This Master thesis investigates the interaction between the polysaccharide sodium hyaluronate (HA) and some amphiphilic molecules. It is known that the presence of the carboxylic group on HA and the aminogroup on the amphiphiles leads to electrostatic interaction between these two compounds. This supposal offers the possibility to physically modify HA and use it as a new type of a carrier of bioactive compounds, for example medicals. However, successful carrier of bioactive compound has to resist a certain value of ionic strength. The high-molecular weights HA (1.75MDa) and amphiphile lysine were chosen for the study of the influence of ionic strength on the system HA – amphiphile. Our results show that system HA – amphiphile system is suppressed even by low concentrate solution of electrolyte. Therefore the system was reinforced by protonation of the aminoacid. The results show, that the interactions were reinforced, nevertheless negative influence of chlorine anions had to be eliminated by lyophilization. The solutions with strengthened system HA – amphiphile were used for the research of ionic strength influence. The amphiphiles lysine, 6 - aminocaproic acid and arginine were selected for this study. The interactions were investigated by means of reometry and conductometry.
