Abstract

In this study, chitosan was alkylated by o-nitrobenzyl to obtain liver-targeting and ultrasound-responsive functional materials. The Curcumin-loaded Chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ion-crosslinking method. The encapsulation efficiency of the nanoparticles was about 89%, and the particle size of Curcumin-loaded Chitosan nanoparticles was about 520 nm. The in vitro drug release of curcumin from Curcumin-loaded Chitosan nanoparticles under ultrasound-free condition was very slow within 0–48 h, while the release of curcumin was very quick when the Curcumin-loaded Chitosan nanoparticles were stimulated by the ultrasound within 1–45 h. The ultrasound stimulation could cause a significant effect in promoting drug release from nanocarriers, indicating the broad application prospects of the on-demand released drug delivery systems.
