Novel amphiphilic chitosan micelles as carriers for hydrophobic anticancer drugs
2020
Abstract Chitosan was grafted with O-methyl-O′-succinylpolyethylene glycol and oleic acid after a two-step carbodiimide coupling. The structural and physicochemical characterization of the compounds confirmed the successful conjugation of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties to the chitosan backbone. The amphiphilic chitosan derivative obtained allowed the formation of polymeric micelles with an average size of 140 nm, a polydispersity index
