This invention belongs to the field of
curcumin-loaded carrier technology, and discloses a modified
chitosan carrier, its preparation and application, and modified
chitosan nanoparticles loaded with
curcumin. Preparation method: Under magnetic stirring in an ice-water bath, a modifier is added dropwise to a
chitosan solution, and the reaction is carried out at
room temperature with stirring to obtain a product liquid. This product liquid is mixed with glacial
acetic acid, dialyzed, and filtered to obtain a clear and transparent solution. When the modifier is an
aqueous solution of trimethylammonium
chloride, the clear and transparent solution is concentrated by rotary
evaporation and freeze-dried to obtain the modified chitosan carrier. When the modifier is an
aqueous solution of
acrylamide, the clear and transparent solution is concentrated by rotary
evaporation and hydrolyzed to obtain a
hydrolysate, which is mixed with glacial
acetic acid, dialyzed, and freeze-dried to obtain the modified chitosan carrier. This invention significantly improves the encapsulation efficiency,
drug loading, and delivery stability of
curcumin in the modified chitosan
nanoparticle carrier prepared by this invention.
