CD, a cyclic oligosaccharide containing glucopyranose units, acts as a versatile guest molecule, forming inclusion complexes (ICs) with various host molecules. Computational studies have become instrumental in elucidating the intricate interactions between β-CD and guest molecules, enabling the prediction of binding energy, forces, affinity, and complex stability. The computational approach has established robust correlations with experimental outcomes, enhancing our understanding of CD-mediated complexation phenomena. This comprehensive review delves into the CD based Inclusion complex (CDIC) formation and a myriad of components, including drug molecules, amino acids, vitamins, and volatile oils. These complexes find applications across diverse industries, ranging from pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals, food, fragrance, and beyond. In the pharmaceutical realm, β- CDICs offer innovative solutions for enhancing drug solubility, stability, and bioavailability, thus overcoming formulation challenges associated with poorly water-soluble drugs. Furthermore, the versatility of CDs extends beyond pharmaceuticals, with applications in the encapsulation of phytoactive compounds in nutraceuticals and the enhancing flavor, aroma in food and fragrance industries. This review underscores the pivotal role of CDs conjugation in modern drug delivery systems, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches that integrate computational modeling with experimental validation. As the pharmaceutical landscape continues to evolve, CDs-based formulations stand poised to drive innovation and address the ever-growing demand for efficacious and patient-friendly drug delivery solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9415,"journal":{"name":"Carbohydrate Research","volume":"549 ","pages":"Article 109357"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142871485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To overcome these challenges, Tricine, a hydrophilic molecule containing a secondary amine group, was conjugated to chitosan. Chitosan of three different molecular weights (low, medium, and high) was modified with tricine. Structural characterization of the modified chitosan was conducted using Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analyses.

The results demonstrated that tricine modification enhanced the gene transfer potential of chitosan, making it competitive with the commercial transfection agent Lipofectamine™ 2000 and offering a promising strategy for non-viral gene therapy applications.
