[PMID: 37977472 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128080] [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: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is known for its remarkable properties, such as good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and renewability, in addition to its antibacterial and biological activities. However, as CS is insoluble in water, it displays limited antibacterial performance under neutral and physiological conditions. A viable solution to this problem is grafting chemically modified groups onto the CS framework, thereby increasing its solubility and enhancing its antibacterial effect. Herein, the antibacterial action mechanism of CS and its derivatives is reviewed, confirming the prevalent use of composite materials comprising CS and its derivatives as an antibacterial agent. Generally, the antimicrobial ability of CS-based biomaterials can be enhanced by incorporating supplementary polymers and antimicrobial agents. Research on CS-based composite biomaterials is ongoing and numerous types of biomaterials have been reported, including inorganic nanoparticles, antibacterial agents, and CS derivatives. The development of these composite materials has considerably expanded the application of CS-based antibacterial materials. This study reviews the latest progress in research regarding CS-based composite hydrogels for wound repair, tissue engineering, drug release, water purification, and three-dimensional printing applications. Finally, the summary and future outlook of CS-based antibacterial hydrogels are presented in anticipation of a broader range of applications of CS-based antibacterial hydrogels.

Novel activated carbon from Magonia pubescens bark: characterization and evaluation of adsorption efficiency. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2023:1-46.

Abstract
In this work, the synthesis of activated carbon from the bark of the Magonia pubescens (known as Tingui) and its efficiency in the removal of diclofenac sodium through batch adsorption tests and physical-chemical characterizations were investigated. The phytotoxicity of this material was also evaluated through germination and root growth of Lactuca sativa seeds. According to the experimental design performed for the synthesis of Tingui carbon, the optimized temperature and residence time for the production of this adsorbent were 550 °C and 120 min, respectively. The equilibrium time was reached in 600 minutes and the theoretical model that best fitted the kinetic data was the Elovich model. The BET was the best fit for the adsorption isotherm data.This indicates that the adsorption process of sodium diclofenac by activated carbon can occur by two different mechanisms, monolayer and/or multilayer adsorption, depending on the conditions employed in the process, such as temperature and adsorbate concentration. The thermodynamic study showed that the process was favorable and spontaneous in the temperature range evaluated. Furthermore, the characterizations showed by TG/DTG and FTIR analyses that the temperature throughout the process had a marked impact on the degradation of the organic constituents of the biomass and the appearance of distinct functional groups that contributed to the adsorption process of diclofenac sodium. Finally, the toxicity tests recognized that this adsorbent does not affect the germination of L. sativa species. Thus, this adsorbent may become a novel and viable option to be used in the removal of sodium diclofenac.

Abstract
Different generations of polyamidoamine dendrimers were synthesized on a focal core of magnetic graphene oxide modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. After the characterization of synthesized dendrimers, its second generation was employed as a suitable sorbent for simultaneous separation/preconcentration of diclofenac and acetaminophen by a dispersive magnetic solid phase microextraction. The extracted analytes were then quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection were 0.3 µg/L for diclofenac and 0.1 µg/L for acetaminophen. The intra-day relative standard deviations at 50 μg L-1 levels were 1.8% for diclofenac and 2.1% for acetaminophen, while the inter-day relative standard deviations were 3.6% and 4.5% for diclofenac and acetaminophen, respectively. The calibration graphs were linear in ranges of 1.0-500.0 µg/L and 0.5-600.0 µg/L for diclofenac and acetaminophen, respectively, with good coefficients of determination (r2 > 0.998). The method was successfully applied to the determination of diclofenac and acetaminophen in water, milk, and biological samples.

Abstract
The removal of pharmaceutical contaminants from wastewater has gained considerable attention in recent years, particularly in the advancements of hydrogel-based adsorbents as a green solution for their ease of use, ease of modification, biodegradability, non-toxicity, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. This study focuses on the design of an efficient adsorbent hydrogel based on 1% chitosan, 40% polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG4000), and 4% xanthan gum (referred to as CPX) for the removal of diclofenac sodium (DCF) from water. The interaction between positively charged chitosan and negatively charged xanthan gum and PEG4000 leads to strengthening of the hydrogel structure. The obtained CPX hydrogel, prepared by a green, simple, easy, low-cost, and ecological method, has a higher viscosity due to the three-dimensional polymer network and mechanical stability. The physical, chemical, rheological, and pharmacotechnical parameters of the synthesized hydrogel were determined. Swelling analysis demonstrated that the new synthetized hydrogel is not pH-dependent. The obtained adsorbent hydrogel reached the adsorption capacity (172.41 mg/g) at the highest adsorbent amount (200 mg) after 350 min. In addition, the adsorption kinetics were calculated using a pseudo first-order model and Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm parameters. The results demonstrate that CPX hydrogel can be used as an efficient option to remove DCF as a pharmaceutical contaminant from wastewater.

