Abstract
The genus Lantana is widely used in folk medicine because its essential oil has antibacterial, antifungal and repellent activity. However, its thermal instability and low solubility in water reduce its technological application. In this work, an inclusion complex was prepared consisting of the essential oil of Latana camara L. (LCEO) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The complex was characterizated by vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and FTIR spectroscopy), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optimization of the ratio of the LCEO and β-CD in the inclusion complex was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS); it was inferred that the ratio of guest–host = 6:94 (m:m) was the optimal ratio. Shifts in some peak positions of the vibrations modes in Raman spectra of L. camara and β-CD provided clearer and better evidence of inclusion complex formation than infrared spectroscopy did. Results of DSC and XRD characterization of inclusion complex are in good agreement with Raman results.

Introduction
Lantana camara is representative of the family Verbenaceae, a native of America and South America. It is grown as an ornamental species and has been adapted to various regions of the planet [1]. It is used in folk medicine to treat itching, ulcers, hepatitis and rheumatism [2]. In Brazil it was used in traditional medicine in combination with other species to treat lung diseases [3]. However, the introduction of synthetic drugs and the lack of pharmacological and toxicological testing has led to the disuse of this species in Brazil [4]. Recent studies have shown that the essential oil obtained from the leaves of L. camara (LCEO) has a wide spectrum of performance as an antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant [5,6,7,8,9,10,11], and larvicide against the larvae of the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens, which are vectors of serious endemic diseases in the southeast of tropical countries [10, 12]. It also has insecticidal activity against insects of the genus Sitophilus [2, 13] and acaricide activity [5].
Among the main active constituents of LCEO are β-caryophyllene and germacrene-d, wich exhibit anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity [10]. β-Caryophyllene and γ-elemene have demonstrated cytotoxic activity against certain cell types [14, 15], and the β-caryophyllene has local anesthetic activity [16]. However, LCEO is insoluble in aqueous media and is unstable to light, heat, and oxygen. Its applications are restricted to narrow fields. To expand the application fields of the representative essential oil in the food, medication, and cosmetic industries, it is necessary to study the inclusion interactions and molecular microcapsule of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with LCEO [17].
Natural CD are formed by six, seven or eitght glucopyranose units, known as α, β and γ-CD, respectively. Cyclic oligosaccharides are capable of forming inclusion complexes (ICs) with a variety of organic compounds [18] through weak interactions such as hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces [19,20,21]. From a structural point of view, the spatial conformation of CDs is a truncated cone. The hydrophilic character of the surface is due to the presence of primary and secondary hydroxyls facing the outer surface. Since oxygen atoms are involved in glycosidic linkages between units of glucopyranose and hydrogen atoms, this confers a hydrophobic character to the interior of its cavity [20,21,22].
Some authors have studied the associations of CD with several essential oils [20, 23,24,25,26,27,28,29]. The use of inclusion compounds of CD (β-CD in particular) with several guest molecules has become common in the food industry, and this application has generated a large number of reports in the literature concerned with natural products [30].
One of the significant problems in the structural chemistry of such complexes is the final product characterization. In this respect, Raman spectroscopy emerges an important technique for verifying the presence of the different substances inside the CD cavity giving rise to an inclusion compound, since the guest molecule is a good Raman scatterer [30]. In this context, verification of the signal from a control substance β-CD in the present study in the vibrational profile obtained for standard LCEO will be useful for further identification and characterization of such molecules in complex matrices.
The present study describes the formation of the IC between β-CD and LCEO as well as its characterization using various analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
Experimental
Plant material
Leaves of L. camara were collected in the city of Simões (S = 7°35′900″, W = 40°40′404″; 786 m), Piauí, Brazil, in February of 2011. The specimen was deposited at the Herbarium of the Federal University of Piauí under reference number 27183.
