New basal insulin formulation was designed and their structural characteristics were investigated in vitro and biological activities in type 1 diabetic rats. Zinc-crystallized insulin was physically loaded into hydrophobically modified glycol chitosan (HGC) nanoparticles by a dialysis method. The series of insulin-HGC formulations were prepared with different feed weight ratio of insulin to HGC from 0.

In this study, we attempted to develop the injectable formulations which can stabilize TRAIL and thus show prolonged blood circulation in vivo. The positively charged TRAIL was mixed with hyaluronic acid (HA), resulting in the formation of nanocomplexes.
