Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are ubiquitous excipients, constituted of cyclic glucopyranose units, and possess a unique dual nature, that of a hydrophobic interior and a hydrophilic exterior. This enables their interaction with lipid-affinitive compounds and hydrophilic compounds, thereby augmenting their application in pharmaceutical formulations as agents for improving solubility, as well as fundamental elements of advanced drug delivery systems. Additionally, CDs, upon suitable modification, can strategically participate in the interaction with cellular components and physical barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier, where their intricate and multifunctional engagement leads to various biological impacts. This review consolidates the crucial features of CDs and their derivatives, and summarizes the applications of them as drug delivery systems in neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing their notable potentials.
环糊精(CD)是一种无处不在的辅料,由环状吡喃葡萄糖单元组成,具有独特的双重性质,即内部疏水,外部亲水。这使它们能够与脂质赋形剂化合物和亲水化合物相互作用,从而扩大了它们在药物制剂中的应用,成为提高溶解度的制剂和先进给药系统的基本要素。此外,CD 经适当修饰后,可战略性地参与与细胞成分和物理屏障(如血脑屏障)的相互作用,其错综复杂的多功能参与可产生各种生物影响。本综述总结了 CD 及其衍生物的主要特点,并概述了它们作为药物输送系统在神经退行性疾病中的应用,强调了它们的显著潜力。
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences (ISSN 1422-0067) provides an advanced forum for chemistry, molecular physics (chemical physics and physical chemistry) and molecular biology. It publishes research articles, reviews, communications and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their theoretical and experimental results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers or the number of electronics supplementary files. For articles with computational results, the full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material (including animated pictures, videos, interactive Excel sheets, software executables and others).
