Recent advances in dextran-based drug delivery systems: From fabrication strategies to applications

Hu, Qiaobin, Lu, Yingjian, Luo, Yangchao·2021·Carbohydrate Polymers

Abstract

As a natural polysaccharide, dextran and its derivatives have gained great attention in the development of delivery systems for pharmaceutical and medical applications. In recent years, numerous dextran-based delivery systems with tailor properties and geometries have been developed, including self-assembled micelles and nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, magnetic nanoparticles, microparticles, and hydrogels. The first part of this review discusses the physicochemical properties of dextran and its various derivatives via chemical modifications, as pertinent to the preparation of delivery systems. Then, the state-of-the-art fabrication strategies of dextran-based delivery systems and their colloidal properties, i.e. particle diameter, surface charge, morphology, as well as release profiles, are highlighted. Lastly, applications of dextran-based drug delivery systems in biomedicine are explicitly summarized with detailed elaborations on their biological efficacy and mechanism of action, including cancer treatment, magnetic resonance imaging, insulin oral delivery, spinal cord injury therapy, and bacterial skin infection treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
