Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To prepare resveratrol chitosan nanoparticles with free amine groups on the surface so as to conjugate ligands, which will actively target to special tissues or organs.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The chitosan nanoparticles with free amine on the surface was prepared by sodium chloride precipitation. Nanoparticles with different solidification degrees were studied on turbidity, in vitro release, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading and diameter.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The turbidity of nanoparticles with various solidification degrees decreased at different rates after ultrasonic or water bath heating treatment. All nanoparticles mentioned above obviously shew sustained release. The rate of release was slowed down with the increase of solidification agents. Solidification had no obvious effects on the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading. The diameter of chitosan nanoparticles with 200 microL solidification agents was 487 nm. The polydispersion was 0.144.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The diameter of the prepared nanoparticles was relatively small. The amine on the surface was free, which offered the possibility of designing the acive target drug delivery system.</p>