One-pot synthesis of iron oxide - Gamma irradiated chitosan modified SBA-15 mesoporous silica for effective methylene blue dye removal. Heliyon 2023; 9:e16178. [PMID: 37223700 PMCID: PMC10200858 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e16178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The development of adsorption technology and the processing of radiation have both been influenced by chitosan adsorbent (γ-chitosan), a raw material with unique features. The goal of the current work was to improve the synthesis of Fe-SBA-15 utilizing chitosan that has undergone gamma radiation (Fe-γ-CS-SBA-15) in order to investigate the removal of methylene blue dye in a single hydrothermal procedure. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), High angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), small- and wide-angle X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize γ-CS-SBA-15 that had been exposed to Fe. By using N2-physisorption (BET, BJH), the structure of Fe-γ-CS-SBA-15 was investigated. The study parameters also included the effect of solution pH, adsorbent dose and contact time on the methylene blue adsorption. The elimination efficiency of the methylene blue dye was compiled using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The results of the characterization show that the Fe-γ-CS-SBA-15 has a substantial pore volume of 504 m2 g-1 and a surface area of 0.88 cm3 g-1. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) of the methylene blue is 176.70 mg/g. The γ-CS can make SBA-15 operate better. It proves that the distribution of Fe and chitosan (the C and N components) in SBA-15 channels is uniform.

Abstract
A significant portion of the protein in food waste will contaminate the water. The chitosan/modified β-cyclodextrin (CS/β-CDP) composite membranes were prepared for the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in this work to solve the problem of poor adsorption protein performance and easy disintegration by a pure chitosan membrane. A thorough investigation was conducted into the effects of the preparation conditions (the mass ratio of CS and β-CDP, preparation temperature, and glutaraldehyde addition) and adsorption conditions (temperature and pH) on the created CS/β-CDP composite membrane. The physical and chemical properties of pure CS membrane and CS/β-CDP composite membrane were investigated. The results showed that CS/β-CDP composite membrane has better tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus, contact angle properties, and lower swelling degree. The physicochemical and morphological attributes of composite membranes before and after the adsorption of BSA were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD. The results showed that the CS/β-CDP composite membrane adsorbed BSA by both physical and chemical mechanisms, and the adsorption isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic experiments further confirmed its adsorption mechanism. As a result, the CS/β-CDP composite membrane of absorbing BSA was successfully fabricated, demonstrating the potential application prospect in environmental protection.

Conjugation of folic acid with poly (NVCL-co-PEGMA)-grafted chitosan as a new doxorubicin delivery system. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 236:123933.

Abstract
This paper aimed to investigate the synthesis of a novel drug delivery system (DDS) to target tumors and implement the controlled release of doxorubicin (DOX). Chitosan was modified with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and subjected to graft polymerization to implement grafting with the biocompatible thermosensitive copolymer of poly (NVCL-co-PEGMA). A folate receptor-targeting agent was obtained by attaching folic acid. The DDS loading capacity for DOX via physisorption was obtained to be 846.45 mg/g. The synthesized DDS showed temperature- and pH-sensitive drug release behavior in vitro. A temperature of 37 °C and a pH of 7.4 hindered the DOX release, whereas a temperature of 40 °C and a pH of 5.5 led to DOX release acceleration. In addition, the release of DOX was found to occur in a Fickian diffusion mechanism. The MTT assay tests indicated that the synthesized DDS was not detectably toxic to cell lines of breast cancer, while the toxicity of the DOX-loaded DDS was found to be substantial. The cell absorption enhancement of folic acid led to higher cytotoxicity of the DOX-loaded DDS than bare DOX. As a result, the proposed DDS could be a promising alternative for the targeted therapy of breast cancer through controlled drug release.

Amino-functionalization of lignocellulosic biopolymer to be used as a green and sustainable adsorbent for anionic contaminant removal. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 227:1271-1281.

