Abstract
The demand for advanced biomaterials in medical treatments is rapidly expanding. To address this demand, a nanocomposite of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) with chitosan (Ch) and graphene oxide (GO) was developed for burn wound treatment. The CNF-Ch-GO nanocomposites were characterized and their biological properties were evaluated. Microscopic images showed a uniform distribution of CNF, Ch, and GO with a porous structure. ATR-FTIR and XRD analyses confirmed the chemical structures, while a thermogravimetric study confirmed the stability of CNF-Ch-GO nanocomposite under a N2 atmosphere. The synthesized CNF-Ch-GO nanocomposite exhibited rapid absorption, absorbing 1781.7 ± 53.7 % PBS in 2 min. It demonstrated a Young's modulus of 11.90 ± 0.06 MPa in a hydrated condition, indicating its mechanical stability in water. Furthermore, it displayed excellent biocompatibility and hemocompatibility with 96.23 ± 12.21 % cell viability and 0.21 ± 0.08 % of hemolysis. Additionally, the blood clotting index of CNF-Ch-GO was comparable to that of standard dressing gauze. To enhance antimicrobial efficacy, CNF-Ch-GO was conjugated with lysozyme. This biotic and abiotic conjugation resulted in 92.17 % ± 3.02 % and 94.99 ± 2.1 % eradication of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The enhanced antimicrobial properties, biocompatibility, and mechanical stability of the superabsorbent CNF-Ch-GO nanocomposite indicate its significant potential for advanced burn wound healing applications.

Abstract
Two chitosan Schiff bases were synthesized by condensation of chitosan with 2-(4-formylphenoxy)-N-phenylacetamide and N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-formylphenoxy) acetamide denoted as Cs-SBA and Cs-SBBr, respectively. The molecular structures of the resulting chitosan derivatives were characterized using FTIR and 1HNMR and their thermal properties were investigated by TGA. These derivatives were treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) to produce Cs Schiff base nanoparticles. The nanoparticles physicochemical properties were determined by FTIR, XRD, TEM, and zeta potential analysis. The antimicrobial action against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was evaluated and the results indicated that the anti-H. pylori activity had minimal inhibitory concentration MIC values of 15.62 ± 0.05 and 3.9 ± 0.03 μg/mL for Cs-SBA and Cs-SBBr nanoparticles (Cs-SBA NPs and Cs-SBBr NPs), respectively. The better biologically active nanoparticles, Cs-SBBr NPs, were tested for their cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibitory potential. Cs-SBBr NPs demonstrated COX enzyme inhibition activity against COX-2 (IC50 4.5 ± 0.165 μg/mL) higher than the conventional Indomethacin (IC50 0.08 ± 0.003 μg/mL), and Celecoxib (IC50 0.79 ± 0.029 μg/mL). Additionally, the cytotoxicity test of Cs-SBBr NPs showed cytotoxic effect on Vero cells (CCL-81) with IC50 = 17.95 ± 0.12 μg/mL which is regarded as a safe compound. Therefore, Cs-SBBr NPs may become an alternative to cure H. pylori and prevent gastric cancer.

Abstract
Chitosan is a biopolymer that can be subjected to a variety of chemical modifications to generate new materials. The properties of modified chitosan are affected by its degree of deacetylation (DDA), which corresponds to the percentage of D-glucosamine monomers in its polymeric structure. Potentiometric titration is amongst the simplest, most readily available, and most cost-effective methods of determining the DDA. However, this method often suffers from a lack of precision, especially for modified chitosan resins. This is in large part because the equation used to calculate the DDA does not consider the molecular weight of the chemically modified monomeric units. In this paper, we introduce a new equation that is especially suited for modified chitosan bearing three different types of monomers. To test this equation, we prepared naphthalene-chitosan resins and subjected them to potentiometric titration. Our results show that our new equation, which is truer to the real structure of the polymeric chains, gives higher DDA values than those of the routinely used equations. These results show that the traditional equations underestimate the DDA of modified chitosan resins.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) aims to develop implantable bone replacements for severe skeletal abnormalities that do not heal. In the field of BTE, chitosan (CS) has become a leading polysaccharide in the development of bone scaffolds. Although CS has several excellent properties, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties, it has limitations for use in BTE because of its poor mechanical properties, increased degradation, and minimal bioactivity. To address these issues, researchers have explored other biomaterials, such as synthetic polymers, ceramics, and CS coatings on metals, to produce CS-based biocomposite scaffolds for BTE applications. These CS-based biocomposite scaffolds demonstrate superior properties, including mechanical characteristics, such as compressive strength, Young's modulus, and tensile strength. In addition, they are compatible with neighboring tissues, exhibit a controlled rate of degradation, and promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteoblast differentiation. This review provides a brief outline of the recent progress in making different CS-based biocomposite scaffolds and how to characterize them so that their mechanical properties can be tuned using crosslinkers for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Chitosan, a versatile biopolymer, has gained recognition in the discipline of dental implantology due to possessing salient properties. This comprehensive review explores the potential of chitosan in dental implants, focusing on its biocompatibility, bioactivity, and the various chitosan-based materials that have been utilized for dental implant therapy. The review also highlights the importance of surface treatment in dental implants to enhance osseointegration and inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Additionally, the chemical structure, properties, and sources of chitosan are described, along with its different structural forms. The characteristics of chitosan particularly color, molecular weight, viscosity, and degree of deacetylation are discussed about their influence on its applications. This review provides valuable insights into the promising utilization of polymeric chitosan in enhancing the success and functionality of dental implants. This study highlights the potential applications of chitosan in oral implantology. Chitosan possesses various advantageous properties, including muco-adhesiveness, hemostatic action, biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioactivity, and antibacterial and antifungal activities, which enhance its uses in dental implantology. However, it has limited aqueous solubility at the physiological pH, which sometimes restricts its biological application, but this problem can be overcome by using modified chitosan or chitosan derivatives, which have also shown encouraging results. Recent research suggests that chitosan may act as a promising material for coating titanium-based implants, improving osteointegration together with antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Novel chitosan polymers were synthesized using two cross-linkers, Glutaraldehyde and Terephthaldehyde, to enhance stability and efficiency. Characterization techniques (XRD, FTIR, FE-SEM, TGA, DTG, BJH, and BET) confirmed successful synthesis. These polymers were employed as adsorbents for removing Malachite Green (MG) and Congo Red (CR) dyes from water. Batch experiments and DFT calculations investigated the adsorption process, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Results showed the CSGT-III polymer achieved the highest removal efficiency. For initial dye concentrations ([CR]o = 50 mg/L, [MG]o = 20 mg/L) and adsorbent doses (0.8 g/L for CR, 0.4 g/L for MG), removal efficiencies were 96.99 % for CR and 99.07 % for MG. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the spontaneous nature of adsorption, and the process was endothermic for both dyes. The Langmuir model fitted adsorption isotherms well, indicating a homogeneous surface. Kinetic analysis revealed a pseudo-second-order model for both dyes.

