Biological properties of chitosan derivatives associated with the ceftazidime drug.

L. A. Pereira, +5 more
- 15 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: The biocompatibility of the derivatives was confirmed by the low hemolytic rate (<5%), non-toxic on Artemia salina (LD50%>3000 ppm), and significant index (1-34%) of antioxidant activity, and the results demonstrated that chitosan and its derivatives are promising biomaterials.
