Description

2,6-Dimethyl-b-cyclodextrin is a potent inhibitor of the P450 enzyme system. It has been shown to be effective in inhibiting the production of peptide hormones in vitro and cell proliferation in culture. The minimal toxicity of 2,6-dimethyl-b-cyclodextrin makes it an ideal candidate for use as an anti-cancer drug or for treatment of other diseases that are characterized by excessive production of peptide hormones. 2,6-Dimethyl-b-cyclodextrin is also used as a chemical stabilizer for trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and hydrophobic substances.
2,6-Dimethyl-b-cyclodextrin is a chiral compound that exists as a racemic mixture with two enantiomers: one with R configuration and one with S configuration. It has been shown to exhibit different properties when used in vivo depending on which enantiomer is administered.
