Glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan microspheres for controlled delivery of Zidovudine

Abstract: Zidovudine-Chitosan microspheres were prepared by a suspension cross-linking method. The chitosan was dissolved in 2% acetic acid solution and this solution was dispersed in the light liquid paraffin. Span-80 was used as an emulsifier and glutaraldehyde as cross-linking agent. The prepared microspheres were slight yellow, free flowing and characterized by drug loading, infrared spectroscopy (IR), differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The in-vitro release studies are pe… Show more

“…The concentration of cross-linking agent was varied from 0.2-0.8% v/v and was treated to erythrocytes loaded with optimized concentration. Glutaraldehyde was used as cross-linking agent, as it makes more chemically and thermostable cross-links with protein than other aldehyde crosslinkers [13].…”

“…Normalmente, essa interação é feita pela inserção de moléculas bifuncionais de baixa massa molar ou íons, que promovem a formação de ligações cruzadas entre as cadeias de macromoléculas [4] . Este tipo de modificação pode ser realizado com agentes físicos, como o cálcio [5] e tripolifosfato [6,7] e agentes químicos, tais como: epicloridrina (EP) [8][9][10] , glutaraldeído (GA) [11][12][13][14][15] , N,N-metilenobisacrilamida [16] , genipina (GP) [17,18] , dentre outros.…”
