Enhanced solubility and antimicrobial activity of alamethicin in aqueous solution by complexation with γ-cyclodextrin
Alamethicin (ALM) inhibits the growth of bacteria by disrupting their cell membrane. ALM exhibits poor solubility in aqueous medium thus limiting its application. A method is proposed for encapsulation of ALM with γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) by forming a complex of higher solubility with thermal and pH st...
