9. The pharmaceutical composition of any of claim 1, wherein at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.4, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 is a --O-(hydroxy-substituted-C.sub.3) group.

10. The pharmaceutical composition of any of claim 1, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 are independently --OH or a straight-chain or branched --O--(C.sub.1-C.sub.8-(alkylene))-SO.sub.3.sup.- group, and wherein the degree of substitution with a straight-chain or branched --O--(C.sub.1-C.sub.8-(alkylene))-SO.sub.3.sup.- group is 4 to 8 per cyclodextrin derivative.

11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1, wherein at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, R.sub.6, R.sub.7, R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 is substituted with a --O-(straight-chain C4-(alkylene))-SO.sub.3.sup.- group.

12. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1, wherein the cyclodextrin derivative is a compound of formula II: ##STR00010## wherein R.dbd.(H).sub.21-x or (--(CH.sub.2).sub.4--SO.sub.3.sup.-Na.sup.+).sub.x, and wherein x=6.0-7.1.
