Popis: The selective binding of 7-aminoflavone (7-AF) molecules with DNA was investigated in the host–guest complex form with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). The host–guest association of 7-AF with β-CD was investigated using absorption, steady-state fluorescence, time-resolved fluorescence and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The stoichiometry and the binding constant of the inclusion complex were determined. The possible orientation of the 7-AF molecule to the β-CD was confirmed by the 2D ROESY NMR technique and was further studied by molecular modeling. The ground and the excited state pK a values are reported for the free guest molecule and the β-CD complex. The binding of 7-AF to calf thymus DNA with and without the β-CD are reported. The binding constant of DNA with 7-aminoflavone in the presence and the absence of β-CD were calculated.
