[PMID: 37673148 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126691] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/02/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are abundant and renewable resource, but their applications are hampered by limited biological activity. Chemical modification can overcome these drawbacks by altering their structure. Three series of polysaccharide derivatives with coumarins were synthesized to obtain polysaccharide derivatives with enhanced biological activity. The biological activities were tested, including antioxidant property, antifungal property, and antibacterial property. Based on the results, the inhibitory properties of the coumarin-polysaccharide derivatives were significantly improved over the raw polysaccharide. The IC50 of the inhibition of DPPH, ABTS•+, and superoxide (O2•-) radical-scavenging was 0.06-0.15 mg/mL, 2.3-15.9 μg/mL, and 0.03-0.25 mg/mL, respectively. Compared with the raw polysaccharides, coumarin- polysaccharide derivatives exhibited higher efficacy in inhibiting the growth of tested phytopathogens, showing inhibitory indices of 60.0-93.6 % at 1.0 mg/mL. Chitosan derivatives with methyl and chlorine (Compound 10B and 10C) exhibited significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus (MIC = 31.2 μg/mL), E. coli (MIC = 7.8 μg/mL), and V. harveyi (MIC = 15.6 μg/mL), respectively. The results of the cytotoxicity assay showed no observed cytotoxicity when the RAW 264.7 cells were incubated with the synthesized polysaccharide derivatives at the tested concentrations.

Abstract
Chitosan has received much attention for its role in designing and developing novel derivatives as well as its applications across a broad spectrum of biological and physiological activities, owing to its desirable characteristics such as being biodegradable, being a biopolymer, and its overall eco-friendliness. The main objective of this review is to explore the recent chemical modifications of chitosan that have been achieved through various synthetic methods. These chitosan derivatives are categorized based on their synthetic pathways or the presence of common functional groups, which include alkylated, acylated, Schiff base, quaternary ammonia, guanidine, and heterocyclic rings. We have also described the recent applications of chitosan and its derivatives, along with nanomaterials, their mechanisms, and prospective challenges, especially in areas such as antimicrobial activities, targeted drug delivery for various diseases, and plant agricultural domains. The accumulation of these recent findings has the potential to offer insight not only into innovative approaches for the preparation of chitosan derivatives but also into their diverse applications. These insights may spark novel ideas for drug development or drug carriers, particularly in the antimicrobial, medicinal, and plant agricultural fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides are an important class of agricultural fungicides with the advantages of high efficiency and a broad bactericidal spectrum. To pursue novel SDHIs, a series of N-substituted dithiin tetracarboximide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and high resolution mass spectrum (HRMS). RESULTS These engineered compounds displayed potent fungicidal activity against phytopathogens, including Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Botrytis cinerea, and Rhizoctonia solani, comparable with that of the commercial SDHI fungicide boscalid. In particular, compound 18 stood out with prominent activity against S. sclerotiorum with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC50 ) value of 1.37 μg ml-1 . Compound 1 exhibited the most potent antifungal activity against B. cinerea with EC50 values of 5.02 μg ml-1 . As for R. solani, 12 and 13 exhibited remarkably inhibitory activity with EC50 values of 4.26 and 5.76 μg ml-1 , respectively. In the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibition assay, 13 presented significant inhibitory activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) value of 15.3 μm, which was approximately equivalent to that of boscalid (14.2 μm). Furthermore, molecular docking studies revealed that 13 could anchor in the binding site of SDH. CONCLUSION Taken together, results suggested that the dithiin tetracarboximide scaffold possessed a huge potential to be developed as novel fungicides and SDHIs. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 15:polym15010014. [PMID: 36616363 PMCID: PMC9824205 DOI: 10.3390/polym15010014] [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: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate was designed and synthesized through the reaction of chitooligosaccharide and nicotinic acid with the aid of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole. Its cationic derivatives were prepared by the further nucleophilic substitution reaction between the chitooligosaccharide-niacin acid conjugate and bromopropyl trialkyl ammonium bromide with different alkyl chain lengths. The specific structural characterization of all derivatives was identified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and the degree of substitution was obtained using the integral area ratio of the hydrogen signals. Specifically, the antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudoalteromonas citrea and Vibrio harveyi were evaluated using broth dilution methods. In addition, their antifungal activities, including Botrytis cinerea, Glomerella cingulate and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense were assayed in vitro using the mycelium growth rate method. Experimental data proved that the samples showed antibacterial activity against four pathogenic bacteria (MIC = 1-0.125 mg/mL, MBC = 8-0.5 mg/mL) and enhanced antifungal activity (50.30-68.48% at 1.0 mg/mL) against Botrytis cinerea. In particular, of all chitooligosaccharide derivatives, the chitooligosaccharide derivative containing pyridinium and tri-n-butylamine showed the strongest antibacterial capacity against all of the test pathogenic bacteria; the MIC against Vibrio harveyi was 0.125 mg/mL and the MBC was 1 mg/mL. The experimental results above showed that the introduction of pyridinium salt and quaternary ammonium salt bearing trialkyl enhanced the antimicrobial activity. In addition, the cytotoxicity against L929 cells of the chitooligosaccharide derivatives was evaluated, and the compounds exhibited slight cytotoxicity. Specifically, the cell viability was greater than 91.80% at all test concentrations. The results suggested that the cationic chitooligosaccharide derivatives bearing pyridinium and trialkyl ammonium possessed better antimicrobial activity than pure chitooligosaccharide, indicating their potential as antimicrobial agents in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields.

