Cholesterol hydrophobic-modified chitosan (CS-Chol) were synthesized by coupling cholesterol to the amino groups of chitosan with EDC as catalyzer.The structure of CS-Chol was characterized by FTIR and
1
H NMR. CS-Chol formed self-aggregates in water
and the self-aggregate behavior were studied by fluorescence probe technique
the results suggested that the self-aggregates had low critical aggregate concentration about 10
-2
mg/mL
which was critical to the stability in vivo.The measurements of transmission electron microscope(TEM) and dynamic light scattering(DLS) indicated that the self-aggregates were nanoparticles
and the diameters increased from 180 to 380nm with the decrease of substitute degree from 4.7 to 1.1. The nanoparticles were radio-labeled with
99m
Tc
and their distribution in cephalosome and abdominal cavity was analysized by SPECT.CS-Chol nanoparticles were eliminated from blood and abdominal cavity quickly.Some nanoparticles
however
retained in the mucous membrane rich area after otic vein injection
due to the feature adhesion of chitosan to the mucous membrane.
