Description

α-Cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide with 6 D-glucose residues which are α-1,4-linked. α-cyclodextrin is used in the food industry to encapsulate flavours and fragrances (Kfoury, 2016). α-cyclodextrin is also an effective inhibitor of the upstream inflammatory response induced by cholesterol crystals. Cholesterol crystal-induced complement activation is a critical step in the development of atherosclerosis, thus inhibition of complement with α-cyclodextrin has the potential to be used in the treatment of atherosclerosis (Pilely, 2019).
