Abstract
The formation of supramolecular complexes of glycyrrhetic acid (GLA) and levomycetin was detected and studied for the first time using electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). It was shown that the intermolecular complexes detected in the mass spectra were formed most effectively for a 1:1 host–guest ratio and less effectively for a 1:2 ratio. GLA aggregates (dimers and trimers) bound one or two levomycetin molecules and formed several singly and doubly charged cationic complexes. A comparison of the mass spectra of supramolecular complexes of glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and its aglycon (GLA) indicated that GLA self-aggregates and complexes with levomycetin formed more effectively than those of GA.
