SBE-β-CD is a sulfobutylether β-cyclodextrin derivative used as an excipient or a formulating agent to increase the solubility of poorly soluble agents^[1].

SBE-β-CD is a chemically modified β-CD that is a cyclic hydrophilic oligosaccharide which is negatively charged in aqueous media. β-CD functioned is a solubilizer only at low concentrations, whereas SBE7-β-CD exhibits strong solubilizing effects over a wide concentration range^[1].
