Abstract
Cyclodextrins are oligosaccharides with a wide range of applications since the last decades of the 20th century, although their discovery occurred at the end of the 19th century. Due to their donut-like structure and, essentially, their amphiphilic characteristics, cyclodextrins make it possible to modify the physicochemical properties of many compounds through the formation of supramolecular complexes. One of the most common modifications is making insoluble
or sparingly soluble compounds soluble in aqueous systems. With so many predicates, many other ways of using cyclodextrins have been developed. Due to the presence of hydroxyl groups on both ends of the donut, cyclodextrins allow both polymerization and their use as substituent... (More)
Cyclodextrins are oligosaccharides with a wide range of applications since the last decades of the 20th century, although their discovery occurred at the end of the 19th century. Due to their donut-like structure and, essentially, their amphiphilic characteristics, cyclodextrins make it possible to modify the physicochemical properties of many compounds through the formation of supramolecular complexes. One of the most common modifications is making insoluble
or sparingly soluble compounds soluble in aqueous systems. With so many predicates, many other ways of using cyclodextrins have been developed. Due to the presence of hydroxyl groups on both ends of the donut, cyclodextrins allow both polymerization and their use as substituent groups in polymers or nanoparticles, among others. In recent years, methods of synthesizing cyclodextrin nanosponges have markedly developed, as they combine high surface areas with a high
complexation capacity, finding numerous applications in biomedical and environmental areas. This article summarizes the path followed by cyclodextrins since their discovery. (Less)
