“…Generally, during chitosan trimethylation synthesis, O-methylation at C-6 and C-3 may occur, leading to uncontrolled trimethylation. Moreover, O-methylation leads to chain scission resulting in reduced polymer solubility (Verheul et al, 2008). In this case, treating chitosan first with formic acid and formaldehyde and secondly with methyl iodide, would help to overcome this issue of uncontrolled trimethylation (Patrulea et al, 2015).…”

“…In this study, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-dodecyl chitosan was synthesized with chitosan as the raw material, in consideration that the introduction of N-trimethyl might increase its water-solubility and permeability in neutral pH environment (Chen et al, 2008;Verheul et al, 2008;Yin et al, 2009), and the introduction of dodecyl might improve its emulsifying capacity. Besides, N,N,N-trimethyl-N-dodecyl chitosan might potentiate the steric hindrance effect of chitosan thus effectively protect Tat against degradation in GIT.…”

“…Results obtained where Caco-2 cell monolayers were tested with the propidium iodide nucleic stain for their viability after 4 h of exposure to TMC (40 and 60% quaternized) in concentrations up to 1% w/v, showed that the monolayers excluded the nucleic stain, demonstrating that TMC does not effect the cell viability (Thanou et al, 2001). Various studies have confirmed that TMC is a safe mucoadhesive polymer and absorption enhancer for hydrophilic macromolecules across various mucosal sites (Amidi et al, 2006;Verheul et al, 2008). According to previous studies the cytotoxicity of TMC increases with higher degrees of quaternization and molecular weight (Yin et al, 2009;Amidi et al, 2010).…”