Abstract
In this work, natural biopolymer stemming from lignocellulosic peanut hull biomass was used as a green and low-cost adsorbent to eliminate anionic Congo red (CR) and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous sample. In order to enhance the removal performance, the lignocellulosic biopolymer was subjected to amino-modification by the graft copolymerization of (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride and N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide. The property of the prepared amino-functionalized biopolymer (AFB) was examined through FTIR, TG, SEM, particle size analysis, zeta potential determination and XPS. The adsorption efficacy of AFB for CR and Cr(VI) was tested at different pH, contact time and initial concentration. The kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamics investigations revealed that the uptakes of CR and Cr(VI) were the combination processes of chemical and physical interactions, and both endothermic in nature. The AFB exhibited good reusability without significant loss in adsorption capacity after five consecutive cycles. Mechanistic analysis indicated that the quaternary ammonium groups in AFB contributed a lot to the binding of anionic compounds through electrostatic attraction. In addition, n-π and hydrogen bonding while reduction and coordination were also responsible for the removal of CR and Cr(VI), respectively. The present study provides a favorable strategy for the removal of anionic contaminates in water by using green and sustainable lignocellulosic wastes.

Abstract
Uncovering the value of waste materials is one of the keys to sustainability. In this current work, valorization of chitosan was pursued to fabricate a novel modified chitosan functional hydrogel using a process-efficient protocol. The fabrication proceeds by a one-pot and single-step C-Mannich condensation of chitosan (3% w/v), glutaraldehyde (20 eq.), and 4-hydroxycoumarin (40 eq.) at 22 °C in 3% v/v acetic acid. The Mannich base modified chitosan hydrogel (CS-MB) exhibits a dual-responsive swelling behavior in response to pH and temperature that has not been observed in any other hydrogel systems. Combining the pre-defined optimal swelling pH (pH = 4) and temperature (T = 22 °C), the CS-MB was screened for its Cu2+ adsorption capacity at this condition. The CS-MB achieved an optimal adsorption capacity of 12.0 mg/g with 1.2 g/L adsorbent dosage after 36 h with agitation. The adsorption of Cu2+ on the surface of CS-MB was verified by EDS, and an overview of the adsorption sites was exhibited by FT-IR. The simply fabricated novel CS-MB hydrogel under investigation presents a unique response to external stimuli that exhibits a promise in heavy metal removal from aqueous media.

Abstract
Due to its wide use in anticonvulsant pharmacotherapy, phenobarbital (PHEN) is an aquatic contaminant with a high prevalence in the environment. In this adsorption study, chitosan and chitosan-based magnetic adsorbents containing different amounts of incorporated magnetite (CS, CS·Fe3O4 1:1, CS·Fe3O4 1:5, and CS·Fe3O4 1:10) were used for phenobarbital removal. The magnetic adsorbents were synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized through FTIR, XRD, MEV, and VSM analysis. In PHEN adsorption, the equilibrium and adsorption kinetic were better adjusted by the Sips and pseudo-second-order model, respectively. Among the four nanoadsorbents used, the maximum phenobarbital adsorption capacity was 94.60 mg g-1 using 25 mg of CS·Fe3O4 1:5, with a concentration of PHEN (50 mg L-1), pH 7.0 at room temperature. The parameters of pH, adsorbent dosage, ionic strength, and thermodynamic study were tested for the adsorbent with the highest performance (CS·Fe3O4 1:5). The nanoadsorbent demonstrates efficiency in the removal of the contaminant for diverse adsorption cycles. Finally, the protocol employing magnetic adsorbents dispenses the subsequent steps of filtration and centrifugation.

Abstract
Rhodococcus is a genus of actinomycetes that has been explored by the scientific community for different purposes, especially for bioremediation uses. However, the mechanisms governing Rhodococcus-mediated bioremediation processes are far from being fully elucidated. In this sense, this work aimed to compile the recent advances in the use of Rhodococcus for the bioremediation of organic and inorganic contaminants present in different environmental compartments. We reviewed the bioremediation capacity and mechanisms of Rhodococcus spp. in the treatment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolic substances, emerging contaminants, heavy metals, and dyes given their human health risks and environmental concern. Different bioremediation techniques were discussed, including experimental conditions, treatment efficiencies, mechanisms, and degradation pathways. The use of Rhodococcus strains in the bioremediation of several compounds is a promising approach due to their features, primarily the presence of appropriate enzyme systems, which result in high decontamination efficiencies; but that vary according to experimental conditions. Besides, the genus Rhodococcus contains a small number of opportunistic species and pathogens, representing an advantage from the point of view of safety. Advances in analytical detection techniques and Molecular Biology have been collaborating to improve the understanding of the mechanisms and pathways involved in bioremediation processes. In the context of using Rhodococcus spp. as bioremediation agents, there is a need for more studies that 1) evaluate the role of these actinomycetes on a pilot and field scale; 2) use genetic engineering tools and consortia with other microorganisms to improve the bioremediation efficiency; and 3) isolate new Rhodococcus strains from environments with extreme and/or contaminated conditions aiming to explore their adaptive capabilities for bioremediation purposes.

