The aim of the present study is to obtain, for the first time, polymeric nanocarriers based on the chitosan grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate derivative. The strategy involves the use of chitosan grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate with high solubility in water, obtained via Michael addition, in order to prepare potentially non-toxic micro/nanoparticles (MNPs). By modifying chitosan, its solubility in aqueous media was improved. Micro/nanoparticles-based chitosan grafted-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate were obtained under mild condition, with good and controlled swelling properties in acetate buffer solution (ABS) and phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The technique selected for the preparation of the MNPs was a double crosslinking (ionic and covalent) process in reverse emulsion which provide the mechanical stability of the polymeric nanocarrier. The chitosan derivative and MNPs were thoroughly characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The Scanning Electron Microscopy photographs revealed that prepared MNPs have different diameters depending on the used stirring rate and polymer concentration. Nanoparticles potential as drug delivery system was analyzed by loading bevacizumab (BEV) a full-length monoclonal antibody. Also, the prepared particles were found suitable from the cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility point of view enabling their potential use as delivery system for the treatment of posterior segment of the eye conditions.

Hydrogels constructed by traditional polymer networks usually have poor mechanical properties limiting their applications. Here, we proposed a new strategy for ionic interaction modulation of crystalline micro-nanoparticles (CMNPs) to enhance the mechanical properties of polyacrylamide hydrogels. CMNPs were formed via confinement assembly under an aggregated state based on host-guest interactions between chitosan-grafted polyethylene glycol (CS-PEG) and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD).

It is becoming increasingly important to synthesize efficient biomacromolecule lubricants suitable for medical devices. Even though the development of biomimetic lubricants has made great progress, the current system suitable for hydrophobic silicone-based medical devices is highly limited. In this work, we synthesize one kind of novel polysaccharide-derived macromolecule lubricant of chitosan (CS) grafted polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains and catechol groups (CT) (CS-g-PEG-g-CT).

Nowadays, environment-friendly and sustainable polymers have aroused great research attention, due to serious pollution caused by nondegradable and nonrenewable polymer waste. In this paper, chitosan (CS) grafted polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (mPEG) (CS-g-mPEG) fiber, with solid-solid phase change (SSPC) behavior and improved mechanical performance, were prepared successfully by in-situ wet spinning process. The tensile strength of CS-g-mPEG fiber reached 1.

Efficient oral administration of anticancer agents requires a nanocarrier to long survive in the stomach, effectively penetrate across the small intestine, tightly retain the drug during bloodstream and quickly release drug in tumor cells. Herein a kind of dual pH-sensitive polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles (CNPs) was developed by employing electrostatic interaction between positively charged chitosan (CS) and negative poly (L-glutamic acid) grafted polyethylene glycol-doxorubicin conjugate nanoparticles (PG-g-PEG-hyd-DOX NPs) with acid-labile hydrazone linkages. The obtained NPs and CNPs were characterized for their morphology, particle size, ζ-potential, pH-sensitivity under the simulated physiological conditions, drug release, as well as in vivo antitumor activity and biodistribution.

Background: At present there is no standard of care for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) because of the difficulty in delivering therapeutically effective doses of drugs to the intracellular site of the target PCNSL. Here we report the use of an iron oxide nanoparticle to promote the internalization of a PCNSL targeting antibody by target cells.
Methods: Iron oxide nanoparticles coated with a copolymer of chitosan-grafted polyethylene glycol (NPs) were conjugated with an anti-CD20 single-chain variable fragment-streptavidin fusion protein (FP), and optically activated with Oregon Green 488.
