OM-loaded Suc-Chi nanoparticles were prepared by an ionotropic gelation process and OM was quantified via the HPLC method： The influences of the initial OM concentration on the nanoparticle characteristics and OM release behavior were evaluated. The nanoparticles were found to have a mean diameter within a range of 267-392 nm, a positive surface charge, and a zeta potential in the range of 19-27 inV. The formulation with an initial OM concentration of 100μg/mL provided the highest loaded capacity（0. 77% ） and the highest extent of the released OM （68% at 24 h）, suggesting the possibility to achieve a therapeutic dose. According to the data obtained, this Suc-Chi-based nanotechnology will open up new and interesting prospects for the development of new anticancer drugs.展开更多

The structure of the low molecular weight N-succinyl-chitosan was characterized by infrared spectroscopy(IR), by which —COCH_ 2CH_ 2COOH was proved to be introduced to the —NH_ 2 of the low molecular weight chitosan. The moisture adsorption and moisture retention capacities of the low molecular weight chitosan derivatives with different degrees of substitution were investigated. The results indicate that the moisture adsorption and moisture retention capacities of the low molecular weight N-succinyl-chitosan increase with the increase of the degree of substitution. When the degree of substitution is greater than 38%, the derivatives have better moisture adsorption and moisture retention capacities than hyaluronic acid.展开更多
