Abstract
The current environmental consciousness of the world's population encourages researchers to work on new materials that are environmentally benign and able to display the appropriate features for the needed application. To develop high-performing, inexpensive eco-materials, scientists have frequently turned to nature, attempting to mimic its processes' excellent performance at a reasonable price. In this regard, we decided to focus on alginic acid (AA), a polysaccharide widely found in brown algae, and kojic acid (KA), a chelating agent fungi produces. This study proposes rapidly synthesizing a sustainable, biocompatible material (AK) based on AA and KA, employing chlorokojic acid (CKA). The material has a dual function: antibacterial activity on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, without any cytotoxic action on human cells in vitro, and catalytic ability to convert CO2 into cyclic carbonates at atmospheric pressure, without solvents, with high yields, and without the use of metals. Furthermore, the material's insolubility in organic solvents allows it to be easily separated from the reaction product and reused for other catalytic cycles. Both applications have a key role in the medical and environmental fields, combating the outbreak of infections and providing an innovative methodology to fix the CO2 on specific substrates.

Abstract
This paper delves into the intersection of biomaterials and antibacterial agents, highlighting the importance of alginic acid-based biomaterials. We investigate enhancing antibacterial properties by functionalizing alginic acid with an ionic liquid and a potent chelating agent, tris(hydroxypyridinone) (THP). Initial functionalization with the ionic liquid markedly improves the material's antibacterial efficacy. Subsequent functionalization with THP further enhances this activity, reducing the minimum inhibitory concentration from 6 to 3 mg/mL. Notably, the newly developed dual-functionalized materials exhibit no cytotoxic effects at the concentrations tested, underscoring their potential for safe and effective antibacterial applications. These findings highlight the promising role of dual-functionalized alginic acid biomaterials in developing advanced antibacterial treatments.

Abstract
There is plenty of scope for modifying chitosan, an only polycationic natural polysaccharide, owing to its reactive functional groups, namely hydroxyl and amino groups. Although innumerable numbers of chitosan derivatives have been synthesized by modifying these groups and reported elsewhere, in this review article, an attempt has been exclusively made to demonstrate the syntheses of various chitosan-based Schiff bases (CSBs) simply by allowing the reactions of reactive amino groups of chitosan with different aldehydes/ketones of interest. Due to their very peculiar and unique characteristics, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, metal-binding capability, etc., they are found to be very useful for diversified applications. Thus, we have also attempted to showcase their very specific biomedical fields, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wound healing, to name a few. In addition, we have also discussed the utilization of CSBs for industrial applications such as wastewater treatment, catalysis, corrosion inhibition, sensors, etc.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS)-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have gained significant attention in fuel cell applications owing to their numerous benefits, such as environmental friendliness, flexibility for structural alteration, and improved mechanical, thermal and chemical durability. This study aims to enhance the cell performance of CS-based AEMs by addressing key factors including mechanical stability, ionic conductivity, water absorption and expansion rate. While previous reviews have predominantly focused on CS as a proton-conducting membrane, the present mini-review highlights the advancements of CS-based AEMs. Furthermore, the study investigates the stability of cationic head groups grafted to CS through simulations. Understanding the chemical properties of CS, including the behaviour of grafted head groups, provides valuable insights into the membrane's overall stability and performance. Additionally, the study mentions the potential of modern cellulose membranes for alkaline environments as promising biopolymers. While the primary focus is on CS-based AEMs, the inclusion of cellulose membranes underscores the broader exploration of biopolymer materials for fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Chitooligosaccharide (CHOS), a depolymerized chitosan, can be prepared via physical, chemical, and enzymatic hydrolysis, or a combination of these techniques. The superior properties of CHOS have attracted attention as alternative additives or bioactive compounds for various food and biomedical applications. To increase the bioactivities of a CHOS, its derivatives have been prepared via different methods and were characterized using various analytical methods including FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. CHOS derivatives such as carboxylated CHOS, quaternized CHOS, and others showed their potential as potent anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer agents, which could further be used for human health benefits. Moreover, enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant bioactivities, especially for a CHOS-polyphenol conjugate, could play a profound role in shelf-life extension and the safety assurance of perishable foods via the inhibition of spoilage microorganisms and pathogens and lipid oxidation. Also, the effectiveness of CHOS derivatives for shelf-life extension can be augmented when used in combination with other preservative technologies. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the production of a CHOS and its derivatives, as well as their potential applications in food as either additives or nutraceuticals. Furthermore, it revisits recent advancements in translational research and in vivo studies on CHOS and its derivatives in the medical-related field.

