General description

(2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) is a beta-cyclodextrin and hydroxyalkyl derivative and is widely used as a chiral solvent, phase transfer catalyst, and host molecule in organic synthesis. HP-β-CD can form inclusion complexes with guest molecules, which can help enhance the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of the guest molecule. It is an alternative to α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin and exhibits a higher water solubility. HP-β-CD is commonly used as a drug solubilizer.

Application

HP-β-CD can be used:
  • As an additive in the separation of amino acids and lactic acids based on the coordination interactions between Cu2+ ions and analytes.
  • As a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis, enabling the robust separation of diastereomeric derivatives of aspartic acid for analysis.
  • As a reagent to improve water solubility and anti-proliferative activity of pyrazolo[3,4-d] pyrimidines.
  • As formulation vehicle. It increases water solubility of the drug for successful delivery of medical agents to a biological system.
  • To increase the solubility of ropivacaine (RVC) upon complexation, which in turn enhances the pharmacological activity of RVC.
  • To increase the aqueous solubility of naproxen (NAP) in presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).
  • As a template in the synthesis of hollow spherical copper sulfide nanoparticle assemblies.
The solubility of lipophilic drugs increases linearly with the concentration of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBC) in aqueous solution because of the complex between HBC and the drug. This guest-host type complex is formed between the drug and the non-polar cavity in the HBC that results in enhanced solubility. Solutions may be lyophilized to produce freely soluble powders. Non-toxic in rabbits and mice.
