Chitosan/Xanthan Gum Based Hydrogels as Potential Carrier for an Antiviral Drug: Fabrication, Characterization, and Safety Evaluation

Chitosan/Xanthan Gum Based Hydrogels as Potential Carrier for an Antiviral Drug: Fabrication, Characterization, and Safety Evaluation

This study investigated the use of pure polymer chitosan (CS), xanthan gum (XG), monomer 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) and initiator potassium persulfate (KPS) as drug carrier system crosslinked through N′ N′-methylene bis-acrylamide (MBA) for controlled drug delivery of acyclovi...
