Study of the conditions of encapsulation of piperine in microwave-assisted nanosponges

N
anosponges (NS) is a class of colloidal structures based on hyper-crosslinked polymers that are made up of microscopic
particles with nanometric cavities in which a large variety of substances can be encapsulated. These cavities can
incorporate lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of NS with different
degree of crosslinking, the type of solvent (SOLV) used in the loading process and the load ratio PIP-NS (w/w) on the
encapsulation efficiency of piperine (PIP) in the microwave-assisted cyclodextrin‐based nanosponges. The NS was formed
with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) through the microwave-assisted method. NS of molar ratios 1:2,
1:6 and 1:10 (β-CD-DPC) were used to perform loads of PIP-NS (2:1, 1:1 and 1:2) (w/w). The solvents used in the fillers were
dichloromethane, acetone and ethanol. Characteristic peaks were identified for PIP and displacement of peaks attributable to
inclusion as methylenedioxy phenyl at 928cm-1. ANOVA was performed to determine if there were statistically significant
differences for each of the variables on the encapsulation efficiency response. NS and PIP-NS are significant (p≤0.05), on the
other hand, SOLV was not significant (p≥0.05) on the response. For the NS variable, the molar ratio that presented the best
responses were 1:6=77.12a and 1:10=78.74a followed by 1:2=71.55b. For the PIP-NS variable, the load ratio that presented the
best response was 1:2=84.08a, followed by 2:1=77.28b and finally 1:1=66.05c.
