Characteristics & Application:
Methylated-β-Cyclodextrin is widely used in modern research and applications. It can be soluble both in water and in organic solvents.
In the Pharmaceutical Industry, it can increase solubility and bioavailability of drugs, adjust and control the drug release rate, reduce drug side-effects, and enhance the stability of drugs (particularly for oil-soluble molecules).
In Commodities, Chemicals and Cosmetics, Methylated-β-Cyclodextrin can reduce microbial contamination and skin irritations, keep skin moist, mask bad odors, and promote transdermal absorption of active ingredients.
Methylated-β-Cyclodextrin has a larger surface tension in common cyclodextrin derivatives.