Abstract
Chitosan is a versatile and biocompatible cationic antimicrobial polymer obtained from sustainable sources that is effective against a wide range of microorganisms. Although it is soluble only at low pH, chitosan oligomers (ChitO) are soluble in pure water and thus more appropriate for antibacterial applications. Although there is a vast literature on chitosan's antimicrobial activity, the molecular details of its interaction with biomembranes remain unclear. Here we investigate these molecular interactions by resorting to phospholipid Langmuir films (zwitterionic DPPC and anionic DPPG) as simplified membrane models (for mammalian and bacterial membranes, respectively), and using SFG vibrational spectroscopy to probe lipid tail conformation, headgroup dynamics and interfacial water orientation. For comparison, we also investigate the interactions of another simple cationic antimicrobial polyelectrolyte, poly(allylamine) hydrochloride - PAH. By forming the lipid films over the polyelectrolyte solutions, we found that both have only a very small interaction with DPPC, but PAH adsorption is able to invert the interfacial water orientation (membrane potential). This might explain why ChitO is compatible with mammalian cells, while PAH is toxic. In contrast, their interaction with DPPG films is much stronger, even more so for ChitO, with both insertion within the lipid film and interaction with the oppositely charged headgroups. Again, PAH adsorption inverts the membrane potential, while ChitO does not. Finally, ChitO interaction with DPPG is weaker if the antimicrobial is injected underneath a pre-assembled Langmuir film, and its interaction mode depends on the time interval between end of film compression and ChitO injection. These differences between ChitO and PAH effects on the model membranes highlight the importance of molecular structure and intermolecular interactions for their bioactivity, and therefore this study may provide insights for the rational design of more effective antimicrobial molecules.

Abstract
In this study, an antimicrobial packaging material was successfully developed with blends of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and chitosan (CS) made by melt processing. In the different HDPE/CS composites, the CS content effect (up to 40%), and the addition of quaternary ammonium salt functionalized chitosan (CS-CTAB) as an additive were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyses (TG), tensile strength, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and antimicrobial activity. When analyzing the effect of the additive in the different HDPE/CS composites, it was observed that the compositions with 10 and 20 %wt of chitosan showed better elongation values (~13% and 10%) as well as a higher decomposition temperature at 20% mass loss (T20) varying from (321-332 °C and 302-312 °C), respectively, in relation to the other compositions, regardless of the type of additive used, it acted as an antimicrobial agent, promoting inhibition of microbial growth against the strains gram-positive and gram-negative used in this work, making the different HDPE/CS composites suitable candidates for use in food packaging.

Abstract
Polysaccharides arouse great interest due to their structure and unique properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and absence of toxicity. Polysaccharides from marine sources are particularly useful due to the wide variety of applications and biological activities. Chitosan, a deacetylated derivative of chitin, is an example of an interesting bioactive marine-derived polysaccharide. Moreover, a wide variety of chemical modifications and conjugation of chitosan with other bioactive molecules are responsible for improvements in physicochemical properties and biological activities, expanding the range of applications. An overview of the synthetic approaches for preparing chitosan, chitosan derivatives, and conjugates is described and discussed. A recent update of the biological activities and applications in different research fields, mainly focused on the last 5 years, is presented, highlighting current trends.

