Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:132769. [PMID: 38823745 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Paper-based test film material is widely used in a variety of test instruments for different applications. The enzyme activity test paper sheet is one of the most popularly used test papers. Here we present a novel fabrication of paper-based enzyme activity test paper without cationic resin added in. The chemical pulping fibers were first beaten to different degrees (from 14.6 to 41.5°SR) with a PFI beater. After that, the fibers were modified with a cationic agent (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) under the system of alkali and water solution. Finally, the test papers were made with the modified fiber by a regular paper former in lab. The results showed that beating is beneficial for the improvement of the cationization reaction which is indicated by the Zeta potential, FTIR and EDS. The main mechanisms involved are the destruction of crystalline zone, increase of free hydroxyl group and defibrillation. This hypothesis was supported by the SEM, XRD and fiber analyzer. Beating under the optimized condition, the wet strength and liquid absorbability of test paper can meet the application requirement, and the test results of enzyme activity are quite close to those of commercial test papers.

[PMID: 37976957 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.108982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
A series of sulfopropyl chitins (SCs) with the degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.11 to 0.40 and high degree of acetylation (DA ≥ 0.82) were homogeneously synthesized by reacting chitin with sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate (SCHPS) in NaOH/urea aqueous solutions under mild conditions. The structure and properties of SCs were characterized with 1H NMR, CP/MAS 13C NMR, FT-IR, XPS, XRD, elemental analysis, GPC, AFM, ζ-potential and rheological measurements. The mild reaction conditions resulted in less N-deacetylation and uniform structures with substitution occurring predominantly at the hydroxyl groups at C6 of the chitin backbone. The DS value for SC soluble in dilute alkali solution is as low as 0.16. SC exhibited good solubility in distilled water when its DS value reached 0.28. Water-soluble SCs self-assembled in water into micelles by the attractive hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions between polymer chains. The water-insoluble SC-2 with lower DS could thermally form smart hydrogels at body temperature (37 °C) in physiological condition. Moreover, the SCs exhibited good biocompatibility, making them suitable for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Gene delivery for non-small-cell lung cancer treatment has been a challenge due to low nucleic acid binding ability, cell-wall barrier, and high cytotoxicity. Cationic polymers, such as the traditional "golden standard" polyethyleneimine (PEI) 25 kDa have emerged as a promising carrier for non-coding RNA delivery. However, the high cytotoxicity associated with its high molecular weight has limited its application in gene delivery. To address this limitation, herein, we designed a novel delivery system using fluorine-modified polyethyleneimine (PEI) 1.8 kDa for microRNA-942-5p-sponges non-coding RNA delivery. Compared to PEI 25 kDa, this novel gene delivery system demonstrated an approximately six-fold enhancement in endocytosis capability and maintain a higher cell viability. In vivo studies also showed good biosafety and anti-tumor effects, attribute to the positive charge of PEI and the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties of the fluorine-modified group. This study provides an effective gene delivery system for non-small-cell lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
Recently, increasing attention has been paid to natural polysaccharides for their low cost, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Quaternization is a modification method to improve the solubility and antibacterial ability of natural polysaccharides. Water-soluble derivatives of cellulose, chitin and chitosan offer the prospect of diverse applications in a wide range of fields, such as antibacterial products, drug delivery, wound healing, sewage treatment and ion exchange membranes. By combining the inherent properties of cellulose, chitin and chitosan with the inherent properties of the quaternary ammonium groups, new products with multiple functions and properties can be obtained. In this review, we summarized the research progress in the applications of quaternized cellulose, chitin and chitosan in recent five years. Moreover, ubiquitous challenges and personal perspectives on the further development of this promising field are also discussed.

Abstract
Ultrasonic approach to the synthesis of the first selenium-containing derivatives of chitin and chitosan has been developed. The synthetic procedure is simple, provides high yields, does not require harsh conditions, and uses water as the reaction medium. The elaborated chitin and chitosan derivatives and their based nanoparticles are non-toxic and possess high antibacterial and antifungal activity. Their antimicrobial activity exceeds the effect of the classic antibiotics (Ampicillin and Gentamicin) and the antifungal drug Amphotericin B. The obtained selenium-containing cationic chitin and chitosan derivatives exhibit a high transfection activity and are promising gene delivery vectors. Nanoparticles of the synthesized polymers are highly efficient catalysts for the oxidation of 1-phenylethyl alcohol to acetophenone by bromine at room temperature.

