説明
α-Cyclodextrine (α-CD) is a cyclic oligosaccharide derived from corn (Trade name: Mirafit fbcx, ArtJen Complexus, Windsor, Ontario, Canada). It has been shown to form a stable complex with dietary fat. This complex is resistant to normal lipolytic hydrolysis by lipases and thereby reduces the absorption and bioavailability of dietary fat[1].

調製方法
Cyclodextrins are manufactured by the enzymatic degradation of
starch using specialized bacteria. For example, β-cyclodextrin is
produced by the action of the enzyme cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase
upon starch or a starch hydrolysate. An organic solvent is
used to direct the reaction that produces β-cyclodextrin, and to
prevent the growth of microorganisms during the enzymatic
reaction. The insoluble complex of β-cyclodextrin and organic
solvent is separated from the noncyclic starch, and the organic
solvent is removed in vacuo so that less than 1 ppm of solvent
remains in the β-cyclodextrin. The β-cyclodextrin is then carbon
treated and crystallized from water, dried, and collected.
一般的な説明
Hexagonal plates or blade-shaped needles.
反応プロフィール
Cyclohexapentylose has hydrophobic cavities. Cyclohexapentylose forms inclusion compounds with organic substances, salts, and halogens in the solid state or in aqueous solutions. Cyclohexapentylose is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
火災危険
Flash point data for Cyclohexapentylose are not available; however, Cyclohexapentylose is probably combustible.
応用例(製薬)
Cyclodextrins (α-Cyclodextrine) are ‘bucketlike’ or ‘conelike’ toroid molecules, with a rigid structure and a central cavity, the size of which varies according to the cyclodextrin type. The internal surface of the cavity is hydrophobic and the outside of the torus is hydrophilic; this is due to the arrangement of hydroxyl groups within the molecule. This arrangement permits the cyclodextrin to accommodate a guest molecule within the cavity, forming an inclusion complex.Cyclodextrins may be used to form inclusion complexes with a variety of drug molecules, resulting primarily in improvements to dissolution and bioavailability owing to enhanced solubility and improved chemical and physical stability.
Cyclodextrin inclusion complexes have also been used to mask the unpleasant taste of active materials and to convert a liquid substance into a solid material.
a-Cyclodextrin is used mainly in parenteral formulations.
However, as it has the smallest cavity of the cyclodextrins it can
form inclusion complexes with only relatively few, small-sized
molecules. In contrast, g-cyclodextrin has the largest cavity and can
be used to form inclusion complexes with large molecules; it has low
toxicity and enhanced water solubility.
In parenteral formulations, cyclodextrins have been used to produce stable and soluble preparations of drugs that would otherwise have been formulated using a nonaqueous solvent.
In eye drop formulations, cyclodextrins form water-soluble complexes with lipophilic drugs such as corticosteroids. They have been shown to increase the water solubility of the drug; to enhance drug absorption into the eye; to improve aqueous stability; and to reduce local irritation.
Cyclodextrins have also been used in the formulation of solutions,suppositories, and cosmetics.
安全性
Cyclodextrins are starch derivatives and are mainly used in oral and
parenteral pharmaceutical formulations. They are also used in
topical and ophthalmic formulations.
Cyclodextrins are also used in cosmetics and food products, and
are generally regarded as essentially nontoxic and nonirritant
materials. However, when administered parenterally, β-cyclodextrin
is not metabolized but accumulates in the kidneys as insoluble
cholesterol complexes, resulting in severe nephrotoxicity.
Cyclodextrin administered orally is metabolized by microflora in
the colon, forming the metabolites maltodextrin, maltose, and
glucose; these are themselves further metabolized before being
finally excreted as carbon dioxide and water. Although a study
published in 1957 suggested that orally administered cyclodextrins
were highly toxic, more recent animal toxicity studies in rats and
dogs have shown this not to be the case, and cyclodextrins are now
approved for use in food products and orally administered
pharmaceuticals in a number of countries.
Cyclodextrins are not irritant to the skin and eyes, or upon
inhalation. There is also no evidence to suggest that cyclodextrins
are mutagenic or teratogenic.

概要
Bacillus属細菌由来の糖転移酵素をデンプンに作用させて合成する.空洞状に油性物質を取り込み包接化合物を形成する
貯蔵
Cyclodextrins should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a
cool, dry place.Cyclodextrins are stable in the solid state if
protected from high humidity.
純化方法
Recrystallise α-cyclodextrin from 60% aqueous EtOH, then twice from water, and dry it for 12hours in a vacuum at 80o. It is also purified by precipitation from water with 1,1,2-trichloroethylene. The precipitate is collected, washed and resuspended in water. This is boiled to steam distil the trichloroethylene. The solution is then freeze-dried to recover the cyclodextrin. [Armstrong et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 1418 1986]. [Beilstein 19/12 V 789.]
