Obiettivo Cyclodextrins are a unique group of cyclic glucose oligomers. They arebiotechnologically produced from potato or maize starch to a reasonable price of 6-20 ECU/kg at present.The main objective of this proposal is to initiate a breakthrough for industrialapplications of cyclodextrins. Therefore the interesting inclusive properties ofcyclodextrins are to be used to retard, transport, separate and detect active substances. These functions will lead to a great variety of applications : improved drug delivery and slow release of active substances, refined pharmaceuticals, decontamination of waste waters and detection of poisons in the environment.The main objective is going to be reached within the following subprojects :- development of highly active cyclodextrin based resins for the decontamination of waste waters. Pollutants like chlorinated biphenyls are going to be removed by filtration techniques;- search for new large scale separation processes for stereoisomers by two phase separation systems, e.g. liquid/liquid or crystalline/liquid. These processes are of special interest as they can be carried out in high quantities (tons) and both batch and continuously;- development of specific chromatographic systems for the analytical and semipreparative separation of enantiomers. Special emphasis will be on advanced chromatographic techniques like supercritical fluid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis;- development of highly specific sensor devices from cyclodextrins. State of art waveguide technology will be used to construct devices for the fast and continuous detection of small amounts of dangerous pollutants in the environment;- design of cyclodextrin derivatives for the programmed targeting of drugs in the human body. Cyclodextrins have to be labelled with recognition sites for the desired destination in the body. Targeting of drugs has raised great attention in medicine as it minimizes undesirable side effects of drugs;- development of procedures for well defined and stable coatings of surfaces with cyclodextrin derivatives, especially cyclodextrin polymers. Surfaces of metals, textiles, paper and polymers have to be considered. This surface modification can be applied for thermotransfer printing, to improve dye adhesion, for antistatics or for anti-bacterial protection.
