The galactomannan-EGCG physical complex: Effect of branching degree and molecular weight on structural and physiological properties. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 343:122447. [PMID: 39174126 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122447] [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: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
Polysaccharides and polyphenols are bioactive components that co-exist in many plant foods. Their binary interaction in terms of the structure-function relationships, however, has not been well clarified. This study elucidated the correlation between the structural and physiological properties of galactomannan (GM) -catechin monomer complexes and GM with different branching or molecular weight (Mw). Results indicated that locus bean gum with lower branching degree (Gal/Man is 0.259) bound more readily to EGCG with adsorption rate of 19.42 %. EGCG and ECG containing galloyl groups were more inclined to form hydrogen bonds with GMs, significantly improving the adsorption by GMs. The introduction of EGCG could enhance the antioxidant activity and starch digestion inhibition of GM, which positively correlated with the adsorption capacity of EGCG. The guar gum (GG) with higher Mw (7384.3 kDa) could transport 71.51 % EGCG into the colon, while the retention rate of EGCG reaching the colon alone was only 46.33 %. Conversely, GM-EGCG complex with lower Mw (6.9 kDa) could be readily utilized by gut microbiota, and increased production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This study elucidated the structure-properties relationship of GM-EGCG complexes, and provide a new idea for the development and precision nutrition of polysaccharides-polyphenol complexes fortified functional foods.

Clicking gallic acid into chitosan prolongs its antioxidant activity and produces intracellular Ca 2+ responses in rat brain cells. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134343.

Abstract
Gallic acid is a vegetable-derived and highly bioactive phenolic acid, but its antioxidant capacity is sensitive to environmental conditions. Chitosan is a biopolymer capable of exerting significant protection to various molecules, including phenolic compounds. A chitosan derivative that extends the antioxidant activity of gallic acid was synthesized by click chemistry and characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and antioxidant capacity assays. Our results show that synthesized polymeric solutions and nanoparticles of N-(gallic acid) chitosan were both internalized by rat brain cells, processes that were modulated by extracellular Ca2+ and Na+. Their internalization was supported by dynamic light scattering and ζ-potential analyses, while Ca2+ imaging recordings performed in brain cells revealed the potential biological effect of N-(gallic acid) chitosan. We conclude that the synthesis of an N-(gallic acid) chitosan derivative through click chemistry is viable and may serve as strategy to prolong its antioxidant activity and to study its biological effects in vivo.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the CNS characterized by continuous myelin damage accompanied by deterioration in functions. Clobetasol propionate (CP) is the most potent topical corticosteroid with serious side effects related to systemic absorption. Previous studies introduced CP for remyelination without considering systemic toxicity. This work aimed at fabrication and optimization of double coated nano-oleosomes loaded with CP to achieve brain targeting through intranasal administration. The optimized formulation was coated with lactoferrin and chitosan for the first time. The obtained double-coated oleosomes had particle size (220.07 ± 0.77 nm), zeta potential (+30.23 ± 0.41 mV) along with antioxidant capacity 9.8 μM ascorbic acid equivalents. Double coating was well visualized by TEM and significantly decreased drug release. Three different doses of CP were assessed in-vivo using cuprizone-induced demyelination in C57Bl/6 mice. Neurobehavioral tests revealed improvement in motor and cognitive functions of mice in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathological examination of the brain showed about 2.3 folds increase in corpus callosum thickness in 0.3 mg/kg CP dose. Moreover, the measured biomarkers highlighted the significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity of the formulation. In conclusion, the elaborated biopolymer-integrating nanocarrier succeeded in remyelination with 6.6 folds reduction in CP dose compared to previous studies.

Abstract
Burns are a prevalent type of injury worldwide, affecting tens of millions of people each year and significantly impacting the physical and psychological well-being of patients. Consequently, prompt treatment of burn wounds is imperative, with oxidative stress and excessive inflammation identified as primary factors contributing to delayed healing. In recent years, there has been growing interest in in situ crosslinked multifunctional hydrogels as a minimally invasive approach for personalized treatment delivery. To address these, a photocrosslinkable methacryloyl hyaluronic acid hydrogel scaffold embedded with chlorogenic acid/carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CGA/CMCS-HAMA, CCH), was developed for the treatment of burn wounds. The hydrogel prepared degraded by over 50 % by day 20, demonstrating stability and meeting the therapeutic requirements for burn wounds. Leveraging the extracellular matrix-like properties of HAMA and the antioxidant capabilities of CGA/CMCS NPs, this hydrogel demonstrates the ability to locally and continuously scavenge ROS and inhibit lipid peroxidation, inhibiting ferroptosis. Moreover, hydrogels well modulate the expression of macrophage- and fibroblast-associated inflammatory factors. Additionally, the hydrogel promotes cell adhesion and migration, further supporting the healing process. Overall, this innovative approach offers a safe and promising solution for burn wound treatment, addressing drug breakthrough and safety concerns while being adaptable to various irregular wound types.

Abstract
Over the years, polysaccharides such as chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, k-carrageenan, xanthan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, pectin, and starch, alone or in combination with proteins and/or synthetic polymers, have been used to engineer an extensive portfolio of hydrogels with remarkable features. The application of polysaccharide-based hydrogels has the potential to alleviate challenges related to bioavailability, solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of phytocompounds, contributing to the development of innovative and efficient drug delivery systems and functional food formulations. This review highlights the current knowledge acquired on the preparation, features and applications of polysaccharide/phytocompounds hydrogel-based hybrid systems in wound management, drug delivery, functional foods, and food industry. The structural, functional, and biological requirements of polysaccharides and phytocompounds on the overall performance of such hybrid systems, and their impact on the application domains are also discussed.

