title: Cyclodextrin-grafted polysaccharides as supramolecular carrier systems for naproxen.
abstract: Dextran, mannan and carboxymethylcellulose, previously activated by periodate oxidation, were grafted with beta-cyclodextrin moieties by reductive alkylation in the presence of sodium borohydride. These polymers were used as supramolecular carriers for naproxen, improving the "in vivo" anti-inflammatory properties of this drug.
