Abstract

Nonionic amphiphilic cyclodextrins prepared by hydroxyethylation of heptakis(6-alkylthio)-β-cyclodextrins form bilayer vesicles composed solely of amphiphilic cyclodextrins in water (see schematic representation). Such vesicles combine the properties of liposomes and macrocyclic host molecules, and create new possibilities for the development of advanced carrier and delivery systems.
