“…3) Cyclodextrins (CyDs), cyclic oligosaccharides, are able to form inclusion complexes with hydrophobic drugs, improving their water solubility, stability and bioavailability. 4,5) CyDs can also form inclusion complexes with a number of isoprenoid compounds, such as CoQ10, [6][7][8][9] vitamin A, D, E, K, [10][11][12] β-carotene, 13) lycopene, 14) and teprenone, 15) and then improve their water solubility, stability and bioavailability. Likewise, Uekama and colleagues reported that 2,6-di-O-methyl-β-CyD (DM-β-CyD) or γ-CyD markedly improves solubility and oral bioavailability of CoQ10 in rats, dogs or humans.…”
