ABSTRACT:
A delivery system for biologically active materials consisting of polysaccharide or polypeptide microspheres which bind to glycosaminoglycan receptors on cell surfaces. The delivery system can be used to localize drugs by both biochemical and physical means. In one embodiment, microspheres prepared from the polysaccharide chitosan are bound to anionic polysaccharides similar to the glycosaminoglycan receptors found on the surface of capillary endothelial cells. The microspheres were formulated to have a controlled cationic character, and had a mean diameter of 0.70 u and a magnetite content of 16% w/w. Binding to a model polysaccharide, heparin, was demonstrated in vitro. Binding to cultured cerebral capillary endothelial cells was also demonstrated.