Abstract
In recent years, bone tissue engineering (BTE), as a multidisciplinary field, has shown considerable promise in replacing traditional treatment modalities (i.e., autografts, allografts, and xenografts). Since bone is such a complex and dynamic structure, the construction of bone tissue composite materials has become an attractive strategy to guide bone growth and regeneration. Chitosan and its derivatives have been promising vehicles for BTE owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. With intrinsic physicochemical characteristics and closeness to the extracellular matrix of bones, chitosan-based composite scaffolds have been proved to be a promising candidate for providing successful bone regeneration and defect repair capacity. Advances in chitosan-based scaffolds for BTE have produced efficient and efficacious bio-properties via material structural design and different modifications. Efforts have been put into the modification of chitosan to overcome its limitations, including insolubility in water, faster depolymerization in the body, and blood incompatibility. Herein, we discuss the various modification methods of chitosan that expand its fields of application, which would pave the way for future applied research in biomedical innovation and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most well-known and characterized materials applied in tissue engineering. Due to its unique chemical, biological and physical properties chitosan is frequently used as the main component in a variety of biomaterials such as membranes, scaffolds, drug carriers, hydrogels and, lastly, as a component of bio-ink dedicated to medical applications. Chitosan's chemical structure and presence of active chemical groups allow for modification for tailoring material to meet specific requirements according to intended use such as adequate endurance, mechanical properties or biodegradability time. Chitosan can be blended with natural (gelatin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, silk, alginate, agarose, starch, cellulose, carbon nanotubes, natural rubber latex, κ-carrageenan) and synthetic (PVA, PEO, PVP, PNIPPAm PCL, PLA, PLLA, PAA) polymers as well as with other promising materials such as aloe vera, silica, MMt and many more. Chitosan has several derivates: carboxymethylated, acylated, quaternary ammonium, thiolated, and grafted chitosan. Its versatility and comprehensiveness are confirming by further chitosan utilization as a leading constituent of innovative bio-inks applied for tissue engineering. This review examines all the aspects described above, as well as is focusing on a novel application of chitosan and its modifications, including the 3D bioprinting technique which shows great potential among other techniques applied to biomaterials fabrication.

Abstract
The widespread application of soluble enzymes in industrial processes is considered restrict due to instability of enzymes outside optimum operating conditions. For instance, enzyme immobilization can overcome this issue. In fact, chitosan-based nanofibers have outstanding properties, which can improve the efficiency in enzyme immobilization and the stability of enzymes over a wide range of operating conditions. These properties include biodegradability, antimicrobial activity, non-toxicity, presence of functional groups (amino and hydroxyl), large surface area to volume ratio, enhanced porosity and mechanical properties, easy separations and reusability. Therefore, the present review explores the advantages and drawbacks concerning the different methods of enzyme immobilization, including adsorption, cross-linking and entrapment. All these strategies have questions that still need to be addressed, such as elucidation of adsorption mechanism (physisorption or chemisorption); effect of cross-linking reaction on intramolecular and intermolecular interactions and the effect of internal and external diffusional limitations on entrapment of enzymes. Moreover, the current review discusses the challenges and prospects regarding the application of chitosan-based nanofibers in enzyme immobilization, towards maximizing catalytic activity and lifetime.

Abstract
In this review, we present the data on the natural occurrence of chitin and its partially or fully deacetylated derivative chitosan, as well as their properties, methods of modification, and potential applications of derivatives with bactericidal, fungicidal, and antioxidant activities. The structure and physicochemical characteristics of the polymers, their functions, and features of chitin microbial synthesis and degradation, including the processes occurring in nature, are described. New data on the hydrolytic microorganisms capable of chitin degradation under extreme conditions are presented. Special attention is focused on the effect of physicochemical characteristics of chitosan, including molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, polydispersity index, and number of amino group derivatives (quaternized, succinyl, etc.) on the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of modified polymers that can be of particular interest for biotechnology, medicine, and agriculture. Analysis of the available literature data confirms the importance of fundamental research to broaden our knowledge on the occurrence of chitin and chitosan in nature, their role in global biosphere cycles, and prospects of applied research aimed at using chitin, chitosan, and their derivatives in various aspects of human activity.

Abstract
Chitosan is a product of the deacetylation of chitin, which is widely found in nature. Chitosan is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, which seriously limits both its application scope and applicable fields. However, chitosan contains active functional groups that are liable to chemical reactions; thus, chitosan derivatives can be obtained through the chemical modification of chitosan. The modification of chitosan has been an important aspect of chitosan research, showing a better solubility, pH-sensitive targeting, an increased number of delivery systems, etc. This review summarizes the modification of chitosan by acylation, carboxylation, alkylation, and quaternization in order to improve the water solubility, pH sensitivity, and the targeting of chitosan derivatives. The applications of chitosan derivatives in the antibacterial, sustained slowly release, targeting, and delivery system fields are also described. Chitosan derivatives will have a large impact and show potential in biomedicine for the development of drugs in future.

A novel antibacterial composite film consisting of CSA, hydroxypropyl methylcellose (HPMC) and glycerol was then prepared. The transparent and homogeneous film presented good compatibility between CSA and HPMC, confirmed by SEM. The thickness of the film was about 44.8 μm and its moisture content was 23.0%. Antimicrobial evaluation of CSA/HPMC film showed 9.0 mm bacteriostatic diameter zone against E. coli and 10.5 mm one against S. aureus. The film exhibited cell biocompatibility and promoted proliferation with L929 cell cytotoxicity test. Both antibacterial and cytotoxic results showed that the CSA/HPMC film was a promising material for medication, cosmetics and food preservation applications.