Abstract
Various treatments for hypertrophic scars (HS) are applied after wound re-epithelialization. However, the lack of early intervention within the wound bed leads to poor HS treatment outcomes. In this study, quaternized chitin (QC) derivatives with different degrees of deacetylation (7.4% and 78.9%) are synthesized and their effects on HS formation are evaluated in a rabbit ear scar model. Early application of QC alleviates scar hypertrophy without delayed wound healing. Fibroblast count, collagen content, and α-smooth muscle actin expression are decreased, while matrix metalloproteinase-1 is upregulated on day 35 in the QC treatment group. QC suppresses inflammatory cell infiltration and IL-6 expression. A subsequent reduction in transforming growth factor β1 expression is also observed. The inhibitory effect of QC on HS formation is eliminated through the administration of exogenous IL-6. Taken together, early application of QC inhibits HS formation by downregulating IL-6 expression, and QC with a low degree of deacetylation tends to be more effective. Considering its potential for accelerating wound healing, inhibiting HS formation, and its antibacterial activity, QC may be used as an effective dressing in clinical wound management.

Abstract
Over the last years, chitosan has demonstrated unparalleled characteristics for regenerative medicine applications. Beside excellent antimicrobial and wound healing properties, this polysaccharide biopolymer offers favorable characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and film and fiber-forming capabilities. Having plentiful active amine groups, chitosan can be also readily modified to provide auxiliary features for growing demands in regenerative medicine, which is constantly confronted with new problems, necessitating the creation of biocompatible, immunogenic and biodegradable film/scaffold composites. A new look at the chitosan composites structure/activity/application tradeoff is the primary focus of the current review, which can help researchers to detect the bottlenecks and overcome the shortcomings that arose from this intersection. In the current review, the most recent advances in chitosan films and scaffolds in terms of preparation techniques and modifying methods for improving their functional properties, in three major biomedical fields i.e., tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery are surveyed and discussed.

Abstract
Since being discovered, alkali/urea has been widely used in the dissolution of natural polysaccharides and the preparation of functional materials such as hydrogels, fibers, films and nanoparticles. This work will focus on verifying the structural stability, homogeneous degradation and deacetylation of chitin in alkali-soluble systems. The chitin was dissolved in NaOH/urea solution and stored at different temperature. At the specific time, the structure, viscosity, acetylation degree (DA) and biocompatibility of chitin and prepared chitosan were determined. The results indicated that dissolution process did not affect the structure and bioactivity of chitin. However, with the increase of storage time and temperature, chitin undergone significant homogeneous deacetylation (DA from 99.5% to 33.2%) and degradation (viscosity from 9284 cP to 1538 cP), accompanying by changes in crystalline structure and thermal stability. Moreover, the processed chitins were no-toxic for the biomedicine applications. This work will provide new ideas for the application of alkali-soluble systems.

Abstract
In this study, a novel peptide grafted chitosan (CACS-FBP) with high peptide content, excellent moisture-absorption and moisture-retention abilities was prepared. Caffeic acid (CA) was used to modify chitosan, the highly water-soluble intermediate further reacted with fish bone collagen peptide to obtain the final product, and the synthesis of CACS-FBP was confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), NMR, and UV-vis. The single-factor experiments indicated that the degree of substitution (DS) of CACS-FBP depended on the reaction temperature, reaction time, the mass ratio of fish bone collagen peptide to CACS (mFBP/mCACS) and the mass ratio of MTGase to CACS (mMTGase/mCACS). In addition, the antioxidant assay indicated that CACS-FBP had an excellent antioxidant capacity, and the CACS-FBP showed no cytotoxicity toward L929 mouse fibroblasts, all the results mean that the prepared peptide-containing chitosan derivative has potential application in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields.

