Glyconanocavities: Cyclodextrins and Beyond

Abstract

Cyclodextrins (CDs) represent a unique example of complementarity between nanotechnology and biotechnology. Their molecular nanocavity character and the possibility of selective functionalization offer an excellent opportunity for chemical elaboration of unique nanostructures in a three-dimensional network. Several approaches from our laboratories, aimed at endowing CDs with biorecognition properties by incorporation of saccharide ligands, are discussed. Applications range from site-specific drug delivery systems to more fundamental studies on carbohydrate–protein interactions. Results on the de novo synthesis of a new family of glyconanocavities constructed from α,α-trehalose building blocks, namely cyclotrehalans (CTs), and on their complexing properties are also presented.

  45. We have previously used the term “cyclotrehalins” and the corresponding acronym “CTs” for cyclic oligomers of α,α′-trehalose in line with the simplified nomenclature proposed for cyclooligosaccharides by F.W. Lichtenthaler and S. Immel: Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 5, 2045 (1994). However, according to the current IUPAC-IUMB recommendations for carbohydrate nomenclature, the correct term should be “cyclotrehalans”. See, A.D. McNaught: Pure Appl. Chem. 68, 1919 (1996)
