential host molecule for MG inclusion complexation. The inclusion complex formation between MG and &#946;CD(s) was confirmed by DSC and SEM techniques. Notably, the MG/&#946;CDs inclusion complexes exerted significantly higher cytotoxic effect (~2&#8722;7 fold) on A549 lung cancer cells than the uncomplexed MG.
