Zhao B, Li H, Tian K, Su Y, Zou Z. Synthesis and antitumor activity of bagasse xylan derivatives modified by graft-esterification and cross-linking. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126867.

Abstract
A crucial aspect in achieving sustainable development of biomass materials is the modification of renewable polysaccharides to create various high-value functional materials. In this paper, bagasse xylan (BX) was used as a raw material to introduce benzyl methacrylate (BMA) through graft copolymerization reaction to generate the intermediate product BX-g-BMA. Subsequently, the target product (CA-BX-g-BMA) was synthesized by catalytic esterification of BX-g-BMA with citric acid (CA) in AmimCl ionic liquid. Meanwhile, the characterization and bioactivity studies of CA-BX-g-BMA were carried out. The graft copolymerization and esterification reactions induced significant changes in the morphological structure of BX and obviously improved its thermal stability and crystallinity. The application of density functional theory (DFT), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) and molecular docking has revealed that CA-BX-g-BMA possesses multiple active sites, strong biological activity and a strong binding affinity to 6RCF tumor protein with a binding energy of -32.26 kJ/mol. The in vitro antitumor activity of this novel derivative was tested by MTT assay, and the results showed that CA-BX-g-BMA was non-toxic to normal cells and inhibited MDA-MB-231 (breast cancer cells) by up to 32.16 % ± 4.89 %, which is approximately 11 times higher than that of BX. The exploration of these properties is essential to promote future multidisciplinary applications of BX derivatives.

Abstract
The present study describes the study of synergistic behavior of the Cassia tora (CTG) gum with xanthan gum (XG) and comparison with CTG and guar gum (GG) at varying temperatures. A carboxymethyl derivative of CTG: XG blend, having synergistic activity was synthesized and the reaction conditions were optimized using Taguchi's L'9 statistical design. The effect of solvent medium on the degree of substitution (DS) and the gelling property was also studied. The results reveal that synergistic interaction was found in the CTG: XG mixture whereas CTG: GG blend did not show synergistic behavior. The CTG: XG blend shows a highly viscous solution having 8371.9 cps viscosity at ambient temperature and gel is obtained by heating the blending solution and thereafter lowering the temperature. In continuum, an optimized carboxymethyl derivative (DS 0.16) also exhibits gelling properties. The carboxymethyl derivative was characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR spectroscopy and FESEM analysis. The synergistic action of gums may be utilized in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Medical textiles are one of the most rapidly growing parts of the technical textiles sector in the textile industry. This work aims to investigate the medical applications of a curcumin/TiO2 nanocomposite fabricated on the surface of cotton fabric. The cotton fabric was pretreated with three crosslinking agents, namely citric acid, 3-Chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (Quat 188) and 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS), by applying the nanocomposite to the modified cotton fabric using the pad-dry-cure method. The chemistry and morphology of the modified fabrics were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the chemical mechanism for the nanocomposite-modified fabric was reported. UV protection (UPF) and antibacterial properties against Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli bacterial strains were investigated. The durability of the fabrics to 20 washing cycles was also examined. Results demonstrated that the nanocomposite-modified cotton fabric exhibited superior antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria and excellent UV protection properties. Moreover, a good durability was obtained, which was possibly due to the effect of the crosslinker used. Among the three pre-modifications of the cotton fabric, Quat 188 modified fabric revealed the highest antibacterial activity compared with citric acid or GPTMS modified fabrics. This outcome suggested that the curcumin/TiO2 nanocomposite Quat 188-modified cotton fabric could be used as a biomedical textile due to its antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Paper industry uses cationic polymers for imparting strong bonds with pulp furnish to enhance strength properties. Due to environmental reasons, emphasis is on utilization of biobased polymers in place of synthetic. Sugarcane bagasse, an agro-industrial waste, was processed for extraction of alpha cellulose and preparation of cationic derivative. Reaction conditions were optimized to achieve highly substituted cationic derivative with insertion of 2-hydroxy-3-(trimethylammonium) propyl group. Artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to analyze the experimental data for cationization modeling. Maximum degree of substitution 0.66, was achieved at 5.0 M NaOH/anhydro glucose unit (AGU), 20 °C alkalization temperature, 8 min alkalization time, 3.5 M/AGU etherification agent concentration, 45 min time and 60 °C etherification reaction temperature. The experimental results showed that mean square error values for input parameters were significantly low. The ANN based regression values of the output, and computed values of target were close to unity. ANN based fitting indicates better performance level to predict the degree of substitution. The synthesized cationic cellulose was characterized through FTIR, XRD, NMR, FESEM and TGA. The activity of cationized cellulose as wet-end additive was tested for bagasse, wheat straw and recycled pulps due to their shorten fiber and feeble pulp characters than wood pulp.

