Chitosan-Amine Oxide : A New Gelling System, Characterization And In Vitro Evaluations

Author(s): M. N. V Ravi Kumar, P. K Dutta, S Nakamura

Homogeneous chitosan gel In amine oxide was prepared, which was almost transparent but slightly brownish. The resulting gel was expected to release the drugs at a sustained rate and the drug-release experiments were carried out using ampicillin trihydrate as a model drug. Chitosan-amine oxide gel is a novel approach for sustained dosages.
