This study investigated the conjugation of chitosan with the insulin-mimetic VO(tpps) in an aqueous medium. The conjugate formation was found to be attributed to the electrostatic interaction between the NH3+ units of chitosan and the SO3- units of VO(tpps). It was also found that chitosan enhances the stability of VO(tpps) in water. The conjugation reaction was best explained by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models.
This study investigated the conjugation of chitosan with the insulin-mimetic [meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinato]oxovanadate(IV)(4-), VO(tpps), in an aqueous medium as a function of conjugation time, VO(tpps) concentrations, and temperatures. To validate the synthesis of chitosan-VO(tpps) conjugate, UV-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometric techniques were utilized. Conjugate formation is ascribed to the electrostatic interaction between the NH3+ units of chitosan and the SO3- units of VO(tpps). Chitosan enhances the stability of VO(tpps) in an aqueous medium (pH 2.5). VO(tpps) conjugation with chitosan was best explained by pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models based on kinetic and isotherm studies. The Langmuir equation determined that the maximal ability of VO(tpps) conjugated with each gram of chitosan was 39.22 mu mol at a solution temperature of 45 degrees C. Activation energy and thermodynamic studies (E-a: 8.78 kJ/mol, Delta G: -24.52 to -27.55 kJ/mol, Delta S: 204.22 J/(mol K), and Delta H: 37.30 kJ/mol) reveal that conjugation is endothermic and physical in nature. The discharge of VO(tpps) from conjugate was analyzed in freshly prepared 0.1 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37 degrees C. The release of VO(tpps) from the conjugate is a two-phase process best explained by the Higuchi model, according to a kinetic analysis of the release data. Taking into consideration all experimental findings, it is proposed that chitosan can be used to formulate both solid and liquid insulin-mimetic chitosan-VO(tpps) conjugates.
