Nasal Drug Delivery
Mykito Chitosan is the purest Non-Animal chitosan in the world. This chitosan does not have the betaglucins, heavy metals and other contaminants that are commonly found in chitosan. The Mykito technology is robust, repeatable and produces consistent results.
Drug Delivery Systems
Chitosan nanoparticles can also effectively encapsulate and deliver drugs in the form of microparticles, nanoparticles, and hydrogels. This can be incorporated into the delivery of common and specialized treatments across various body systems. Chitosan can be customized to provide sustained, controlled, and site-specific release of drugs [Garg,Su]. This is especially useful in delivering drugs nasally due to the mucoadhesive properties and quick turnover of mucus and epithelial cells.
Sustained Nasal Drug Delivery
Chitosan can also be utilized in nasal drug delivery to safely overcome the quick mucociliary clearance. By administering it as a micro- or nano-particle, its mucoadhesive properties can be used to allow a more prolonged drug absorption and action profile. It has been shown to provide an effective and lasting effect on conditions like rhinitis and COVID-19 [Wang,Pyrc].
Animal Drug Delivery
Chitosan-based micro- and nano-carriers can also be applied to animals to assist with safe, effective, and targeted delivery of medication. This can be used in the delivery of enteral and mucosal medications or vaccines to ensure the drugs reach the right location for a stable absorption profile. This relies on its structure for chemical and mechanical protection, mucoadhesive properties to ensure prolonged absorption, and immunological influences to promote effective response [Senel,Drewnowska,Maldonado-Cabrera].
