Self-assembly and emulsification of dopamine-modified hyaluronan

Pickering emulsions: Preparation processes, key parameters governing their properties and potential for pharmaceutical applications

“…Other polysaccharides-based particlesPolysaccharides other than starch, cellulose and chitin/chitosan were also used as insoluble particles to stabilized O/W Pickering emulsions. For example, Zhu et al[211] used particles of hyaluronan-dopamine as Pickering emulsions stabilizers. Hyaluronan is a well-known polysaccharide involved in many biological processes and widely studied for tissue engineering and drug delivery[238].…”

Self-assembled nanoparticles based on chondroitin sulfate-deoxycholic acid conjugates for docetaxel delivery: Effect of degree of substitution of deoxycholic acid

“…In the past few decades, the research of the block copolymers has been dramatically focused on due to the feasibility of combing blocks which endow self-assembled systems with a large number of functionalities [7,8]. Meanwhile, the hydrophobically modified hydrophilic polymers also attracted a great deal of attention [9,10]. Both of these polymers could self-assemble to compact core-shell structures in an aqueous environment.…”

Hyaluronan derived nanoparticle for simvastatin delivery: evaluation of simvastatin induced myotoxicity in tissue engineered skeletal muscle

“…Such formulations (HA-DA-FTSC or HA-conjugate NPs) have previously been shown to contribute to enhanced cell adhesion, proliferation and viability, demonstrating suitable ability in biological applications. [39][40][41] The degree of chemical modification of fluorescein and dopamine in HA-D-FTSC were 2.4% and 4.1% respectively, as determined by ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy at pH 7.4 within PBS buffer (Fig. 1a).…”
