General description

Cyclodextrins belongs to the family of cyclic α-1,4-glucans and is made of glucose units. This molecule has a shape of a hollow cone. It possesses a hydrophilic external and hydrophobic internal surface, because of which cyclodextrins can form inclusion complexes. γ-Cyclodextrin is extensively used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Cyclodextrins are obtained by the enzymatic conversion of starch/starch derivatives by cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase.

Application

A molecule used to solublize non-polar molecules such a cholesterol for use in cell culture.

Novel supramolecular hydrogels were formed between pyrene-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) star polymers and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), through the inclusion complexation of dimers of the pyrene terminals with γ-CD, where γ-CD was directly used as a supramolecular cross-linking reagent without any modification.

A polypseudorotaxane (PPR) comprising γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) as host molecules and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) as a guest polymer is prepared via self-assembly in aqueous solution. Due to the bulky pendant isopropylamide group, PNIPAM exhibits size-selectivity toward self-assembly with α-, β-, and γ-CDs.
