Abstract
In current research, chitosan was reacted with mono-chloroacetic acid under alkaline condition to prepare carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTs). The degree of substitution (Ds) on prepared CMCTs was found to be 0.68. CMCTs was used as a potential carrier for pH specific delivery of nateglinide after crosslinked using glutaraldehyde in presence of nateglinide. The average molecular weight and degree of deacetylation (DD) of chitosan were found to be 3.5104 Da and 84.6% respectively. High yield (82%) and loading of drug (75%) were found in the developed hydrogel formulations. pH responsive swelling behavior of prepared hydrogels was checked using different pH values (1.2, 6.8 and 7.4). The study indicated very less swelling at pH 1.2 (for first 2 h) and quick swelling at pH 6.8 (for next 3 h) followed by linear swelling at pH 7.4 (for next 7 h) with slight increase. In vitro release profile of hydrogels showed biphasic release pattern dependent on swelling behavior. The release pattern was found to be non-fickian diffusion kinetics at higher pH. FTIR, 1H-NMR, DSC and p-XRD studies were carried out to confirm the formation of CMCTs, drug entrapment and its possible interaction in formulations. These studies revealed that no chemical change was found in nateglinide during preparation of hydrogel formulations. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to study the surface morphology of prepared hydrogels before and after dissolution which revealed pores formation after dissolution.

Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