Abstract
The hydrolytic hydrogenation of xylan to xylitol by a one-pot process was studied in detail in a batch reactor. The reaction was catalyzed by a combination of diluted sulfuric acid and precious metal Ru on carbon powder. Process parameters were varied between 120–150°C, while maintaining constant hydrogen pressure at 20 bar and an acid concentration equivalent to pH 2. The xylan solution consisted of 1 wt% beechwood powder (Carl Roth, >90%) in deionized water. Sulfuric acid was added to the solution until pH two was reached, then the 0.3 wt% catalyst powder (5% Ru on Act. C) was added and the solution was put into the batch reactor. The first approach of kinetic modeling began with conventional first-order kinetics and compared this to a more complex model based on Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetics. The xylan and xylitol data reached a good fit. However, the modeling results also showed that the rate-limiting step of xylose-formation was still not represented in a satisfactory manner. Therefore, the model was adapted and developed further. The advanced model finally showed a good fit with the intermediate product xylose and the target product xylitol. The overall modeling methods and results are presented and discussed.

Abstract
There has been a cumulative interest across the globe in substituting the synthetic materials with sustainable, economical, and biobased green alternatives for utilization in diverse industrial applications. Galactomannans are among the most important sustainable, biodegradable macromolecules abundantly produced by plants, which can be exploited for a range of end-use applications. Functionalization of the galactomannans may improve the physicochemical properties for diverse industrial applications. In the present study, the cationic derivative of Cassia tora gum, a 1:5 galactomannan, was synthesized under heterogeneous alkaline conditions using CHPTAC. The effect of each reaction parameter on the degree of substitution (DS) was investigated using Taguchi L16 orthogonal array. The optimized cationic product with DS 0.28 showed promising results as a biopolymeric flocculant for wastewater treatment and as a wet strength additive for improving the physical strength of paper prepared from old corrugated carton for its recycling. The optimized product was characterized by advanced spectroscopic methods.

Abstract
In Malaysia, Piper sarmentosum or ‘kaduk’ is commonly used in traditional medicines. However, its biological effects including in vivo embryonic toxicity and tissue regenerative properties are relatively unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo toxicities and caudal fin tissue regeneration in the presence of P. sarmentosum aqueous extracts. The phytochemical components and antioxidant activity of the extract were studied using GC–MS analysis and DPPH assay, respectively. Embryo toxicity tests involving survival, heartbeat, and morphological analyses were conducted to determine P. sarmentosum extract toxicity (0–60 µg/mL); concentrations of 0–400 µg/mL of the extract were used to study tissue regeneration in the zebrafish caudal fin. The extract contained several phytochemicals with antioxidant activity and exhibited DPPH scavenging activity (IC50 = 50.56 mg/mL). Embryo toxicity assays showed that a concentration of 60 μg/mL showed the highest rates of lethality regardless of exposure time. Slower embryogenesis was observed at 40 µg/mL, with non-viable embryos first detected at 50 µg/mL. Extracts showed significant differences (p < 0.01) for tissue regeneration at all concentrations when compared to non-treated samples. In conclusion, Piper sarmentosum extracts accelerated tissue regeneration, and extract concentrations at 60 µg/mL showed the highest toxicity levels for embryo viability.

Abstract
The recovery and upgrade of hemicelluloses, a family of heteropolysaccharides in wood, is a key step to making lignocellulosic biomass conversion a cost-effective sustainable process in biorefinery. The comparative selective catalytic C-O bond hydrogenolysis of C5-C6 polyols, sugars, and their mixtures for the production of valuable C6 and C5 deoxygenated products was studied at 200 °C under 80 bar H2 over ReOx-Rh/ZrO2 catalysts. The sugars were rapidly converted to the polyols or converted into their hydrogenolysis products. Regardless of the reactants, C-O bond cleavage occurred significantly via multiple consecutive deoxygenation steps and led to the formation of linear deoxygenated C6 or C5 polyols. The distribution of products depended on the nature of the substrate and C-C bond scission was more important from monosaccharides. In addition, we demonstrated effective hydrogenolysis of a hemicellulose-extracted liquor from delignified maritime pine containing monosaccharides and low MW oligomers. Compared with the sugar-derived polyols, the mono- and oligosaccharides in the liquor were more rapidly converted to hexanediols or pentanediols. C-O bond scission was significant, giving a yield of desired deoxygenated products as high as 65%, higher than in the reaction of the synthetic mixture of glucose/xylose of the same C6/C5 sugar ratio (yield of 30%).

Abstract
Novel non-charged and ionic xylan carbamate (XC) derivatives were synthesized in a modular approach from xylan phenyl carbonates (XPC) as reactive intermediates. XPC with varying degrees of substitution (DS) from 0.5 to 1.9 were converted with different non-ionic primary and secondary amines in different molar ratio to obtain the corresponding XC with high conversion rates of up to 100%. In a similar way, ionic amines were employed for the aminolysis of XPC to obtain charged XC. The XC were characterized by NMR- and infrared spectroscopy. XPC proofed to be highly versatile building blocks for the preparation of ionic xylan derivatives. The type and amount of charged groups could be tuned efficiently. Moreover, high DS values of up to 1.4 for cationic and 1.8 for anionic XC derivatives could be achieved, which is higher than reported previously for comparable ionic xylan derivatives that were prepared by "conventional" esterification and etherification reactions.

