The influence of the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid on the mangiferin release kinetics from the polymer matrix by P. P. Snetkov, R. O. Shaikenov, V. I. Klimshina, Yu. E. Generalova, S. N. Morozkina

“…Mangiferin release kinetic from a polymer matrix based on hyaluronic acid has a release sigmoidal pattern. The release mechanism has a complex nature of the Super Case II transport type, with the exception of a sample with a low content of mangiferin and hyaluronic acid with molecular weight equal to 1.3 MDa, for which an abnormal release pattern is detected (non-Fickian diffusion), due to the hydrophilic nature of hyaluronic acid, the rapid swelling of the polymer matrix, as well as a significant leading in the diffusion of mangiferin compared to the relaxation rate of the polymer. …”
