gel-forming ability and mucoadhesive behavior. It also offers structural modification of TSX, including graft copolymerization, carboxymethylation, thiolation, sulphation, alkylamination, etc. Depending on modifications, the TSX derivatives are reported to have enhanced viscosity, enhanced mucoadhesive nature, and increased swelling behavior. The chemical modification can also control the rate of hydrolysis and microbial degradation. The applications of native and modified TSX are described in this review, along with several commonly used modification techniques.
