Cyclodextrins (CDs) are abundantly explored in the field of medicines for the design of various types of drug delivery systems. They are cyclic oligosaccharides carrying α (1,4) glucopyranose units and able to build aqueous soluble inclusion complexes with various small and large drug molecules. The...
