Superstructures with cyclodextrins: Chemistry and applications

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides consisting of 1,4-glycosidically linked α-D-glucose units. Production of these compounds is accomplished by enzymatic degradation of starch using CD-glycosyl transferase. Since their discovery more than 100 years ago, a significant development in CD research has taken place. Various applications of CDs can be found, e.g. the binding of odors and flavors. Even drugs can be complexed and set free after a while by CDs. This enables the transfer of hydrophobic substances into aqueous media, which is of great interest in pharmaceutical chemistry. Regarding the interactions of CDs with low-molecular and macromolecular compounds, respectively, the reactivity of complexed molecules is another key factor besides solubility effects.
