Cyclolab Alpha-cyclodextrin is a hexasaccharide derived from glucose. It is related to the β- (beta) and γ- (gamma) cyclodextrins, which contain seven and eight glucose units, respectively. All cyclodextrins are white, water-soluble solids with minimal toxicity.

Cyclolab Gamma-cyclodextrin is 8 linked D-glucopyranose units. Its unique functional characteristics make it useful for filtering out cholesterol molecules, which get trapped in the cyclodextrin rings.

Cyclolab Sulfobutylated beta-cyclodextrin sodium salt (DS~6.5) is an excipient compound incorporating a chemically modified cyclodextrin with a structure that optimizes the solubility and stability of active pharmaceuticals and their properties. It is a highly water-soluble anionic cyclodextrin derivative. It can easily form non-covalent inclusion complexes with drug molecules and therefore reduce drug toxicity and haemolysis as well as control drug release rate. Its complexing properties also make it suitable for masking unpleasant odors and tastes of pharmaceutical products. It is used as an excipient in injection, oral, nasal and eye medication.
