Abstract
⺠Synthesis of a novel mucoadhesive thiolated chitosan with protected thiol groups. ⺠The novel conjugate exhibited promising mucoadhesive features. ⺠In vitro cytotoxicity of the new conjugate was evaluated and found to be non-toxic. ⺠Swelling behavior of the polymer decreased with the increase of protection. ⺠Enhanced cross linking within the novel conjugate resulted in improved stability.
