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.

The inclusion complex of ethyl benzoate with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD) was prepared by a freeze-drying method and its characterizations were investigated by different analytical techniques including UV, FT-IR and phase solubility methods. All these approaches indicated that ethyl benzoate was able

Novel beta-cyclodextrin polymer (CD)-based drug delivery hydrogels were prepared by varying type and concentration of crosslinkers and optimizing the gel synthesis conditions. For comparison, dextrose gels were prepared using the same crosslinkers. The optimized gels were characterized by Fourier Transform
