The Potential of Amphiphilic Cyclodextrins as Carriers for Therapeutic Purposes: A Short Overview
Abstract
Cyclodextrins, since their discovery in the late 19th century, have gained tremendous interest in biomedical research, beginning with their recognition as safe pharmaceutical excipients, and continuing with exploiting their potential for enhancing the therapeutic response of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and also to be used as drugs for specific medical purposes. This review presents an integrative perspective on amphiphilic cyclodextrins, the manuscript being divided into two parts, one devoted to the properties of amphiphilic cyclodextrins, while the second one is dedicated to their biomedical applications, with an emphasis on cancer therapy.
