Chitosan nanoparticles crosslinked by glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane for pH triggered release of protein
Section snippets
Experimental
To obtain the low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC), 5 g chitosan (Mr = 8 × 105, degree of deacetylation 96%, purchased from Yuhuan Ocean Biochemical Corp., Zhejiang) was dissolved in 150 mL 3% (v/v) acetic acid, then 50 mL 6% hydrogen peroxide solution was added dropwise into the chitosan solution. The mixture was stirred and heated in a water bath of 40 °C. After 12 h, the partially degraded chitosan was precipitated by adding 10 mol/L of NaOH until the pH reach 10.0, followed by washing with deionized
Result and discussion
In the nanoparticles preparing procedure, TPP was used in first step as the ionic crosslinker. It has been reported that the molecular weigh of chitosan nanoparticles could be significantly affected by the molecular weight of chitosan. In this work, Chitosan with molecular weight of 50 KDa could be obtained after 12 h degradation. By adding 0.1% TPP into the solution of 50 KDa LMWC, nano-sized particles with mean diameter of 39.8 nm could be formed. The size of the beads increased to average of 43.9

2017, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :CUR-PNPs were prepared according to an earlier reported method with slight modifications [18]. In the experiment, the pKa value of the carboxyl groups on HA and the amine groups on CSH are approximately 3.2 and 6.3, respectively [22,23]. The two oppositely charged HA and CSH are mostly ionized in the range of pH 4.3–6.7 and thus have a sufficiently high charge density to form stable NPs through the electrostatic interaction between the protonated amino groups of CSH and carboxyl groups of HA.
Manipulation of pH-Sensitive interactions between podophyllotoxin-chitosan for enhanced controlled drug release
2017, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :Chitosan is a naturally occurring material, and has been widely examined as carriers for many anticancer drugs due to its biocompatibility, non-toxic, non-immunogenic and biodegradability [6,7]. Many studies have shown that chitosan nanoparticles as a drug carrier had the ability to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs and protect protein drug from degradation in biological and processing conditions [8,9]. It has also been suggested that the mucoadhesive property of chitosan could also enhance drug transmucosal absorption and promote its sustained release [10,11].

2014, Chinese Chemical LettersCitation Excerpt :It can be used to fabricate particles easily [5]. Several research groups have reported the use of chitosan micro- or nanoparticles for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs [6–8] as well as water-soluble protein [9,10]. However, chitosan has an apparent pKa of 6.5, which means it is only soluble in few dilute acid solutions such as acetic acid and hydrochloric acid, but cannot form micelles in water [11].