Abstract
Natural polyphenols may have a role in counteracting oxidative stress, which is associated with aging and several bone-related diseases. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound formed by the esterification of caffeic and quininic acids with osteogenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. This review discusses the potential of CGA to enhance osteogenesis by increasing the osteogenic capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblast survival, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization, as well as its ability to attenuate osteoclastogenesis by enhancing osteoclast apoptosis and impeding osteoclast regeneration. CGA can be involved in bone remodeling by acting directly on pro-osteoclasts/osteoblasts or indirectly on osteoclasts by activating the nuclear factor kB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/acting osteoprotegerin (OPG) system. Finally, we provide perspectives for using CGA to treat bone diseases.

Abstract
Bacterial-infected wounds present a significant challenge in the medical field, posing a severe threat to public health. Traditional wound dressings have limited efficacy in treating bacterial-infected wounds, and antibiotics suffer from cytotoxicity and drug resistance. Consequently, an urgent requirement exists for developing multifunctional wound dressings capable of providing superior antimicrobial activity and expediting wound repair. In recent years, chitosan-based natural polysaccharide hydrogels have garnered attention for their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and ability to aid in hemostasis. This study presents the development of a multi-functional, bi-dynamic network hydrogel for the treatment of wounds infected with bacteria. The hydrogel consists of a backbone of chitosan grafted with chlorogenic acid (CA-ECS), oxidized pullulan polysaccharides (OP), and zinc ions (Zn2+). The CA-ECS/OP/Zn2+ hydrogel displayed strong adhesion, good injectability, and high mechanical strength and was biodegradable and biocompatible. Furthermore, adding Zn2+ and CA enhanced the hydrogel's mechanical properties and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In a rat model of full-thickness skin wounds infected with S. aureus, the CA-ECS/OP/Zn2+ hydrogel demonstrated great anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and folliculogenic properties, resulting in accelerated wound healing. The CA-ECS/OP/Zn2+ hydrogel has great potential for treating bacterial-infected wounds.

Abstract
Sweetpotato blades are rich in the functional secondary metabolite chlorogenic acid (CGA), which deepen potential for effective utilization of the blade in industry. In this study, we evaluated the type and content of CGA in the blades of 16 sweetpotato genotypes and analyzed the correlation between CGA content and antioxidant capacity. Then we isolated and characterized IbGLK1, a GARP-type transcription factor, by comparative transcriptome analysis. A subcellular localization assay indicated that IbGLK1 is located in the nucleus. Overexpression and silencing of IbGLK1 in sweetpotato blade resulted in a 0.90-fold increase and 1.84-fold decrease, respectively, in CGA content compared to the control. Yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase assays showed that IbGLK1 binds and activates the promoters of IbHCT, IbHQT, IbC4H, and IbUGCT, resulting in the promotion of CGA biosynthesis. In conclusion, our study provides insights into a high-quality gene for the regulation of CGA metabolism and germplasm resources for breeding sweetpotato.

Abstract
Although iron in meat is an important trace element for human diet, its presence also induces postprandial oxidative stress and aggravates the condition of patients with iron overload. To overcome this situation, a type of new tunable Fe-absorption bioactive materials was constructed in this study. First, four phenolic acids (Caffeic acid, Gallic acid, Protocatechuic acid, Chlorogenic acid) were grafted onto chitosan. Then, the copolymers were prepared into micron-level microspheres by emulsification method, which were characterized in adsorption isotherms (Langmuir model), swelling behavior and digestion characteristics. In order to verify the practical application effect of microspheres, Protocatechuic acid grafted chitosan microspheres as the representative were used in sirloin powder to observe their effects in vitro digestion and rat experiment. In the present study, microspheres were innovatively applied in meat consumption, which significantly inhibited the oxidation of meat in the process of digestion and effectively controlled the iron absorption. These results are expected to play an important role in promoting the healthy consumption of meat around the world, improving gastrointestinal redox status through dietary assistance, and treating diseases related to iron overload.

[PMID: 38479043 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2024.109077] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
In this study, carboxylic acids compounds were grafted onto chitooligosaccharides to prepare seven phenyl/indolyl-acyl chitooligosaccharides derivatives. The structures of the derivatives were characterized by IR spectroscopy, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Meanwhile, antioxidant activities in vitro of the novel derivatives were analyzed. Compared to COS and carboxylic acid, the derivatives showed higher scavenging capacity for superoxide anion and DPPH radicals, with scavenging rates of 59.39% and 94.86%, respectively. The hydroxyl radical scavenging ability of the derivatives was only 18.89%. The antifungal activities of chitooligosaccharide derivatives against Diaporthe batatas and Phytophthora capsici were studied by the growth rate method. Compared with chitooligosaccharide itself, derivatives were inhibited by 97.77% and 100%. The above results showed that chitooligosaccharide derivatives have good biocompatibility and can be used in food, agriculture and medicine.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of grafting chlorogenic acid (CA) on the antioxidant and probiotic activities of curdlan oligosaccharides (CDOS) were investigated. CDOS with degrees of polymerization of 3-6 was first obtained by degradation of curdlan with hydrogen peroxide and then grafted with CA using a free radical-mediated method under an ultrasonication-assisted Fenton system. The thermal stability and antioxidant ability of CDOS were enhanced after grafting with CA. In vitro fermentation, supplementation of CDOS-CA stimulated the proliferation of Prevotella and Faecalibacterium while inhibiting the growth of harmful microbiota. Notably, the concentration of total short-chain fatty acids and the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria markedly increased after fermentation of CDOS-CA, indicating that CA grafting could improve the probiotic activity of CDOS. Overall, the covalent binding of CDOS and CA could enhance the antioxidant and probiotic activities of CDOS, suggesting potential improvements in gastrointestinal and colonic health.

