Biodegradable Chitosan-Based Ambroxol Hydrochloride Microspheres: Effect of Cross-Linking Agents

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of type of cross-linking method used on the properties of ambroxol hydrochloride microspheres such as encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and drug release. Microspheres were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using chitosan as a matrix-forming agent and cross-linked using formaldehyde and heat treatment. Morphological and physicochemical properties of microspheres were then investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffrac… Show more

“…BER pathway plays a key role in repairing DNA damage due to cellular metabolism and consists of multiple enzyme systems , the XRCC1 is one of rate‐limiting members of BER and interacts with other proteins involved in several stages of the BER pathways, including repairing specific base damage caused by oxaliplatin . Patients with XRCC1 Arg399Gln (G → A) G/G genotype showed enhanced respond to oxaliplatin‐based chemotherapy compared to those with G/A + A/A in advanced CRC .…”

“…In this case, a Schiff base reaction between amine and aldehyde occurs and as a result, chitosan chains are covalently cross-linked by the glutaraldehyde molecules. With the same mechanism, other aldehydes such as glyoxal and formaldehyde are able to crosslink chitosan chains [101][102][103]. Glutaraldehyde has been highly used also for alginate reticulation.…”