Abstract
In this work, we treated chitin with 2-(azidomethyl)oxirane and successfully involved the resultant azido chitin derivatives in the ultrasound-assisted Cu(I)-catalyzed azido-alkyne click (CuAAC) reaction with propargylic ester of N,N,N-trimethyl glycine. Thus, we obtained novel water-soluble triazole chitin derivatives. The triazole chitin derivatives and their nanoparticles are characterized by a high in vitro antibacterial activity, which is the same or even higher than that of commercial antibiotics ampicillin and gentamicin. The obtained derivatives are non-toxic. Moreover, the obtained water-soluble polymers are highly efficient green catalysts for the aldol reaction in green solvent water. The catalysts can be easily extracted from the reaction mixture by its precipitation with green solvent ethanol followed by centrifugation and they can be reused at least 10 times.

Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 163:2005-2012. [PMID: 32976904 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.09.123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
A facile route towards new chitin derivatives with both catalytical and biological activities is proposed in the course of methodology development aimed at the design of polyfunctional materials on the basis of renewable and accessible natural polysaccharides. Ultrasound-promoted and Cu(I)-catalyzed azido-alkyne click cycloaddition of the propargylic ester of nicotinic acid and its N-methylated analogue to the azido chitin derivative allowed us to obtain previously unknown non-toxic water-soluble derivatives of chitin. The obtained polymers and their based nanoparticles demonstrated a high antibacterial activity in vitro, which is comparable or even superior to that of commercial antibiotics ampicillin and gentamicin. New derivatives of chitin were also shown to be highly efficient and reusable (at least for 10 times) green catalysts for the aldol reaction in water. The catalysts can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by their precipitation with ethanol. The results obtained highlight prospects of further studies on chitin's application in the rational design of novel functional materials with valuable properties.

Abstract
Many by-products that are harmful to the environment and human health are generated during food processing. However, these wastes are often potential resources with high-added value. For example, crustacean waste contains large amounts of chitin. Chitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in natural macromolecules, and is a typical component of crustaceans, mollusks, insect exoskeleton and fungal cell walls. Chitosan is prepared by deacetylation of chitin and a copolymer of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine through β-(1 → 4)-glycosidic bonds. Chitosan has better solubility, biocompatibility and degradability compared with chitin. This review introduces the preparation, physicochemical properties, chemical and physical modification methods of chitosan, which could help us understand its biological activities and applications. According to the latest reports, the antibacterial activity, antioxidant, immune and antitumor activities of chitosan and its derivatives are summarized. Simultaneously, the various applications of chitosan and its derivatives are reviewed, including food, chemical, textile, medical and health, and functional materials. Finally, some insights into its future potential are provided, including novel modification methods, directional modification according to structure-activity relationship, activity and application development direction, etc.

Abstract
In this work, a user-friendly chitin-based adsorbent (CT-PmPD) was synthesized by in-situ polymerization of m-phenylenediamine on chitin bead, which could effectively remove Cr(VI) from water. The structure and morphology of the CT-PmPD were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, zeta potential and XPS. Specifically, the effect of adsorbed dosage, pH, contact time, adsorption temperature and coexisting salt on the adsorption of Cr(VI) were studied. Besides, the adsorption mechanism of CT-PmPD toward Cr(VI) were also analyzed. Consequently, CT-PmPD exhibited a monolayer adsorption and the Langmuir model fitted a Cr(VI) adsorption capacity reaching 185.4 mg/g at 298 K. The high adsorption capacity was attributed to the abundant amino groups of CT-PmPD, which could be protonated to boost the electrostatic attraction of Cr(VI) oxyanions, thus providing electron to reduce Cr(VI). Additionally, the CT-PmPD revealed a good regeneration and reusability capacity, maintaining most of its adsorption capacity even after five cycles of adsorption-desorption. This high adsorption capacity and excellent regeneration performance highlighted the great potential of CT-PmPD for the removal of Cr(VI).

