Cyclodextrin Mediated Controlled Release of Naproxen from pH-Sensitive Chitosan/Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Hydrogels for Colon Targeted Delivery

TL;DR: It can be proposed that the deleterious effects of naproxen on the epithelium of the gastro-intestinal tract could be minimized by using the cyclodextrin containing hydrogels as drug delivery systems because they provide a controlled release resulting in a reduced concentration of free naproxin.
