Drug delivery and related pharmaceutical development in the context of nanomedicine should be viewed as science and technology of nanometer scale complex systems (10–1000 nm), consisting of at least two components, one of which is a pharmaceutically active ingredient (Duncan 2003; Ferrari 2005), although nanoparticle …

Some view chitosan as the natural equivalent to cholestyramine, as both can bind bile salts and mycotoxins. (23) Lab studies do suggest chitosan may help bind some mycotoxins, such as ochratoxin and trichothecene. But it's far from effective. (24, 25) In one lab test, chitosan only bound 27% of the trichothecene present.
