ABSTRACT
Owing to their bioadaptability and multifunctional characteristics, cyclodextrins have been shown to be useful in drug delivery systems. This article presents the unique structure and properties and the current application of natural and chemically modified cyclodextrins in transdermal drug delivery systems, focusing on their ability to enhance the solubility and stability of drug molecules and to improve drug absorption across biological barriers.