Abstract
Bacterial infections have always been a major threat to public health, and the development of effective antibacterial substances from natural polymers is crucial. 2-Aminoisonicotinic acid (AN) was grafted onto chitosan by 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide-mediated coupling reactions, and then modified chitosan‑iodine (CSAN-I) complexes were prepared by solvent-assisted grinding. The samples were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, confirming that CSAN-I complexes had been successfully prepared. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis indicated that the chemical modification of chitosan and iodine complexation reduced the thermal stability; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that 81 % of the iodine in CSAN-I complex was in the form of triiodide ions. The iodine contents of three CSAN-I complexes (CSAN-I-1, CSAN-I-2 and CSAN-I-3) were 1.59 ± 0.22 %, 3.18 ± 0.26 %, and 5.56 ± 0.41 %, respectively. The antibacterial effects were evaluated in vitro, and the results indicated that CSAN-I complexes had strong antibacterial activities against both E. coli and S. aureus. In particular, CSAN-I-3 exhibited the best antibacterial effect. In addition, CSAN-I-3 was nontoxic to L929 cells with good cytocompatibility. Therefore, CSAN-I complexes can be considered as promising candidates for wound management in clinical applications.

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
Synthesis of four sulfa drug derivatives (L1-L4) and Zn(II) complexes derived from sulfonamide group antibiotic substances was carried out using the hydrothermal technique (HT) and their structures of the obtained compounds were explained using elemental analysis (EA), FT-IR and NMR (1H- and 13C-). Cytotoxic activities of four novel sulfa drug based-Schiff base compounds and their Zn(II) complexes were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay using MCF-7 (human breast cancer), Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma), A2780 (human ovarian cancer) and LNCaP (human prostate adenocarcinoma) cell lines. LogIC50 values of all obtained compounds were computed with the Graphpad Prism 6 program after 24 h of treatment for MCF-7, Caco-2, A2780 and LNCaP cells. Comet assay experiments were performed using LogIC50 concentrations of all compounds to determine DNA damage. Based on the data obtained, all compounds significantly decreased MCF-7, Caco-2, A2780 and LNCaP cell viability compared to the control groups (p < 0.05).

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a biologically active biopolymer used in different medical applications due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and nontoxicity. Nanotechnology is an exciting and quick developing field in medical applications. Nanoparticles have shown great potential in the treatment of cancer and inflammation. In the present work modification of chitosan and its (Ag, Au, or ZnO) nanocomposites by N-aminophthalimide (NAP) occurred through the reaction with epichlorohydrin (ECH) as a crosslinker in the presence or absence of glutaraldehyde (GA) under different reaction conditions using microwave irradiation to give modified chitosan derivatives CS-2, CS-6, and their nanocomposites. Modified chitosan derivatives were characterized using different tools. CS-2 and CS-6 derivatives displayed enhancement of thermal stability and crystallinity compared to chitosan. Additionally, CS-2, CS-6, and their nanocomposites exhibited improvements in antitumor activity against HeLa cancer cells and enzymatic inhibitory against trypsin and α-chymotrypsin enzymes compared to chitosan. However, CS-2 revealed the highest cell growth inhibition% toward HeLa cells (89.02 ± 1.46 %) and the enzymatic inhibitory toward α-chymotrypsin enzyme (17.13 ± 1.59 %). Furthermore, CS-Au-2 showed the highest enzymatic inhibitory against trypsin enzyme (28.14 ± 1.76 %). These results suggested that the new chitosan derivatives CS-2, CS-6, and their nanocomposites could be a platform for medical applications against HeLa cells, trypsin, and α-chymotrypsin enzymes.

