Taubner, Tomáš, Milan Marounek, and Andriy Synytsya. "Preparation and characterization of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amidated derivatives of carboxymethyl chitosan and carboxymethyl β-glucan." International journal of biological macromolecules 163 (2020): 1433-1443.

Abstract. These analytic methods confirmed the preparation of the substituted N-alkylamides, hydrazide and hydroxamic acid of carboxymethyl chitosan and carboxymethyl β-glucan.

Cordeiro, A. S., Farsakoglu, Y., Crecente-Campo, J., de la Fuente, M., González, S. F., & Alonso, M. J. (2021). Carboxymethyl-β-glucan/chitosan nanoparticles: new thermostable and efficient carriers for antigen delivery. Drug delivery and translational research, 11(4), 1689-1702.

Abstract. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is caused by an IgE-mediated inflammatory reaction consequent to the exposure to causal allergen. Resveratrol is a natural non-flavonoid polyphenol, exerting anti-inflammatory activity; β-glucan is a polysaccharide with immuno-modulatory properties. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether these combined compounds are able of relieving nasal symptoms in children with AR due to pollen allergy.

Varricchio, A. M., Capasso, M., Della Volpe, A., Malafronte, L., Mansi, N., Varricchio, A., & Ciprandi, G. (2014). Resveratrol plus carboxymethyl-β-glucan in children with recurrent respiratory infections: a preliminary and real-life experience. Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 40(1), 1-6.

Abstract. As resveratrol plus carboxymethyl-β-glucan is presently available as solution for aerosol, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of this compound, compared to saline solution, whether it is able to prevent recurrent respiratory infections  children.

Li, X., Wang, J., Li, S., Liu, Z., Zheng, Z., & Zhang, Y. (2019). Development and evaluation of multifunctional poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles embedded in carboxymethyl β-glucan porous microcapsules as a novel drug delivery system for gefitinib. Pharmaceutics, 11(9), 469.

Abstract. In this study, a new kind of folic acid (FA)-conjugated and chitosan (CS)-coated poloxamer 407 (P407)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), FCPP NPs, were prepared, and further micro-encapsulated by carboxymethyl β-glucan microcapsules (MCs) to produce a multifunctional system of NPs embedded in MCs (NEMs) for potential lung tumor-targeted delivery of gefitinib.
