23 Jul Amphipathic chitosan derivative and preparation method and application thereof
Abstract
The invention discloses an amphipathic chitosan derivative PAMAM-Cs-DCA (Poly(amido amine)-chitosan-deoxycholic acid). The PAMAM-Cs-DCA is prepared by sequentially grafting a PAMAM unit and a deoxycholic acid unit on a main chain of chitosan by click chemical reaction and amidation reaction. The preparation method has mild reaction conditions, high efficiency and selectivity. The invention also discloses an application of the amphipathic chitosan derivative in preparing an anticancer drug carrier: the amphipathic chitosan derivative forms nanomicelle which takes the PAMAM unit and chitosan asa hydrophilic shell and takes the DCA unit as a hydrophobic core by self assembly in a water solution, wherein hydrophobic anticancer drugs can be coated in the core, and the shell can be compounded with pDNA (plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid) to realize co-transmission of the drugs and genes. Due to the unique molecular structure, the amphipathic chitosan derivative has potential application valuesin the fields of gene therapy, controlled release of drugs, tissue engineering and the like.
