The design and preparation of fluorescent labeled chitosan nanoparticles for intestinal delivery
Background: Chitosan is a biodegradable, biocompatible polymer regarded as safe for human dietary. Nanoparticles (NP) prepared with chitosan derivatives typically possess a positive surface charge and mucoadhesive properties such that can adhere to mucus membranes and release the drug payload in a sustained release manner. Current study is focused on preparation several kinds of chitosan formul...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of chitosan-magnetic iron nanoparticles
Absorption is a common technology used for water and wastewater treatment since it is often fast and efficient, while costly at the same time. Therefore, the development of low-cost and efficient adsorbents has led to the rapid growth of research interest in this regard. Chitosan is a natural polyaminosaccharide with effective adsorption properties, which is applied to remove various pollutants...
متن کاملTumor cell targeting using folate-conjugated fluorescent quantum dots and receptor-mediated endocytosis.
BACKGROUND Luminescent nanobioprobes with cell-targeting specificity are likely to find important applications in bioanalysis, biomedicine, and clinical diagnosis. Quantum dots (QDs) are unique and promising materials for such a purpose because of their fluorescence and large surface area for attaching cell-targeting molecules. METHODS We produced water-dispersible QDs by coating hydrophobic ...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles Coated with Carboxymethyl Chitosan Grafted Sodium Methacrylate
N-sodium acrylate-O-carboxymethyl chitosan [CMCH-g-PAA(Na)] bound Fe3O4 nanoparticles were developed as a novel magnetic nanoparticles with an ionic structure that can be potentially used in many fields. CMCH-g-PAA (Na) was obtained by grafting of sodium polyacrylate on O-carboxymethyl chitosan, which is an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte with the biocompatibility and biodegra...
