Design of Chitosan and Its Water Soluble Derivatives-Based Drug Carriers with Polyelectrolyte Complexes
Chitosan, the cationic polysaccharide derived from the natural polysaccharide chitin, has been studied as a biomaterial for more than two decades. As a polycationic polymer with favorable properties, it has been widely used to form polyelectrolyte complexes with polyanions for various applications in drug delivery fields. In recent years, a growing number of studies have been focused on the pre...
متن کاملChitosan-based polyelectrolyte complexes for drug delivery
Among different polymers, chitosan, the N-deacetylated product of the polysaccharide chitin, is gaining increasing importance in medical and pharmaceutical applications due to its good mucoadhesion and absorption enhancing ability. Moreover, chitosan shows the ability to form hydrogels able to control the rate of drug release from the delivery system as well as protect the drug from chemical an...
متن کاملVersatile Chemical Derivatizations to Design Glycol Chitosan-Based Drug Carriers.
Glycol chitosan (GC) and its derivatives have been extensively investigated as safe and effective drug delivery carriers because of their unique physiochemical and biological properties. The reactive functional groups such as the amine and hydroxyl groups on the GC backbone allow for easy chemical modification with various chemical compounds (e.g., hydrophobic molecules, crosslinkers, and acid-...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Chitosan Nanoparticles as Novel Drug Carriers for the Delivery of Donepezil
The present study deals with the formulation and evaluation of chitosan nanoparticles containing donepezil hydrochloride for the targeted delivery to the brain. Nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method using sodium tripolyphos-phate (TPP) as a cross linking agent followed by sonication. Nanoparticles were obtained in the average size ranging from 116.8 to 227.5 nm. Particle m...
متن کاملApplication of novel chitosan derivatives in dissolution enhancement of a poorly water soluble drug.
Solid dispersions of the poorly water soluble drug dexamethasone and newly synthesized chitosan derivatives (chitosan succinate, CS, and chitosan phthalate, CP) were prepared by spray drying. The resulting microspheres were evaluated in terms of their drug loading or encapsulation efficiency as well as drug release profile. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD...
