Curcumin, the main active ingredient found in turmeric (Curcuma longa), offers a wide range of beneficial pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.However, its potential therapeutic benefits have been severely limited by its poor water solubility, which leads to very low oral bioavailability and rapid metabolism in the human body.Curcumin's hydrophobic nature causes its molecules to agglomerate in the body, resulting in minimal absorption

This podcast episode is about the key application of cyclodextrins: solubility enhancement. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are important functional excipients in pharmaceuticals, primarily recognized for their ability to solubilize poorly water-soluble drugs. They are cyclic oligosaccharides derived from starch, shaped like a truncated cone or torus. The exterior of the cone is hydrophilic, while its central cavity is relatively lipophilic, allowing it to interact with hydrophobic guest molecules.Here's an

For decades, scientists lived in a paradigm that cyclodextrins are useful excipients and additives with numerous applications and that’s it. The pioneers came and broke these chains, releasing the true potential of these molecules. First Sugammadex was discovered (which is now a blockbuster drug), and later long known cyclodextrins were re-purposed as active ingredients for various therapeutic indications. Some of these developments are now in phase III and II clinical trials for a rare genetic

Glycoscience is the study of carbohydrates (sugars) and their roles in biology. Today, we are focusing on lectins. Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar groups that are part of other molecules, so cause agglutination of particular cells or precipitation of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides. Lectins have a role in recognition at the cellular and molecular level and play numerous roles in biological recognition phenomena involving cells, carbohydrates, and
