Atherosclerosis, also known as heart disease, is caused by the accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries. So far, the drugs for this disease are statins and cholesterol lowering drugs, but the process of action is very long and requires a strict lifestyle to slowly reduce plaques within a few years.
Many researchers have made detailed scientific research on Cyclodextrin, and found that Cyclodextrin can enhance the transport of cholesterol in the body, which has great benefits for age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, Atherosclerosis, stroke, etc.
Therefore, researchers conducted experiments with Cyclodextrin and designed a specific Cyclodextrin with enhanced cholesterol transport capacity. Cholesterol can be inhaled into the cavity, combined with Cyclodextrin and excreted through urine. Researchers found in mice that this Cyclodextrin drug can remove cholesterol from damaged and narrowed arteries, thereby increasing blood flow. Therefore, researchers applied this drug to patients and observed its significant effects on blood lipids and liver enzymes. Within just 4 weeks, the patient's cholesterol levels decreased, liver function improved significantly, and within 2 months, they showed a reduction in biliary plaques.
Cyclodextrin and its derivatives, as important materials in the field of Supramolecular chemistry, derive infinite applications and reverie with their special cavity molecular structure. In China, its theoretical research is synchronized with international research, but its application technology and promotion have not yet realized its huge potential, and its broad prospects urgently need to be developed.
