Cyclodextrin is expected to treat atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis means that the deposition of a layer of atherosclerotic material on the wall of the artery, including cholesterol crystallization, which reduces the elasticity of the artery and narrows the lumen, It is often leading to fatal diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Cholesterol crystallization can trigger an immune response. Leading to deadly inflammation of the arterial wall. Studies have shown that cyclodextrin can relieve cholesterol transport disorders in brain cells in patients with congenital glycolipid metabolic disease, Cyclodextrins may help clear cholesterol crystals deposited on the walls of atherosclerotic patients, thus channelling the blood.

Cyclodextrins can be used to develop drugs for treating atherosclerosis. However, although cyclodextrin as a solvent for some insoluble drugs has already entered the market, it needs further clinical research as a new drug for the treatment of atherosclerosis.
