The present invention provides an adsorbent polymer that can be used to lower or eliminate the cholesterol concentration in various materials. Adsorbent polymers are based on cyclodextrins.n n n The adsorbent polymer can also be used as a medicament for the treatment of hypercholesterine blood in a subject. Preferred forms of the adsorbent polymer of the present invention include poly (β-cyclodextrin acrylate), poly (β-cyclodextrin galacturate), poly (β-cyclodextrin methacrylate), and poly (β-cyclodextrin glycerol). Cyl methacrylate), poly (β-cyclodextrin vinyl chloride) and poly (β-cyclodextrin acrylamide). |
