Abstract
The suitability of chitosan (non-crosslinked and crosslinked by glutaraldehyde) for colonic drug delivery was assessed by incubation of chitosan films in human faecal slurry and assessment of the film’s disappearance with time. It was found that non-crosslinked chitosan, was digested by colonic bacteria, but crosslinked chitosan was not.