Abstract
Food packaging is innovating towards more environmental-friendly polymers and broader applications of bioactive compounds. In this study, active packaging materials were successfully prepared by incorporating chlorogenic acid (CGA) nanoparticles into pullulan/gelatin polymer matrixes. The rhamnolipid (RL) and/or CGA were combined with chitosan (CS) to synthesize active nanoparticles by the ionic crosslinking method. The film containing CS/RL/CGA nanoparticles (F/CRC) exhibited both ultrahigh visible light (400-760 nm) transmittance (approximately 90%) and UVA (320-400 nm)-blocking efficiency (89.06%). Its fluorescent properties can be used for anti-counterfeiting. Significantly, the bacterial inhibition rates of F/CRC against E. coli and S. aureus were 92.14% and 98.72%. F/CRC also showed good antioxidant capability and biosafety. Finally, the packaging test further indicated that F/CRC could delay the browning of bananas and the bacteria growth of chicken samples. This work presents a green and feasible route to produce functional materials with UV-shielding properties for packaging applications.

Study on the Digestive Behavior of Chlorogenic Acid in Biomimetic Dietary Fiber and the Antioxidative Synergistic Effect of Polysaccharides and Chlorogenic Acid. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:2634-2647.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CA) is often combined with dietary fiber polysaccharides in plant foods, which may affect its digestive behavior and antioxidant activity. This study constructed a biomimetic dietary fiber (BDF) model by combining bacterial cellulose (BC) and pectin with CA and investigated the digestive behavior of CA in BDF. Additionally, the study examined the interaction and synergistic effects of polysaccharides and CA against oxidation. Results showed that BDF and natural dietary fiber had similar microstructures, group properties, and crystallization properties, and polysaccharides in BDF were bound to CA. After simulated gastrointestinal digestion, 41.03% of the CA existed in a conjugated form, and it was possibly influenced by the interaction between polysaccharides and CA. And the release of CA during simulated digestion potentially involved four mechanisms, including the disintegration of polysaccharide-CA complex, the dissolution of pectin, escape from BC-pectin (BCP) network structure, and diffusion release. And polysaccharides and CA may be combined through noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force, or electrostatic interaction force. Meanwhile, polysaccharides-CA combination had a synergistic antioxidant effect by the results of free-radical scavenging experiments, it was probably related to the interaction between polysaccharides and CA. The completion of this work has a positive significance for the development of dietary intervention strategies for oxidative damage.

Abstract
In this study, chlorogenic acid-chitosan (CA-CS) copolymers were prepared with varying Chitosan (CS): chlorogenic acid (CA)ratios and characterized for their water solubility, antioxidant capacity, and emulsions stability. Results showed that CA-CS samples exhibited up to 90.5 % increase in DPPH scavenging efficiency and 20 % increase in hydroxyl radical scavenging efficiency compared to CS alone. CA-CS copolymers used to stabilize oil in water (O/W) emulsions, which were evaluated for their potential in encapsulating and protecting β-carotene. Microscopic observations revealed homogeneous spherical droplets in stable emulsions, suggesting effective interfacial structures. The selected CA-CS-stabilized O/W emulsions demonstrated encapsulation efficiencies of 74.8 % and 75.26 % for β-carotene. The CA-CS stabilized O/W emulsions provided the most effective protection against β-carotene degradation under UV exposure, retaining over 80 % of β-carotene content after 12 h of testing. These findings indicate that CA-CS-based O/W emulsions show promise as carriers and protectors for bioactive compounds, due to their improved antioxidant capacity, emulsions stability, and protection against degradation.

Abstract
Respiratory tract infections are a common cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The current paper aims to treat this respiratory disorder. Therefore, we elucidated the phytochemical profile of Euphorbia milii flowers and isolated chlorogenic acid (CGA) for the first time. The electrospraying technique was utilized to prepare CGA nanoparticles in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/PLGA polymeric matrix. Complete in vitro characterizations were performed to determine particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, loading efficiency (LE), scanning electron microscopy and in vitro release study. The optimum formula (F2) with a particle size (454.36 ± 36.74 nm), a surface charge (-4.56 ± 0.84 mV), % of LE (80.23 ± 5.74), an initial burst (29.46 ± 4.79) and % cumulative release (97.42 ± 4.72) were chosen for further activities. In the murine lung infection model, PVA/PLGA NPs loaded with CGA (F2) demonstrated in vivo antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Using a plaque assay, the in vitro antiviral activity was investigated. The F2 exhibited antiviral activity against coronavirus (HCoV-229E) and (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), NRCEHKU270). The IC50 of F2 against HCoV-229E and MERS-CoV was 170 ± 1.1 and 223 ± 0.88 µg/mL, respectively. The values of IC50 of F2 were significantly lower (p < .05) than that of free CGA. Therefore, the encapsulation of CGA into electrospray PVA/PLGA NPs would be a promising tool as an antimicrobial agent.

Abstract
Continuous oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction caused by hyperglycemia are distinguishing features of diabetic wounds. It has been a great challenge to develop a smart dressing that can accelerate diabetic wound healing through regulating abnormal microenvironments. In this study, a platelet rich plasma (PRP) loaded multifunctional hydrogel with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glucose dual-responsive property is reported. It can be conveniently prepared with PRP, dopamine (DA) grafted alginate (Alg-DA), and 6-aminobenzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-1(3H)-ol (ABO) conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA-ABO) through ionic crosslinks, hydrogen-bond interactions, and boronate ester bonds. The hydrogel possesses injectability, moldability, tissue adhesion, self-healing, low hemolysis, and hemostasis performances. Its excellent antioxidant property can create a low oxidative stress microenvironment for other biological events. Under an oxidative stress and/or hyperglycemia state, the hydrogel can degrade at an accelerated rate to release a variety of cytokines derived from activated blood platelets. The result is a series of positive changes that are favorable for diabetic wound healing, including fast anti-inflammation, activated macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype, promoted migration and proliferation of fibroblasts, as well as expedited angiogenesis. This work provides an efficient strategy for chronic diabetic wound management and offers an alternative for developing a new-type PRP-based bioactive wound dressing.

