Abstract
This paper presents the formation of a self-healing hydrogel prepared by carboxyethyl modification of chitosan and crosslinking with oxidized sodium alginate. Concurrently, the incorporation of Ca2+ facilitated the formation of "calcium bridges" through intricate coordination with carboxyl moieties, bolstering the attributes of the hydrogel. Various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy, texture analysis, and rheological measurements, demonstrated that the introduction of carboxyethyl groups resulted in a more compact hydrogel network structure and improved the hardness and elasticity. The addition of Ca2+ helped to further enhance the mechanical performance of the hydrogel and increase its thermal stability. Then, the adsorption capacity was also investigated, showing adsorption capacities of 46.17 mg/g methylene blue and 46.44 mg/g congo red for carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized sodium alginate hydrogel, a four-fold increase for congo red versus chitosan/oxidized sodium alginate hydrogel. In addition, the adsorption behavior of CEC/OSA/2%Ca2+ hydrogel can be well described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir adsorption isothermal model. Compared to traditional hydrogels, CEC/OSA/2%Ca2+ hydrogel shows superior mechanical strength, enhanced thermal stability, and improved adsorption capacity, which can effectively adsorb not only methylene blue but also congo red. These advancements demonstrate our hydrogel's innovative properties.

Hussain S, Berry S. A review study on green synthesis of chitosan derived schiff bases and their applications. Carbohydr Res 2024; 535:109002. [PMID: 38065043 DOI: 10.1016/j.carres.2023.109002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
Chitosan is a bio-degradable, bio-compatible, non-toxic, and renewable biopolymer. The reactive amino group of chitosan has gained importance because using these amino groups can help achieve the different types of structural modification in chitosan. Chemical modification of chitosan via imine functionalization results in the formation of a chitosan Schiff base. The present review covers the green synthesis of chitosan Schiff bases using non-conventional green methods such as microwave irradiation, green solvent, ultrasound irradiation, and one-pot synthesis. These methods are energy-efficient and greener versions of the conventional condensation methods. Scientists have paid significant attention to the chitosan Schiff base because of its unique properties and versatility. These molecules display various biological applications, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antibacterial, and anti-fungal. In addition to biological applications, chitosan Schiff base also has other applications like corrosion inhibition, catalysis, metal ion adsorption, and as a sensor. Available literature particularly shows the different methods for the synthesis of chitosan Schiff bases and their different applications. This review gives detailed insight regarding sustainable approaches to the synthesis of chitosan derived Schiff bases and their applications in various emerging fields.

Hydrogels dressings based on guar gum and chitosan: Inherent action against resistant bacteria and fast wound closure. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127281. [PMID: 37806422 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127281] [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: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogels made with depolymerized guar gum, oxidized with theoretical oxidation degrees of 20, 35 and 50 %, were obtained via Schiff's base reaction with N-succinyl chitosan. The materials obtained were subjected to characterization by FT-IR, rheology, swelling, degradation, and morphology. Additionally, their gelation time categorized all three hydrogels as injectable. The materials' swelling degrees in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) were in the range of 26-35 g of fluid/g gel and their pore size distribution was heterogeneous, with pores varying from 67 to 93 μm. All hydrogels degraded in PBS solution, but maintained around 40 % of their initial mass after 28 days, which was more than enough time for wound healing. The biomaterials were also flexible, self-repairing, adhesive and cytocompatible and presented intrinsic actions, regardless of the presence of additives or antibiotics, against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). However, the most pronounced bactericidal effect was against resistant Staphylococcus aureus - MRSA. In vivo assays, performed with 50 % oxidized gum gel, demonstrated that this material exerted anti-inflammatory effects, accelerating the healing process and restoring tissues by approximately 99 % within 14 days. In conclusion, these hydrogels have unique characteristics, making them excellent candidates for wound-healing dressings.

Novel Scaffold Based on Chitosan Hydrogels/Phthalated Cashew Gum for Supporting Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:266.

Abstract
Hydrogels are structures that have value for application in the area of tissue engineering because they mimic the extracellular matrix. Naturally obtained polysaccharides, such as chitosan (CH) and cashew gum, are materials with the ability to form polymeric networks due to their physicochemical properties. This research aimed to develop a scaffold based on chitosan and phthalated cashew tree gum and test it as a support for the growth of human mesenchymal stem cells. In this study, phthalation in cashew gum (PCG) was performed by using a solvent-free route. PCG-CH scaffold was developed by polyelectrolyte complexation, and its ability to support adherent stem cell growth was evaluated. The scaffold showed a high swelling rate. The pore sizes of the scaffold were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) were isolated, expanded, and characterized for their potential to differentiate into mesenchymal lineages and for their immunophenotypic profile. Isolated mesenchymal stem cells presented fibroblastoid morphology, plastic adhesion capacity, and differentiation in osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages. Mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in scaffolds to assess cell adhesion and growth. The cells seeded on the scaffold showed typical morphology, attachment, and adequate distribution inside the matrix pores. Thus, cells seeded in the scaffold may improve the osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of these biomaterials.

Green approaches for extraction, chemical modification and processing of marine polysaccharides for biomedical applications. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1041102.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, natural-origin polysaccharides have received increasing attention across different fields of application, including biomedicine and biotechnology, because of their specific physicochemical and biological properties that have afforded the fabrication of a plethora of multifunctional devices for healthcare applications. More recently, marine raw materials from fisheries and aquaculture have emerged as a highly sustainable approach to convert marine biomass into added-value polysaccharides for human benefit. Nowadays, significant efforts have been made to combine such circular bio-based approach with cost-effective and environmentally-friendly technologies that enable the isolation of marine-origin polysaccharides up to the final construction of a biomedical device, thus developing an entirely sustainable pipeline. In this regard, the present review intends to provide an up-to-date outlook on the current green extraction methodologies of marine-origin polysaccharides and their molecular engineering toolbox for designing a multitude of biomaterial platforms for healthcare. Furthermore, we discuss how to foster circular bio-based approaches to pursue the further development of added-value biomedical devices, while preserving the marine ecosystem.
