Thiolated α-cyclodextrin: The likely smallest drug carrier providing enhanced cellular uptake and…
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of thiolated α-cyclodextrin (α-CD-SH) on the cellular uptake of its payload.
For this purpose, α-CD was thiolated using phosphorous pentasulfide. Thiolated α-CD was characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and…

Anomalous Properties of Cyclodextrins and Their Complexes in Aqueous Solutions
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides that emerged as industrial excipients in the early 1970s and are currently found in at least 130 marketed pharmaceutical products, in addition to numerous other consumer products. Although CDs have been the subject of close to 100,000 publications…
