Application

Useful for the solubilization of nonpolar macromolecules such as fatty acids, lipids, and cholesterol for use in cell culture applications. α-Cyclodextrin has been used to solubilize odanacatib, a cathepsin K inhibitor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-Cyclodextrin is found to form a firm complex with dietary fats. This way it decreases the bioavailability and absorption of fats. It is known to regulate triglyceride and leptin levels in serum. In rat models, α-Cyclodextrin is shown to induce insulin sensitivity and fecal fat excretion. Thus, α-cyclodextrin is considered to be effective for treating obesity and metabolic syndromes.

General description

α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide that consists of six glucopyranose units linked by α-(1,4) bonds. α-CD acts as a soluble dietary fiber and hence it is preferred to be widely used in food industry.

We previously reported that glucuronylglucosyl-β-cyclodextrin (GUG-β-CyD) conjugate with polyamidoamine starburst dendrimer (GUG-β-CDE conjugate) with the average degree of substitution (DS) of cyclodextrin (CyD) of 1.8 (GUG-β-CDE conjugate (DS 1.8)), showed remarkably higher gene transfer activity than α-CyD/dendrimer conjugate (α-CDE conjugate
