This invention discloses a temperature-controlled sustained-release
amino acid chitosan drug carrier, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of biomedical materials technology. The preparation method includes the following steps: dissolving
chitosan in a first
organic acid solution to obtain a
chitosan solution; adding butanetetracarboxylic acid and
sodium hypophosphite to the chitosan solution, adjusting the solution to a set pH value, and reacting to obtain a reaction solution; precipitating the reaction solution with
ethanol, then filtering, washing with deionized water until neutral, and
vacuum drying to obtain modified chitosan; dispersing the modified chitosan in deionized water, adding amino acids, adjusting the pH to acidic, adding a crosslinking agent, and stirring the reaction at
room temperature to obtain a crosslinking reaction solution; sequentially dialyzing and freeze-
drying the crosslinking reaction solution to obtain a complex; mixing the complex with water to prepare an
aqueous solution, pouring it into a
polytetrafluoroethylene mold for
room temperature drying to form a nascent film; immersing the nascent film in a second
organic acid solution, then sequentially rinsing with deionized water overnight, and air-
drying at
room temperature to obtain the temperature-controlled sustained-release
amino acid chitosan
drug carrier. This is used to solve technical problems such as poor mechanical properties of chitosan and uncontrollable load release mechanism.