Abstract
A new synthesis method was developed and optimized by a full factorial design for conjugating hydroxycinnamic acids (HCA-s) to chitosan. Cinnamic acid and tert-butyldimethylsilyl protected HCA-s were converted to their corresponding acyl chlorides and reacted with 3,6-di-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-chitosan to selectively form amide linkages, resulting in water-soluble conjugates after deprotection. Nineteen conjugates were obtained with various degrees of substitution (DS) ranging from 3% to 60%. The conjugates were found to be bactericidal against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with their activities equal to chitosan at low DS but an increase in the DS correlated with reduced activity. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging assay was performed to determine the EC50 values. Chitosan only exhibited low antioxidant activity, whereas the HCA-chitosan conjugates exhibited higher antioxidant activities correlating with the DS. One caffeic acid conjugate (21%) was 4000 times more active than chitosan and more active than free caffeic acid.

Abstract
A series of quaternary dimethyl-(alkyl)-ammonium chitosan derivatives (QACs) was synthesized and studied for physicochemical properties and bioactivity. The QACs tended to spontaneously self-assembly into nanoaggregates. Antimicrobial activity was examined in vitro on Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Listeria innocua (L. innocua) bacteria as well as phytopathogenic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The hexyl chain-substituted QAC-6 demonstrated the highest potency causing 3.0- and 4.5-log CFU mL-1 reduction of E. coli and L. innocua, respectively. QAC-6 was tested for antimicrobial activity on stainless steel coupons and fresh spinach leaves. A traditional 'wet' application (spray) and dry Engineered Water Nanostructure (EWNS) approach were used for spinach decontamination. With both approaches, significant reduction of microbial load on the treated produce was achieved. The wet application showed a greater reduction of microbial load, while the advantages of EWNS were reaching the antimicrobial effect with miniscule dose of active agent leaving treated surface visibly dry.

Current trends in chitosan based nanopharmaceuticals for topical vaginal therapies. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 193:2140-2152. [PMID: 34780894 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.11.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 10/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
Large surface area, rich vascularisation, well defined mucous membrane, balanced pH and relatively low enzymatic activity makes vagina a suitable site for drugs associated with women's health issues like Urinary tract infection (UTI) and vaginal infections. Therapeutic performance of intravaginal dosage forms largely depends on the properties of polymers and drugs. Chitosan (CS) because of its unique physical, chemical, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical properties have received a great deal of attention as an essential component in vaginal drug delivery systems. Further the presence of free amino and hydroxyl groups on the chitosan skeleton allows easy derivatization under mild conditions to meet specific application requirements. Moreover, CS-based nanopharmaceuticals like nanoparticles, nanofiber, nanogel, nanofilm, liposomes and micelles are widely studied to improve therapeutic performance of vaginal formulations. However, susceptibility of CS to the acidic pH of vagina, poor loading of hydrophobic drugs, rapid mucosal turn over are the key issues need to be addressed for successful outcomes. In this review, we have discussed the application of CS and CS derivatives in vaginal drug delivery and also highlight the recent progress in chitosan based nanocarrier platforms in terms of their limitations and potentials.

