Functional Supramolecular of Inclusion Complex of Herbicide Fluroxypyr with HPβCD

In this study, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) was used to form an inclusion complex with fluroxypyr to enhance water solubility and thermal stability. The inclusion complex was prepared by a saturated solution method and characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, and XRD. All results indicated that fluroxypyr successfully entered the HPβCD cavity. In addition, the study of phase solubility identifies that the water solubility of fluroxypyr was greatly improved after the formation of the inclusion complex, and TGA analysis suggested that the formation of the inclusion complex improved the thermal stability. Bioactivity assay tests showed that the inclusion complex still had strong herbicidal activity. Our research showed that HPβCD was a promising carrier for improving the properties of fluroxypyr and, thus, expanding its use in agrochemical formulations.
