Application

β-Cyclodextrin(β-CD) has been used in the synthesis of mono-6-tosyl-CD. It has also been used as a constituent in the serum-free medium to assess the involvement of cholesterol-dependent mechanisms in the uptake of nanoparticles by rat basophilic leukemia cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Cyclodextrin is the cyclic α heptamer of glucose. It acts as a host to form inclusion compounds with the guests including derivatives of benzene, cyclohexane, adamantane, other alicyclic guests, and also inorganic molecules or ions. It is generally used to solubilize non-polar compounds such a fatty acids, lipids and cholesterol.

Methoxyethylamine monosubstituted β-cyclodextrin, mono-6(A)-(2-methoxyethyl-1-ammonium)-6(A)-β-cyclodextrin chloride (MEtAMCD), is synthesized and analytically characterized. Bearing a methoxy group in cyclodextrin rim, MEtAMCD exhibits outstanding enantioselectivities toward ampholytic and acidic racemates in capillary electrophoresis. Driven by inclusion complexation, electrostatic interactions and/or hydrogen bonding, the
