We describe the preparation and study of novel cavitands, molecular bowls 16+ and 26+, as
good binders of the anticancer drug methotrexate (MTX). Molecular bowls are comprised of …

Three novel gold nanoparticles containing multiple long, flexible linkers decorated with
lactose, β-cyclodextrin, and both simultaneously have been prepared. The interaction of …

Riluzole (RLZ), a sodium channel-blocking benzothiazole anticonvulsant BCS class II drug,
is very slightly soluble in aqueous medium. To improve aqueous solubility and modulate …

A class of cyclodextrin (CD) dimers has emerged as a potential new treatment for
atherosclerosis; they work by forming strong, soluble inclusion complexes with oxysterols …

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used in China for thousands of years for the
prevention and treatment of various diseases. The materials that exert a therapeutic effect …

We describe the preparation, assembly, recognition characteristics, and bioactivity of
dendritic basket 612−. This novel cavitand has a deep aromatic pocket with three (S) …

The difference in the complexation affinity of methotrexate (MTX) to the naturally occurring α-
, β-and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs) as well as to the novel synthetic dimeric and polymeric β …

From a pharmaceutical standpoint, cyclodextrin-based products have deservedly gained
substantial market share due to their ability to improve undesirable physicochemical …

A hydrogel of xanthan gum (XG) was improved by crosslinking hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin
(HPCD) physically to construct a novel drug delivery system. This hydrogel was full of the …

The design and construction of tumor-targeted drug delivery systems provide us a facile
method to treat cancers selectively. In this work, a biotin-targeting inclusion complex based …