Abstract
This review presents the extractions, characterisations, applications and economic analyses of natural coagulant in separating pollutants and microalgae from water medium, known as microalgae harvesting. The promising future of microalgae as a next-generation energy source is reviewed and the significant drawbacks of conventional microalgae harvesting using alum are evaluated. The performances of natural coagulant in microalgae harvesting are studied and proven to exceed the alum. In addition, the details of each processing stage in the extraction of natural coagulant (plant, microbial and animal) are comprehensively discussed with justifications. This information could contribute to future exploration of novel natural coagulants by providing description of optimised extraction steps for a number of natural coagulants. Besides, the characterisations of natural coagulants have garnered a great deal of attention, and the strategies to enhance the flocculating activity based on their characteristics are discussed. Several important characterisations have been tabulated in this review such as physical aspects, including surface morphology and surface charges; chemical aspects, including molecular weight, functional group and elemental properties; and thermal stability parameters including thermogravimetry analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Furthermore, various applications of natural coagulant in the industries other than microalgae harvesting are revealed. The cost analysis of natural coagulant application in mass harvesting of microalgae is allowed to evaluate its feasibility towards commercialisation in the industrial. Last, the potentially new natural coagulants, which are yet to be exploited and applied, are listed as the additional information for future study.

Int J Biol Macromol 2019; 152:948-956.

Abstract
To overcome the different extra-/intracellular barriers in gene delivery, tumor-targeted and pH/redox-responsive ternary polyplexes with charge-conversional properties were prepared through a modular self-assembly strategy. Firstly, the thiolated trimethylated chitosan (TMC-SH) was synthesized to crosslink and condense pDNA through electrostatic interaction and disulfide formation, which obtained the TMC-SS/pDNA binary polyplexes with redox-responsive gene release. To further endow the binary polyplexes with tumor targeting and endo/lysosomal pH-triggered charge-reversal properties, a folate conjugated cis-aconitic amide-polyethylenimine (FA-PEI-AcO) was synthesized to shield the positive TMC-SS/pDNA, generating the FA-PEI-AcO/TMC-SS/pDNA ternary polyplexes with a size of ~190 nm and negative surface-charges. The ζ-potential of the polyplexes was stable at physiological pH and increased rapidly from -14 mV to + 20 mV at pH 5.5 (endo/lysosomal pH) due to the breakages of acid-liable amide bonds and the subsequent de-shielding of FA-PEI-AcO layers, which might benefit the endo/lysosomal escape of the polyplexes. Afterward, the polyplexes could redox-responsively release gene at higher intracellular concentrations of glutathione. By taking advantage of such multi-responses, significantly enhanced transfection efficiency was achieved in vitro in Hela cells for the ternary polyplexes. These results suggested that the newly developed polyplexes had potential application for gene delivery.

Abstract
Huge amounts of chitin and chitosans can be found in the biosphere as important constituents of the exoskeleton of many organisms and as waste by worldwide seafood companies. Presently, politicians, environmentalists, and industrialists encourage the use of these marine polysaccharides as a renewable source developed by alternative eco-friendly processes, especially in the production of regular cosmetics. The aim of this review is to outline the physicochemical and biological properties and the different bioextraction methods of chitin and chitosan sources, focusing on enzymatic deproteinization, bacteria fermentation, and enzymatic deacetylation methods. Thanks to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and bioactivity, the applications of these marine polymers are widely used in the contemporary manufacturing of biomedical and pharmaceutical products. In the end, advanced cosmetics based on chitin and chitosans are presented, analyzing different therapeutic aspects regarding skin, hair, nail, and oral care. The innovative formulations described can be considered excellent candidates for the prevention and treatment of several diseases associated with different body anatomical sectors.

Abstract
A series of amphiphilic chitin derivatives were synthesized by conjugating hexadecyl groups (degree of substitute of hexadecyl groups (DSH) = 0.11, 0.18, and 0.24) onto the backbone of quaternized chitins (degree of substitute of quaternary ammonium groups (DSQ) = 0.36). The amphiphilic chitin derivatives could self-assemble into cationic micelles with hydrophobic alkyl side chain as core and hydrophilic quaternary ammonium groups as shell in deionized water. The biocompatible cationic micelles with an average particle size of 332.4-385.0 nm showed a drug loading content (DLC) of 10.2%-15.1%. The release behavior of DOX from micelles strongly depended on the DSH values of chitin derivatives. DOX-loaded micelles effectively inhibited the growth of HepG2 cells through being internalized into HepG2 cells, and releasing DOX into the cytoplasm and nucleus. This work presented a novel chitin-based nanocarrier for potential chemotherapy.

