“…Chitosan, being a weak base, loses its charge with subsequent precipitation in neutral and basic environment thus proving to be ineffective as an absorption enhancer, limiting its use in the alkaline pH of the intestine and colon. A similar phenomenon was demonstrated by Kotze et al (1998a). No significant increase in the transport of 14 C mannitol at pH 7.4 in the presence of chitosan salts (glutamate and hydrochloride ; both degree of deacetylation 83 %) was observed.…”

“…Recent studies have shown that only protonated, soluble chitosan can trigger the opening of tight junctions and thereby facilitate the paracellular transport of hydrophilic mannitol 52 . To improve the poor water solubility of chitosan, some derivatives were synthesized, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG)-chitosan 53 and trimethyl chitosan 54,55 .…”

“…Polymeric delivery systems, including chitosan and its derivatives, have mucoadhesive properties, good water solubility and tight junction modulatory effects. N-trimethyl chitosan chloride (TMC) is a well described and studied cationic polymer that opens tight junctions and improves paracellular diffusion of hydrophilic drug molecules [16,17]. The absorption enhancing effect of TMC can be attributed to interactions of the fixed positively charged quaternary amino groups on the C-2 position of TMC directly and indirectly with the cell membranes [18,19].…”
