본 발명은 세포내로 유전자 DNA 및 생물학적 활성 약물을 전달할 수 있는 지방 유제 및 그것의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. 또한 본 발명은 지방 유제를 사용하여 세포내로 DNA와 같은 생물학적 활성 약물을 효과적으로 전달하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 본 발명의 지방 유제는 세포내로 유전자를 효과적으로 전달할 수 있고, 특히 혈청 중에서 높은 안정성 및 유전자 전달 효율을 나타냄으로써 임상에서 유전자 치료에 적합한 약물 전달 체계가 될 수 있다.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Provided are multi-porous chitosan bead whose pores are big and relatively constant in size and a preparation method thereof. The bead is used as a matrix for cell cultivation and for the study of alternative metabolic organ, bone and cartilage and protein, antibiotics, anti-cancer medicine, polysaccharide, biological active material, animal hormone, and plant hormone. CONSTITUTION: A multi-porous chitosan bead has a pore being 5-20 micrometer in a size at its inside and outside. It is prepared by the following steps of: (a) preparing chitosan solution by dissolving chitosan in acetic acid aqueous solution, water-soluble chitosan solution by dissolving water-soluble chitosan in deionized solution or mixed solution thereof; (b) making it in bead form by adding organic solvent of low temperature or liquid nitrogen; and (c) freeze-drying the resultant bead.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to macroporous chitosan beads having 5-200 mum in size of relatively large and uniform pores that are distributed from surface to core region, and a preparation method thereof compring the following steps; by dropping chitosan solution, aqueous chitosan solution or their mixture into the low-temperature of organic solvent or liquid nitrogen; and by regulating pore size by phase separation method via temperature difference. The macroporous chitosan beads of the present invention make cell culture more efficient than the previous substrate, since cell can attach to them efficiently due to their large surface area, it is easy for cell to be injected into them and cell attached to them can exist longer due to their three-dimensional structure, therefore they can be used for a study about production of protein, abtibiotics, anticancer agent, polysaccharide, physiologically active agent, animal hormone, or plant hormone as well as a study about substitution of metabolic organs, cartilage or bone.
