Summary
It is known that the methylated analogues of β-cyclodextrin dissolve in cold water 10–20 times better than β-cyclodextrin itself and have good complex-forming property.
It has been investigated how these cyclodextrin derivatives influence the activity of some enzymes.
The results of the experiments with lipase indicate that the rate of glyceride-hydrolysis is higher in the aqueous solution of dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin (10 %) than in the presence of the bile as a natural emulgeator.
The activity of the alkaline phosphatase rises both in the presence of β-cyclodextrin and dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin.
In the case of α-amylase (from Aspergillus oryzae) the in-hibition of the activity by dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin is similar as that of β-cyclodextrin.
