6-Deoxy-6-thio-b-cyclodextrin(CAS: 160661-60-9)

6-Deoxy-6-thio-b-cyclodextrin (CAS: 160661-60-9) is a modified form of cyclodextrin with a thioether linkage in the sixth position. It is a cyclic oligosaccharide having a hydrophobic cavity that can encapsulate various guest molecules for use in stabilizing, protecting, or modifying their properties.

6-Deoxy-6-thio-b-cyclodextrin is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for improving the solubility and stability of drugs, in food industries for enhancing the sensory properties of food products, and in research for encapsulating and delivering bioactive compounds.

6-Deoxy-6-thio-b-cyclodextrin is considered safe for its intended uses. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines, such as wearing gloves and eye protection during handling, and avoiding inhalation or ingestion. Stored properly, it poses no significant health risks.

6-Deoxy-6-thio-b-cyclodextrin should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Containers should be tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid contact with incompatible substances and store in a well-ventilated area to ensure proper air circulation.