Developing a new multi-featured chitosan-quinoline Schiff base with potent antibacterial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities: design and molecular modeling simulation. Sci Rep 2023; 13:22792. [PMID: 38123716 PMCID: PMC10733428 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50130-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
A new chitosan Schiff base was developed via the reaction of chitosan (CH) with 2-chloro-3-formyl-7-ethoxy quinoline (Q) derivative. The alteration in the chemical structure and morphology of CHQ derivative was confirmed by 1H NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy and SEM analysis. The antibacterial activity was considerably promoted with increasing quinoline concentration up to 1 M with maximal inhibition reached 96 and 77% against Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Additionally, CHQ derivative afforded higher ABTS·+ radical scavenging activity reached 59% compared to 13% for native chitosan, approving its acceptable antioxidant activity. Moreover, the developed CHQ derivative can stimulate the glucose uptake in HepG-2 and yeast cells, while better inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase was accomplished with maximum values of 99.78 and 92.10%, respectively. Furthermore, the molecular docking simulation clarified the binding mode of CHQ derivative inside the active site of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, suggesting its potential use as diabetes mellitus drug. The DFT calculations indicated an improvement in the electronic properties of CHQ with a lower energy band gap reached 4.05eV compared to 5.94eV for CH. The cytotoxicity assay revealed the safety of CHQ towards normal HSF cells, hypothesizing its possible application as non-toxic antibacterial, antioxidant, and antidiabetic agent for biomedical applications.

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
The application of antiplant virus agents on leaf surfaces faces challenges due to their vulnerability to wear, instability, and limited duration, which in turn jeopardizes plant health and yield. In recent years, high-aspect-ratio nanomaterials have gained prominence as powerful carriers for disease treatment, thanks to their exceptional penetrability and precise drug delivery capabilities. Here, we synthesized a pH-responsive nanoimmune inducer (CNC-AMO) with strong leaf adhesion through a Schiff base reaction, achieved by grafting amino-oligosaccharides (AMOs) on the surface of aldehyde-based CNC (CNC-CHO). Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, zeta potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis were used to characterize the CNC-AMO. The CNC-AMO displayed the capability for pH-responsive AMO release, showcasing its potential for targeted and controlled delivery. When applied to plants, the CNC-AMO exhibited impressive anti-TMV efficacy during a weeklong observation period. Meanwhile, the CNC-AMO exhibited remarkable adhesion and scouring resistance on the surfaces of the plant leaves. We strongly believe that the synergy of environmentally friendly synthetic materials, efficient plant virus control, and streamlined scalability positions CNC-AMOs as a promising pesticide for plant virus therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a film-forming gel containing honey aromatic water (HW) and royal jelly (RJ) for cosmetic applications as a facial peel-off mask. HW, which is industrial waste from the water-reduction process of honey, was sterilized by autoclaving and filtration through a 0.22 µm membrane. The film-forming gels were developed using various types of film-forming polymers, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA 117), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC). The gel formulations were characterized in terms of their external appearance, viscosity, pH, and drying time, whereas the films generated were characterized by a texture analyzer, microscopic investigation, Fourier transform infrared, and an X-ray diffractometer. The findings highlighted that HW has short storage shelf life due to microbial contamination. Sterilizations were required before further product development. The film-forming gel was created by using the combination of PVA 117, CMC, and HEC. HW and RJ were successfully incorporated into the film-forming gel. However, HW resulted in a decrease in the gel viscosity and mechanical properties of its film. Interestingly, the drying time was dramatically decreased, which would be more desirable for its use as a peel-off mask. Furthermore, incorporation of royal jelly enhanced the viscosity of the gels as well as improved the mechanical properties of the film. No effect on the chemical and crystal structure of the films was detected after the incorporation. Therefore, the film-forming gels containing HW and RJ, possessing aesthetic attributes that extended to both the gels themselves and the resultant films, were suitable for use as a peel-off mask.

Abstract
This study holds significant importance as it explores the synthesis and characterization of two chitosan dibenzylideneacetone Schiff bases. Various analytical techniques, such as UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC, SEM, and elemental analysis, were employed to thoroughly examine these derivatives. The antimicrobial activity of the chitosan derivatives was evaluated against a range of bacterial and fungal strains, while cytotoxicity tests were conducted on MCF-7, L-132, and VERO cell lines. In the antimicrobial tests, the chitosan derivatives exhibited remarkable antibacterial properties against S. aureus, E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as potent antifungal properties against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. The cytotoxicity assessment revealed that the dibenzylideneacetone chitosan Schiff base (CHDBA) showed significant effectiveness against the L-132 cell line, surpassing the efficacy of doxorubicin by 2.44 times. Moreover, it exhibited substantial activity against the L-132 and MCF-7 cell lines, with IC50 values of 55.29 μg/mL and 185.8 μg/mL, respectively. Notably, none of the chitosan derivatives demonstrated cytotoxicity towards the normal cell line, indicating their non-toxic nature and safe usability. Based on these findings, it is evident that CHDBA holds promise for further development as a potential treatment option for breast cancer and lung cancer.

