Trimethyl chitosan（Cat No.:I042914）is a derivative of chitosan, a biopolymer derived from chitin found in the shells of crustaceans. It is chemically modified by the addition of methyl groups, which improves its solubility and enhances its ability to interact with biological systems. Trimethyl chitosan has several applications, particularly in drug delivery systems, due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to facilitate the encapsulation of various therapeutic agents. It is also studied for its potential use in wound healing, as a dietary supplement, and in cosmetic formulations for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
