N-palmitoyl chitosan is biofunctionalized with biotin, via carbodiimide chemistry.
10">Biotinylated N-palmitoyl chitosan is able to self-assemble as nanocarriers.
15">Chemotherapeutic agents are entrapped simultaneously with nanocarrier generation.
Nanoparticles exhibit a pH-dependent release profile, biodegradability and hemocompatibility.
