Product Description
DM-β-CD (2,6-Di-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin) is a cyclic molecule consisting of seven glucose units modified with two methyl groups at the 2- and 6-positions. It is often used as a solubilizer and carrier for poorly soluble drugs in pharmaceutical preparations. In addition, it has applications in analytical chemistry, food science, and environmental remediation due to its ability to form inclusion complexes with various guest molecules, such as aromatic compounds, pesticides, and heavy metals.
DM-β-CD (2,6-Di-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin) (CAS 51166-71-3) is a β-cyclodextrin derivative with enhanced water solubility. It is commonly utilized as a solubilizer and carrier for poorly soluble drugs in pharmaceutical formulations. Its ability to form inclusion complexes with various guest molecules—such as aromatic compounds, pesticides, and heavy metals—makes it valuable in analytical chemistry, food science, and environmental remediation. It can effectively dissolve lipophilic drugs to improve solubility and bioavailability.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DM-β-CD does not have a defined pharmacological target. It is a pharmaceutical excipient used to improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Its mechanism of action involves the formation of inclusion complexes: its hydrophilic exterior allows it to interact with water, while its hydrophobic cavity can encapsulate lipophilic drug molecules. This enhances drug dissolution and absorption.
ln Vitro
For life science-related study, DM-β-CD is a biochemical reagent that can be utilized as an organic substance or biological material.
In vitro, DM-β-CD is used as a solubilizer and carrier for poorly soluble drugs in pharmaceutical formulations. It enhances the solubility and stability of poorly soluble drugs, making it a valuable excipient in the development of oral and injectable medications. It is used to measure the equilibrium constant of its complexes with various enantiomeric pairs of chiral nitroxides by EPR spectroscopy.
ln Vivo
In vivo, DM-β-CD is used to improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. By forming inclusion complexes with drug molecules, it enhances drug dissolution and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. The compound is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations for oral and injectable medications. It is also used as a stabilizer in pharmaceutical preparations.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro complexation studies, DM-β-CD is used to measure the equilibrium constant of its complexes with various guest molecules. Standard protocols involve dissolving the cyclodextrin and guest molecule in appropriate buffer and measuring the binding affinity using techniques such as isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), NMR spectroscopy, or fluorescence spectroscopy. The compound's ability to form inclusion complexes with aromatic compounds, pesticides, and heavy metals is also studied.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based experiments, DM-β-CD is not typically used directly in cell culture as a test compound. It is a pharmaceutical excipient used to formulate drug-cyclodextrin complexes that are then tested in cell-based assays. The compound's biocompatibility and lack of cytotoxicity make it suitable for use in drug delivery formulations.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, DM-β-CD is used as an excipient in drug formulations to improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Drug-cyclodextrin complexes are administered to rodents via oral gavage or intravenous injection. Pharmacokinetic parameters such as Cmax, AUC, and bioavailability are compared between drug alone and drug-cyclodextrin complex formulations.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of DM-β-CD as a standalone compound are not extensively characterized. The compound is a cyclodextrin derivative with molecular weight of approximately 1331.36 g/mol. As a large, hydrophilic molecule, it is not significantly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The compound is primarily used as an excipient to improve the pharmacokinetics of other drugs.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
DM-β-CD is generally considered to be non-toxic and biocompatible. It is used as a pharmaceutical excipient in oral and injectable formulations. The compound has low oral toxicity and is not significantly absorbed systemically. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed when handling the compound. Specific LD₅₀ values and toxicity classifications are available from safety data sheets.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
