Interaction of drugs with cyclodextrins

Compounds which have interior cavities which are large enough to incarcerate organic guest molecules have been named molecular container compounds. 

Over the last decade there has been growing interest in the interaction of dmgs with one group of container compounds, the a-, and y-cyclodextrins (cyclic D-glucose oligomers) and their now myriad derivatives. The cyclodextrin molecules have cyclic stmcmres with internal diameters of 0.6-1 nm (see section 5.6). The interior cavity of the cyclodextrin
