The aim of the present study was to formulate β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) nanoparticles loaded with geraniol (GR) essential oil (EO) with appropriate physicochemical properties. Complexation of GR with β-CD was optimized by evaluation of four formulations, using the co-precipitation method, and the encapsulation efficiency (EE), loading, size, particle size distribution (PDI) and zeta potential were ...

BACKGROUND Diseases that affect the buccal cavity are a public health concern nowadays. Chlorhexidine and nystatin are the most commonly used drugs for the control of buccal affections. In the search for more effective antimicrobials, nanotechnology can be successfully used to improve the physical chemical properties of drugs whilst avoiding the undesirable side effects associated with its use....

Cyclodextrin poly-functionalization has fueled progress in their use multiple applications such as enzyme mimicry, but also the polymer sciences, luminescence, sensors or for biomedical applications. However, regioselective access to a given pattern of functions on β-cyclodextrin is still very limited. We uncover new orienting group, thioacetate, that expands toolbox available cyclodextrin poly...

Fluorescence study on inclusion interaction of duloxetine in β-cyclodextrin shows significant increase in the fluorescence of duloxetine in the presence of β-cyclodextrin. The effects of pH and cyclodextrin concentration on the fluorescence spectra are reported. Fluorescence spectroscopy of the host-guest interaction between duloxetine and β-cyclodextrin shows formation of inclusion complex wit...

AIM Caffeic acid has been described as active against bacteria commonly isolated from wound infections. However, its low stability and poor solubility reduce caffeic acid applicability as a pharmaceutical product. These parameters can be enhanced by complexation with cyclodextrin. The main goal of the present work was to incorporate caffeic acid on cyclodextrin-based hydrogels capable of contro...

in this study, blueberry essential oil as a core material was microencapsulated with inulin and β-cyclodextrin at a ratio of 1:5 (core: wall). oil in water nano-emulsions were prepared by ultrasonic liquid processors and then transformed to encapsulate powder in spray dryer. dried powder was stored at 4 ˚c in refrigerator for determining moisture, encapsulation efficiency and morphology prop...

one of the methods to enhance bio-accessibility of drugs like acridone and its oxime is toform inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin. the formation of such complexes has beenconfirmed by changes in spectral characteristics and melting point data. the aqueous phasesolubility studies reveal 1:1 stoichiometry between the compound and, β-cyclodextrin. the studyof thermodynamic parameters like δg,...

Soft attachment of streptavidin to β-cyclodextrin-modified pegylated SAMs was efficiently performed in a reversible and repetitive way via orthogonal bifunctional linkers involving streptavidin-biotin recognition and redox-driven multivalent host-guest (β-cyclodextrin-ferrocene) interactions.
