PROTEIN DELIVERY BY NANOPARTICLES FORMED BY CHITOSAN-N-ACYL DERIVATIVES
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2011, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Biodegradable nanoparticulated carriers have important potential applications for administration of therapeutic proteins and peptides. Chitosan based nanoparticles have attracted attention due to their biological properties such as biodegrability and biocompatibility. However, chitosan nanoparticles are not stable in colloid form. Therefore, to increase the stability of these particles is an important problem. The aim of this work was to obtain stable nanoparticles formed by N-acyl derivatives of chitosan by ionic gelation and to investigate their ability to interact with acidic, neutral and basic proteins.

MODIFICATION OF RELEASE RATE OF SALICYLIC ACID FROM CHITOSAN MEMBRANE
Due to continued interest in biodegradable polymers, chitosan is one of the most commonly used polymers in the field of control release of active substances. Currently as carriers of drugs, among tablets, or micro sphere...
ELECTROLYTIC METHOD FOR OBTAINING POROUS CHITOSAN STRUCTURES WITH HYDROXYAPATITE
The aim of this study was to develop a preparation method of porous chitosan structures, in the electrolysis of the chitosan solution in acetic acid. Chitosan in aqueous acetic acid is a polyelectrolyte. During the const...
THE ROLE OF CHITOSAN IN AKT KINASE REGULATION ACTIVITY
A decrease in migration of tumor cells incubated with the investigated chitosan preparations was correlated with a decreased activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 metalloproteinases, what significantly affected inhibition of tumor...
WETTING PROPERTIES OF CHITOSAN-MODIFIED AND PLASMA-TREATED PEEK SURFACES
In this paper, the wettability of chitosan/phospholipid (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine – DPPC), chitosan/lipid (cholesterol – Chol) and chitosan/protein (cyclosporine A – CsA) films on air plasma activated...
MODIFIED DIBUTYRYLCHITIN FILMS AS MATRICES FOR CONTROLLED IBUPROFEN RELEASE
In view of ongoing interest in biodegradable polymers, dibutyrylchitin was used as a matrix for controlled release of a model substance. Transdermal systems (films) are presently more commonly used as an alternative to s...
