Product Information

• Name: 6-Deoxy-6-iodo-a-cyclodextrin
• Synonyms: Hexakis-(6-deoxy-6-iodo)-a-cyclodextrin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Deoxy-6-iodo-a-cyclodextrin is a cavity-forming agent that is used in the treatment of dental cavities. It has been shown to be effective against Streptococcus mutans and is less toxic than other cavity treatments. 6-Deoxy-6-iodo-a-cyclodextrin also has phosphorescence and can be used as a fluorescent tracer. This molecule has been shown to form complexes with 3-bromoquinoline, which are good substrates for cyclodextrin synthesis. In addition, it reacts with 6-bromo2 naphthol to form a complex that includes an electron donor and an electron acceptor. The complex absorbs light at wavelengths of 400 nm or more and emits light at wavelengths of 500 nm or less, making it useful for luminescent imaging systems.