Abstract
Non-invasive drug delivery offers a safe treatment while improving patient compliance. However, due to the particular physiological structure of the ocular, long-term retention and sustained drug release of the drug delivery system is crucial. Herein, this study aimed to design mPEG-CS-modified flexible liposomes-reinforced thermosensitive sol-gel reversible hydrogels (mPEG-CS-FL-TSG) for the delivery of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) and tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) to treat age-related macular degeneration. In vitro biological properties of mPEG-CS-FL and mPEG-CS-FL-TSG showed that they could be successfully taken up by ARPE-19 cells, and the uptake rate of mPEG-CS-FL-TSG was higher. Not only that, the release rate of mPEG-CS-FL-TSG was slower. More significantly, the results showed that the cytotoxicity of mPEG-CS-FL-TSG was lower than that of mPEG-CS-FL. In vivo result revealed that the drug delivery system could prominently enhance the ocular bioavailability of AS-IV and TMP, which is the enhanced synergism of well-permeable liposome and slow-releasing hydrogel. In summary, the mPEG-CS-FL-TSG can compensate for the short retention time and sudden release of liposome, as well as the low drug penetration of hydrogel, in order to show great promise in the non-invasive delivery of multiple drugs for the treatment of posterior ocular diseases.

Abstract
Polyphenols and polysaccharides are very important natural products with special physicochemical properties and extensive biological activities. Recently, polyphenol-polysaccharide conjugates have been synthesized to overcome the limitations of polysaccharides and broaden their application range. Grafted copolymers are produced through chemical coupling, enzyme-mediated, and free radical-mediated methods, among which the free radical-induced grafting reaction is the most cost-effective, ecofriendly, safe, and plausible approach. Here, we review the grafting reactions of polysaccharides mediated by free radicals with various bioactive polyphenols, such as gallic acid (GA), ferulic acid (FA), and catechins. A detailed introduction of the methods and their mechanisms for free radical-mediated grafting is given. Structural characterization methods of the graft products, including thin-layer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are introduced. Furthermore, the biological properties of polyphenol-polysaccharide conjugates are also presented, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiabetic, and neuroprotection activities, etc. Moreover, the potential applications of polyphenol-polysaccharide conjugates are described. Finally, the challenges and research prospects of graft products are summarized.

Abstract
In this study, nine chitosan derivatives containing aromatic five-membered heterocycles were prepared and the effects of different grafting methods on the biological activities of chitosan derivatives were investigated. The structures of all the compounds were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, while the antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial activities of the chitosan derivatives were tested. The experimental data suggested that the chitosan derivatives had outstanding inhibitory ability against Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cucumbrum, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. At the same time, some of the compounds showed strong scavenging ability against DPPH radical and superoxide radical. Cytotoxicity experiments have demonstrated that some chitosan derivatives are non-toxic to L929 cells. More importantly, compared to chitosan, these chitosan derivatives have good water solubility and can be used as potential polymers for antifungal and antibacterial biomaterials in agriculture.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS), a bio-renewable natural material, has the potential to be utilized as a biopolymer for food packaging films (PFs)/coatings. However, its low solubility in dilute acid solutions and poor antioxidant and antimicrobial activities limit its application in PFs/coatings. To address these restrictions, chemical modification of CS has garnered increasing interest, with graft copolymerization being the most extensively used method. Phenolic acids (PAs) as natural small molecules are used as excellent candidates for CS grafting. This work focuses on the progress of CS grafted PA (CS-g-PA) based films, introducing the chemistry and methods of preparing CS-g-PA, particularly the effects of different PAs grafting on the properties of CS films. In addition, this work discusses the application of different CS-g-PA functionalized PFs/coatings for food preservation. It is concluded that the food preservation capability of CS-based films/coatings can be improved by modifying the properties of CS-based films through PA grafting.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based hydrogel adsorbents become popular because of their high adsorption capacity and fast adsorption rate, but their low removal rate and poor pH resistance have always been fatal shortcomings. Herein, a feasible strategy was proposed to strengthen the ability of hydrogel adsorbent to remove organic pollutants (i.e., dye) by incorporating natural rectorite (REC) into chitosan-g-poly (2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propane-sulfonic-acid) hydrogel network to form a rectorite-in-polymer network structure. The introduction of less dosage of REC (1.2 wt%) into the hydrogel facilitates to improve its adsorption capacities toward methylene blue (MB) in deionized water, tap water, seawater, Yangtze River water, and Yellow River water (1083.39-1303.49 mg/g); while incorporating higher content of REC (15.8 wt% REC) helps to improve the removal rate (99.6 % for MB in real waters), which are greatly superior to commercial activated carbons. The adsorbent keeps high adsorption efficiency in a broad pH range (2-11), and can be reused for >4 times.

Abstract
As a highly crystalline and renewable natural polymer nanomaterial, chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) have attracted intense interest in the biomedical field. The structure of a ChNC is composed of an acetylglucosamine unit containing two hydroxyl groups and an acetyl group. The acetyl group can be converted to the active amino group through deacetylation, which is under the condition of maintaining the rod-like morphology and high crystalline property and is beneficial for the following modification and potential application. We investigated the relationship between different treatments and varied crystallinities of the modified ChNC, which obtained surface amino groups and aldehyde groups and retained high crystallinity. The natural biomolecules were covalently immobilized on the surface of the ChNC. The etherification was performed based on the hydroxyl groups. Based on the amino groups and the aldehyde groups, the carboxyamine and Knoevenagel condensation reactions were realized on ChNCs. Finally, natural biomolecule-modified ChNCs showed no or low cytotoxicity, antibacterial properties, and high antioxidant properties, which extended their potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Lonicera flos and Cnicus japonicus extracts (LCE) on the laying performance, egg quality, morphology, antioxidant status, inflammatory-related cytokines, and shell matrix protein expression of oviduct in laying hens. A total of 1,728 Roman Pink laying hens aged 73-wk-old were randomly assigned into 4 groups (18 replicates/group, 24 layers/replicate) fed basal diets supplemented with 0, 300, 500, and 1,000 mg of LCE per kg of diet, respectively. The trial lasted for 11 wk, including 2-wk adjustment period and 9-wk testing period. The results indicated that laying hens fed diets supplemented with LCE linearly increased egg weight, yolk color and shell thickness at wk 78 and albumen height, Haugh unit and shell thickness at wk 83 (P < 0.05). At wk 78, LCE groups linearly affected the hydrogen peroxide content in magnum (P < 0.05) and 300 mg/kg LCE groups had the highest catalase activity in isthmus (P < 0.05). At wk 83, LCE groups linearly reduced (P < 0.05) hydrogen peroxide content in the magnum and isthmus and malondialdehyde content in the uterus whereas increased catalase activity in isthmus (P < 0.05). Furthermore, LCE levels quadratically affected glutathione peroxidase activity in isthmus at wk 83 (P < 0.05). At wk 78, the mRNA expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase and interferon-γ in isthmus and ovalbumin and ovocleidin-116 in uterus had linear effects in response to LCE levels (P < 0.05) and 1,000 mg/kg LCE group had the lowest mRNA expression of interleukin-6 in magnum (P < 0.05). At wk 83, LCE supplementation linearly decreased the mRNA expression of interleukin-1β, interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α in magnum and tumor necrosis factor-α and inducible nitric oxide synthase in uterus (P < 0.05). It is concluded that LCE improved egg quality partly by modulating antioxidant status, inflammatory-related cytokines and shell matrix protein expression of oviduct in laying hens.

