Electrochemistry of Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes of Pharmaceutical Compounds

Abstract

Electrochemistry of cyclodextrins (CDs) and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes with different pharmaceutical compounds is reviewed. The article highlights some electrochemical investigations of the CD-drugs interactions in solution. Cyclodextrin modified electrodes and their applications as electrochemical sensors in pharmaceutical analysis based on the self-assembly of CD derivatives on metal electrodes and nanoparticles, and cyclodextrin-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes are also discussed.
