Abstract
Cyclodextrins are pharmaceutical excipients used to enhance the solubility, stability, safety and bioavailability of drugs. Recent findings have shown them to display adjuvant activity in vaccine therapy and prophylactic and therapeutic activity in the treatment of several host-pathogen infections. This article focuses on their activity and mechanism of action.