Co-construction of molecular-level uranyl-specific "nano-holes" with amidoxime and amino groups on natural bamboo strips for specifically capturing uranium from seawater. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 437:129407. [PMID: 35749900 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Efficiently capturing of uranium (VI) [U(VI)] from seawater elicits unparalleled attraction for sustaining the uplifted requirement for nuclear fuel. However, obtaining the abundant U(VI) resource from seawater has always seriously restricted by competitive adsorption from higher concentrations of competitors, especially vanadium (V) [V(V)]. Herein, based on amidoximized natural bamboo strips with hierarchical porous structure, the molecular-level uranyl-specific "nano-holes" was co-constructed by the intramolecular hydrogen bonds for specifically trapping U(VI) from seawater. Manipulating the branched degrees of amino groups enabled the creation of a series of the molecular-level uranyl-specific "nano-holes" that exhibit ultrahigh affinity and selective adsorption of U(VI) with a adsorption capacity 1.8 fold higher compared to that of V(V) after 30 days floating in the Yellow Sea basin, conquering the long-term challenge of the competitive adsorption of V(V) for amidoxime-based adsorbents applied to extract U(VI) from seawater. The diameter of the molecular-level uranyl-specific "nano-holes" is approximately 12.07 Å, significantly larger than (UO2)3(OH)3+ (10.37 Å) and smaller than HV10O285-, thereby exhibiting specifically trapping of U(VI) in a series of adsorption experiments with different U(VI)-V(V) ratios. Besides, the adsorption model based on the combination of experimental and theoretical results is accompanied by "hydrogen bond breaking and coordination bond formation".

Effects of the Combined Application of Trimethylated Chitosan and Carbodiimide on the Biostability and Antibacterial Activity of Dentin Collagen Matrix. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14153166. [PMID: 35956681 PMCID: PMC9370890 DOI: 10.3390/polym14153166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Revised: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The structural integrity of a dentin matrix that has been demineralized by the clinical use of etchants or calcium-depleting endodontic irrigants, such as endodontic ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), is often deteriorated due to the collagenolytic activities of reactivated endogenous enzymes as well as the infiltration of extrinsic bacteria. Therefore, the biomodification of dentin collagen with improved stability and antibacterial activity holds great promise in conservative dentistry. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the combined application of trimethylated chitosan (TMC) and 1-ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) on the biostability and antibacterial activity of the demineralized dentin collagen matrix. The morphological changes in the collagen matrix were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the amount of TMC adsorbed on the collagen surface was detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the elastic modulus was measured by a three-point bending device. Dry weight loss and amino acid release were detected to evaluate its anti-collagenase degradation performance. The antibacterial performance was detected by confocal microscopy. The TMC-treated group had less collagen space and a more compact collagen arrangement, while the untreated group had a looser collagen arrangement. The combined application of TMC and EDC can increase the elastic modulus, reduce the loss of elastic modulus, and result in good antibacterial performance. The current study proved that a dentin collagen matrix biomodified by TMC and EDC showed improved biodegradation resistance and antibacterial activities.

Fabrication of Polyethyleneimine-Functionalized Magnetic Cellulose Nanocrystals for the Adsorption of Diclofenac Sodium from Aqueous Solutions. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14040720. [PMID: 35215633 PMCID: PMC8880636 DOI: 10.3390/polym14040720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Diclofenac sodium (DS), one of the most used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs worldwide, is often detected in wastewater and natural water. This drug is ecotoxic, even at low concentrations. Therefore, it is essential to fabricate low-cost adsorbents that can easily and effectively remove DS from contaminated water bodies. In this study, a polyethyleneimine (PEI)-modified magnetic cellulose nanocrystal (MCNC) was prepared with a silane coupling agent as a bridge. TEM, FTIR, XRD, and VSM were used to demonstrate the successful preparation of MCNC-PEI. This composite adsorbent exhibited efficient DS removal. Furthermore, the adsorption performance of MCNC-PEI on DS was optimal under mildly acidic conditions (pH = 4.5). Adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption process involves mainly electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the maximum adsorption capacity reached 299.93 mg/g at 25 °C, and the adsorption capacity only decreased by 9.9% after being reused five times. Considering its low cost, low toxicity, and high DS removal capacity, MCNC-PEI could be a promising adsorbent for treating DS-contaminated water.