Structure and antimicrobial comparison between N-(benzyl) chitosan derivatives and N-(benzyl) chitosan tripolyphosphate nanoparticles against bacteria, fungi, and yeast. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 186:724-734. [PMID: 34273342 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.07.086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2021] [Revised: 06/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Chitosan (Ch) was reacted with seven benzaldehyde analogs separately through reductive amination in which the corresponding imines were formed and followed by reduction to produce N-(benzyl) chitosan (NBCh) derivatives. 1H NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize the products. The nanoparticles (NPs) of Ch and NBCh derivatives were prepared according to the ionotropic gelation mechanism between Ch products and sodium tripolyphosphate, followed by high-energy ultrasonication. Scanning electron microscopy, particle size, polydispersity index, and zeta potential were applied for the NPs examination. The particle size was ranged from 235.17 to 686.90 nm and narrow size distribution (PDI <1). The zeta potential of NPs was varied between -1.26 and -27.50 mV. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated against bacteria (Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, and Ralstonia solanacearum), fungi (Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger), and yeast (Candida albicans). The action of NBCh derivatives was significantly higher than Ch. The NPs had considerably higher than the Ch and NBCh derivatives. The activity was directly proportional to the chemical derivatization of Ch and the zeta potential of the NPs. The antimicrobial efficacy of these derivatives formulated in a greener approach could become an alternative to using traditional antimicrobial applications in an environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract
Seafood by-products, produced by a range of different organisms, such as fishes, shellfishes, squids, and bivalves, are usually discarded as wastes, despite their possible use for innovative formulations of functional foods. Considering that “wastes” of industrial processing represent up to 75% of the whole organisms, the loss of profit may be coupled with the loss of ecological sustainability, due to the scarce recycling of natural resources. Fish head, viscera, skin, bones, scales, as well as exoskeletons, pens, ink, and clam shells can be considered as useful wastes, in various weight percentages, according to the considered species and taxa. Besides several protein sources, still underexploited, the most interesting applications of fisheries and aquaculture by-products are foreseen in the biotechnological field. In fact, by-products obtained from marine sources may supply bioactive molecules, such as collagen, peptides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, antioxidant compounds, and chitin, as well as catalysts in biodiesel synthesis. In addition, those sources can be processed via chemical procedures, enzymatic and fermentation technologies, and chemical modifications, to obtain compounds with antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetic, and anti-coagulant effects. Here, we review the main discards from fishery and aquaculture practices and analyse several bioactive compounds isolated from seafood by-products. In particular, we focus on the possible valorisation of seafood and their by-products, which represent a source of biomolecules, useful for the sustainable production of high-value nutraceutical compounds in our circular economy era.

Abstract
Chitosan, a chitin-derivative polysaccharide, known for its non-toxicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability, presents limited applications due to its low solubility in neutral or basic pH medium. Quaternization stands out as an alternative to modify this natural polymer, aiming to improve its solubility over a wide pH range and, consequently, expand its range of applications. Quaternization occurs by introducing a quaternary ammonium moiety onto or outside the chitosan backbone, via chemical reactions with primary amino and hydroxyl groups, under vast experimental conditions. The oldest and most common forms of quaternized chitosan involve N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) and N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethyl ammonium) propyl] chitosan (HTCC) and, more recently, quaternized chitosan by insertion of pyridinium or phosphonium salts. By modifying chitosan through the insertion of a quaternary moiety, permanent cationic charges on the polysaccharide backbone are achieved and properties such as water solubility, antimicrobial activity, mucoadhesiveness and permeability are significantly improved, enabling the application mainly in the biomedical and pharmaceutical areas. In this review, the main quaternized chitosan compounds are addressed in terms of their structure, properties, synthesis routes and applications. In addition, other less explored compounds are also presented, involving the main findings and future prospects regarding the field of quaternized chitosans.

Abstract
New chitosan derivatives bearing guanidinium functions were synthesized following different synthesis strategies. N-guanidinium chitosan acetate and N-guanidinium chitosan chloride were synthesized by direct reaction between chitosan and cyanamide in the presence of scandium(III) triflate. The synthesis of N-guanidinium chitosan (N,N'-dicyclohexyl) chloride and N-guanidinium chitosan (N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl hydrochloride) chloride involved the reaction of chitosan with carbodiimides in ionic liquid. The chitosan derivatives were characterized by analytical techniques including 13C solid state NMR, FT-IR spectroscopies, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis. The antimicrobial properties of chitosan and the new derivatives were investigated using the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) technique. All new guanylated chitosan derivatives displayed high antimicrobial activity in comparison with neat chitosan. The N-guanidinium chitosan acetate reduced the time required for killing to half in comparison with chitosan and recorded MIC values less than 3.125 mg/mL against all assayed microorganisms. This work opens new perspectives for using chitosan derivatives as antimicrobial surfaces.

