Cover Story: Xenon (Xe) is an inert noble gas with anesthetic, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties, but its biomedical use is limited by poor aqueous solubility, chemical inertness, and high cost. α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) was investigated as a host for Xe stabilization and release. Molecular simulations revealed Xe inclusion within the α-CD cavity, together with surface association at higher Xe concentrations. Pressurized loading followed by lyophilization yielded Xe-containing α-CD solids that retained Xe and released it upon contact with water. These findings establish α-CD as an effective host for Xe capture, solid-state storage, and aqueous release, providing a basis for future biomedical delivery studies. View this paper
