Hydroxy Propyl Beta Cyclodextrin

Introduction
Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin (HPβCD) is a chemically modified cyclodextrin derived from natural starch. It is widely used as a solubilizing, stabilizing, and encapsulating agent due to its unique molecular structure, which allows it to form inclusion complexes with a wide range of poorly soluble compounds.
Compared to native beta cyclodextrin, HPβCD offers significantly improved water solubility and safety, making it suitable for advanced pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.
 
Applications
Hydroxypropyl Beta Cyclodextrin is commonly used in:
Pharmaceutical formulations
Drug solubilization & stabilization
Oral, injectable & topical formulations
Cosmetics & personal care products
