Abstract
The probable structure of the inclusion complex of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) in D2O was investigated using several NMR techniques. EGCg formed a 1:1 complex with beta-CD, in which the A ring and a portion of the C ring of EGCg were included at the head of the phenolic hydroxyl group attached to C7 of EGCg in the beta-CD cavity from the wide secondary hydroxyl group side. In the 1:1 complex with beta-CD, EGCg maintained the conformation in which the B and B' rings of EGCg took pseudoequatorial and pseudoaxial positions with respect to the C ring, respectively. The structure of the inclusion complexes of beta-CD and EGCg obtained from NMR experiments supported those determined from AM1 semiempirical SCF MO calculations well.
