Cyclodextrins and their water-soluble derivatives are excellent solubilizers and stabilizers and widely used as enabling pharmaceutical excipients. However, still new cyclodextrin derivatives are being designed and synthesized in an effort to improve their physicochemical properties. In this study physicochemical and
