Gold Nanoparticles Incorporated with Cyclodextrins and Its Applications

Cyclodextrins are naturally oligosaccharides which had cyclic glucopyranoside units even if six to form α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), seven β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or eight γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and some other derivatives. It has a truncated cone shape with hydrophobic cavity hydrophilic from the external surface of cyclodextrins. Gold nanoparticles incorporated cyclodextrins enhanced optical electrical properties resulting conjugates, due gold nanoparticles’ unique physical chemical because their plasmon resonance. Here is review nanoparticles/cyclodextrin’s different applications including sensing, antimicrobial effect, variable medical/pharmaceutical applications. Generally, cyclodextrin conjugates showed developed pronounced advantages biocompatibility electric properties.
