Gastrointestinal mucus, a complex network of highly branched glycoproteins and macromolecules, is the first barrier through which orally delivered drug and gene vectors must traverse. The diffusion of such vectors can be restricted by the high adhesivity and viscoelasticity of mucus. In this investigation, the barrier properties of gastrointestinal mucus to particle transport were explored using real-time multiple particle tracking. The influence of surface chemistry on particle transport rates…

Sulfobetaine NPs were highly efficient NPs in term of their stability, charge density, particle size and importantly their diffusivities through the mucus barrier which was significantly higher as compared with all other tested NPs and related to the ratio of the sulfobetane polymer in the NPs.
