Product Description:

Chitosan has attracted significant attention in pharmaceutical and biomedical research due to its versatile properties and wide range of potential applications. Derived from chitin, chitosan is a natural polymer known for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and functional adaptability. However, one of the main limitations of chitosan is its poor solubility in neutral and basic conditions, which can restrict its direct use in certain formulations. Another important factor is that chitosan is not a single uniform polymer but a group of molecules that differ in composition, molecular weight, and distribution of monomer units. These variations strongly influence its physicochemical, biological, and technological performance.

Advancements in chitosan chemistry have helped address some of these challenges by modifying the polymer structure to improve solubility and enhance its functional properties. Chitosan also demonstrates several useful biological characteristics that support its role in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In addition, it plays an important role in environmentally friendly processes, such as the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and as a support material for biocatalysts. Owing to its film-forming ability, mucoadhesive nature, and compatibility with various drugs, chitosan is widely explored for the development of innovative and efficient drug delivery systems.
