Preparation, characterization and protein loading of hexanoyl-modified chitosan nanoparticles.

Kashappa Goud Desai et al.

Drug delivery, 13(5), 375-381 (2006-08-01)

Hexanoyl chitosan was synthesized through a coupling reaction between chitosan and hexanoic anhydride. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) and fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies showed the formation of hexanoyl chitosan. The nanoparticles of hexanoyl chitosan were prepared through ionotropic gelation

New green synthesis and formulations of acyclovir prodrugs.

Rubén de Regil-Hernández et al.

Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin, 59(9), 1089-1093 (2011-09-02)

Different green synthesis of alkyl esters of acyclovir (acyclovir prodrugs) is described. Hexanoic, decanoic, dodecanoic and tetradecanoic acyclovir esters were synthesized reacting acyclovir and the respective acid anhydride in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), in solvents from renewable sources and without solvent

Synthesis of chitosan-based polymeric surfactants and their adsorption properties for heavy metals and fatty acids.

Moo-Yeal Lee et al.

International journal of biological macromolecules, 36(3), 152-158 (2005-07-14)

Chitosan-based polymeric surfactants (CBPSs) were prepared by N-acylation of chitosans (chitosan 10 and 500) with several acid anhydrides such as hexanoic (C6), lauric (C12), and palmitic (C16) anhydrides. Among the CBPS samples, CBPSs having a good solubility at pH 4.0
