Functional Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan
Inmaculada Aranaz,Marian Mengíbar,Ruth Harris,Ines Panos,Beatriz Miralles,Niuris Acosta,Gemma Galed,Angeles Heras +7 more
TL;DR: A functional characterization of chitin and chitosan regarding some biological properties and some specific applications (drug delivery, tissue engineering, functional food, food preservative, biocatalyst immobilization, wastewater treatment, molecular imprinting and metal nanocomposites) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan Amphiphilic Derivatives. Chemistry and Applications
TL;DR: The aim of the present paper is to review the latest advances in the synthesis of chitosan amphiphilic derivatives with a special emphasis in their applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan nanoparticles and microspheres for the encapsulation of natural antioxidants extracted from Ilex paraguariensis
TL;DR: In this paper, chitosan nanoparticles and microspheres were obtained for the encapsulation of yerba mate, and the effect of the encapsulating systems on the active compound stability and its release properties was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-genipin microspheres for the controlled release of drugs: clarithromycin, tramadol and heparin.
TL;DR: Genipin showed to be eligible as a chemical-crosslinking agent delaying the outflow of drugs from the microspheres and more studies in vitro and in vivo must be carried out to determine adequate crosslinking conditions for different drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano and microparticulate chitosan-based systems for antiviral topical delivery
Laura Calderón,Ruth Harris,Manuel Cordoba-Diaz,M. Elorza,B. Elorza,Joke Lenoir,Els Adriaens,J.P. Remon,Angeles Heras,Damián Cordoba-Diaz +9 more
TL;DR: Results showed that chitosan-based particles induced moderate irritation and mild tissue damage, what supposes that ACV-MP constitute a promising alternative for further development of an antiviral formulation.
