Description
Hydroxyethyl Beta Cyclodextrin (HE-β-CD) is a chemically modified, high-purity (≥98%) derivative of β-cyclodextrin. It appears as a white, odorless, and slightly sweet powder. Its structure features a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic cavity, which allows it to form inclusion complexes with various hydrophobic molecules
Storage
Storage at room temperature
Applications
Hydroxyethyl Beta Cyclodextrin is employed in pharmaceutical formulations to significantly enhance the aqueous solubility of poorly soluble drugs, thereby improving their bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy, while also enabling controlled or modified release profiles. It acts as a versatile carrier for inclusion complexation, which facilitates oral, parenteral, and topical delivery of active ingredients.
