We investigated the effects of fl-cyclodextrin (/3-CyD, a water-soluble oligosaccharide capable of incorporating molecules of proper sizes) added to the inner aqueous phase of the vesicles on the solubilization of aromatic compounds with the equilibrium dialysis, fluorescent probe, and dynamic light scattering methods. The size of DDAB vesicles loaded with fi-CyD was found to be 60 nm when they were prepared under ultrasonic irradiation for a sufficiently long time. The solubilization equilibrium constant (K) of benzilic acid, which is a solubilizate hardly incorporated by the cyclodextrin, was noticeably larger for the fl-CyD-loaded vesicles than that for DDAB vesicles containing no cyclodextrin (60 nm), whereas no remarkable increase was found in the K value of 3-phenylpropionic acid (HCA), which is a solubilizate easily incorporated by the cyclodextrin. Consequently, it was concluded that oily substances which are hardly incorporated by fi-CyD are solubilized easily in the vesicle bilayers through the change in the bilayer property caused by the cyclodextrin in the inner aqueous phase of the vesicles.

the solubilization equilibrium constant is independent of vesicle size for the compounds having a polar group that is hardly dissociable in water, for example, 2-phenylethanol, whereas the constant increases considerably with increasing vesicle size for the compounds having a polar group that is dissociable in water, for instance, benzoic acid and 3-phenylpropionic acid. These results suggest that an increase in vesicle size brings about an increase in the solubilization equilibrium constant
