Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this research was to develop pH-sensitive insulin-loaded NOCC (N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan) nanoparticles for the controlled release of insulin via the oral route. Thus, in this study, insulin-loaded NOCC nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation of NOCC with TPP (tripolyphosphate). NOCC nanoparticles were formed at conditions of 2 mg/ml of NOCC and 1 mg/ml of TPP. It was found that the encapsulation efficiency and process yield decreased with increasing NOCC to TPP weight ratio. Furthermore, the cumulative release of insulin from insulin-loaded NOCC nanoparticles decreased with decreasing NOCC-to-TPP weight ratio, but it increased with decreasing the initial concentration of insulin. The higher the pH of the phosphate buffered saline, the greater the amount of cumulative release of insulin-loaded NOCC nanoparticles, and thus they could protect insulin from acid.
