Abstract:In order to reduce the side effects of thyroid hormone substitute levothyroxine sodium pentahydrate, its sorption with a quaternized salt of a new alkyl derivative of chitosan was studied. The drug amount in the salt (gel) is in micrograms, and the gel-levothyroxine is in the form of a complex that can show biological activity. With that end in view, a sorption process of levothyroxine sodium from an aqueous solution to the inside and surface of the hydrogel was carried out under static conditions. The capacit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