Abstract
In the current work, vanillin-conjugated chitosan stabilized emulsions (CSVAEs) were successfully prepared and its characterization and antibacterial properties were investigated. Under stirring condition, CSVAEs were produced by a Schiff base reaction between the vanillin aldehyde group and the chitosan active amino group. The CSVAEs were described through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet spectrophotometry and thermogravimetric analysis, which demonstrated the generation of Schiff bases between vanillin and chitosan. Furthermore, the CSVAEs displayed differences at different pH values, indicating their potential as pH-responsive materials. By studying their release behavior, pH 4 was a critical point at which the properties of the CSVAEs changed. The antibacterial tests showed that the CSVAEs had good pH-responsive antibacterial abilities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Abstract
The widespread prevalence of infectious bacteria is one of the greatest threats to public health, and consequently, there is an urgent need for efficient and broad-spectrum antibacterial materials that are antibiotic-free. In this study, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde (PCA) was grafted onto chitosan (CS) and the modified CS coordinated with silver ions to prepare PCA-CS-Ag complexes with antibacterial activity. To obtain complexes with a high silver content, the preparation process was optimized using single-factor experiments and response surface methodology. Under the optimal preparation conditions (an additional amount of silver nitrate (58 mg), a solution pH of 3.9, and a reaction temperature of 69 °C), the silver content of the PCA-CS-Ag complex reached 13.27 mg/g. The structure of the PCA-CS-Ag complex was subsequently verified using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Furthermore, three possible complexation modes of the PCA-CS-Ag complex were proposed using molecular mechanics calculations. The results of the antibacterial assay in vitro showed that the PCA-CS-Ag complex exhibited strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, exerting the synergistic antibacterial effect of modified chitosan and silver ions. Therefore, the PCA-CS-Ag complex is expected to be developed as an effective antibacterial material with promising applications in food films, packaging, medical dressings, and other fields.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the leading causes of human mortality. Existing hemostatic materials or techniques cannot meet the clinical requirements for safe and effective hemostasis. The development of novel hemostatic materials has always been of great interest. Chitosan hydrochloride (CSH), a derivative of chitin, is extensively used on wounds as an antibacterial and hemostatic agent. However, the formation of intra- or intermolecular hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl and amino groups limits its water solubility and dissolution rate and affects its effectiveness in promoting coagulation. Herein, we covalently grafted aminocaproic acid (AA) to the hydroxyl and amino groups of CSH via ester and amide bonds, respectively. The solubility of CSH in water (25 °C) was 11.39 ± 0.98 % (w/v), whereas the AA-grafted CSH (CSH-AA) reached 32.34 ± 1.23 % (w/v). Moreover, the dissolution rate of CSH-AA in water was 6.46 times higher than that of CSH. Subsequent studies proved that CSH-AA is non-toxic, biodegradable, and has superior antibacterial and hemostatic properties to CSH. Additionally, anti-plasmin activity can be exerted by the dissociated AA from the CSH-AA backbone, which can help to lessen secondary bleeding.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural biopolymer with a proven ability to impart textile materials with antimicrobial properties when loaded onto them. The mechanism of its bacteriological activity depends on the contact between the positive and negative charges of the amino groups located on the surface of the microbes. Unfortunately, the type of microorganisms and pH influence this action-shortcomings that can be avoided by chitosan modification and by loading its film with substances possessing antimicrobial properties. In this study, chitosan was modified with benzaldehyde and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde to form a film on the surface of cotton fabric (CB). Also, another material was obtained by including zinc oxide particles (CBZ) synthesized in situ into the chitosan coating. The performed analyses (contact angle measurement, optical and scanning electron microscopy, FTIR, XRD, and thermal analysis) evidenced the modification of the cotton fabric and the alteration of the film properties after zinc oxide inclusion. A comparison of the antimicrobial properties of the new CB with materials prepared with chitosan without benzaldehyde from our previous study verified the influence of the hydrophobicity and surface roughness of the fabric surface on the enhancement of antimicrobial activity. The microbial growth inhibition increased in the following order: fungal strain Candida lipolytica >Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus cereus >Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The samples containing zinc oxide particles completely inhibited the growth of all three model strains. The virucidal activity of the CB was higher against human adenovirus serotype 5 (HAdV-5) than against human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV-S2) after 60 min of exposure. The CBZ displayed higher virucidal activity with a Δlog of 0.9 against both viruses.

World health organization listed fungi as priority pathogens in 2022 to counter their adverse effects on human well-being. The use of antimicrobial biopolymers is a sustainable alternative to toxic antifungal agents. In this study, we explore chitosan as an antifungal agent by grafting a novel compound N-(4-((4-((isatinyl)methyl)piperazin-1-yl)sulfonyl)phenyl) acetamide (IS). The acetimidamide linkage of IS to chitosan herein was confirmed by 13C NMR and is a new branch in chitosan pendant group chemistry. The modified chitosan films (ISCH) were studied using thermal, tensile, and spectroscopic methods. The ISCH derivatives strongly inhibit fungal pathogens of agricultural and human importance, namely Fusarium solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Myrothecium verrucaria, Penicillium oxalicum, and Candida albicans. ISCH80 showed an IC50 value of 0.85 μg/ml against M. verrucaria and ISCH100 with IC50 of 1.55 μg/ml is comparable to the commercial antifungal IC50 values of Triadiamenol (3.6 μg/ml) and Trifloxystrobin (3 μg/ml). Interestingly, the ISCH series remained non-toxic up to 2000 μg/ml against L929 mouse fibroblast cells. The ISCH series showed long-standing antifungal action, superior to our lowest observed antifungal IC50 values of plain chitosan and IS at 12.09 μg/ml and 3.14 μg/ml, respectively. ISCH films are thus suitable for fungal inhibition in an agricultural setting or food preservation.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15051518.

