A chitosan-based magnetic system for response surface methodology (RSM) optimization of the influencing variables in ciprofloxacin loading/releasing.

We optimized the loading and release processes of Ciprofloxacin (CIP) on FeO/Chitosan (FCS) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for drug delivery applications. The FeO MNPs were synthesized via the coprecipitation method and subsequently coated with Chitosan to enhance their properties. Ciprofloxacin was used as a model drug.