Abstract
Sorbic acid-loaded chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (SANs) have previously been shown to exert both antibacterial and antioxidant effects on Chinese sausage. In this study, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of SANs against two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were determined. The blank control group (BC) served as the negative control, while the chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (CTNs) group and free sorbic acid (SA) group served as the positive controls. Tests conducted under five different pH conditions (5/6/7/8/9) revealed that the SANs exhibited a good bacteriostatic effect against P. aeruginosa. Variations in the metabolism, cell membrane or cell wall integrity, and morphology of P. aeruginosa were measured to evaluate the effects of SANs on their intracellular and extracellular components. The MIC of SANs for the two P. aeruginosa strains was determined to be 150 μg/mL. SANs delayed the growth of P. aeruginosa and severely damaged both its inner and outer cell membranes. The heteromorphism of the bacteria as observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), verified the aforementioned results. The results showed SANs could effectively inhibit the growth of P. aeruginosa and exert antibacterial ability in a wider range of acid-base environments. This study broadens the application of SANs in food processing and provides experimental basis.

Abstract
Mastitis is an inflammatory disease caused by microbial infection. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), one of the major phenolic acids in Taraxacum officinale, has natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in various cell types; however, the effects of CGA on Lipoteichoic acid (LTA)-induced bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) have not been investigated. In this study, the CGA content in T. officinale was determined by High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). BMECs were infected with LTA to induce the mastitis model. Different concentrations of CGA were administered after establishing the LTA infection. The results showed that the T. officinale contained CGA 1.36 mg/g. CGA significantly reduced the pro-inflammatory gene and protein expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. In addition, CGA downregulated the NO, TLR2, and NF-κB signaling pathways in LTA-infected bovine mammary epithelial cells. Our results indicate that CGA reduced the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and TLR2 by inhibiting the phosphorylation of proteins in the NF-κB signaling pathways in a dose-dependent manner. This finding suggests that CGA may be a potential agent for the treatment of mastitis in dairy cows.

Abstract
In this study, caffeic acid (CA) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) were incorporated onto chitosan (CS) using free radical grafting initiated by a hydrogen peroxide/ascorbic acid (H2O2/Vc) redox system. The structural properties of the CA (CA-g-CS) and CGA (CGA-g-CS) derivatives were characterized by UV-Vis absorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and thermal stability analysis. Then, the antioxidant and antibacterial properties were evaluated, and the effect of CGA-g-CS on the postharvest quality of Saimaiti apricot was studied. It proved that phenolic acids were successfully grafted onto the CS. The grafting ratios of CA-g-CS and CGA-g-CS were 126.21 mg CAE/g and 148.94 mg CGAE/g. The antioxidation and antibacterial activities of CGA-g-CS were better than those of CA-g-CS. The MICs of CGA-g-CS against E. coli, S. aureus, and B. subtilis were 2, 1, and 2 mg/mL. The inhibitory zones of 20 mg/mL CGA-g-CS against the three bacteria were 19.16 ± 0.35, 16.33 ± 0.91, and 16.24 ± 0.05 mm. The inhibitory effects of 0.5% CGA-g-CS on the firmness, weight loss, SSC, TA, relative conductivity, and respiration rate of the apricot were superior. Our results suggest that CGA-g-CS can be potentially used as an edible coating material to preserve apricots.

Abstract
In this study, chitosan (CS) with different molecular weights was functionalized with protocatechuic acid (PA) by free-radical grafting reaction, and used for the inhibition of lipid oxidation and the enhancement of stability of β-carotene in Pickering emulsions. The order of grafting ratio of PA in CS-PA conjugates was CS400 (400 kDa CS) > CS200 (200 kDa CS) > CS100 (100 kDa CS). UV-vis, FT-IR and 1H NMR spectra proved that PA was covalently bonded to CS through amino and ester linkages. Compared with native CS, three CS-PA conjugates exhibited reduced crystallinity and thermal stability and improved antioxidant activity, with a molecular weight-dependent relationship. Besides, CS-PA-conjugate particles formed by ionic gelling procedure were spherically shaped and homogeneously dispersed, which substantially improved the stability of β-carotene in Pickering emulsions than CS particles under ultraviolet irradiation, natural light exposure and heat treatment, and the retention rates of β-carotene were in the following order: CS200-PA- > CS400-PA- > CS100-PA-conjugate particles. Furthermore, the oxidation stability of Pickering emulsions fabricated by CS-PA-conjugate particles was also higher than that of CS particles. These results will provide valuable information for the application of CS-PA conjugates to protect bioactive components and inhibit lipid oxidation in emulsion systems.