Abstract
Wound healing has grown to be a significant problem at a global scale. The lack of multifunctionality in most wound dressing-based biopolymers prevents them from meeting all clinical requirements. Therefore, a multifunctional biopolymer-based tri-layered hierarchically nanofibrous scaffold in wound dressing can contribute to skin regeneration. In this study, a multifunctional antibacterial biopolymer-based tri-layered hierarchically nanofibrous scaffold comprising three layers was constructed. The bottom and the top layers contain hydrophilic silk fibroin (SF) and fish skin collagen (COL), respectively, for accelerated healing, interspersed with a middle layer of hydrophobic poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) containing amoxicillin (AMX) as an antibacterial drug. The advantageous physicochemical properties of the nanofibrous scaffold were estimated by SEM, FTIR, fluid uptake, contact angle, porosity, and mechanical properties. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity and cell healing were assessed by MTT assay and the cell scratching method, respectively, and revealed excellent biocompatibility. The nanofibrous scaffold exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against multiple pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, the in vivo wound healing and histological studies demonstrated complete wound healing in wounded rats on day 14, along with an increase in the expression level of the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and a decrease in the expression level of interleukin-6 (IL-6). The results revealed that the fabricated nanofibrous scaffold is a potent wound dressing scaffold, and significantly accelerates full-thickness wound healing in a rat model.

Abstract
An improvement in chitosan film photoluminescence was observed after adding LiClO4. FTIR spectra, XPS, DFT calculations, and XRD measurements show an alteration of the H-bonds and an increase in the amorphous character of chitosan. PL spectra display a growth in intensity in the visible region along with the incorporation of lithium, signaling a possible rise in the population density of tail states and, consequently, better photon absorption, as observed from UV-vis measurements. A mechanism through aggregation-induced emission effect is proposed to explain the different results. Although this work establishes the relation between structural changes provoked by LiClO4 incorporation and luminescence in the case of chitosan, we expect that the same approach could be generalized to similar polymeric structures.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health and food security today. It becomes increasingly difficult to treat infectious disorders because antibiotics, even the newest ones, are becoming less and less effective. One of the ways taken in the Global Plan of Action announced at the World Health Assembly in May 2015 is to ensure the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. In order to do so, attempts are made to develop new antimicrobial therapeutics, including biomaterials with antibacterial activity, such as polycationic polymers, polypeptides, and polymeric systems, to provide non-antibiotic therapeutic agents, such as selected biologically active nanoparticles and chemical compounds. Another key issue is preventing food from contamination by developing antibacterial packaging materials, particularly based on degradable polymers and biocomposites. This review, in a cross-sectional way, describes the most significant research activities conducted in recent years in the field of the development of polymeric materials and polymer composites with antibacterial properties. We particularly focus on natural polymers, i.e., polysaccharides and polypeptides, which present a mechanism for combating many highly pathogenic microorganisms. We also attempt to use this knowledge to obtain synthetic polymers with similar antibacterial activity.

Abstract
In this study, the chitosan backbone was functionalized with 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone by Schiff base, bonding the molecules into the repeating amine groups. The use of 1H NMR, FT-IR, and UV-Vis analyses provided compelling evidence of the structure of the newly developed derivatives. The deacetylation degree was calculated to be 75.35 %, and the degree of substitution was 5.53 % according to elemental analysis. The thermal analysis of samples using TGA demonstrated that CS-THB derivatives are more stable than chitosan itself. SEM was used to investigate the change in surface morphology. The improvement of the biological properties of chitosan was investigated in terms of its antibacterial activity against pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The antioxidant properties showed an improvement in activity compared to chitosan by two times against ABTS radicals and four times against DPPH radicals. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory properties were investigated using normal skin cells (HBF4) and WBCs. Quantum chemistry calculations revealed that combining polyphenol with chitosan makes it more effective as an antioxidant than either chitosan or polyphenol alone. Our findings suggest that the new chitosan Schiff base derivative could be utilized for tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
This study was designed to synthesize a functionalized chitosan by coupling the amine groups of chitosan with 2,4,6-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde, producing a chitosan Schiff base (Cs-TMB). The development of Cs-TMB was verified employing FT-IR, 1H NMR, the electronic spectrum, and elemental analysis. Antioxidant assays exhibited significant ameliorations of Cs-TMB, reporting scavenging activities of 69.67 ± 3.48 % and 39.65 ± 1.98 % for ABTS•+ and DPPH, respectively, while native chitosan showed scavenging ratios of 22.69 ± 1.13 % and 8.24 ± 0.4.1 % toward ABTS•+ and DPPH, respectively. Besides, Cs-TMB exerted significant antibacterial activity up to 90 % with remarkable bactericidal capacity against virulent gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria compared to the original chitosan. Furthermore, Cs-TMB exhibited a safe profile against normal fibroblast cells (HFB4). Interestingly, flow cytometric analysis showed that Cs-TMB demonstrated prominent anticancer properties of 52.35 ± 2.99 % against human skin cancer cells (A375), compared to 10.66 ± 0.55 % for Cs-treated cells. Moreover, Python and PyMOL in-house scripts were used to predict the interaction of Cs-TMB with the adenosine A1 receptor and visualized as a protein-ligand system submerged in a lipid membrane. Overall, these findings accentuate that Cs-TMB could be a favorable representative for wound dressing formulations and skin cancer treatment.

