Carboxymethyl functionalization of amylopectin and its evaluation as a nanometric drug carrier

Add time:07/26/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

Carboxymethylation of amylopectin was accomplished by reacting it with monochloroacetic acid. The results of characterization study confirmed the carboxymethyl functionalization with degree of substitution of 1.25. Carboxymethyl amylopectin was found to be slightly more crystalline, appearing morphologically as polyhedral flakes with striated surface. Further, carboxymethylation of amylopectin modified its compression characteristic from fragmentary to plastic. Interaction of carboxymethyl amylopectin (0.001–0.005%, w/v) with chitosan (0.05–0.075% w/v) using ibuprofen (0.05%, w/v) as a model drug provided polyelectrolyte nanoparticles of size 182.7–353.3 nm and 75–92% drug entrapment. The polyelectrolyte nanoparticles showed a sustained release of drug following zero-order kinetics with mechanism of release being combination of matrix erosion and diffusion through the matrix.
