As it turns out, magic is real. It's called chemistry. Or rather, teaching? What happens when you unleash a pharmaceutical chemist (yes, that kind) and his equally fearless wife into a room full of 7–10-year-olds?

Cyclodextrins in enzyme therapy? Hell yes! I loved this recent paper from Lucia Vizzoni, Anna Maria Piras and their team as it discusses some disruptive cyclodextrin applications. What is beautiful, if not this? sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Hats off!

“If Cyclodextrins Had a Job Interview” We have all faced tough moments during an interview. Mr. Cyclodextrin definitely expected this one coming and tackled it pretty well. What was your most unexpected question? And how did you handle?

Gut health is evolving. Cyclodextrins are turning pre + pro + postbiotics into ONE smart system. - Feed the microbes - Protect the probiotics - Deliver the postbiotics linkedin.com/pulse/pre-pro-…

Running x Entrepreneurship For my talk today at GlycanDrug meeting I am doing my usual preparation to clear my mind: Seville 21k this time. It does matter: running away FROM the business or FOR the business.

Stroke treatment with HPBCD - how it works? A fantastic study came out recently from University of Arizona about Plasma Biomarker Profiling of 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Treatment in an Aged Mouse Model of Ischemic Stroke. Read the story: mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/2…

Combining two cyclodextrins in one product? Why not! A small amount of γ-CD (β-CD:γ-CD = 1:0.1) was sufficient to inhibit the crystallization of FP/β-CD complex. doi.org/10.1016/j.xphs…

A breakthrough that captures unbound bilirubin before it can harm the body could change newborn care forever. Read the patent here:worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/… I hope to see some efficacy and selectivity data soon as the topic is fascinating!

Stealing the crown of Sugammadex? Recent clinical data shows: - no difference in safety between adamgammadex and sugammadex. - Adamgammadex was noninferior to sugammadex in reversing deep neuromuscular block from rocuronium. bjanaesthesia.org/article/S0007-…

Carbo is conquering CPhI India Our local team led by DR NASEEM KHAN is passionatly sharing cyclodextrin applications and knowledge with the growing Indian Pharma Industry. Should we have a booth next time?

Love how our team is expanding :)

Using cyclodextrins in protein synthesis? Sounds like a far shot, huh? This patent describes an efficient method for synthesizing self-assembling artificial proteins (SAPs) utilizing a catalytic host-guest system. worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDet…

Uff, I should have seen this coming... Apparently, the inclusion is not always in our favor :) Who else can relate today?

We keep hearing “AI will replace doctors and pharma R&D.” But maybe we’re asking the wrong question. The future isn’t man or machine. It’s the teams bold enough to embrace both. How do you use AI today and how do you think you will in the future?
