Chitosan: a potential polymer for colon-specific drug delivery system
Abstract
Introduction There is an enormous growth and awareness of the potential applications of natural polymers for colon delivery of therapeutic bioactives. Chitosan (CH), a cationic polysaccharide, has a number of vital applications in the field of colon delivery and has attracted a great deal of attention from formulation scientists, academicians and environmentalists due to its unique properties. Areas covered CH has been widely explored for the delivery of drugs, peptides, proteins and genes to the colon for different therapeutic applications. Sustained and controlled delivery can be achieved with CH-based formulations like CH-coated tablets, capsules, beads, gels, microparticles and nanoparticles. This review mainly focuses on various aspects of CH-based formulations, particularly development of colon-specific delivery of drug. Expert opinion The vital properties of CH make it a versatile excipient, not only for sustained/controlled release applications but also as biodegradable, biocompatible, bioadhesive polymer. The colon is recognized as the preferred absorption site for orally administered protein and peptide drugs. The main problem associated with CH is limited solubility at higher pH due to reduced cationic nature, which also reduces mucoadhesiveness. The application of newer targeting moiety with CH-based formulations for highly site-specific delivery of bioactive has to be evaluated for further improvement of therapeutic index (bioavailability).

In the citing paper
“In terms of colorectal cancer targeting, chitosan can form complexes with anionic drugs, reduce premature release of entrapped drugs at the upper GIT and release the encapsulant at colon part of body due to its biodegradability via glycosidic linkage lysis by means of the specified enzyme of the colonic microflora.35”

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.