Abstract
The upconversion luminescence (UCL) marker based on upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) shows unique advantages over traditional fluorescence markers, such as enhanced tissue penetration, better photostability, and less autofluorescence. Herein, we constructed a new UCL gene-delivery nonviral vector via layer-by-layer self-assembly of poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) with UCNPs. To reduce the cytotoxicity of PEI, citric acid (CA) was introduced for aqueous modification, and PEI assembly was introduced on the UCNP surface. Our data show that the nonviral vector for UCL gene-delivery demonstrates excellent photostability, low toxicity, and good stability under physiological or serum conditions and can strongly bind to DNA. Moreover, this UCL PEI-based vector could serve as a promising fluorescent gene-delivery carrier for theranostic applications.

Abstract
A novel chitin-based biosorbent (QCP) was synthesized by cross-linking quaternized chitin and branched polyethylenimine with the aid of epichlorohydrin for efficient removal of Cr(VI) from water. Because it possessed both quaternary ammonium groups and amino groups as well as the hierarchical pore structure, QCP presented a maximum adsorption capacity of 387.7 mg/g according to the Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C. The biosorption of QCP achieved the equilibrium within 40 min and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. QCP worked well even in the solution with high pH and high content of competing anions and, it exhibited an excellent reusability. The main Cr(VI) uptake mechanism was confirmed to be electrostatic attractions between Cr(VI) anions and quaternary ammonium groups as well as the protonated amino groups, and followed by partial reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by amines and hydroxyls. This work may provide a potential for Cr(VI) removal by chitin-based biosorbents.

Abstract
The present study aimed to prepare a composite dressing composed of collagen, chitosan, and alginate, which may promote wound healing and prevent from seawater immersion. Chitosan-collagen-alginate (CCA) cushion was prepared by paintcoat and freeze-drying, and it was attached to a polyurethane to compose CCA composite dressing. The swelling, porosity, degradation, and mechanical properties of CCA cushion were evaluated. The effects on wound healing and seawater prevention of CCA composite dressing were tested by rat wound model. Preliminary biosecurity was tested by cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility. The results revealed that CCA cushion had good water absorption and mechanical properties. A higher wound healing ratio was observed in CCA composite dressing treated rats than in gauze or chitosan treated ones. On the fifth day, the healing rates of CCA composite dressing, gauze, and chitosan were 48.49%±1.07%, 28.02%±6.4%, and 38.97%±8.53%, respectively. More fibroblast and intact re-epithelialization were observed in histological images of CCA composite dressing treated rats, and the expressions of EGF, bFGF, TGF-β, and CD31 increased significantly. CCA composite dressing showed no significant cytotoxicity, and favorable hemocompatibility. These results suggested that CCA composite dressing could prevent against seawater immersion and promote wound healing while having a good biosecurity.

Abstract
The effect of the quaternary ammonium chitin structure on the bactericidal activity and specificity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. Quaternary ammonium chitins were synthesized by the separate acylation of chitin (CT) with carboxymethyl trimethylammonium chloride (CMA), 3-carboxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride (CPA) and N-dodecyl-N,N-(dimethylammonio)butyrate (DDMAB). The successful acylation was confirmed by newly formed ester linkage. All three derivatives had a higher surface charge than chitin due to the additional positively charged quaternary ammonium groups. The N-short alkyl substituent (methyl) of CTCMA and CTCPA increased the hydrophilicity whilst the N-long alkyl substituent (dodecyl) of CTDDMAB increased the hydrophobicity compared to chitin. Chitin did not exhibit any bactericidal activity, while CTCMA and CTCPA completely killed E. coli and S. aureus in 30 and 60min, respectively, and CTDDMAB completely killed S. aureus in 10min but did not kill E. coli after a 2-h exposure. Therefore, the N-short alkyl substituent was more effective for killing E. coli and the N-long alkyl substituent conferred specific bactericidal activity against S. aureus.
