| Research Abstract |
Our object is application of chitosan derivatives possessed cell attracting effects to drug delivery systems. In this study, we obtained following results :
1)Hydrothermal reaction is useful for decomposition of chitosan and the other acetals. Using this treatment, we can obtain chitosan with low molecular weight easily.
2)New chitosan derivatives with hydrophobic, phenolic and carboxyl groups were synthesized. w by reductive alkylation reaction of chitosan with aldehyds and oxidization of chitosan. The hyrophobized chitosan derivatives is advantageous for self-aggregation effect and emulsion formation. The oxidized chitosan derivatives show a unique biological effect.
3)Chitosan and hydrophobized chitosan derivatives act as a surfactant and stabilize O/W emulsion. In this situation, the organic phase in the emulsion should be encapsulated by the chitosan derivatives. The emulsion was formed by vigorous stirring of a hydrophobic drug in an organic solvent and chitosan in aqueous acetic acid and the chitosan containing the emulsion was solidified by addition of alkaline. Encapsulated drug into chitosan was released by re-dissolution of yielded chitosan containing the organic phase in acidic solution.
4)Biodegradability is key-step for drug releasing in the system. Blend materials with chitosan derivatives and other biodegradable polymers were prepared. The blend materials composed chitosan enhanced chemical properties and kept biodegradability of chitosan.
