Now researchers in the US have discovered how to modify cyclodextrins to take other chemical groups, opening the way to making related compounds with useful new properties.

For example, it should be easy to replace hydroxy (OH) groups with carboxy groups (COO --RRB- and so allow the cyclodextrin to form complexes with positively charged species.

Last year, two groups led by Jacques Defaye at the French national research centre CNRS, and Fraser Stoddart, then at the University of Sheffield, independently reported making another cyclodextrin derivative, per (3,6 - anhydro) cyclodextrin.

My group is also working on A2E lipofuscin in the retina, and we've managed to remove it with a different treatment (using cyclodextrins).
