Synthesis of carbohydrate conjugated 6A,6D-bifunctionalized ß cyclodextrin derivatives as potential liver cancer drug carriers.

Galactosyl and lactosyl conjugated 6A,6D-bifunctionlized ß cyclodextrin derivatives were designed and synthesized as the potential liver cancer drug carriers through SN2 replacement and click reactions in order to increase liver cancer drug's targeting ability, solubility and stability. The synthetic methods and strategies to obtain the designed compounds were discussed.
