Abstract: Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1→4)-linked D-glucosamine (DE acetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). It is made by treating the chitin shells of shrimp and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance, like sodium hydroxide. Chitosan has a number of commercial and possible biomedical uses. Chitosan’s properties also allow it to be used in transdermal drug delivery. Delivering therapeutic compound to the desirable site is a major problem in treatment of many diseases The combination of nanoparticles with chitosan in the form of Nano composite matrices provide the high surface area required to achieve a high loading of enzymes, drugs, and a compatible micro-environment to facilitate stability. Chitosan Nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared using ionic gelation method.5’ Fluorouracil (5’FU) loaded chitosan nanoparticle (5FCN) was synthesized and tested for its anticancer activity against various cell lines (MCF7,A549,AGS, and HT29).
