AMPHIPHILIC CHITOSAN DERIVATIVE AND DRUG CARRIER CONTAINING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to an amphiphilic chitosan derivative and an emulsion material comprising the same. The chitosan derivative of the present invention is modified with a carboxymethyl group and a hexanoyl group and thus has amphiphilic properties. The chitosan derivative has excellent emulsifying properties and thus can be used as a material for a drug carrier. The chitosan derivative is represented by chemical formula 1. R_1 is CH_2COOH or H. R_2 is CO(CH_2)_4CH_3, CH_2COOH, COCH_3 or H. M represents an integer of 10-1,000. The drug carrier has a formulation of liposome, a micelle, emulsion, or a nanoparticle.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
