General description

β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), a well-known macrocyclic oligosaccharide member of the CD family, is composed of seven D-glucose units connected via α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Its ability to form several inclusion complexes with organic as well as inorganic compounds makes it a potential candidate in solid and solution state determinations.

Application

β-Cyclodextrin hydrate may be used:
  • To form an inclusion complex with norfloxacin for subsequent analysis using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
  • As a precursor of heptakis-(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfato)-β-cyclodextrin for use as a chiral selector in the enantioseparation of linezolid by capillary electrophoresis (CE).

Forms clathrates. Produces a water-soluble complex with dansyl chloride (cat. no. D143359) for the fluorescent labeling of proteins.

A method for the enantioseparation of linezolid, the first compound of a truly new class of antibiotics-the oxazolidinones, was developed. The elaborated method of linezolid enantiomers separation was successfully performed using an anionic single-isomer cyclodextrin-heptakis-(2,3-diacetyl-6-sulfato)-beta-cyclodextrin (HDAS-beta-CD) as a resolving agent

We study by molecular dynamics simulations the hydration of beta-cyclodextrin. Our simulations show that within these barrel-shaped molecules hydrophobicity dominates, while at the top and bottom sides of the barrel interactions with water are mostly hydrophilic in nature. These results
