Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharides are biopolymers with a wide range of potential applications in various fields. This biopolymer is diverse and promising, and current research is investigating its capabilities for improved drug delivery. As chitosan oligosaccharide has the potential to be used as a drug delivery option, the purpose of this study was to examine its physicochemical characteristics and its potential for drug delivery. In this study, the pharmacokinetic properties of chitosan oligosaccharide were studied through Insilco investigation, which revealed that it is an extremely soluble and effective drug delivery candidate because it does not inhibit CYP isoenzymes and has a log Kp of -12.10 cm/s. It belongs to toxicity class 6 for acute oral toxicity, with an average similarity of 87.5% and a prediction accuracy of 70.97%. Additionally, XRD peak analysis revealed that the material was amorphous, as the peak appeared at 2θ = 24.62°, indicating the absence of well-defined crystalline areas. This characteristic makes the material more suitable for customization in many applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. FTIR, SEM, and TGA analysis were performed to gain a better understanding. These findings also emphasize the distinctive qualities and benefits of the oligosaccharides in this domain. Application of chitosan oligosaccharides in the development of efficient drug delivery systems. In the future, it would be more effective, targeted, and safe, with potent therapeutic efficacy for drug delivery.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 314:120955. [PMID: 37173050 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is an important carbohydrate-based biomaterial for synthesizing candidate drugs and biological agents. This study synthesized COS derivatives by grafting acyl chlorides of different alkyl chain lengths (C8, C10, and C12) onto COS molecules and further investigated their physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. The COS acylated derivatives were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. COS acylated derivatives were successfully synthesized and possessed high solubility and thermal stability. As for the evaluation of antibacterial activity, COS acylated derivatives did not significantly inhibit Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, but they significantly inhibited Fusarium oxysporum, which was superior to that of COS. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that COS acylated derivatives exerted antifungal activity mainly by downregulating the expression of efflux pumps, disrupting cell wall integrity, and impeding normal cell metabolism. Our findings provided a fundamental theory for the development of environmentally friendly antifungal agents.

Abstract
Two novel chitosan oligosaccharide (COS)-hydroxypyridone (HPO) conjugates were prepared by reacting chitosan oligosaccharide with 2-chloromethyl-5-hydroxypyridone (HPO), which was synthesized by a series of reactions starting from kojic acid. The degree of substitution of COS-HPO2 reached 1.2, with a yield of 74.9%. The structure of the two conjugates (COS-HPO1 and COS-HPO2) was identified by NMR and FT-IR analysis. The two conjugates showed significantly higher free radical (DPPH•, ABTS+• and •OH) scavenging activity and reducing power than those of COS and HPO (p < 0.05). Both COS-HPO1 and COS-HPO2 possessed significantly stronger tyrosinase inhibitory activity than those of COS, with IC50 values of 0.67 and 0.28 mg/mL for monophenolase, 0.73 and 0.30 mg/mL for diphenolase, respectively. In addition, the conjugates were found to be non-toxic to RAW264.7 macrophages and MRC-5 human lung cells. This work proposes a facile method to enhance the oxidative and tyrosinase inhibitory properties of COS.

Abstract
By modifying chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) with the Eschweiler-Clarke reaction, the chitosan oligosaccharide derivative DMCOS was synthesized. FT-IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectra, MALDI-ToF MS, and elemental analysis were applied to analyze the structure of DMCOS, which revealed that the primary amines were converted into tertiary amines after methylation. DMCOS displayed less thermal stability than COS. In comparison to COS, it was discovered that DMCOS possessed more potent antimicrobial activity against four bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and three yeast strains (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis). The antioxidant studies indicated that DMCOS had less antioxidant activity than COS. Consequently, ROS level elevated in C. albicans cells following treatment with DMCOS, which decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. It was recalled that DMCOS may kill C. albicans by causing mitochondrial damage. In addition, DMCOS was demonstrated to be non-cytotoxic.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides are a kind of natural polysaccharides which isolated and extracted from marine organisms. Now some marine polysaccharides, such as chitosan, sodium alginate and agar, have been proven to exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant functions and biocompatibility, which are often used to preserve food or improve the physicochemical properties of food. However, they still have the defects of unsatisfactory preservation effect and biological activity, which can be remedied by its modification. Chemical modification is the most effective of all modification methods. The advances in common chemical modification methods of chitosan, sodium alginate, agar and other marine polysaccharides and research progress of modified products in food processing and preservation were summarized, and the influence of additional reaction conditions on the existence of chemical modification sites of polysaccharides was discussed. The modification of functional groups in natural marine polysaccharides leads to the change of molecular structure, which can improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of marine polysaccharides. Chemically modified products have been used in various fields of food applications, such as food preservatives, food additives, food packaging, and food processing aids. In general, chemical modification has excellent potential for food processing and preservation, which can improve the function of marine polysaccharides.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to improve the antibacterial activities of chitosan via N-alkyl substitution using 1-bromohexadecane. Mono and di substitution (Mono-NHD-Ch and Di-NHD-Ch) were prepared and characterized using FT-IR, HNMR, TGA, DSC, and SEM. Elemental analysis shows an increase in the C/N ratio from 5.45 for chitosan to 8.63 for Mono-NHD-Ch and 10.46 for Di-NHD-Ch. The antibacterial properties were evaluated against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus. In the examined microorganisms, the antibacterial properties of the novel alkyl derivatives increased substantially higher than chitosan. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Mono-NHD-Ch and Di-NHD-Ch was perceived at 50 μg/mL against tested microorganisms, except for B. cereus. The MTT test was used to determine the cytotoxicity of the produced materials, which proved their safety to fibroblast cells. The findings suggest that the new N-Alkyl chitosan derivatives might be used as antibacterial alternatives to pure chitosan in wound infection treatments.

Abstract
Chitosan obtained from abundant marine resources has been proven to have a variety of biological activities. However, due to its poor water solubility, chitosan application is limited, and the degradation products of chitosan oligosaccharides are better than chitosan regarding performance. Chitosan oligosaccharides have two kinds of active groups, amino and hydroxyl groups, which can form a variety of derivatives, and the properties of these derivatives can be further improved. In this review, the key structures of chitosan oligosaccharides and recent studies on chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives, including their synthesis methods, are described. Finally, the antimicrobial and antitumor applications of chitosan oligosaccharides and their derivatives are discussed.
