General description

γ-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide containing eight glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. It can form host-guest or inclusion complexes in aqueous solutions with various organic molecules. As a result, cyclodextrins are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for the microencapsulation of sensitive fine chemicals.

Application

γ-Cyclodextrin can be used as:
  • A catalyst to synthesize substituted isoxazolidines via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones with styrenes and cinnamates.
  • An organic ligand to synthesize cyclodextrin-based metal-organic frameworks using biocompatible metal ions.
  • A reactant to synthesize O-perallylated cyclodextrins via perallylation with allyl halides in the presence of NaH.

Features and Benefits

  • Green and environment-friendly
  • No biological toxicity
  • Biodegradable

Although 3α-hydroxy, 5α-reduced pregnane steroids, such as allopregnanolone (AlloP) and tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone, are endogenous positive modulators of postsynaptic GABA(A) receptors, the functional roles of endogenous neurosteroids in synaptic transmission are still largely unknown. In this study, the effect of AlloP on
