STUDIES ON ADSORPTION CHLORAMFENICOL ON CHITOSANS IN PHARMACEUTICAL “IN VITRO” MODEL
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
In clinical practice in the treatment of obesity, uses several natural macromolecular compounds, whose functioning is based on supporting the weight loss. In use of dietary supplements containing chitosan, sometimes reaches the illness and in the treatment, which the other therapeutic agents are chemotherapeutic drugs. The aim of our study was to determine the binding capacity of chloramphenicol chemotherapeutic depending on variable factors physico-chemical properties, present in the intestinal tract model of chitosans present in the drugs. The phenomenon of adsorption of chloramphenicol was examined by a dynamic model simulating the conditions of the pharmaceutical in vitro, the amount of adsorbed chemotherapy. The obtained results show that chloramphenicol is adsorbed by chitosans at pH ranges used, and the binding capacity depends on the pH of the environment and the viscosity and concentration of the chemotherapeutic agent as well as the type of chitosan and the additional substances present in the gastrointestinal tract. The average size of the adsorption system chemotherapeutic chitosan-nutrients depending on the pH of the medium ranged from 22.3 to 100.0%. Maximum number of adsorption points above pH 7 (chitosan precipitated polymer forming the emulsion-gel system)

PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF CHITIN FROM CHITIN-PROTEIN COMPLEX OF VARIOUS STAGES OF MOLTING CYCLE OF KAMTCHATSKY CRAB (PARALITHODES CAMTCHATICUS) SHELL
The behavior of the chitin separated from the chitin-protein complex is more unique. The dependences of temperatures of its physical transitions on the stage of molting cycle are more clear and of an extremal character....
PREPARATION OF GOLD NANOPARTICLES STABILIZED BY CHITOSAN USING IRRADIATION AND SONICATION METHODS
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized, in the absence of any reducing agent, using ionizing radiation or ultrasound in aqueous solutions of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Chitosan (average molecular weight 158 kDa, deg...
ADSORPTION OF CADMIUM IONS ON CHITOSAN MEMBRANES: KINETICS AND EQUILIBRIUM STUDIES
The presence of toxic heavy metals in industrial wastewater is a serious pollution problem. The ability of chitosan membranes as an adsorbent for cadmium ions in aqueous solution was studied. Experiments were carried out...
INVESTIGATION OF FENOFIBRATE SOLUBILITY IN THE PRESENCE OF CHITOSAN
Fenofibrate is an active substance which is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but it is characterized by limited solubility. Due to a wide spectrum of its pharmacological activity, it would be beneficial to...
THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSTRATE COMPOSITION ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGELS WITH CHITOSAN
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Carbopol 934 P and PVP K 90 on the rheological properties of chitosan gels. Hydrogels were prepared with hydrocortisone containing chitosan, Carbopl 934P, PVP, propylene...
