Eco-Friendly Extraction and Chitosan Aerogel Delivery Enhance Antibacterial Potential of Carya Cathayensis Husk Triterpenoids

Nanochitin and Nanochitosan in Pharmaceutical Applications: Innovations, Applications, and Future Perspective - Pharma Excipients

Abstract Nanochitin is a nanoscale form of chitin—a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and some fungal cell walls—that is newly garnering significant attention in the pharmaceutical space. Its good properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and an easily adjustable surface, render it attractive for various medical and pharmaceutical applications. Nanochitin, from drug delivery systems and wound-care fo…

Eco-Friendly Extraction and Chitosan Aerogel Delivery Enhance Antibacterial Potential of Carya Cathayensis Husk Triterpenoids

A research team has developed a sustainable method to extract antibacterial triterpenoids from the discarded husks of Carya cathayensis (Chinese hickory) using surfactant-assisted ultrasound techniques.
