In this study, N,N-Dimethyl-N-Octyl chitosan was synthesized. Nanoparticles containing insulin were prepared using PEC method and were statistically optimized using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology. The independent factors were considered to be the insulin concentration, concentration and pH of the polymer solution, while the dependent factors were characterized as the size, zeta po...

objective(s): the purpose of this study is about the preparation and evaluation of nanoparticles composed of thiolated methylated pyridinyl chitosan (tmpc) which are made p.e.c method, for bucal drug delivery of insulin.materials and methods: first of all have to synthesize methylated pyridinyl chitosan and then for (tmpc) l-cysteine should be attached to methylated pyridinyl chitosan by the fo...

Diabetic cases have increased rapidly in recent years throughout the world. Currently, for type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), multiple daily insulin (MDI) injections is the most popular treatment throughout the world. At this juncture, researchers are trying to develop different insulin delivery systems, especially through oral and pulmonary route using nanocarrier based delivery system. This nex...

context: over the last few decades, extensive efforts have been made worldwide to develop nanomedicine delivery systems, especially via oral route for antidiabetic drugs. absorption of insulin is hindered by epithelial cells of gastrointestinal tract, acidic gastric ph and digestive enzymes. evidence acquisition: recent reports have identified and explained the beneficial role of several struct...

the aim of the present work was to prepare and characterize biopolymer nanocarriers and evaluate their suitability in possible oral delivery of insulin. the egg albumin biopolymer was used to prepare nanoparticles which were further characterized by fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (ftir), transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), zeta potential, dynam...

Polymeric delivery systems based on nanoparticles have emerged as a promising approach for peroral insulin delivery. The aim of the present study was to investigate the release of insulin nanoparticulate systems and ex vivo studies. The nanoparticles were prepared by the ion gelation method. Particle size distribution, zeta potential, and polydispersity index of the nanoparticles were determine...

insulin-loaded biodegradable chitosan nanoparticle was prepared by the polyelec-trolyte complex formation method. the prepared nanoparticles were in the size of 110 nm and had high entrapment (91.0%) capacity. the transdermal nanoinsulin was characterized by in vivo hypoglycemic effects. plasma glucose was decreased to the range of 80.34 to 96.74 mg/dl, and insulin levels were increased to the ...

Insulin therapy has been the best choice for the clinical management of diabetes mellitus. The current insulin therapy is via subcutaneous injection, which often fails to mimic the glucose homeostasis that occurs in normal individuals. Oral delivery is the most convenient administration route. However, insulin cannot be well absorbed orally because of its rapid enzymatic degradation in the gast...

Insulin loaded hydrophobic nanoparticles were prepared by solvent diffusion followed by lyophilization. Nanoparticles were characterized for mean size by dynamic laser scattering and for shape by scanning electron microscopy. Insulin encapsulation efficiency, in vitro stability of nanoparticles in presence of proteolytic enzymes and in vitro release were determined by high pressure liquid chrom...