Essential oil extraction
Samples of fresh leaves (300 g) were submitted to a hydrodistillation process for 3 h, in a Clevenger-type apparatus [31]. The essential oils collected were subsequently dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and kept refrigerated at 4 °C until they could be analyzed.
GC–MS measurements
The analysis of the LCEO was performed in a gas chromatograph (Thermo Scientific) coupled to an ISQ® mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) under the following conditions: HP-5MS capillary column (J & W Scientific) using helium as a drag gas under a flow of 1 mL min−1. The injector and detector temperatures were maintained at 270 and 290 °C, respectively. The column temperature was kept at 50 °C for 5 min and then programmed to 180 °C at a rate of 4 °C min−1, and finally increased to 260 °C at a rate of 10 °C min−1, with a final hold for 10 min at this temperature. Samples of 1 µL of essential oil diluted in 5% n-hexane were injected, and n-alkanes were used as reference points for the calculation of relative retention indices. The percentage compositions were obtained from electronic integration of peak area measurements. The mass spectra were recorded on Electron Impact mode at 70 eV and the scanned mass ranged from 43 to 500 Da. Identification of individual components of the essential oil was performed by computerized matching of the acquired mass spectra with those stored in the NIST mass spectral libraries of the GC–MS data system. Retention indices (RI) for all compounds were compared to those published in the literature [7, 31,32,33,34]. The GC–MS (full scan) chromatogram was used to determine the relative concentrations using peak areas.
Preparation of LCEO/β-CD
The IC between LCEO and β-CD was prepared in duplicate according to the method proposed by Bhandari et al. [35], with some modifications. Briefly, the IC was prepared in the proportions of LCEO:β-CD (mass:mass) of 3:97, 6:94, 9:91, 12:88, and 15:85. To this end, an adequate mass of LCEO was solubilized in ethanol PA. while the β-CD was solubilized in an ethanol: water (1:2) mixture heated to 55 °C. The LCEO was added under stirring to the solution of β-CD, removed from the heat, and stirred continuously for 4 h at 150 rpm at an average temperature of 25 °C. After this period, the mixture was cooled without stirring to an average temperature of 4 °C over 12 h. The precipitate was collected, dried by lyophilization, weighed and stored in a desiccator until analysis.
Preparation of the physical mixture
The physical mixture (PM) between the LCEO and β-CD was prepared by simple grinding of LCEO and the β-CD with the aid of a mortar with pestle.
Characterization of the inclusion complex
The total amount of oil in the IC was determined by the method of extraction with solvent proposed by Harangi and Nánási [36], with some modifications. Briefly, samples equivalent to 10 mg of LCEO of ICs were solubilized with 8 mL of distilled water in a test tube sealed with a Bakelite screw cap and extracted with 4 mL of n-hexane. For this, the mixture was heated in a water bath at a temperature of 80 ± 2 °C for 15 min with intermittent shaking. Then it was cooled to room temperature. The n-hexane phase containing the essential oil was collected with the help of a pipette, and the aqueous phase was further subjected to two successive extractions with n-hexane (2 × 4 mL). The combined extracts were concentrated and transferred to a volumetric flask of 5 mL and analyzed by GC–MS. Aiming to reduce experimental errors, the LCEO was subjected to the same process of extraction as for the complexed oil. Therefore, 10 mg of essential oil was weighed with 200 mg of β-CD, and then submitted to the method of extraction as for the complexed oil.
Evaluation of the chemical profiles of the LCEO versus the complexed oil
Evaluation of the chemical profiles of the LCEO and complexed LCEO was performed by comparison of their chromatographic content [36]. The complexation efficiency (CE) was calculated according to the following equation:
where AIC is the sum of the areas of the peaks identified in the IC, and ALCEO is the sum of the areas of the peaks identified in the LCEO.
Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)
The FT-IR transmittance spectra of LCEO, β-CD, PM and IC were obtained in the mid-IR region of the spectrum (4000–400 cm−1) using a Vertex 70 spectrometer (Bruker). Approximately 10 µL of LCEO was placed directly between two KBr plates. The β-CD, PM, and the IC were crushed with about 100 mg of potassium bromide (KBr), then pressed into pellets of 1 mm under a pressure at about 7 tons. The spectra were obtained with 64 scans and a resolution of 4 cm−1.
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR)
The ATR spectra of LCEO, β-CD, PM and IC were also obtained in the mid IR (4000–600 cm−1) using the same spectrometer with an accessory for ATR. Approximately 20 µL of LCEO and 5 mg of β-CD, of the PM and IC, were placed directly on the surface of the crystal (Ge) of the ATR accessory, with light pressure applied to promote contact between the solid samples and the crystal surface. The spectra were obtained from 64 scans and a resolution of 4 cm−1.
Raman spectroscopy
The Raman spectra were recorded using a confocal Raman microscope NTEGRA (NT-MDT). A solid-state laser (Cobalt) of wavelength 473 nm was used as the excitation source, at an output power of about 25 mW. A × 100 objective was used to focus the beam onto the samples. The measurements were calibrated with crystalline silicon and obtained from ten acquisitions of 60 s each, with a spectral resolution of 4 cm−1.
X-ray diffraction (XRD)
The XRD diffractograms of the samples were obtained in a Shimadzu XRD-6000 X-ray diffractometer. The diffractograms were measured at an angle of 2θ, ranging from 5° to 75° at a rate of 2° min−1.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
The DSC curves were obtained on a TA Instruments apparatus (DSC-2920) with a nitrogen atmosphere of 50 mL min−1 and a heating rate of 10 °C min−1 in the temperature range 30–300 °C, using a port sample of hermetically sealed aluminum containing samples of 5.0 mg ± 0.2 of the LCEO, β-CD, PM, and IC.
Results and discussion
GC–MS analysis of the essential oil
The identification of the essential oils’ components was accomplished by comparison of their GC–MS retention indices. Spectra were considered coincident if the similarity index was higher than 95%. The yield of essential oils obtained was 0.35%. Table 1 gives the chemical composition and retention indices of the compounds identified: in total, 14 compounds were identified. The most representative compounds of the oil were mono and sesquiterpenes, such as β-caryophyllene (23.91%), γ-elemene (32.81%), and germacrene-d (17.77%), similar to the oils of L. camara obtained from other regions [5, 7, 9, 34, 37,38,39,40,41,42]. It was also observed that the molecular mass of the constituents identified is compatible with the capacity for complexation of the β-CD, which in according to Veiga et al. [43], should be around 200 below 800 Da.
Complexing efficiency
Several methods can be used in the preparation of the IC, with co-precipitation being the method of most used on laboratory scale, because of the ease of execution and high efficiency [20]; it was used here for the preparation of the IC of LCEO/β-CD. The CE varied between 20.6 and 38.0% and the mass recovered ranged from 57.9 to 75.9%, as shown in Table 2.
Wang et al. [20], in their study of the IC with garlic oil, reported a complexed oil content of 10.5% and a recovery of 78.2%. On the other hand, Hadaruga et al. [44] reported from contents of 7.1–11.5% with yields of 55–84%. As can be seen, the efficiency of complexation of several essential oils is variable due to very diverse compositions: each constituent of the oil can form a complex with higher or lower affinity with the CD [36]. Analyzing the data in Table 2, it can be observed that IC 6:94 was the one that showed the highest efficiency of complexation, and that an increase in concentration of LCEO does not increase the efficiency of complexation. For IC formation to occur very efficiently, one should observe the stoichiometric ratio between LCEO and the β-CD [30].