Abstract
Biopolymers obtained from natural macromolecules are noteworthy among materials presenting high biocompatibility and adequate biodegradability, as is the case of chitosan (CS), making this biopolymeric compound a suitable drug delivery system. Herein, chemically-modified CS were synthetized using 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NQ) and the sodium salt of 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonic acid (1,2-NQ), producing 1,4-NQ-CS and 1,2-NQ-CS by three different methods, employing an ethanol and water mixture (EtOH:H2O), EtOH:H2O plus triethylamine and dimethylformamide. The highest substitution degree (SD) of 0.12 was achieved using water/ethanol and triethylamine as the base for 1,4-NQ-CS and 0.54 for 1,2-NQ-CS. All synthesized products were characterized by FTIR, elemental analysis, SEM, TGA, DSC, Raman, and solid-state NMR, confirming the CS modification with 1,4-NQ and 1,2-NQ. Chitosan grafting to 1,4-NQ displayed superior antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis associated with improved cytotoxicity and efficacy, indicated by high therapeutic indices, ensuring safe application to human tissue. Although 1,4-NQ-CS inhibited the growth of human mammary adenocarcinoma cells (MDA-MB-231), it is accompanied by cytotoxicity and should be considered with caution. The findings reported herein emphasize that 1,4-NQ-grafted CS may be useful in protecting injured tissue against bacteria, commonly found in skin infections, until complete tissue recovery.

Abstract
The development of new antimicrobial agents has been drawing considerable attention due to the extreme escalation of multi-drug resistant microorganisms. We thus sought to ameliorate the antimicrobial activities of the chitosan (Cs) biopolymer by coupling chitosan with cyclohexanone and 2-N-methyl pyrrolidone, synthesizing two novel Schiff bases (CsSB1 and CsSB2), respectively. FT-IR, TGA, DSC, SEM, and potentiometric titration were employed to characterize the formulated chitosan derivatives. The findings exposed that the degrees of deacetylation were 88.12% and 89.98% for CsSB1 and CsSB2, respectively. The antimicrobial capacities of CsSB1 and CsSB2 were substantially enhanced compared with prime chitosan. Furthermore, the CsSB1 and CsSB2 demonstrated minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 50 µg/ml in relation to all studied microorganisms, whereas chitosan revealed MIC value of 50 µg/ml only for E. coli. Furthermore, CsSB1 with a concentration of 250 µg/ml manifested the highest antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Correspondingly, CsSB2 revealed a comparable trend of microbial hindrance with lower activities. Besides, the two derivatives could thwart the growth of Candida albicans (C. albicans). The cytotoxicity assay of the biomaterials accentuated their biocompatibility with fibroblasts. Collectively, the two formulated chitosan derivatives could competently rival the native chitosan, particularly for future applications in wound healing.

Abstract
Currently, chitosan (CHT) is well known for its uses, particularly in veterinary and agricultural fields. However, chitosan's uses suffer greatly due to its extremely solid crystalline structure, it is insoluble at pH levels above or equal to 7. This has sped up the process of derivatizing and depolymerizing it into low molecular weight chitosan (LMWCHT). As a result of its diverse physicochemical as well as biological features which include antibacterial activity, non-toxicity, and biodegradability, LMWCHT has evolved into new biomaterials with extremely complex functions. The most important physicochemical and biological property is antibacterial, which has some degree of industrialization today. CHT and LMWCHT have potential due to the antibacterial and plant resistance-inducing properties when applied in crop production. This study has highlighted the many advantages of chitosan derivatives as well as the most recent studies on low molecular weight chitosan applications in crop development.

Abstract
The high prevalence of acquiring skin wounds, along with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains that lead to infections, impose a threat to the physical, mental, and socioeconomic health of society. Among the wide array of wound dressings developed, hydrogels are regarded as a biomimetic soft matter of choice owing to their ability to provide a moist environment ideal for healing. Herein, neutral glycol chitosan (GC) was cross-linked via imine bonds with varying concentrations of dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (DP) to give glycol chitosan/dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol hydrogels (GC/DP). These dynamic Schiff base linkages (absorption peak at 1638 cm-1) within the hydrogel structure endowed their ability to recover from damage as characterized by high-low strain exposure in continuous step strain rheology. Along with their good injectability and biodegradability, the hydrogels exhibited remarkable inhibition against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. GC/DP hydrogels demonstrated high LC50 values in vivo using zebrafish embryos as a model system due to their relative biocompatibility and a remarkable 93.4 ± 0.88% wound contraction at 30-dpw against 49.1 ± 3.40% of the control. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that developed injectable glycol chitosan/dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol self-healing hydrogels for application in wound healing with intrinsic bacteriostatic properties against the three bacteria.

Abstract
Public health, production and preservation of food, development of environmentally friendly (cosmeto-)textiles and plastics, synthesis processes using green technology, and improvement of water quality, among other domains, can be controlled with the help of chitosan. It has been demonstrated that this biopolymer exhibits advantageous properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, antimicrobial effect, mucoadhesive properties, film-forming capacity, elicitor of plant defenses, coagulant-flocculant ability, synergistic effect and adjuvant along with other substances and materials. In part, its versatility is attributed to the presence of ionizable and reactive primary amino groups that provide strong chemical interactions with small inorganic and organic substances, macromolecules, ions, and cell membranes/walls. Hence, chitosan has been used either to create new materials or to modify the properties of conventional materials applied on an industrial scale. Considering the relevance of strategic topics around the world, this review integrates recent studies and key background information constructed by different researchers designing chitosan-based materials with potential applications in the aforementioned concerns.