Abstract
In the present work, novel thioether xylans were synthesized via a simple procedure using water as solvent. First, allyl groups were introduced on the backbone of xylan by etherification of allyl chloride in aqueous alkaline conditions at 40°C, providing degree of substitution (DS) values up to 0.49. On the second step, the allyl groups were reacted with thioacetic acid, cysteamine hydrochloride or cysteine providing novel thiol-, amine- or amino acid functionalized xylans. The presented modular approach offers broad possibilities for developing new polysaccharide based materials. The thioacetic acid - ene reaction is reported for the first time for polysaccharide modification, yielding a protected thiol that can be stored at atmospheric conditions and can be deprotected by simple hydrolysis just prior to use, providing a versatile water soluble polythiol. The free thiol-groups were utilized for hydrogel formation through thiol-thiol oxidative coupling, allowing good control over the hydrogel shape, such as 3D hydrogel scaffolds and cross-linked foams. Further, the thiol-containing xylan was used to modify filter paper surface by a simple dipping method, which provides a novel and convenient way for introducing thiol-functionality on paper surface.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking during spray drying offers the potential for green fabrication of microgels with a rapid stimuli response and good blood compatibility and provides a platform for stimuli-responsive hemicellulose microgels (SRHMGs). The cross-linking reaction occurs rapidly in situ at elevated temperature during spray drying, enabling the production of microgels in a large scale within a few minutes. The SRHMGs with an average size range of ∼ 1-4 μm contain O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan as a matrix and poly(acrylic acid), aniline pentamer (AP), and iron as functional additives, which are responsive to external changes in pH, electrochemical stimuli, magnetic field, or dual-stimuli. The surface morphologies, chemical compositions, charge, pH, and mechanical properties of these smart microgels were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, IR, zeta potential measurements, pH evaluation, and quantitative nanomechanical mapping, respectively. Different oxidation states were observed when AP was introduced, as confirmed by UV spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Systematic blood compatibility evaluations revealed that the SRHMGs have good blood compatibility. This bottom-up strategy to synthesize SRHMGs enables a new route to the production of smart microgels for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In the present work, hydrogels of birch wood xylan and thermoresponsive poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(propylene glycol)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PPG-PEG) were prepared using copper catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) in aqueous reaction conditions. First, reactive azide groups were introduced on the backbone of xylan by etherification of 1-azido-2,3-epoxypropane in alkaline water/isopropanol-mixture at ambient temperature, providing degree of substitution (DS) values up to 0.28. On the second step, the azide groups were reacted with propargyl bifunctional PEG-PPG-PEG utilizing CuAAC, leading to formation of crosslinked hydrogels. The novel xylan derivatives were characterized with liquid and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and elemental analysis (EA). The temperature controlled swelling behavior of the developed hydrogels was evaluated in the range of 7-70 °C by water absorption and compressive stress-strain measurements, which showed a reduction in water content and change in stiffness with increasing temperature. The morphology of the hydrogels at different temperatures was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed a reduction in pore size with increasing temperature.

Abstract
Xylan was isolated from birch wood chips by using pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE). The extracted xylan was chemically modified yielding three different xylan derivatives (XDs): xylan sulfate (XS), carboxymethyl xylan (CMX) and xylan-4-[N,N,N-trimethylammonium]butyrate chloride (XTMAB). The structure and molecular weight of XDs was determined by using NMR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The potential utilization of xylan polyelectrolytes for modifying fibre surfaces was assessed by sorption experiments using bleached pine Kraft pulp as substrate. Polyelectrolyte titration method was chosen for estimating the amount of sorbed XDs onto the fibres. The cationic xylan derivative XTMAB had a strong interaction with fibres while the anionic derivatives did not show any sorption. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) were selected as advanced surface analyses for studying the amount of surface anionic groups and the surface distribution of the XTMAB. XPS and polyelectrolyte titration results suggested that the XTMAB is sorbed onto the fibre surfaces. ToF-SIMS imaging showed that XTMAB was evenly distributed on fibre surfaces.

Abstract
This critical review provides a survey illustrated by recent references of different strategies to achieve a sustainable conversion of biomass to bioproducts. Because of the huge number of chemical products that can be potentially manufactured, a selection of starting materials and targeted chemicals has been done. Also, thermochemical conversion processes such as biomass pyrolysis or gasification as well as the synthesis of biofuels were not considered. The synthesis of chemicals by conversion of platform molecules obtained by depolymerisation and fermentation of biopolymers is presently the most widely envisioned approach. Successful catalytic conversion of these building blocks into intermediates, specialties and fine chemicals will be examined. However, the platform molecule value chain is in competition with well-optimised, cost-effective synthesis routes from fossil resources to produce chemicals that have already a market. The literature covering alternative value chains whereby biopolymers are converted in one or few steps to functional materials will be analysed. This approach which does not require the use of isolated, pure chemicals is well adapted to produce high tonnage products, such as paper additives, paints, resins, foams, surfactants, lubricants, and plasticisers. Another objective of the review was to examine critically the green character of conversion processes because using renewables as raw materials does not exempt from abiding by green chemistry principles (368 references).
