Comparison of the capacity of β-cyclodextrin derivatives and cyclophanes to shuttle cholesterol between cells and serum lipoproteins

Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that low concentrations of cyclodextrins (<1.0 mm), when added to serum, act catalytically as cholesterol shuttles to accelerate the exchange of free cholesterol between cells and serum lipoproteins. As cholesterol shuttles, cyclodextrins ha...
