%X Cyclodextrins are naturally oligosaccharides which had cyclic glucopyranoside units even if six units to form <em>¦Á</em>-cyclodextrin (<em>¦Á</em>-CD), seven units <em>¦Â</em>-cyclodextrin (<em>¦Â</em>-CD) or eight units <em>¦Ã</em>-cyclodextrin (<em>¦Ã</em>-CD) and some other derivatives. It has a truncated cone shape with a hydrophobic cavity and a hydrophilic from the external surface of cyclodextrins. Gold nanoparticles incorporated with cyclodextrins enhanced optical and electrical properties of the resulting conjugates, due to the gold nanoparticles¡¯ unique physical and chemical properties because of their surface plasmon resonance. Here is a review of gold nanoparticles/cyclodextrin¡¯s different applications including sensing, antimicrobial effect, and their variable medical/pharmaceutical applications. Generally, gold nanoparticles and cyclodextrin conjugates showed developed and pronounced advantages due to their biocompatibility and enhanced physical and electric properties.
