In the present study, chitosan-glycerophosphate sodium salt solution as a thermosensitive system (TSS) was used to formulate a temperature-sensitive drug delivery system (TSDDS) containing acetaminophen (AAP). The optimized TSS was prepared by measuring gelation temperature, gelation time and rheological properties of TSS. The optimized gelation temperature and time of TSS were and 100 seconds, respectively. The viscosity of TSS was also suitable for maintaining gel structure at . The release profiles of TSDDS in PBS/pH 7.4 with various apparatuses and mass loss of TSDDS were investigated. The time required to release 50% of AAP from TSDDS () was 120 min with the formation of pore on the surfaces, which was 2 times longer than that from AAP-chitosan gel. In addition, TSDDS was degraded approximately 80% within 4 hr and then degraded slowly for 20 hrs. In conclusion, AAP-TSS (TSDDS) formulated in this study might be suitable for some specific uses such as subcutaneous injection and rectal formulation.
