Abstract:The purpose of the present study was to investigate the physicochemical properties in aqueous media of amphiphilic hyaluronic acid (HA) derivatives obtained by reaction of HA's hydroxyl groups with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA). The self-associative properties of the resulting octenyl succinic anhydride-modified hyaluronic acid (OSA-HA) derivatives were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy using Nile Red as fluorophore. The morphology, size and surface charge of the OSA-HA assemblies were determined by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and by measuring their electrophoretic mobility, respectively. OSA-HA was shown to spontaneously self-associate in aqueous media into negatively charged spherical and multiphasic nanostructures with a hydrodynamic diameter between 170 and 230 nm and to solubilize hydrophobic compounds such as Nile Red. This was a good indication that OSA-HA could be used as building block for the formulation of soft nanocarriers towards the encapsulation and controlled delivery of hydrophobic active ingredients or drugs.
