:(2-hydroxypropyl)-alpha-cyclodextrin
Description:
(2-Hydroxypropyl)-alpha-cyclodextrin is a modified cyclodextrin, which is a cyclic oligosaccharide composed of glucose units. This compound is characterized by the presence of hydroxypropyl groups that enhance its solubility in water and improve its ability to form inclusion complexes with various hydrophobic molecules. The modification increases its stability and versatility in pharmaceutical and food applications. It exhibits a toroidal structure, allowing it to encapsulate guest molecules within its hydrophobic cavity, which can enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Additionally, (2-hydroxypropyl)-alpha-cyclodextrin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products and is utilized in drug delivery systems, cosmetics, and various industrial applications. Its properties include low toxicity, good biocompatibility, and the ability to improve the stability and release profiles of active ingredients. Overall, this compound plays a significant role in enhancing the efficacy of formulations across multiple sectors.
