Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of a new targeted drug carrier system: beta-cyclodextrin coupled to oxytocin.

Description : Beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) was monofunctionalized into its carboxylic derivative and then conjugated to the N-side of oxytocin (OT), a nonapeptide involved in human behavior and myometrium contraction. On isolated rat myometrium, this conjugate (beta-CD-OT) partly preserves the contracting activity...
