Dear Colleagues, According to recent communications with some of our partners, we believe that there is potential interest in hosting
200th post: 33 years of past!
October 2019 is the month when the jubilee of our 200th post coincides with the 33rd anniversary of Cyclodextrin News!
Carbohydrate drugs (Part 6) (Polysaccharides)
Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate structures. The monomers are linked via glycosidic bonds. Some common examples are starch, glycogen or cellulose.
Carbohydrate drugs (Part 5) (Oligosaccharides, cyclodextrins)
First let’s talk about one of the biggest achievements in the history of cyclodextrin research: Sugammadex. Sugammadex (SGM) (BridionTM) (1a)
Carbohydrate drugs (Part 4) (Oligosaccharides, antibiotics)
In the next two posts we’ll take a closer look to the oligosaccharides (generally composed from 3 to 10 monosaccharide
Carbohydrate drugs (Part 3) (Disaccharides)
In the previous posts we talked a little bit about monosaccharide type active pharmaceutical ingredients. The next are disaccharides: composed of
Carbohydrate drugs (Part 2) (iminosugars and rare diseases)
In the part 1 we talked about monosaccharides used for the treatment of common diseases, like influenza or angina
Carbohydrate drugs (Part 1)
As we know, cyclodextrins are composed of α-D-glucopyranose units. Among pharmaceuticals there are several other carbohydrate type drugs. In this
