General description

Cyclodextrins (CD) are cyclic oligosaccharides composed of D-glucose units connected via α(1,4) glycosidic bonds. Common cyclodextrins contain six (α-CD); seven (β-CD) or eight (gamma-CD) D-glucose units. Cyclodextrins are sometimes derivatized through esterification at positions two, three and/or six.

Application

Beta-cyclodextrin (β-Cyclodextrin) may be used in the development of biocompatible drug delivery vehicles and membrane constructs to improve compound solubility in aqueous environments. β-cyclodextrin polymer and its ester derivatives are used for the development and construction of biomaterials such as hydrogels, nanoassemblies and biomatricies. β-cyclodextrin may be used for the development of biosensors.
