α-Cyclodextrin(CAT: R023538) is a cyclic oligosaccharide consisting of six glucose units linked together in a ring shape. It is produced from starch using enzymes and has a hydrophobic interior and a hydrophilic exterior. α-Cyclodextrin is commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries as a solubilizer, stabilizer, and encapsulating agent. It is also used in analytical chemistry as a chiral stationary phase in chromatography. Additionally, α-Cyclodextrin has been studied for its potential applications in drug delivery systems, where it can form inclusion complexes with hydrophobic drugs to improve their solubility and bioavailability.
