Properties
Description
Mannosylated chitosan, known as chitosan-mannose, features surface-immobilized mannose residues on the chitin-derived polymer chain. This engineered glycoconjugate leverages both chitosan's mucosal adhesion and mannose-specific lectin binding capabilities for enhanced cellular targeting in therapeutic applications.
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
