Opinion about Advances of Chitosan in Pharmaceutical Field: From Past to Now
ثبت نشده
چکیده
From long time, scientists are looking for natural biomolecules in order to discover new pharmaceutical agents. Therefore polysaccharides which are natural molecules from several biotopes (microbial, plant, algae, fungi, animals, and insects) constitute a very large potential of application for medical treatment. Among them, chitosan a deacetylated form of chitin (one of the most abundant polysaccharide in the world) and its derivatives are probably the pharmaceutical polysaccharides of now and the future due to intrinsic biological and chemical properties. In this present editorial opinion we describe the mainly commonly chemical and enzymatic processes investigated to generate chitosan and derivatives with pharmaceutical efficiency such as antitumoral agent, antimicrobial agent, antioxidant agent and tissular engineering agent.

Assessment of temperature anomalies between present time and cold periods of Plio-Pleistocene using geomorphic indicators (case study: Kazab-Yazd)
Climate changes and remained geomorphic evidences due to the changes has been interested by geomorphologists in the world. Different researches have shown that world climate has been changed successively in Pleistocene so that with decreasing in temperature and probably increasing in precipitation, glaciers has been progressed and with increasing in temperature and decreasing in precipitation, ...
متن کاملRemoval of Cd(II) ions from contaminated water by a new modified magnetic chitosan nano composite
Magnetic chitosan nanocomposites are one of the more recent advanced groups of adsorbents used to remove contaminants from waste water. In this research, N- Nicotinyl-N', N"-bis (Hexamethylenyl) phosphoric triamide (HE) was used as an additive to form a new nanocomposite with the structure of chitosan / 5% Fe3O4 Nps/10% HE resulting in the highly efficient removal of Cd(II...

A few major advances have occurred in the area of physicochemical modeling of organic compounds during the past several years, spurred on by changes in the pharmaceutical industry. Recent advances include the ability to categorize and screen the overall physicochemical properties of potential drug candidates based entirely on their molecular structures and the ability to model the components th...
متن کاملPreparation, Characterization and in vitro Studies of Chitosan Nanoparticles Containing Androctonus Crassicauda scorpion venom
Many strategies have been developed to improve vaccine delivery in the past decade. The aim of the current study was to develop a nanoparticulate system based on ionic gelation between chitosan and tripolyphosphate in order to load Androctonus Crassicauda scorpion venom. The best formulation was selected according to the highest association efficiency, loading capacity, optimum particle size an...
متن کاملCurrent Opinion on Chitosan and its Derivatives: Biological Impact in Antimicrobial Applications
If we take a look on Scopus website from the last 5 years, we could see that chitosan and its chemical/enzymatic derivatives are ranked in one of the first bio-polysaccharide described for pharmaceutical applications. As for example, in 2012 using “chitosan” and a combination of “chitosan and pharmaceutical” we found, respectively, 4027 and 1588 publications whereas for 2016 we found respective...
