Efficient Perfacial Derivatization of Cyclodextrins at the Primary Face

Abstract Synthesis of thirteen cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives via the per-6-bromo-6-deoxy-CD is reported in order to demonstrate the efficiency and ease of perfacial functionalization of α, β and γCD employing a Vilsmeier-Haack reagent.

A Novel Esterification Procedure Applied to Synthesis of Biologically Active Esters of Foscarnet

Abstract The high reactivity of the phosphonoformate moiety requires development of a novel synthesis for esters of phosphonoformate, which is reported together with preliminary data on the antiviral activity of these esters.

Derivatized cyclodextrins as peptidomimetics: Influence on neurite growth

Abstract Per-6-bromo-6-deoxy-cyclodextrins may be functionalized to yield amine-derivatized cyclodextrin mimics of glycosaminoglycan sulfate binding domains of peptides, which inhibit neurite growth in vitro.
