On April 11, 2016, Konkuk University announced that Professor Eunae Cho of the Institute for Ubiquitous Information Technology and Applications and Professor Seunho Jung of the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology identified that cyclodextrin functions as a regioselecive catalytic carbohydrate in organize solvent. Through the Research for Undergraduate Students program that is part of the University for Creative Korea (CK-II) project by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea, 4th-year KU student Hyunki Kim of the Department of Systems Biotechnology was also able to participate in the research. The results were published on Scientifc Reports in an article titled “Regioselective Self-acylating Cyclodextrins in Organic Solvent.” The research team synthesized amphiphilic cyclodextrins with self-acylating reaction using vinyl esters, but without a base, catalyst, or enzyme. The cyclodextrins functioned as regioselective catalytic carbohydrates, and this efficient method using the catalytic property of cyclodextrin may allow mass production of environmentally friendly and economical cyclodextrin derivatives. Professor Jung said, “I believe the research will contribute to the development of new, ecofriendly catalytic carbohydrates and can be used for nanovesicles.”
