General description

Cyclodextrins belongs to the family of cyclic α-1,4-glucans and is made of glucose units. This molecule has a shape of a hollow cone. It possesses a hydrophilic external and hydrophobic internal surface, because of which cyclodextrins can form inclusion complexes. γ-Cyclodextrin is extensively used in food and pharmaceutical industries. Cyclodextrins are obtained by the enzymatic conversion of starch/starch derivatives by cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase.

Application

A molecule used to solublize non-polar molecules such a cholesterol for use in cell culture.

Although 3α-hydroxy, 5α-reduced pregnane steroids, such as allopregnanolone (AlloP) and tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone, are endogenous positive modulators of postsynaptic GABA(A) receptors, the functional roles of endogenous neurosteroids in synaptic transmission are still largely unknown. In this study, the effect of AlloP on
