Abstract

Nanoparticles intended for use in the transmucosal delivery of macromolecules were prepared by the ionic gelation of chitosan (CS) hydrochloride with pentasodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and concomitant complexation with sodium alginate (ALG). The incorporation of a small proportion of ALG of increasing molecular weight (M(w); from 4 to 74 kDa) into the nanoparticles led to a monotonic increase in colloidal size from ∼260 to ∼525 nm. This increase in size was regarded as a consequence of the formation of gradually more expanded structures. Insulin, taken as a model peptide, was associated to CS-TPP-ALG nanoparticles with efficiencies in the range of ∼41 to ∼52%, irrespective of the M(w) of the ALG incorporated in the formulation. These CS-TPP-ALG nanoparticles exhibited a capacity to enhance the systemic absorption of insulin after nasal administration to conscious rabbits. Interestingly, it was observed that the duration of the hypoglycaemic response was affected by the ALG's M(w). Briefly, this work describes a new nanoparticulate composition of potential value for increasing nasal insulin absorption.

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.