Figure 1 shows the relative abundance of the main constituents of LCEO and ICs. It can be seen that the quantitative composition of the complexed oil differs from the composition of LCEO. However, the qualitative profile of the main constituents of IC 3:97, IC 6:94, and the LCEO oil are similar, probably due to the equimolar ratio between LCEO and the β-CD present in the complexes. According to Harangi and Nánási [36], there is a difference in affinity between the different components of the essential oils to the β-CD, such that there is a qualitative and quantitative difference in the composition of the complexed oil and the uncomplexed oil. This explains the change in the qualitative profile of the IC complexes in the proportions 9:91, 12:88 and 15:85, since in these cases the LCEO is in excess and those components with greater affinity can displace those with lower affinity.
Infrared spectroscopy results
Figure 2 shows the FT-IR spectra of β-CD, LCEO, PM, and IC obtained in transmittance mode. The IR spectrum of the LCEO is characterized by several main peaks, which are listed and assigned in Table 3. We can observe in the LCEO the presence of mainly vibrational modes related to sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes carbons, hydrogenated and oxygenated, such as alkyl groups, and C=C, C–O, and C–O–C groups that are characteristic of terpenoids [45, 46]. The FT-IR spectrum of β-CD obtained is typical and similar to that obtained in previous work [25, 47,48,49].
On analyzing Fig. 2, a reduction in intensity of the absorption bands of LCEO located at approximately 2953, 2924, 2858, 1452 and 1372 cm−1 is observed when compared to the spectra of PM and IC. Nevertheless these intensity changes may be caused by the effect of dilution of the PM and IC samples in KBr, thus justifying the higher intensity of the bands of LCEO when compared to the other spectra. Furthermore, there was no shift or appearance of new bands in the IR spectrum of the IC, unlike changes seen by Zhan et al. [26], who observed a shift and change in intensity of bands of vibration of the IC, eugenol, and β-CD. Therefore, we cannot use this spectrum to characterize the formation of the IC. To reduce the effect of dilution of the samples, we performed an IR spectroscopy analysis by ATR (Fig. 3) since this technique does not require prior preparation of the sample. However, in this technique, there is no good correlation between the sample concentration and the intensity of absorption, in this way the characterization of the IC is more complex. On the other hand, this technique is very efficient in detecting displacements, enlargements, and reductions in intensity of the bands [11, 52].
In general, we can observe that the FTIR spectra of ICs and the free CDs are very similar. Bands of LCEO were almost completely obscured by very intense and broad CD bands. In particular, looking at the Fig. 3 we observed a reduction in intensity of the bands characteristic of LCEO, as in Fig. 2: we assume that this decrease is an effect of dilution of LCEO in the β-CD. However, we did not observe significant changes or displacements (beyond the resolution of the IR equipment) of bands in the IR spectrum of the IC or PM with respect to LCEO or β-CD. This may allow us to assume formation of the IC, showing that spectroscopy in the IR was not sufficient to prove the formation of the same with LCEO.
These results are in agreement with those found by other researchers, indicating that the IR absorption spectroscopy is not a very sensitive technique with which to characterize the IC with CDs [52].
Raman spectroscopy results
Raman spectroscopy can be used to monitor vibration of C=C bands with vibration wave number around 1646 cm−1, which are present in the various components of LCEO. These bands are highly sensitive to the formation of the IC with β-CD, since it does not have spectral bands in this region which may hide changes [18, 30, 49, 53]. In Fig. 4 the Raman spectrum of LCEO presents two very pronounced bands around 1444 cm−1 (strain CH or CH2) and 1646 cm−1 (C=C stretch) characteristic of the presence of sesquiterpenes [45, 54,55,56,57]. These peaks represent the fingerprint of the LCEO, given that they exhibit the characteristic profile of its main constituents [54, 56, 57]. These bands are quite pronounced in the PM (Fig. 4), suggesting that this spectrum is the simple sum of the isolated spectra of LCEO with the characteristic bands associated with β-CD around 1340, 932, 856, 584, and 480 cm−1. These are related to the vibrations of hydroxyls, primary and secondary alcohols, bands of linked C–O–C, breathing modes, glucose, and vibration of C–C–C bonds, all suggesting that the sample is just a mixture of the two substances without any significant interactions.
