Biodegradation and drug release of chitosan gel beads in subcutaneous air pouches of mice.
Chitosan (CS) gel beads were prepared in 10% amino acid solution (pH 9) and implanted into air pouches (AP) prepared subcutaneously on the dorsal surface of mice. No inflammatory response was observed, and degradation of the beads in the AP increased as their degree of deacetylation decreased. Degradation could be altered by changing the nature of the CS or by increasing the CS concentration. T...
متن کاملPreparation and drug retention of biodegradable chitosan gel beads.
Chitosan (CS) gel beads containing drug could be prepared in amino acid solutions of pH about 9, despite the requirement for a pH above 12 for gelation in water. This phenomenon was observed not only in amino acid solutions but also in solutions of compounds having amino groups. A solute concentration of more than 10% was required for preparation of gel beads at pH 9. Gelation of the CS beads r...
متن کاملThe controlled release of a drug from biodegradable chitosan gel beads.
Chitosan (CS) forms a gel in solutions with a pH above 12, and the gelation occurs at pH of about 9 in 10% amino acid solutions. In this paper, we investigated the enzymatic degradation and the drug release profile of this novel CS gel beads. The degradability of the CS gel beads was affected by the CS properties, e.g. the degree of deacetylation. The release of prednisolone (PS), as a model dr...
متن کاملMucoadhesive and Drug Release Properties of Benzocaine Gel
Gel dosage forms are successfully used as drug delivery systems considering their ability to control drug release and to protect medicaments from a hostile environment. The aim of this work was to investigate the properties of carbopol 934P polymeric system in water-misible cosolvents such as glycerin and alcohol. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic and the mucosal gel formulation is appl...
