Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCHITOSAN NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN DRUG DELIVERY: A REVIEWSharare Najafi, Zahra Pazhouhnia, Omid Ahmadi et al.Chitosan is one of the most popular materials in the field of drug delivery due to its adhesivity and biodegradability. Different types of Chitosan based drug carriers have been conceived for various administration routes, such as oral, nasal, transdermal, parenteral, vaginal, cervical and rectal due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Chitosan Nanoparticles (NPs) have long been studied as carriers for … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 8 Nov 2014 · 14,775 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePotential Applications of Chitosan Nanoparticles as Novel Support in Enzyme ImmobilizationHoda Jafarizadeh Malmiri, Mohammad Ali Ghaz Jahanian, Aydin BerenjianChitosan is an attractive natural biopolymer from renewable resources with the presence of reactive amino and hydroxyl functional groups in its structure. Due to the good biocompatibility of chitosan, it can be used in magnetic-field assisted drug delivery, enzyme or cell immobilization and many other industrial applications. In the past decade, nanotechnology has been a considerable research interest in the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 25 Dec 2012 · 11,302 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of the Toxic Effects of Chitosan-Coated Magnetite Nanoparticles on Drosophila melanogasterDoris Vela, Jonathan Rondal, Sofía Cárdenas et al.Nanoparticles are a cause for concern because of their potential toxic effects on human health and the environment. The aim of this study was to assess the toxic effect of chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (11.00±4.7 nm) on Drosophila melanogaster through the observation of hemolymph composition, DNA damage, larval survival and lifespan of flies. Chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2020 · 7,882 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Immunity of Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus sp.) Against Viral Nervous Necrosis Using a Recombinant Protein Nanovaccine from Chlorella VulgarisUun Yanuhar, Herly Evanuarini, Heru Suryanto et al.Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus sp.) is an important export commodity in marine aquaculture, yet Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) remains a major threat. Nanovaccines are a type of vaccine developed by combining vaccine ingredients with silver nanoparticles and recombinant protein from Chlorella vulgaris. These formulations are designed to effectively boost the body's immune system response to prevent disease infection and destroy pathogenic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 22 Nov 2025 · 2,154 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Silver/Clay/Chitosan Bionanocomposites by UV-Irradiation MethodMansor Bin Ahmad, Kamyar Shameli, Majid Darroudi et al.Problem statement: Silver/Montmorillonite/Chitosan Bionanocomposites (Ag/MMT/Cts BNCs) have been synthesized by UV-irradiation reduction method in the absence of any reducing agent or heat treatment which is used to antibacterial application and medical devices. Approach: MMT, Chitosan and AgNO3 were used as a solid support, stabilizer and silver precursor, respectively. The properties of Ag/MMT/Cts BNCs were studied as a function of UV-irradiation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,815 accessesView PDF Cite
