HIGHLY BIOCOMPATIBLE DUAL THERMOGELLING CHITOSAN/GLUCOSAMINE SALT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a chitosan solution neutralized with amino-sugar carbonate buffering solution or amino-sugar phosphate buffering solution or phosphorylated aminosugar buffering solution. The resulting thermogelling chitosan composition is highly biocompatible, isotonic and has the ability to rapidly turn into gel upon heating to the body temperature. It provides a novel chitosan-based composition to suitable for drug delivery, cell delivery and repair or regeneration of tissues and organs as well as other clinical treatment.