Abstract
In this work, in order to prepare biocomposites of ciprofloxacin- montmorillonite/N,N,N-triethyl chitosan (CMC/TEC and CMC׳/TEC), ciprofloxacin was intercalated into the Na+-montmorillonite layers in two different pHs and coated with N,N,N-triethyl chitosan. XRD and FT-IR data demonstrated that ciprofloxacin (CIP) diffused among the layers of montmorillonite. The prepared biocomposites were further characterised by TG, SEM, BET, DSC, and disk diffusion method to investigate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus as well. Coated composites with N,N,N-triethyl chitosan possessed efficiency of the drug encapsulation, and controlled the release of drug from the biocomposites in comparison with composites without N,N,N-triethyl chitosan. Study of antibacterial activities of two biocomposites of CMC1/TEC and CMC2/TEC with lower release rates and lower concentrations of CIP than other biocomposites revealed that likely N,N,N-triethyl chitosan could considerably help to reduce the consumption of ciprofloxacin. By doing more researches on other bacterial strains and performing advanced tests on our own biocomposites, N,N,N-triethyl chitosan can probably be proved as a suitable candidate for a substitute in biomedical activities.

Abstract
N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) with 93% degree of trimethylation was synthesized. TMC and the chitosan starting material were subjected to acidic hydrolysis to produce 49 different samples with a reduced average molecular weight (Mw) ranging from 2 to 144 kDa. This was done to allow the investigation of the relationship between antibacterial activity and Mw over a wide Mw range. NMR investigation showed that hydrolysis did not affect the degree of trimethylation (DSTRI) or the structure of the polymer backbone. The activity of TMC against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) increased sharply with Mw until a certain Mw value (critical Mw for high activity, CMW) was reached. After the CMW, the activity was not affected by a further increase in the Mw. A similar pattern of activity was observed for chitosan. The CMW was determined to be 20 kDa for TMC and 50 kDa for chitosan.

Abstract
The bacterial infections have always a serious problem to public health. Scientists are developing new antibacterial materials to overcome this problem. Polysaccharides are promising biopolymers due to their diverse biological functions, low toxicity, and high biodegradability. Chitin and chitosan have antibacterial properties due to their cationic nature, while cellulose/bacterial cellulose does not possess any antibacterial activity. Moreover, the insolubility of chitin in common solvents, the poor solubility of chitosan in water, and the low mechanical properties of chitosan have restricted their biomedical applications. In order to solve these problems, chemical modifications such as quaternization, carboxymethylation, cationization, or surface modification of these polymers with different antimicrobial agents, including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, are carried out to obtain new materials with improved physiochemical and biological properties. This mini review describes the recent progress in such derivatives and composites with potential antibacterial applications.

Abstract
We herein describe the synthesis of four Cs-PVC conjugates three of them were functionalized with benzothiazole (BTh) derivative as an antibacterial agent. Two of these BTh-functionalized conjugates, namely Cs2 and Cs3, comprise silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Ag/TiO2 NPs, respectively. The structures were characterized via FTIR spectroscopic analysis, morphological investigation such as scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Spectral data confirmed the introduction of the BTh to the Cs backbone as well as the coupling between the two polymers. SEM data showed homogenous polymer surfaces with well-distributed Ag nanoparticles. The Ag contents in the prepared samples Cs2 and Cs3 were, respectively, 0.61 and 0.21%, however, TEM analysis showed that the sizes of AgNPs and Ag/TiO2 NPs were in the range of 3-7 nm and 15-22 nm for the prepared conjugates, respectively. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized conjugates was investigated against two Gram-negative (E. coli, and S. typhimurium) and two Gram-positive (S. aureus, and L. monocytogenes) bacteria. The antibacterial assay showed that all three Cs-PVC (Cs1, Cs2, and Cs3) conjugates modified with BTh exhibited excellent bacterial inhibition after 30, 60, and 120 min.

