Outcomes of the studies have shown that the extent of hydrogel swelling and drug release was comparatively greater at higher pH (7.4). Moreover, an amplifying trend was observed for drug loading and hydrogel swelling by increasing AA content, while it declined by increasing MBAA. The NCHs were evaluated by various physicochemical techniques and the selected formulation was subjected to in vivo bioavailability studies, confirming enhancement of bioavailability as indicated by prolonged half-life and multifold increase in area under the curve (AUC) as compared to pure TG.Conclusion: The results suggest that NCHs demonstrated a pH-responsive, controlled behavior along with enhanced bioavailability. Thus NCHs can be effectively utilized as efficient delivery systems for oral delivery of TG to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction.Keywords: nanocomposite, thiolated chitosan, biodegradable, bioavailability, free radical polymerizationShahid NErum AZaman MTulain URShoaib QUMajeed ARasool MFImran IAlshehri SNoorani BAlqahtani FDove Medical Pressarticlenanocompositethiolated chitosanbiodegradablebioavailabilityfree radical polymerizationMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 6345-6366 (2021)
