%X The behavior of the inclusion behavior of guanosine (GU) with beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in the liquid, solid and virtual state were investigated. The absorption and fluorescence spectral were used to determine the inclusion behavior in liquid state. FT-IR, NMR, TGA, DSC, PXRD and FESEM techniques were used to investigate the inclusion behavior in solid-state, meanwhile the virtual state studies are done by molecular docking. The solid inclusion complex (GU: β-CD) was prepared by using the co-precipitation method. The binding constant (K) of (GU: β-CD) was calculated by using Benesi-Hildebrand. Besides that, the 1:1 stoichiometric ratio of inclusion complex was confirmed by using the Benesi-Hildebrand plot and Job's plot of continuous variation method. The most preferable model of GU: β-CD that suggested via molecular docking studies was in good agreement with experimental results. The inclusion complex of GU: β-CD exerted its toxicity effects towards HepG2 cell lines based on the reduced number of cell viability and lowest IC50 value compared to the GU and β-CD viability. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd %O cited By 11 %L scholars12580 %K Biomolecules; Cell culture; Molecular modeling; Precipitation (chemical), Anti-proliferative activities; Continuous variation methods; Coprecipitation method; Inclusion behavior; Inclusion complex; Solid inclusion complexes; Stoichiometric ratio; Supramolecular complexes, Cyclodextrins, beta cyclodextrin; guanosine; antineoplastic agent; beta cyclodextrin derivative; guanosine, absorption; antiproliferative activity; apoptosis; Article; association constant; cell proliferation; cell viability; controlled study; differential scanning calorimetry; drug toxicity; evaluation study; field emission scanning electron microscopy; fluorescence; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; Hep-G2 cell line; human; human cell; IC50; molecular docking; nuclear magnetic resonance; precipitation; priority journal; supramolecular chemistry; thermogravimetry; X ray diffraction; chemistry; conformation; drug effect, Antineoplastic Agents; beta-Cyclodextrins; Cell Proliferation; Guanosine; Hep G2 Cells; Humans; Molecular Conformation; Molecular Docking Simulation %D 2020 %A S.
