摘要：
A series of esters of chitosan with cholesteryl hexanoate and cholesteryl decanoate side chains were synthesised. These compounds had higher solubilities than chitosan itself and all formed cholesteric lyotropic liquid crystalline phases. They had enhanced mesogenic properties as compared with the parent polymer. We consider that these compounds may prove to be of value as vehicles for drug delivery.
