6-O-α-Maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin is a cellular cholesterol modifier. It can form a soluble inclusion complex with cholesterol.

6-O-α-Maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin removes cellular cholesterol forming inclusion complexes, while 6-O-α-Maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin-induced lack of cellular cholesterol is replenished by the addition of cholesterol/6-O-α-Maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex without cytotoxicity.
