Ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) are insoluble drugs. The objective of this study was to encapsulate them
into β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and compare the solubility and intermolecular force of β-CD with the two isomeric
triterpenic acids. The host-guest interaction was explored in liquid and solid state by ultraviolet-visible absorption, 1 H
NMR, phase solubility analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffractometry, and molecular
modeling studies. Both experimental and theoretical studies revealed that β-CD formed 1: 1 water soluble inclusion
complexes and the complexation process was naturally favorable. In addition, the overall results suggested that ring E
with a carboxyl group of the drug was encapsulated into the hydrophobic CD nanocavity. Therefore, a clear different
inclusion behavior was observed, and UA exhibited better affinity to β-CD compared with OA in various media due
to little steric interference, which was beneficial to form stable inclusion complex with β-CD and increase its water
solubility effectively.
