This article observed transformations polysaccharides undergo after mechanical treatment and molecular dynamics of complexation in aqueous solutions. Average molecular mass is an important physicochemical characteristics of polysaccharides macromolecules. When polymers undergo mechanical treatment their partly degradation occurs. This factor must be taken into consideration in the process of creation of new medicinal products. Analysis of initial and mechanical treated polysaccharides by gel-permeation chromatography showed signifi cant or partly decrease of molecular masses depending on the intensity of treatment. The use of “gentle” treatment (rotational mill) is more assumption because the degree of degradation is minimized and additional tests could be avoided when these compositions are used in medicinal products. Also this article considered investigation of molecular dynamics of compositions of arabinogalactan (AG) with drugs by NMR-relaxation method. The data obtained by this method showed that AG forms supramolecular complexes with drugs. Complexes of AG with suffi ciently soluble drug – salicylic acid were also observed by this method, thermodynamically parameters of complexation were calculated. Complexes obtained by mixing of water solutions showed signifi cantly less stability in comparison with mechanochemical complexation.