When analyzing the spectrum of the IC we observed a slight reduction in intensity and a shift to lower wave number, by around 20 cm−1 (well above of the resolution limit of the spectrometer), of the band around 1646 cm−1 when compared with the LCEO spectrum. This suggests that the C=C double bonds are possibly involved in the formation of these complexes, since the insertion of a guest molecule within the cavity of β-CD causes a conformational constraint on it, reducing the free movement of encapsulated molecules. This action, besides the β-CD serve as barrier against interaction of the laser beam with the guest molecule, which helps to reduce the intensity of its Raman signal [58]. We also observed significant shifts (to lower wavenumber) in the bands around 480 and 1117 cm−1 of β-CD, which prove the interaction of LCEO and β-CD. These effects were also observed by Oliveira et al. [30], Fini et al. [58], and Lamcharfi et al. [59], whith prepared ICs between β-CD and other compounds.
We did not observe the appearance of new vibrational bands in the spectrum of the IC in Fig. 4, indicating that no chemical bonds (of the covalent type) were formed between the LCEO and β-CD. This confirm the weak interaction between the β-CD and the guest molecules. However, for the Raman spectrum of the PM we observed small displacements in the same bands mentioned above, which can characterize the formation of the IC in a very few amount.
XRD results
In trying to assess whether the change in the pattern of XRD of the IC compared to the standard of β-CD was caused by the preparation technique, the β-CD was subjected to the same treatment as the IC. The diffraction pattern of β-CD in natura and β-CD after this treatment showed no significant differences (data not shown). Figure 5 shows the diffraction pattern typical of β-CD with peaks at angles of diffraction 2θ around 9°, 10°, 12°, 23°, 24°, 25°, and 27°, suggesting that the β-CD appears as a crystalline material, as seen in previous studies [21]. In the PM we observed a small change in the diffraction pattern, suggesting the existence of a small interaction between the LCEO and the β-CD as seen in the Raman spectrum. In the IC, an alteration of the diffraction patterns was observed, with the disappearance of peaks and the appearance of new peaks around 5°, 6°, 11°, and 18° suggesting the formation of a new crystalline structure, reinforcing the evidence for formation of the IC by Raman spectroscopy.
DSC results
The DSC curve of β-CD (Fig. 6) shows a sharp endothermic peak at 118 °C caused by the loss of water present in its cavity [20]. The DSC curve characteristic of LCEO, constitutes an exothermic peak at 177 °C, followed by an endothermic peak around at 229 °C. The DSC curve of the PM seems to be the simple superposition of the DSC curves of LCEO and β-CD. However, a different pattern was observed in the DSC curve of the IC. The endothermic peak at 118 °C had its intensity reduced, indicating that part of the water that was initially present in β-CD was displaced by LCEO, due to its greater affinity for the hydrophobic cavity of β-CD [20], again suggesting the formation of the IC shown by Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, the exothermic peak disappeared, indicating a greater stability of complexed LCEO when compared to LCEO which was non-complexed.
In summary, DSC, Raman spectra, and FT-IR analyses proved that CD/LCEO IC by the co-precipitation method had different physicochemical characteristics than free relative CD and LCEO, and their PM.
Conclusions
Raman spectroscopy results clearly show formation of the IC between LCEO and β-CD by the co-precipitation method. The IC 6:94 was the complex which showed the highest CE according to GC–MS measurements. The results of XRD and DSC are not so conclusive in detecting differences in the physicochemical properties of complexed and uncomplexed LCEO, but do corroborate the results of Raman spectroscopy. The results also show the difference in sensitivity between the vibrational spectroscopic techniques, with Raman spectroscopy clearly the only one sensitive enough to monitor the formation of the IC with the essential oil consisting predominantly of monoterpenes and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, such as LCEO.
Thus, this work showed that complexation or encapsulation with CDs might be a useful and promising way to improve the application of LCEO in, for example, the food and pharmaceutical industries.
