in granules that vary in shape in the form of amylose and amylopectin. Starch-degrading …

Current pharmacological treatments of atherosclerosis often target either cholesterol control
or inflammation management, to inhibit atherosclerotic progression, but cannot lead to direct …

Background Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a biophysical technique widely used to
study molecular interactions in biological and non-biological systems. It can provide …

The host–guest chemistry of large-ring cyclodextrins (LRCDs) has been largely unexplored
due to the lack of suitable guest molecules that bind with significant affinities to enable …

Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant
effects. However, its application in the food industry is very limited owing to its low water …

Of all the active compounds in rosemary extract, carnosic acid (CaA) has the most potent
antimicrobial and antioxidant activity; however, its low solubility limits its applications. We …

RNA i enables potent and specific gene silencing, potentially offering useful means for
treatment of cancers. However, safe and efficient drug delivery systems (DDS) that are …

The synthesis of gold nanoparticles stabilized in an aqueous phase by cyclodextrins (CD)
was performed. The solvent-dispersed nanoparticles were characterized by transmission …

The water solubility of domperidone (DMP) could be improved by complexation with large
ring cyclodextrins (LR-CDs). LR-CDs contain a relatively hydrophobic cavity that is capable …

Fat-soluble vitamins (FSV) have beneficial biological activities, but their application is limited
due to low solubility and stability. We investigated the capability of cycloamylose (CA) to …
