Inability of α-cyclodextrins to accommodate cholesterol potentially underlies their lack of efficacy and ototoxicity in Niemann-Pick disease type C treatment

Abstract Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a life-threatening neurodegenerative disease caused by impaired intracellular cholesterol trafficking. A cyclic heptasaccharide, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), is currently under clinical investigation for treating NPC, but its ototoxicity rem...
