Description

MilliporeSigma Sigma Organics products encompass a wide range of quality reagents, solvents, catalysts, and building blocks for organic synthesis. From benchtop discovery to process development and scale-up, Sigma Organics solutions are built to meet the needs of synthetic chemists.

Gamma-cyclodextrin (+a-CD) is a cyclic +a-1,4-glucan linked oligosaccharide that is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In drug delivery, +a-CD can be used as a complexing agent because it forms an inclusion complex with a drug molecule. The complex of cyclodextrin increases the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of the drug, which is useful for the delivery of the medical agent to a biological system.+a-Cyclodextrin can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of: Octakis-(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-carboxymethyl)-+a-cyclodextrin sodium salt (ODMCM). ODMCM is used in capillary electrophoresis as a chiral resolving agent.Water-soluble cyclodextrin thioethers derivatives for the transportation of hydrophobic drugs.Cavasol is a registered trademark of Wacker Chemie AG
