Synthesis and characterization of thiolated hexanoyl glycol chitosan as a mucoadhesive thermogelling polymer

Abstract Background Mucoadhesive polymers, which may increase the contact time between the polymer and the tissue, have been widely investigated for pharmaceutical formulations. In this study, we developed a new polysaccharide-based mucoadhesive polymer with thermogelling properties. Methods Hexanoy...
