Sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin sodium salt, also abbreviated as SBECD, is an anionic CD derived from glucose. Its molecular structure is shaped like a tapered cylinder with a cavity that can include other guest molecules. SBECD is a β-CD derivative obtained by replacing native β-CD with sulfobutyl ether groups and sodium ions along the length of the molecule. Considering the cost, cavity size, and toxic effects of native CDs, SBECD with superior solubility properties was developed. As a commonly used pharmaceutical CD, SBECD is primarily used to enhance the solubility of poorly soluble drugs as an excipient or formulation [1].

SBECD has excellent solubility and is mainly used for the solubilization of drugs. Some drugs with a lipophilic or high molecular weight have poor water solubility and low bioavailability, which limits their application [1]. As an excipient, SBECD improves the solubility of drugs, offering an option for developing effective drug candidates. Currently, SBECD is used in a drug called Voriconazole.
As one of the leading CD companies, Alfa Chemistry has a dedicated team which has accumulated extensive expertise in the field of CD chemistry.
