General description

2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin is obtained by chemical modification of cyclic oligosaccharide, β-cyclodextrins. It is used as a potential adjuvant for vaccines. 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in an aqueous buffer increases the solubility of drugs. It is non-toxic in mice and rabbits. The formation of drug/cyclodextrin complexes is a rapidly reversible reaction and complexes exist both in solution and crystalline states. Solutions of many such complexes may be lyophilized to produce freely soluble powders which may be compressed into tablets.

Application

(2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin solution has been used:
  • to prepare a fresh solution of Cdc42 activity-specific inhibitor (CASIN) drug for analysis of the epigenetic aging signature in C57BL/6 mice
  • to prepare the solution of remodelin and remodelin Fluor for assessment of remodelin toxicity in vivo in mice
  • as a constituent of sodium citrate solution for reconstitution of carfilzomib (PR-171)

This study provides the first demonstration that central cannabinoids modulate the antinociceptive actions of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) on formalin-induced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) nociception. Noxious scratching behavior induced by formalin injection in the TMJ was used as a model of

Cyclodextrin Solubility Table

Solubility of common cell culture components in water and in a solution of 2-Hydroxylpropyl beta-cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrin is a non-toxic compound useful for its ability to solubilize fat soluble vitamins and hormones.

Cyclodextrins

Many metabolically important compounds, such as lipid-soluble vitamins and hormones, have very low solubilities in aqueous solutions. Various techniques have been used to solubilize these compounds in tissue culture, cell culture, or other water-based applications.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
