Objective To prepare and characterize' folate-coupled chitosan nanoparticles. Methods Optimal technological conditions were selected according to the coupling ratio of folate and chitosan. Folate-coupled chitosan was prepared by the reaction of the activated folate ester with the amine group on the chitosan. Folate-coupled chitosan nanoparticles were then prepared with the ionic cross-linking method and the average diameter, Zeta potential of the nanoparticles were determined. Results It was shown by the results of an orthogonal test that the amount of the activated folate ester used and the reaction temparature were the main factors influencing the coupling ratio. Folate-coupled chitosan with a ratio of about three folate molecules coupled to one chitosan molecule could be prepared when the ratio of the amounts of the active folate ester to chitosan used was 2 : 1, the reaction temperature was 50℃ and the reaction time was 2 h. The average diameter and Zeta potential of the nanoparticles were 316 nm and (24.85 ± 1.14) my, respectively. The folate-coupled chitosan nanoparticles were spherical in shape as shown under the transmission election microscope. Conclusion Folate-coupled chitosan nanoparticles could be prepared successfully with the method.
