Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (CAS 128446-36-6) is a modified cyclodextrin derivative widely recognized for its excellent inclusion complex formation, high aqueous solubility, and superior ability to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble compounds. It is extensively used in pharmaceutical formulation, biotechnology, life science research, and drug delivery applications.
Due to its strong affinity for cholesterol, Methyl-β-cyclodextrin is commonly employed in cell biology studies to selectively extract cholesterol from cell membranes, making it an important reagent for membrane structure and lipid raft research. In pharmaceutical development, it improves the stability, dissolution, and delivery efficiency of active pharmaceutical ingredients through host–guest complex formation.
