Description: | Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (METHYL-beta-cyclodextrin) is a cycloheptanose that has a solubilizing effect on nonpolar substances and is widely used in the release of hydrophobic drugs. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin is also widely used as a cholesterol lowering agent. Methyl-β-cyclodextrin can significantly reduce clathrin-dependent endocytosis. |
Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