Abstract
In this study, blends based on a high density polyethylene (HDPE) and chitosan (CS) were successfully prepared by melt processing, in a laboratory internal mixer. The CS biopolymer content effect (up to maximum of 40%), and, the addition of bentonite clay modified with quaternary ammonium salt (CTAB) impregnated chitosan as a compatibilizing agent, on the properties of the blends was analyzed by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyses (TG), tensile strength, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The use of clay modified with CTAB impregnated chitosan, employing a method developed here, improved the compatibility of HDPE with chitosan, and therefore the thermal and some of the mechanical properties were enhanced, making HDPE/chitosan blends suitable candidates for food packaging. It was possible to obtain products of synthetic polymer, HDPE, with natural polymer, chitosan, using a method very used industrially, with acceptable and more friendly properties to the environment, when compared to conventional synthetic polymers. In addition, due to the possibility of impregnated chitosan with quaternary ammonium salt exhibit higher antibacterial activity than neat chitosan, the HDPE/chitosan/organobentonite blends may be potentially applied in food containers to favor the preservation of food for a longer time in comparison to conventional materials.

Abstract
Chitosan is an abundant and renewable polysaccharide, its derivatives exhibit attractive bioactivities and the wide applications in various biomedical fields. In this paper, two novel cationic chitosan derivatives modified with quaternary phosphonium salts were successfully synthesized via trimethylation, chloride acetylation, and quaternization with tricyclohexylphosphine and triphenylphosphine. The structures and properties of synthesized products in the reactions were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, 1H-NMR, 31P-NMR, elemental and thermogravimetric analysis. The antifungal activities of chitosan derivatives against four kinds of phytopathogens, including Phomopsis asparagi, Watermelon fusarium, Colletotrichum lagenarium, and Fusarium oxysporum were tested using the radial growth assay in vitro. The results revealed that the synthesized cationic chitosan derivatives showed significantly improved antifungal efficiency compared to chitosan. It was reasonably suggested that quaternary phosphonium groups enabled the obviously stronger antifungal activity of the synthesized chitosans. Especially, the triphenylphosphonium-functionalized chitosan derivative inhibited the growth of Phomopsis asparagi most effectively, with inhibitory indices of about 80% at 0.5 mg/mL. Moreover, the data demonstrated that the substituted groups with stronger electron-withdrawing ability relatively possessed greater antifungal activity. The results suggest the possibility that cationic chitosan derivatives bearing quaternary phosphonium salts could be effectively employed as novel antifungal biomaterials for application in the field of agriculture.

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.

Abstract
Four novel starch derivatives modified with quaternary phosphonium salts were designed and successfully synthesized, including trimethylphosphonium acetyl starch chloride, tributylphosphonium acetyl starch chloride, tricyclohexylphosphonium acetyl starch chloride, triphenylphosphonium acetyl starch chloride, and characterized by FTIR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 31P NMR spectra. Their antifungal activities against four kinds of phytopathogens were evaluated using the radial growth assay and minimum inhibitory concentration procedure. The fungicidal assessment revealed that the synthesized starch derivatives had superior antifungal activity compared with starch. Especially, the inhibitory indices of triphenylphosphonium acetyl starch chloride against these four kinds of plant pathogens were higher than 70% at 1.0mg/mL. The results indicated that quaternary phosphonium groups should be high-efficiency antifungal function groups, and meanwhile longer alkyl chain lengths or the stronger electron-withdrawing groups were responsible for enhanced antifungal versatility and efficacy. The cytotoxicity of starch and starch derivatives bearing quaternary phosphonium salts was evaluated in vitro on HEK-293T cells. As novel quaternary phosphonium functionalized starch derivatives could be prepared efficiently and exhibited superduper antifungal activity, this synthetic strategy might provide an effective way and notion to prepare novel antifungal biomaterials.
