Carbohydrate-based Nanoparticle Production Service

Carbohydrate-based Nanoparticle Production Service

Overview of Carbohydrate-based Nanoparticles

1. Surface modification of the nanocarriers by certain sugars, e.g. mannose, can enhance the receptor-mediated uptake of the nanocarrier. 2. Surface modification of the nanocarriers with other saccharides, e.g. dextrin (polysaccharide of glucose), can decrease the unspecific uptake of the nanocarriers by cells. 3. Nanocarriers fully based on saccharides can be degraded by cells, which will result in the release of the payload. (Kang, et al., 2015)

At CD BioGlyco, our carbohydrate-based nanoparticles at GlycoNano™ Platform are nano-sized materials derived from carbohydrates, valued for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and capacity to interact with biological systems via non-covalent interactions. These nanoparticles are extensively applied in drug delivery, tissue engineering, imaging, and immunotherapy due to their ability to encapsulate hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules, provide controlled release, and enhance stability.

Carbohydrate-based nanoparticles can be produced using techniques such as chemical synthesis, enzymatic modification, and self-assembly driven by hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions. These methods enable the creation of monosaccharide-based and polysaccharide-modified nanoparticles with tailored properties for biomedical applications.

Mono- and disaccharides are chemically modified to form amphiphilic structures like micelles and vesicles.

Enzymes produce well-defined carbohydrate structures with high regioselectivity.

Such as hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions drive the formation of carbohydrate-based nanoparticles.

Naturally derived polysaccharides are processed and modified chemically or physically for nanoparticle formation.

Cyclodextrin-based nanofibers are created via electrospinning for drug encapsulation and delivery.

Based on the Glyconanoparticle Development Service, our carbohydrate-based nanoparticle production service offers tailored solutions for creating advanced carbohydrate-derived nanoparticles. This service includes the monosaccharide-based nanoparticle production service, focusing on the precise synthesis and assembly of nanoparticles from simple sugars, and the polysaccharides-modified nanoparticle production service, which utilizes natural or modified polysaccharides to produce functional nanoparticles with enhanced stability and application-specific properties.

CD BioGlyco offers various analytical services essential for characterizing carbohydrate-based nanoparticles, ensuring their quality and functionality through precise and reliable methods.

Glyconanoparticle development encompasses diverse techniques, including hydrogen bonding, coulombic interactions, hydrophobic effects, CuAAC, amide coupling, nucleophilic substitution, and photocoupling, enabling tailored solutions for advanced biomedical applications.

Results: The study explores carbohydrate-based nanocarriers' potential in biomedical applications, focusing on functionalization and construction. Key findings include the ability of carbohydrates to improve biocompatibility, stability, biodegradability, and targeting efficiency in drug delivery systems. Surface modification with specific saccharides enhances receptor-mediated uptake, reduces nonspecific cellular interactions, and enables payload release through enzymatic degradation. These properties make carbohydrate-functionalized nanocarriers effective for targeted drug delivery, imaging, and therapeutic applications.