[PMID: 36235952 PMCID: PMC9571213 DOI: 10.3390/polym14194004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study evaluates the use of thiolized chitosan conjugates (CS) in combination with two fundamental carbon nanoforms (carbon dots (CDs) and Hierarchical Porous Carbons (HPC)) for the preparation of intranasally (IN) administrated galantamine (GAL) nanoparticles (NPs). Initially, the modification of CS with L-cysteine (Cys) was performed, and the successful formation of a Cys-CS conjugates was verified via 1H-NMR, FTIR, and pXRD. The new Cys-CS conjugate showed a significant solubility enhancement in neutral and alkaline pH, improving CS’s utility as a matrix-carrier for IN drug administration. In a further step, drug-loaded NPs were prepared via solid-oil–water double emulsification, and thoroughly analyzed by SEM, DLS, FTIR and pXRD. The results showed the formation of spherical NPs with a smooth surface, while the drug was amorphously dispersed within most of the prepared NPs, with the exemption of those systems contianing the CDs. Finally, in vitro dissolution release studies revealed that the prepared NPs could prolong GAL’s release for up to 12 days. In sum, regarding the most promising system, the results of the present study clearly suggest that the preparation of NPs using both Cys-CS and CDs results in a more thermodynamically stable drug dispersion, while a zero-order release profile was achieved, which is essential to attain a stable in vivo pharmacokinetic behavior.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) derivatives with improved water solubility, antibacterial activity and adequate biocompatibility are attracting increasingly interest in medical application. Herein, we have successfully synthesized isocyanate terminated quaternary ammonium salt (IQAS) and sulfopropylbetaine (ISB) to be readily covalently bounded to CS skeleton by selective reaction with amino and hydroxyl groups. And their molecular structures and crystallinity were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray diffraction. The effect of the substitution degree, carbon chain length, content ratio of IQAS/ISB on their water solubility, antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity were systematically investigated, which shows that those properties of the CS derivatives can be tailored by adjusting the grafted antibacterial agents and their additive amount. The structure-property relationship of these CS derivatives may provide a solid guidance on the development of CS derivatives for more efficient practical applications.

Abstract
Chitosan is very attractive in the food industry due to its good biocompatibility and high biodegradability. In particular, it can be used as a preferred material for the fabrication of stabilizers in emulsion-based foods. However, poor solubility and antioxidant activity limit its wide application. The functionality of chitosan can be extended by forming chitosan-based conjugates, which can be used to modulate the characteristics of the oil-water interface, thereby improving the stability and performance of the o/w emulsions. This review highlights the recent progress of chitosan-based conjugates, focusing on the classification, formation mechanism and functional properties, and the applications of these conjugates in o/w emulsions are summarized. Lastly, the promising research trends and challenges of chitosan-based conjugates and their emulsion systems in this field are also discussed. This review will provide a theoretical basis for the wide application of chitosan-based conjugates in emulsion systems.

Abstract
Anthocyanins (ACNs) have attracted considerable research attention because of their excellent health benefits, but their low stability and bioavailability limit their applications. In this study, sinapic acid-grafted-chitosan (SA-g-CS) conjugate was synthesized by grafting SA onto CS via a free radical mediated method. Nanoparticles were prepared using casein (CA) together with SA-g-CS to improve the performance and sustained release of black rice anthocyanins (BRA). The results of UV-Vis, FTIR and 1H NMR spectra for SA-g-CS conjugates demonstrated the successful grafting of SA onto CS. The results of DPPH, ABTS and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power assays showed that the SA-g-CS conjugates had strong antioxidant capacities, and the higher the pH of the grafting reaction system, the stronger the antioxidant capacity of the conjugates. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that the crystallographic property and microstructure of CS were improved by the grafting of SA. Compared with BRA loaded nanoparticles prepared with CA alone or the combination of CS and CA, the BRA loaded nanoparticles constructed by SA-g-CS and CA have smaller particle size, better dispersion, encapsulation efficiency and sustained-release property. These results provided great potential for the application of phenolic acid grafted CS in stabilizing ACNs.

Dominant hydrophobic interactions with β-glucan in nanoarchitectonics with mixed Langmuir monolayers of cholesterol/dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline. Biointerphases 2022; 17:031005.

Abstract
The polysaccharide β-glucan, found in the cell wall of cereals such as wheat, oats, and barley, is believed to lower the concentration of bad cholesterol in humans, but the molecular-level mechanisms responsible for such an action are unknown. In this study, we use Langmuir monolayers of cholesterol and dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) as cell membrane models that are made to interact with β-glucan. Neat cholesterol and mixed cholesterol/DPPC monolayers were expanded upon incorporating β-glucan from the aqueous subphase. This incorporation was found to induce ordering in mixed monolayers and dehydration of the carbonyl group at higher cholesterol concentrations. These effects are attributed to hydrophobic interactions as identified with polarization-modulated infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy. They correlate well with the hypothesis that cholesterol levels can be lowered by the formation of soluble fibers with β-glucan through hydrophobic interactions, blocking cholesterol absorption by the organism.

Abstract
As a polyphenolic compound, chlorogenic acid has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-obesity and other effects. Based on the interactions between chlorogenic acid and the proteins (human serum albumin (HSA), pepsin (Pep), trypsin (Try), fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO)), results will provide clues for screening effective inhibitors. The interaction between chlorogenic acid and the four proteins (HSA, Pep, Try, FTO) was analyzed by the aid of fluorescence quenching, synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking. It can be concluded that there is no obvious interaction between chlorogenic acid and FTO. The binding affinity between chlorogenic acid and three proteins is HSA > Try > Pep. The binding process is spontaneous, and the quenching type is static quenching. Hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bonding is observed in the binding process. This study provides valuable information for understanding the interaction mechanism between chlorogenic acid and proteins, and provides clues for screening inhibitors.

