Preparation and Characterization of Self-Assembled Nanoparticles of Hyaluronic Acid-Deoxycholic Acid Conjugates
Novel amphiphilic biopolymers were synthesized using hyaluronic acid (HA) as a hydrophilic segment and deoxycholic acid (DOCA) as a hydrophobic segment by a 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide mediated coupling reaction. The structural characteristics of the HA-DOCA conjugates were invest...
