Thiolated Chitosans: Novel Polymers for Mucoadhesive Drug Delivery – A Review

Abstract: Chitosan is a natural polycationic copolymer consisting of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine units. The polymer has valuable properties as a biomaterial because it is

“…The enhancement of mucoadhesion can be explained by the formation of covalent bonds between the polymer and the mucus layer which are stronger than non-covalent bonds. This theory was supported by the results of assessment of Mucoadhesive strength demonstrated a positive correlation between the degree of modification with thiol bearing moieties and the adhesive properties of the polymer (Sreenivas and Pai, 2008;Deshmane et al, 2009). For the measurement of the Mucoadhesive strength, the pure polymer was taken and the disc of 150 mg was prepared by using 8 mm die on the rotary compression machine.…”

“…Due to bulkier aromatic group it provided hindrance to the thiol group to immobilize on primary amino group of chitosan. The resultant thiolated polymer derivatives have shown good swelling property and enhanced mucoadhesive strength due to the intermolecular disulphide linkage between the polymer and mucosa (Sreenivas and Pai, 2008;Deshmane et al, 2009) (Fig. 4).…”

“…The CS-TGA conjugate exhibited 236 ± 26 µmol thiol groups per gram of polymer. A degree of modification of 25-250 mmol thiol groups per gram of chitosan leads to the highest improvement in the mucoadhesive and permeation enhancing properties of these thiolated chitosans (Sreenivas and Pai, 2009). …”