Abstract
AbstractThis study intends to develop a novel bioactive chitosan Schiff base (CTS-SB) derivative via coupling of chitosan (CTS) with 4-((5, 5-dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-yl) amino) benzene-sulfonamide. The alteration in the chemical structure of CTS-SB was verified using 1H NMR and FT-IR analysis, while the thermal and morphological properties were inspected by TGA and SEM characterization tools, respectively. Ion exchange capacity of the developed CTS-SB derivative recorded a maximal value of 12.1 meq/g compared to 10.1 meq/g for pristine CTS. In addition, antibacterial activity of CTS-SB derivative was greatly boosted against Escherichia coli (E coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. Minimum inhibition concentration of CTS-SB derivative was perceived at 50 µg/mL, while the highest concentration (250 µg/mL) could inhibit the growth of S. aureus up to 91%. What’s more, enhanced antidiabetic activity by CTS-SB derivative, which displayed higher inhibitory values of α-amylase (57.9%) and α-glucosidase (63.9%), compared to those of pure CTS (49.8 and 53.4%), respectively Furthermore, cytotoxicity investigation on HepG-2 cell line revealed potential anticancer activity along with good safety margin against primary human skin fibroblasts (HSF cells) and decent cytocompatibility. Collectively, the gained results hypothesized that CTS-SB derivative could be effectively applied as a promising antibacterial, anticancer and antidiabetic agent for advanced biomedical applications.

Abstract
Fungal diseases have posed a great challenge to global health, but have fewer solutions compared to bacterial and viral infections. Development and application of new treatment modalities for fungi are limited by their inherent essential properties as eukaryotes. The microorganism identification and drug sensitivity analyze are limited by their proliferation rates. Moreover, there are currently no vaccines for prevention. Polymer science and related interdisciplinary technologies have revolutionized the field of fungal disease management. To date, numerous advanced polymer-based systems have been developed for management of fungal diseases, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. In this review, we provide an overview of current needs and advances in polymer-based strategies against fungal diseases. We high light various treatment modalities. Delivery systems of antifungal drugs, systems based on polymers' innate antifungal activities, and photodynamic therapies each follow their own mechanisms and unique design clues. We also discuss various prevention strategies including immunization and antifungal medical devices, and further describe point-of-care testing platforms as futuristic diagnostic and monitoring tools. The broad application of polymer-based strategies for both public and personal health management is prospected and integrated systems have become a promising direction. However, there is a gap between experimental studies and clinical translation. In future, well-designed in vivo trials should be conducted to reveal the underlying mechanisms and explore the efficacy as well as biosafety of polymer-based products.

Abstract
Because of the apparent stasis in antibiotic discoveries and the growth of multidrug resistance, Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric infections are difficult to eradicate. In the search for alternative therapy, the reductive amination of chitosan with mannose, followed by ionic gelation, produced mannose functionalized chitosan nanoparticles. Then, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted with H. pylori lectin (HPLectin) as a target protein involved in bacterium adherence to host cells, biofilm formation, and cytotoxicity. Changes in zeta potential and FTIR spectroscopy revealed that chitosan was functionalized with mannose. Time-kill, polystyrene adherence, and antibiofilm studies were utilized to assess nanoparticles as an alternative antibacterial treatment against a resistant gastric pathogen. Man-CS-Nps were discovered to have effective anti-adherence and biofilm disruption characteristics in suppressing the development of resistant H. pylori. In addition, bioimaging studies with CLSM, TEM, and SEM illustrated that Man-CS-Nps interacted with bacterial cells and induced membrane disruption by creating holes in the outer membranes of the bacterial cells, resulting in the leakage of amino acids. Importantly, molecular docking and 20 ns MD simulations revealed that Man-CS-Nps inhibited the target protein through slow-binding inhibition and hydrogen bond interactions with active site residues. As a consequence of the findings of this study, the Man-CS-Nps is an excellent candidate for developing alternative therapies for the increasing incidences of resistant gastric infections.

Local anti-inflammatory effect and immunomodulatory activity of chitosan-based dressing in skin wound healing: A systematic review. J Clin Transl Res 2022; 8:488-498. [PMID: 36451998 PMCID: PMC9706318] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Wound healing is a complex process comprised of several distinct phases. An imbalance in any of the stages creates a chronic wound with the potential to cause life-threatening complications for patients. Chitosan (CS) is a biopolymer that has shown to positively impact the different healing phases. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of CS-based wound therapy for the skin healing process after an injury. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in November 2021 following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. The PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane online databases were queried to capture all publications in the past 10 years that investigated the CS effects on inflammation and immune reaction. RESULTS A total of 234 studies were screened after removing duplicates and 14 articles fulfilled our inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the studies, CS was combined with a wide range of products. One clinical trial was found that treated patients with diabetic foot ulcers. All animal models in the studies used a full-thickness skin wound to test the effectiveness of CS in the healing process. Decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, a shortened inflammatory phase and accelerated wound closure was observed in all of the studies. CONCLUSIONS CS proved to be a feasible, versatile, and multifaceted biomaterial that enhances the biological response to a skin injury. When combined with other products, its potential to boost the healing process through regulation of the inflammatory and cellular activity is increased. RELEVANCE FOR PATIENTS Although few clinical trials have been completed, CS has become an excellent alternative to modulate the local inflammatory response promoting wound healing. Especially in patients with associated comorbidities that affect the typical resolution of skin healing, such as diabetes and vascular insufficiency. Therefore, using bioactive wound dressings based on CS combined with nanoparticles, growth factors, lived cells, or medications released in a controlled manner positively impacts patient life by shorting the wound healing process.

