“…Chitosan exerts maximal cell permeation effect in an acidic environment [52]. The pH in the duodenum region of the intestine is 5.8, and this provides an environment particularly suited for chitosan to act as a mucoadhesive, as the pH is close to its pKa value (5.5) [53]. Our results are in agreement with this; chitosan containing nanocarriers demonstrated high iron absorption, an effect that may be attributed to its mucoadhesive properties at the intestinal physiological pH.…”

“…It is important to understand the possible effects of the protective matrix on intestinal barrier function. For example, the food grade polymer chitosan, used in encapsulation matrices, can itself increase tight junction permeability (Sadeghi et al, 2008). Such particles are used in the drug/medical industry to help open tight junctions to allow particles through (targeted drug delivery).…”

“…Only a few experimental in vitro methods have so far been established for prediction of drug absorption capability in vivo. Caco-2 monolayers are generally accepted to be a suitable in vitro model for drug transport studies as these cells have been shown to express most of the enzymatic, functional and morphological characteristics of the intestinal and morphological characteristics of the intestinal mucosa [12,13] . However, Caco-2 monolayers cannot be used to predict the regional differences in the permeability of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract.…”
