β-Cyclodextrin as a photostabilizer of the plant growth regulator 2-(1-naphthyl) acetamide in aqueous solution.

Résumé

The plant growth regulator 2-(1-naphthyl) acetamide (NAAm) is susceptible to degradation by sunlight and UV light in aqueous solution. Its inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was characterized by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and its photodegradation was compared with that of aqueous solutions of NAAm. The complex was formed with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 with a binding constant of 651 M−1. The photodegradation behavior of NAAm in the inclusion complex NAAm:β-CD was investigated using both UV (λ = 254 nm) and simulated solar light (Suntest) irradiation. It was found that the NAAm:β-CD complex increases NAAm photostability towards photochemical degradation markedly. In addition, an influence of β-CD concentration was also observed on NAAm degradation rate: higher β-CD concentrations lead to a slower photoinduced transformation. Moreover, some differences were found in the photoproducts in the presence and absence of the cyclodextrin, indicating inhibition of some of the mechanistic pathways. β-CD stabilizes NAAm photodegradation towards sunlight and UV irradiation, enhancing its efficient application on formulations for the treatment of fruits and vegetables.
