Description

Hexakis-(2,6-Di-o-Pentyl)-α-Cyclodextrin is a chemically modified α-cyclodextrin derivative, specifically engineered with pentyl groups to enhance its lipophilicity and molecular encapsulation capabilities. This modification is critical for creating stable host-guest complexes with non-polar or poorly soluble compounds, significantly improving their solubility, stability, and bioavailability. It is an essential advanced material for researchers and formulators in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking innovative solutions for solubility and delivery challenges. The compound is supplied under the CAS registry number 120336-45-0.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a solubility enhancer and stabilizer for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with poor aqueous solubility, facilitating formulation development.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a chiral selector in gas chromatography (GC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the separation of enantiomers.
• Catalysis & Synthesis: Serving as a supramolecular catalyst or a reaction medium modifier in organic synthesis to influence reaction selectivity and yield.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used to encapsulate pesticides or herbicides, improving their stability, solubility, and controlled release profiles.
• Fragrance & Flavor Stabilization: For the encapsulation of volatile or sensitive fragrance and flavor compounds to prolong shelf-life and control release.
• Material Science: As a building block for creating functionalized surfaces, polymers, or nano-assemblies with specific molecular recognition properties.

Quality Control

Every batch of Hexakis-(2,6-Di-o-Pentyl)-α-Cyclodextrin is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and development specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
