Intranasal drug delivery is convenient and provides a high bioavailability but requires the use of mucoadhesive nanocarriers. Chitosan well-established polymer for applications can suffer from poor cytocompatibility stability upon administration. In this work, we present method to obtain stable cytocompatible crosslinked chitosan nanoparticles. We used 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid as biocompatible crosslinker compared obtained particles with those prepared by ionotropic gelation using...
The trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) is a G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) potently activated by variety of molecules besides amines (TAs), including thyroid hormone-derivatives like 3-iodothyronamine (T1AM), catechol-O-methyltransferase products 3-methoxytyramine, and amphetamine-related compounds. Accordingly, TAAR1 considered promising target for medicinal development. To gain more insights into physiological functions validation its therapeutic potential, we recently developed...
