Chitosan-based polyelectrolyte complexes for drug delivery
Among different polymers, chitosan, the N-deacetylated product of the polysaccharide chitin, is gaining increasing importance in medical and pharmaceutical applications due to its good mucoadhesion and absorption enhancing ability. Moreover, chitosan shows the ability to form hydrogels able to control the rate of drug release from the delivery system as well as protect the drug from chemical an...
متن کاملA novel pulsed drug-delivery system: polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer coating of chitosan–alginate microgels
PURPOSE The aim of this report was to introduce a novel "core-membrane" microgel drug-delivery device for spontaneously pulsed release without any external trigger. METHODS The microgel core was prepared with alginate and chitosan. The semipermeable membrane outside the microgel was made of polyelectrolytes including polycation poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and sodium polystyrene sulfonate. ...
متن کاملChitosan coated alginate beads containing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for dual-stimuli-responsive drug release.
Chitosan coated alginate beads containing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAM), were prepared to be used as a controlled pH/temperature sensitive drug delivery system with improved encapsulation efficiency and delayed release rate. The studied beads were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Water uptake a...
متن کاملElectrically Triggered Release of a Small Molecule Drug from a Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Coating.
Electrically triggered drug delivery represents an attractive option for actively and remotely controlling the release of a therapeutic from an implantable device (e.g., a "pharmacy-on-a-chip"). Here we report the fabrication of nanoscale thin films that can release precise quantities of a small molecule drug in response to application of a small, anodic electric potential of at least +0.5 V ve...
متن کاملBiodegradation and drug release of chitosan gel beads in subcutaneous air pouches of mice.
Chitosan (CS) gel beads were prepared in 10% amino acid solution (pH 9) and implanted into air pouches (AP) prepared subcutaneously on the dorsal surface of mice. No inflammatory response was observed, and degradation of the beads in the AP increased as their degree of deacetylation decreased. Degradation could be altered by changing the nature of the CS or by increasing the CS concentration. T...
