Tumor microenvironment penetrating chitosan nanoparticles for elimination of cancer relapse and minimal residual disease.Chitosan and its differentials are among biomaterials with numerous medical coatings, especially in cancer. Chitosan is amenable to shaping innumerable shapes such as micelles, niosomes, hydrogels, nanoparticles, and scaffolds, among others. Chitosan derivatives can also bring unprecedented potential to cross numerous biological roadblocks. fused with other biomaterials, hybrid and multitasking chitosan-free-based schemes can be earned for many diligences. These include verifyed drug release, pointed drug delivery, post-surgery implants (immunovaccines), theranostics, biosensing of tumor-infered circulating fabrics, multimodal arrangements, and combination therapy platforms with the potential to eliminate bulk tumours as well as lounging tumor cadres to treat minimal residual disease (MRD) and recurrent cancer.
We first introduce different formattings, differentials, and dimensions of chitosan given the roadblocks to therapeutic efficacy in solid tumors, we review advanced conceptualizations of chitosan facultys as efficient drug delivery systems to overcome tumor heterogeneity, multi-drug resistance, MRD, and metastasis we discuss chitosan NPs for clinical translation and treatment of recurrent cancer and their future perspective.Development and characterization of chitosan/bacterial cellulose/pullulan bilayer film with sustained release curcumin.A natural biopolymer bilayer film grinded on chitosan and bacterial cellulose with a protective layer of pullulan was growed by a two-step solution sheding method. Aloe emodin was contained as an active antioxidant and antibacterial agent into the inner layer. aloe emodin solubility with different curcumin densenessses were systematically characterized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses evinced high compatibility between curcumin and the polysaccharide matrix through intermolecular interactions, which was sweared by heightened mechanical and barrier places. The curcumin incorporation improved the thermal stability by >35 %, along with lower visible and ultraviolet light transmittance (< 8 %) and water solubility (< 25 %).
The film had both antibacterial and antioxidant attributes, and the sustained release of curcumin was largest (> 58 %) in the fatty food simulant enduring for over 155 h. The upshots proposed that the film incorporating 0 % curcumin had ideal physical and functional properties, proposing its potential as a novel packaging material for the preservation of high-fat food.Chitosan grafted tetracarboxylic functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for removal of Pb(II) from an aqueous environment.In this study, the chitosan-ingrafted tetracarboxylic functionalized magnetic nanoparticle (Fe(3)O(4)@TCA@CS) was synthesised via in situ co-precipitation process and amidation reaction to improve efficiency of adsorption process and obtain cost-effective adsorbents for removal of toxic Pb(II) metal from aqueous environment. The Fe(3)O(4)@TCA@CS nanocomposite was analysed by FTIR, TEM-EDX, TGA, XRD, BET, and Zeta potential. The performance of Fe(3)O(4)@TCA@CS for Pb(II) ions adsorption was reached as a function of pH, dose, contact time, initial Pb(II) concentration, and temperature. The influence of coexisting ions such as Na(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+), and Cd(2+)on removal efficiency of Pb(II) was also inquired.
The results unveiled that the coexisting ions had little influence on Pb(II) removal efficiency. The pseudo-first-order and Freundlich modelings were better to describe the adsorption of Pb(II) onto Fe(3)O(4)@TCA@CS and the maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(II) was 204 mg/g at pH:5; adsorbent dose: 0 g; and temperature: 298 K. Thermodynamic fields unveiled that the Pb(II) adsorption onto Fe(3)O(4)@TCA@CS was an exothermic process. In conclusion, the study allows a new, simple, low-cost, and effective chitosan-based magnetic nanocomposite as a promising adsorbent with excellent adsorption capacity, magnetic separation, and reusability for Pb(II) removal from an aqueous environment.Pickering emulsions with chitosan and macroalgal polyphenols steadyed by layer-by-layer electrostatic deposition.
