Cyclodextrins Exert a Ligand-like Current Inhibitory Effect on the KV1.3 Ion Channel Independent of Membrane Cholesterol Extraction
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides capable of forming water-soluble complexes with a variety of otherwise poorly soluble molecules including cholesterol and different drugs. Consistently, CDs are widely used in research and clinical practice to deplete cholesterol from cellular membrane...
