摘要
Schistosomiasis is an infectious disease caused by parasitic worms. Large doses are necessary to achieve adequate concentrations at the destination due to low solubility of praziquantel. We use Monte Carlo simulations to generate structures of the water that will act as a solvent around praziquantel molecule with aim to study the formation of the solvation shells of the molecule after complexation into cyclodextrin. In this work it had shown an increased of the water number around praziquantel/beta-cyclodextrin complexes in relation isolated praziquantel molecule. This increase of the water number is due to hydrophilic effect of the cyclodextrin molecule.
