Cyclodextrins (CD) are cyclic oligosaccharides composed of D-glucose units connected via (14) glycosidic bonds. Common cyclodextrins contain six (-CD); seven (-CD) or eight (gamma-CD) D-glucose units. Cyclodextrins are sometimes derivitized through esterification at positions two, three and/or six.(2-Carboxyethyl)--cy
