Abstract

Progress in the nanotechnology field has led to the discovery of various drug delivery systems for biomedical applications in the last few decades. Materials and methods: Micro/nanoparticles (MPs) based on chitosan (CS) and gelatin (GEL), designed as a drug delivery system for biomedical applications, were prepared using a double cross-linking process within an emulsion-phase separation system. Results: The obtained MPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which revealed diameters ranging from 0.467 to 4.596 µm. The swelling properties of the MPs were investigated in a neutral environment with a pH of 5.5. Conclusions: The applicability of the prepared materials was further evaluated for drug loading and in vitro delivery of Dexketoprofen trometamol (DEX), demonstrating excellent capacity, which recommends them for effective wound care, including postoperative wounds.
