Today’s cyclodextrin is about cyclodextrin-based nanoscale drug delivery systems.

Fuat Topuz & Tamer Uyar summarized applications for CD-functional nano delivery systems based on polymeric, hybrid, lipid-based nanoparticles, and CD-based nanofibers.

Particular interest was in the targeted applications and the function of the CD molecules used. In most applications, CD molecules were used for drug solubilization and loading, while in some studies, CD molecules were employed for supramolecular complexation to construct nanoscale drug delivery systems.
