Cellulose and cellulose derivatives-based nanosystems as therapeutic platform

Hydrophobic carboxymethyl cellulose as a clean-up sorbent in the determination of nitrofuran metabolites in animal-fat samples

“…3 Therefore, based on this structure, further modication and chemical functionalisation of cellulose have been successfully achieved to generate materials with desired properties, such as cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, methylcellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose. 4 Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a well-known anionic derivative of the cellulose family that exhibits high solubility in water and a higher molecular weight than cellulose. 5 It can be produced by replacing one of the hydroxyl groups in the AGU with a sodium carboxymethyl group.…”