Pharmacological studies of rhizomes of extract of Cyperus tegetum, emphasized on anticancer, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 289:115035.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE With over 950 species, Cyperus is one of the most promising health boosting genera in the Cyperaceae family. Traditional uses of Cyperus sp. have been described for gastrointestinal blood abnormalities, menstrual irregularities, and inflammatory diseases, among others. Cyperus tegetum Roxb belonging to Cyperaceae family, is used in traditional medicine to treat skin cancers. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study was carried out to explore the potential effect of the extract of the plant Cyperus tegetum against different pharmacological activity namely inflammatory, analgesic activity as well as skin cancer activity in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytotoxicity of the extract was measured by MTT and Live/death assay on HeLa cell line. Skin cancer was induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in mice to measure its effects. RESULT Stigmasterol and some poly phenolic compounds are identified using HPTLC process from the methanol extract of the rhizome of the plant Cyperus tegetum (CT-II). After confirmation of the presence of different polyphenolic compound and triterpenoids in the extract, it was subject to MTT and Live/death assay on HeLa cell line. From the observation it could be concluded that the IC50 of the extract is 300 μg/ml. Thus, the CTII was evaluated further for its in vivo anticancer property. In the tumorigenesis study, the number of tumor growths, the area and weight of the tumor significantly decreases with increment in the dose of CT-II extract and some elevated enzyme release in renal (creatinine, urea) as well as hepatic (AST, ALT, ALP) enzymes are also controlled with the increased dose of the same extract. The elevated enzyme release may be due to cancer induced rupture of the plasma and cellular damage. This CT-II extract also exhibits some other pharmacological activity like anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity. CONCLUSION As metabolic activation via carcinogens and inflammation response plays important role in development of cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties can be correlated with anti-cancer properties. Taken all the above studies, it was illustrated that the extract of Cyperus tegetum might be a promising compound to reduce skin cancer risk.

Abstract
Chitosan is a rather attractive material, especially because of its bio-origins as well as generation from exoskeletal waste. As the mantle has been effectively transferred from chitin to chitosan, so has it been extrapolated to in-house synthesized novel chitosan derivatives. This review comprehensively lists the available novel chitosan derivatives (ChDs) and summarizes their biological applications. The fact that chitosan derivatives do comprise multifaceted biological applications is attested by the voluminous reports on their varied contributions. However, this review points out to the fact that there has been selective focus on bio functions such as antifungal, antioxidant, antibacterial, whereas other biomedical applications and antiviral applications remain relatively less explored. With their current functionality record, there is definitely no doubt that the plethora of synthesized ChDs will have a profound impact on the unexplored biological aspects. This review points out this lacuna as room for future exploration.

Abstract
Every day, new cases of cancer patients whose recovery is delayed by multidrug resistance and chemotherapy side effects are identified, which severely limit treatment options. One of the most recent advances in nanotechnology is the effective usage of nanotechnology as drug carriers for cancer therapy. As a consequence, heterocyclic nanocarriers were put into practice to see whether they could have a better cure with positive results. The potential of a therapeutic agent to meet its desired goal is vital to its success in treating any disease. Heterocyclic moieties are molecules that have a wide variety of chemically therapeutic functions as well as a significant biological activity profile. Heterocyclic nano formulations play an important role in cell physiology and as possible arbitrators for typical biological reactions, making them valuable in cancer research. As a result, experts are working with heterocyclic nanoformulations to discover alternative approaches to treat cancer. Due to their unique physicochemical properties, heterocyclic compounds are real cornerstones in medicinal chemistry and promising compounds for the future drug delivery system. This review briefly explores the therapeutic relevance of heterocyclic compounds in cancer treatment, the various nanoformulations, and actively describes heterocyclic magnetic nano catalysts and heterocyclic moiety, as well as their mode of action, which have favorable anti - cancer effects.

Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 11:798052.

Abstract
Colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease, is characterized by bloody diarrhea and inflammation in the colon. Lonicera hypoglauca (“Shanyinhua” in Chinese) and Scutellaria baicalensis (“Huangqin” in Chinese) are two traditional Chinese medicinal plants rich in polyphenols, such as chlorogenic acid (CGA) and baicalin (BA), with the effects of anti-inflammation and antioxidation. However, it remains unknown whether extracts from L. hypoglauca and S. baicalensis (LSEs) could mitigate colonic inflammation. In the present study, ICR mice (22.23 ± 1.65 g) were allocated to three groups treated with chow diet without (CON) or with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) (CON+DSS) in water or LSE supplementation in diet with DSS (LSE+DSS), and then inflammatory and oxidative parameters and colonic microbiota were detected. The results showed that LSE (500 mg/kg) treatment mitigated DSS-induced colitis symptoms and restored the shortened colon length, the increased disease activity index (DAI), and the damaged intestinal barrier. In serum, LSE supplementation significantly decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and increased IL-10 level. Meanwhile, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were increased, and malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were decreased. In the colon tissue, qPCR results showed that LSE supplementation dramatically downregulated the transcriptional expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MDA and upregulated the expression of SOD1, CAT, and IL-10. Additionally, the damaged gut barriers occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in the CON+DSS group were enhanced with LSE supplementation. Furthermore, LSE treatment regulated the gut microbial communities with higher relative abundance of Dubosiella and Ruminococcus torques group and lower relative abundance of Bacteroides and Turicibacter. Moreover, the contents of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as products of gut microbiota were also increased. Correlation analysis showed that the mRNA expression of SOD1 was negatively correlated with TNF-α (r = -0.900, P < 0.05); the mRNA expression of IL-6 (r = -0.779, P < 0.05) and TNF-α (r = -0.703, P < 0.05) had a dramatically negative correlation with Dubosiella. In conclusion, LSE supplementation could effectively ameliorate inflammation by modulating oxidative stress and gut microbiota in a colitis mouse model.

