Chitosan-based Drug Delivery Systems
The most important characteristics of chitosans, which make them useful as delivery vectors for drugs and therapeutic proteins, are their excellent mucoadhesive and absorption enhancing properties [1-3]. The mucoadhesion is due to the electrostatic interaction between the positive charge on the chitosan polymer and the negatively charged sialic acid residues on the mucosal surface [4]. Because ...
متن کاملChitosan-based Nanoparticles in Mucosal Vaccine Delivery
Most infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic infiltrations from the mucosal tract. Nowadays, the use of vaccines has been widely investigated for the prevention of different infectious diseases, infertility, immune disorders, malignancies, and allergies. Broad-spectrum adjuvant substances have been studied for immune system stimulation with a greater efficiency against specific antigens. V...

متن کاملChitosan for Gene Delivery and Orthopedic Tissue
Gene therapy involves the introduction of foreign genetic material into cells in order exert a therapeutic effect. The application of gene therapy to the field of orthopaedic tissue engineering is extremely promising as the controlled release of therapeutic proteins such as bone morphogenetic proteins have been shown to stimulate bone repair. However, there are a number of drawbacks associated ...
متن کاملChitosan and Chitosan Derivatives in Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering
Chitosan is a nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible polysaccharide of b(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. This derivative of natural chitin presents remarkable properties that have paved the way for the introduction of chitosan in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Nevertheless, the properties of chitosan, such as its poor solubility in water or in organic solven...
