ABSTRACT

A simple method was developed to synthesize the N-succinyl-chitosan (NSC) successfully. NSC was characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and element analysis. The NSC can form nanoparticles with TPP through electrostatic interaction. The morphology, particle size and zeta potential of the nanoparticle were investigated and showed a 100 - 200 nm in diameter with a positive potential 9.99 mv. The encapsulation efficiency of NSC-ES-NPs was 94.76 ± 0.05. The in vitro cell culture indicates that NSC has non-toxicity and cell-compatibility. NSC-ES-NPs show antitumor activity against MCF-7 cell. Our results demonstrate that NSC has great potential in the drug controlled release delivery.
