Hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSs) were modified by β-cyclodextrin via a "click" reaction, an amphiphilic copolymer with a trans-azobenzene structure was then assembled onto β-cyclodextrin to cover the surface of the HMSs. The prepared nanocomposites can release drugs in a "release-stop-release" manner by converting light irradiation.

Rhodium(0) nanoparticles stabilized by a polymer containing carboxylate and β-cyclodextrin moieties have high stability and catalytic activity for aqueous hydrogenation reactions of olefins and aromatic substrates. This catalytic system can be recycled and reused without loss of activity. These high catalytic performances can be attributed to conjugated electrostatic interactions (carboxylate g...

This study presents improvement in solubility and dissolution rate of valsartan (VAL) using β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-βCD). Formation and characterization of solid inclusion complexes were investigated by DSC, FTIR, SEM, HNMR and in-vitro dissolution studies. Preparation method influenced physical properties of binary mixtures. Inclusion complexes obtained by co-...

Two DNA conjugates modified with ferrocene and β-cyclodextrin were prepared as a pair of probes that work cooperatively for DNA sensing, in which the electrochemical signal of ferrocene on one probe was significantly "quenched" by the formation of an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin of the other probe on the DNA templates.

OBJECTIVES To compare the ability of different cyclodextrin polysulphate (CDPS) derivatives to affect human articular cartilage cell metabolism in vitro. METHODS OA chondrocytes were cultured in alginate and exposed to 5 µg/ml of 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin (ME-CD), 2,3-di-O-methyl-6-sulphate-β-cyclodextrin (ME-CD-6-S), 2,6-di-O-methyl-3-sulphate-β-cyclodextrin (ME-CD-3-S), (2-carboxyet...

Abstract Bronze has been used for various applications since ancient times, and therefore, its preservation is critical. However, preserving bronze challenging. The traditional inhibitor sealing method limited by toxicity effects. In this study, a benzotriazole (BTA) loaded with composite hydrogel of sodium alginate cyclic-peptide-grafted β-cyclodextrin was prepared. chemical structure the comp...

In this study, β-cyclodextrin(β-CD) supported, hydroxyapatite encapsulated γ-Fe2O3 (γ-Fe2O3@HAp@β-CD) was successfully prepared and evaluated as a solid-liquid phase transfer catalyst and also a molecular host system and nanoreactor for the nucleophilic ring-opening of epoxides in water for the preparation of β-azido alcohols, β-nitro alcohols, an...

The dispersion routes of cyclodextrin complexes with nicardipine (NC), such as hydrophilic hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (NC/HPβCD) and hydrophobic triacetyl-β-cyclodextrin (NC/TAβCD), through the body for controlled drug delivery and sustained release have been examined. The two-compartment pharmacokinetic model described the mechanisms of how the human body handles with ingestion of NC-cyclode...