Caffeic Acid Supplement Alleviates Colonic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Potentially Through Improved Gut Microbiota Community in Mice. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:784211. [PMID: 34867926 PMCID: PMC8636926 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.784211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Caffeic acid (CA) is one of the major phenolic acids of coffee with multiple biological activities. Our previous study found that 500 mg/kg of chlorogenic acid (CGA) had the potential capacity of alleviating colonic inflammation. Moreover, CGA can be degraded into caffeic acid (CA) by the gut microbiota in the colon. Therefore, we hypothesize that CA can exert protective effects on colonic inflammation. To test the hypothesis, 251 mg/kg CA was supplemented to DSS-induced colitis mice. The results showed that CA treatment recovered DSS-induced disease activity index (DAI), colon length, and histopathology scores of colon tissue. Additionally, CA treatment significantly decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increased the level of IL-10, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT) in serum. qPCR results indicated that CA treatment dramatically downregulated mRNA expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α as well as upregulated SOD1, GPX1, GPX2, CAT, and IL-10. In addition, CA supplementation significantly increased mRNA expression of Nrf-2, HO-1, and NQO1, which showed its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities potentially by activating the Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway. Moreover, CA supplementation prevented gut barrier damage by enhancing Occludin gene expression. Furthermore, CA supplementation altered the gut microbiome composition by decreasing the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Turicibacter, and enhancing the relative abundance of Alistipes and Dubosiella. Meanwhile, CA supplementation increases the abundance of Dubosiella and Akkermansia. In conclusion, CA supplementation could effectively alleviate DSS-induced colitis by improving the defense against oxidative stress and inflammatory response.

Abstract
The structural evolution of lotus starch (LS)-chlorogenic acid (CA) complexes was investigated after microwave-heating treatment, to reveal the relationship between the interactions of lotus starch and chlorogenic acid molecules, and the digestive properties of the starch, after microwave gelatinization. During the early stage of microwave gelatinization (65, 70 °C), CA was mainly participating in the rearrangement of starch molecules in a weakly-bound form, and at that stage, the LS-CA complex acted as an inhibitor of digestion, under small intestine conditions, mainly through the release of CA, which inhibited amylase. However, during the late stage of microwave gelatinization (85 °C), many chlorogenic acid molecules entered the hydrophobic helical cavity of the starch, promoting formation of the V-type starch helical structure in the LS-CA complex, which made a major contribution to inhibiting digestion under oral digestion conditions.

Abstract
Lotus seed (LS) has a high starch content and possesses many useful functional properties, which are mainly attributed to its phenolic compound content. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of microwave irradiation (MW) treatment on the structural and physicochemical properties of a lotus seed starch-chlorogenic acid (CA) blend. MW treatment appeared to promote the formation of LS-CA complexes and the modified starch displayed more rougher structures than native starch. The particle size distribution of starch remained approximately constant when the microwave power was 200 W, but increased sharply with further increases in microwave power; a similar trend was observed in the swelling and solubility of starch. XRD and FT-IR spectra show that MW treatment degraded the ordered crystalline structure of starch, facilitating exposure of the starch chains originally buried in the crystalline and amorphous regions within the grains. During this treatment, CA interacted with starch molecules by hydrogen bonding and form a LS-CA complex, which inhibited the self-assembly process of starch chains. These findings demonstrated the potential use of MW treatment in controlling the storage and processing quality of lotus seed, or other starchy foods rich in polyphenols.

Abstract
In this study, cinnamic acid (CA) conjugated hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS) derivatives (HPCS-CA) with different degrees of substitution (DS) were successfully synthesized. The reaction was divided into two steps: the first step was to modify chitosan (CS) to HPCS, and the second step was to graft CA onto HPCS. Structural characterization and properties were carried out employing elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The solubility test revealed the better water solubility of derivatives than CS. In addition, in vitro antibacterial and antibiofilm tests were performed. As expected, HPCS-CA derivatives exhibited good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The MIC and MBC of HPCS-CA derivatives could reach 256 μg/mL and 512 μg/mL, respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) analysis proved the inhibitory effect of HPCS-CA derivatives on S. aureus and E. coli biofilms by disrupting the formation of biofilms, reducing the thickness of biofilms, and the number of live bacteria. These results suggest the potential applicability of HPCS-CA derivatives in the treatment of biofilm-associated infections and provide a practical strategy for the design of novel CS-based antibacterial materials.

Evaluation of the Thermal and Morphological Properties of γ-Irradiated Chitosan-Glycerol-Based Polymeric Films. Processes (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
Industry-sponsored research has intensified to find suitable substitutes for synthetic polymers. For this purpose, biopolymers are promising materials that are extracted from renewable resources. However, there are areas of concern (biopolymers are mostly brittle in the dry state) that require further research before they are used in advanced applications. To overcome this, plasticizers are often added to biopolymers to enhance their physicochemical properties. In this study, chitosan (CH)-glycerol (GL)-based polymeric films were prepared by a simple drop-casting technique, and the influence of a plasticizer (GL) on the properties of chitosan films was analyzed. Additionally, the as-prepared samples were irradiated with γ-rays (60Co γ rays with a dose of 102 kGy) to study the effect of γ-irradiation on the properties of polymeric composites. To achieve this, different samples were prepared by varying the amount of GL. FT-IR analysis revealed the interruption of hydrogen bonding in chitosan by the incorporation of GL. This led to the chain-spreading of CH, which ultimately increased the flexibility of the composite films (CH-GL). The DSC of the CH film showed two peaks: one endothermic peak below 100 °C (due to water vapor) and a second exothermic peak that appeared between 130 and 360 °C (degradation of the amino group). Plasticization of CH films with GL was confirmed by DSC, where the exothermic degradation was converted into an endothermic peak. Depending upon the amount of GL, γ-irradiation considerably affected the chemical structure of CH by breaking the carbohydrate and pyranose rings; this led to a decrease in the crystallinity of the composite films. The changes studied in the DSC and TGA analysis complemented each other. γ-irradiation also affected the morphology of the films, which changed from smooth and homogeneous to roasted structures, with random swelling on the surface of the films. This swelling reflected the degradation of the surfaces into thin layers. Considering the changes that occurred in the films post-γ-irradiation, it can be inferred that the irradiation dose of 102 kGy is sufficient to degrade as-prepared biopolymer composites.
