Novel cationic cellulose beads for oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs

Cellulose beads emerge as carriers for poorly water-soluble drugs due to their eco-friendly raw materials and favorable porous structure. However, drug dissolution may be limited by their poor swelling ability and the...

Biopolymer Beads for Biomedical Applications

Polysaccharides are the class of biopolymers synthesized enzymatically, utilizing monosaccharide units as building blocks. The interesting properties of the polysaccharides such as biocompatibility, chemical functionalization, and processibility in the form of beads...

Porous soluble dialdehyde cellulose beads: A new carrier for the formulation of poorly water-soluble drugs

Cellulose beads are porous spherical particles with promising futures for drug delivery applications. In this study, novel dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) beads are developed by periodate oxidation of pristine cellulose for oral delivery of weakly...

TEMPO-oxidized cellulose beads as potential pH-responsive carriers for site-specific drug delivery in the gastrointestinal tract

The development of controlled drug delivery systems based on bio-renewable materials is an emerging strategy. In this work, a controlled drug delivery system based on mesoporous oxidized cellulose beads (OCBs) was successfully...
