N. Anderton et al., THE INCLUSION OF PYRROLIZIDINE ALKALOIDS BY ALPHA-CYCLODEXTRINS AND BETA-CYCLODEXTRINS, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 47(5), 1994, pp. 853-857
The association constants of alpha- and beta-cyclodextrins with severa
l pyrrolizidine alkaloids have been determined at pH 1.5 and 9.2 by us
ing competitive spectrophotometry and solubility studies, respectively
. Evidence of the nature of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids inclusion with
in the cyclodextrin cavity is presented.
