Description

6,6-Di-o-Maltosyl-β-Cyclodextrin is a highly modified, water-soluble cyclodextrin derivative designed for advanced molecular encapsulation. This compound matters because its unique structure, featuring two maltosyl extensions, significantly enhances solubility and binding affinity compared to native β-cyclodextrin, making it a superior host molecule for complexing hydrophobic guest compounds. It is primarily needed by researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to improve the stability, bioavailability, and delivery of active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Solubilization & Stabilization: Enhancing the aqueous solubility and chemical stability of poorly soluble drug candidates in pre-formulation and drug delivery systems.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Formulations: Acting as an advanced carrier for bioactive compounds, vitamins, and fragrances to improve their efficacy and shelf-life.
• Analytical Chemistry & Chiral Separation: Serving as a chiral selector or complexing agent in capillary electrophoresis and chromatographic methods for enantiomer separation.
• Catalysis & Organic Synthesis: Providing a supramolecular reaction environment to influence reaction rates, selectivity, and product yields.
• Food Science: Potential use in masking off-flavors, protecting sensitive ingredients, or controlling the release of additives.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a tool to study protein-ligand interactions, enzyme inhibition, and membrane processes.

Quality Control

Our 6,6-Di-o-Maltosyl-β-Cyclodextrin is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and related substances are provided and available upon request. We support development and cGMP-grade requirements for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). To prevent moisture uptake and decomposition, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. Consider storing under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation of quality.
