Abstract
NMR study and molecular modeling were performed to improve the level of understanding of the chiral recognition process occurring between linezolid and anionic single-isomer cyclodextrin-heptakis-(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfato)-beta-cyclodextrin (HDAS-beta-CD). NMR spectrometry allowed to estimate the stoichiometry of the complexes between HDAS-beta-CD and S- or R-linezolid and to determine the binding constants. The 1:1 complex stoichiometry was detected in millimolar concentrations and the mode of binding was proposed. The binding constants Ka of the complexes were of the order of 30-80 M(-1). Molecular dynamic simulations of 40ns for four complexes and calculations of binding free energies were performed. These calculations allowed determining the mode of binding of linezolid to HDAS-beta-CD and explaining the binding enantioselectivity.
