A Biomimetic Chitosan Derivates: Preparation, Characterization and Transdermal Enhancement Studies of N-Arginine Chitosan

A novel arginine-rich chitosan (CS) derivates mimicked cell penetration peptides; N-Arginine chitosan (N-Arg-CS) was prepared by two reaction methods involving activated L-arginine and the amine group on the chitosan. FTIR spectra showed that arginine was chemically coupled with CS. Elemental analys...
