14.3.3 Cyclodextrin Assembled Nanocarriers Based on Enhanced
Permeability and Retention
For some specific purposes (for example, prodrugs), cyclodextrins are sometimes
assembled as nanoparticles for drug delivery utility. One of the most obvious
advantages is that nanoparticles can be designed to take advantage of the enhanced
