Abstract
This literature review examines the biological properties of hyaluronic acid (HA), its various chemical modifications with carboxyl, hydroxyl, and acetamide groups, applicable in drug and genetic material delivery systems. Special attention is paid to the use of HA in complexes with metal nanoparticles, other biopolymers, and biomolecules. HA molecules of different molar masses exhibit different effects on cellular processes. Therefore, HA fractions with strictly defined molecular masses are used to achieve various goals. Unique properties of HAsuch as high bioavailability, biocompatibility, antioxidant properties, and high affinity for a number of cellular receptors make HA a promising means for use in targeted therapy. The use of HA in regenerative medicine has been also discussed.

期刊介绍:
The aim of the Russian-language journal "Biomeditsinskaya Khimiya" (Biomedical Chemistry) is to introduce the latest results obtained by scientists from Russia and other Republics of the Former Soviet Union. The Journal will cover all major areas of Biomedical chemistry, including neurochemistry, clinical chemistry, molecular biology of pathological processes, gene therapy, development of new drugs and their biochemical pharmacology, introduction and advertisement of new (biochemical) methods into experimental and clinical medicine etc. The Journal also publish review articles. All issues of journal usually contain invited reviews. Papers written in Russian contain abstract (in English).
