The data suggested the formation of inclusion complexes in solution in which B andC rings ofthe moleculeare located inside the cavity. Nevertheless, the structure, in terms of depth within CyD, depends on the derivative considered. Molecular mechanics calculations of DSPcomplexes withDIMEB and g-CyD support the NMR results. The potential displacement of DSP from the CyD cavity by usual ophthalmic drugs (e.g., polymyxin B, trimethoprim, and benzalkonium chloride) was determined by NMR. The technique has been found useful to analyze this problem in pharmaceutical preparations YR 2002 FD 2002 LK http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/37314 UL http://riull.ull.es/xmlui/handle/915/37314 LA en NO Financiado por Xunta de Galicia under project PGIDT99-PX120305 DS Repositorio institucional de la Universidad de La Laguna RD 08-nov-2024
