In vitro | The hydrophobic modification of Glycol chitosan has been validated, with derivatives such as Glycol chitosan with a 5β-cholanic acid moiety and deoxycholic acid-Glycol chitosan, capable of self-assembling into nanoparticles, demonstrating potential as carriers for hydrophobic drugs and genes [2]. Glycol chitosan can be covalently bonded with hydrophobic drugs to create amphiphilic compounds that form nanoparticles (NPs) useful in cell imaging and drug delivery. These derivatives are effectively utilized to transport antimicrobial and anticancer agents, employing either physical encapsulation or chemical conjugation methods. Glycol chitosan derivatives are advantageous for cell imaging and drug delivery due to their exceptional tumor-targeting capabilities stemming from the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, minimal cytotoxicity, chemical modifiability, high biocompatibility, and degradability [1]. |
