abstract

the chitosan nanoparticles used widely as a drug delivery systems recently. in the present study the echis carinataus snake venom loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared based on ionic gelation of tripolyphosphate and chitosan. the nanoparticles physicochemical characteristics, stability and biological activity of encapsulated venom were studied. the particles were spherical in shape and the tripolyphosphoric groups of tpp were linked to the ammonium groups of chitosan. optimum particle size of chitosan and venom loaded nanoparticles were 89 and 116 nm, respectively. optimum loading capacity and loading efficiency obtained by 500 µg/ml concentration of venom. the biological activity of venom remained intact during nanoparticle formation and showed no considerable reduction in stability analysis. our results suggested that chitosan nanoparticles, which prepared in this work possibly, could be used as an alternative for traditional adjuvants.

A New Approach to Antivenom Preparation Using Chitosan Nanoparticles Containing Echis Carinatus Venom as A Novel Antigen Delivery System

In recent years, use of biodegradable polymers based nanoparticles has received highinterest in the development of vaccines delivery vehicles. The aim of study was to preparechitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) for loading Echis carinatus (EC) venom and evaluate theirpotential as an adjuvant and antigen delivery system on a pilot scale. CS NPs were preparedusing ionic gelation method, and their char...

Partial Purification and Characterization of Anticoagulant Factor from the Snake (Echis carinatus) Venom

  Objective(s): Snake venoms contain complex mixture of proteins with biological activities. Some of these proteins affect blood coagulation and platelet function in different ways. Snake venom toxin may serve as a starting material for drug design to combat several pathophysiological problems such as cardiovascular disorders. In the present study, purification of anticoagulation facto...
