Recent List of Cyclodextrin-Containing Drug Products

The number of the cyclodextrin-containing drug formulations on the market has been continuously growing since the first drug (prostaglandin E1 formulated with α-cyclodextrin) was launched in Japan in 1976. We have collected a list of drugs from various sources available on the internet to find 130 approved pharmaceutical ingredients formulated with either parent cyclodextrins or their hydroxypropyl, sulfobutyl, random methylated or sulfolipo derivatives. We have sorted the drug products according to the cavity size of the cyclodextrins, the administration route and dosage forms.
