Cyclodextrins in Pharmaceutics, Cosmetics, and Biomedicine focuses on the derivatives and physicochemical and biological properties of cyclodextrins, and considers drug delivery through topical, mucosal, and oral via cyclodextrin complexes.

Coverage includes:

• The molecular and supramolecular aspects of cyclodextrin physicochemistry
• Applications of cyclodextrins in different delivery routes, including topical, mucosal, and oral
• The advantages of using cyclodextrins as excipients in pharmaceutical formulations and effect on bioavailability of drugs as a result of cyclodextrin complexation
• Cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles, nanospnges, nanoassemblies, and hydrogels
• Gene delivery, biotechnology applications, and cellular interactions
• The regulatory status and safety profiles of cyclodextrins
