Hydrophobic interactions Cyclodextrins (sometimes abbreviated CDX) are cyclic oligosaccharides constructed from glucose units (Figure 11) [70], The most common are the hexa-, hepta- and octamer species, called respectively, a-, /J- and y-cyclodextrins. In 1948, Freudenberg and Cramer discovered that cyclodextrins could form inclusion compounds [71]. The formation of these host-guest complexes was studied systematically by Cramer and coworkers [72].
