Original Abstract

In this study, results of the research of electrostatic coating of cationic micelle with hyaluronan are reported. The cationic micelle/hyaluronan complexes were studied using turbidimetry and dynamic light scattering method and were evaluated to determine their structure, average size and zeta potential as a function of the amount of the both component in the system. Pilot solubilization experiments were performed to evaluation of stability and solubilization ability of the complexes. Results of turbidimetry revealed that aggregates formation (turbidity increasing) depends especially on hyaluronan concentration while surfactant concentration (above critical micelle concentration) affects interaction insignificantly. Dynamic light scattering experiments indicate that hyaluronan molecular weight has insignificant effect on isoelectric point of the systems. It was found that solubilization ability of the complexes is influenced by molecular weight of hyaluronan.