New thiadiazole modified chitosan derivative to control the growth of human pathogenic microbes and cancer cell lines. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21423. [PMID: 36503959 PMCID: PMC9742148 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25772-4] [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: 07/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant microbes and the propagation of cancer cells are global health issues. The unique properties of chitosan and its derivatives make it an important candidate for therapeutic applications. Herein, a new thiadiazole derivative, 4-((5-(butylthio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) amino)-4-oxo butanoic acid (BuTD-COOH) was synthesized and used to modify the chitosan through amide linkages, forming a new thiadiazole chitosan derivative (BuTD-CH). The formation of thiadiazole and the chitosan derivative was confirmed by FT-IR, 1H/13C-NMR, GC-MS, TGA, Elemental analysis, and XPS. The BuTD-CH showed a high antimicrobial effect against human pathogens Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans with low MIC values of 25-50 μg ml-1 compared to unmodified chitosan. The in-vitro cytotoxicity of BuTD-CH was evaluated against two cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and HepG2) and one normal cell (HFB4) using the MTT method. The newly synthesized derivatives showed high efficacy against cancerous cells and targeted them at low concentrations (IC50 was 178.9 ± 9.1 and 147.8 ± 10.5 μg ml-1 for MCF-7 and HepG2, respectively) compared with normal HFB4 cells (IC50 was 335.7 ± 11.4 μg ml-1). Thus, low concentrations of newly synthesized BuTD-CH could be safely used as an antimicrobial and pharmacological agent for inhibiting the growth of human pathogenic microbes and hepatocellular and adenocarcinoma therapy.

Abstract
In this contribution, five Ni(II) complexes have been synthesized from sulfonamide-based Schiff bases (SB1-SB5) that comprise bromo or iodo substituents in the salicylidene moiety. The chemical structures of these compounds were extensively elucidated by different analytical and physicochemical studies. All ligands act as bidentate chelators with ON binding mode yielding octahedral, square planar, or tetrahedral geometries. The phenolic OH at δ 12.80 ppm in the free Schiff base SB2 vanishes in the 1H NMRspectrum of diamagnetic complex [Ni(SB2-H)2] favoring the OH deprotonation prior to the chelation with Ni(II) ion. The appearance of twin molecular ion peaks ([M - 1]+ and [M + 1]+) is due to the presence of bromine isotopes (79Br and 81Br) in the mass spectra of most cases. Also, the thermal decomposition stages of all complexes confirmed their high thermal stability and ended with the formation of NiO residue of mass 6.42% to 14.18%. Besides, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of the ligands and some selected complexes were evaluated. Among the ligands, SB4 showed superior antimicrobial efficacy with MIC values of 0.46, 7.54, and 0.95 µM against B. subtilis, E. coli, and A. fumigatus strains, respectively. The consortium of different substituents as two bromine atoms either at positions 3 and/or 5 on the phenyl ring and a thiazole ring is one of the reasons behind the recorded optimal activity. Moreover, there is a good correlation between the cytotoxicity screening (IC50) and molecular docking simulation outcomes that predicted a strong binding of SB2 (16.0 μM), SB4 (18.8 μM), and SB5 (6.32 μM) to the breast cancer protein (3s7s). Additionally, [Ni(SB4-H)2] (4.33 µM) has nearly fourfold potency in comparison with cisplatin (19.0 μM) against breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7) and is highly recommended as a promising, potent, as well as low-cost non-platinum antiproliferative agent after further drug authorization processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to evaluate the properties of chitosan for an application in dental implantology. METHODS Electronic Databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, were used to recherche the articles published from 2010 to 2021. The keywords used were: chitosan, biocompatible, antibacterial, osseointegration, implant, bioactive. After a carefully selection according to the above keywords 46 articles met the condition to be studied RESULTS: Chitosan is a biopolymer, that can be easy produced. Its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fugal, hemostatic, analgesic, mucoadhesive, osseointegrative properties and its excellent film-forming ability make chitosan a material with a future in dental implantology and in other areas of dental applications. Titan implants coated with chitosan showed better bioactive properties than uncoated implants. The treatment of the implant surface played an important role on the stability of implants. The activity of osteoblasts increased when the surface was laser-treated followed by coating with chitosan. The subsequent coating with apatite improved the bioactivity of chitosan. CONCLUSION Chitosan is a promising biocompatible and bioactive material in dental implantology. Its antibacterial properties can be enhanced by modification of its structure. Its bioactive properties can be improved when mixing with hydroxy apatite.

Abstract
A bioactive peptide has been successfully grafted onto nano-CuO impregnated Tencel membranes by a simple and rapid method involving a series of textile processes, and an atmospheric argon plasma treatment that requires no additional solvent or emulsifier. Surface morphology shows an apparent change from smooth, slightly roughened, and stripped with increasing plasma treatment time. The FT-IR characteristic peaks confirm the presence of the CuO nanoparticle and peptide on the extremely hydrophilic Tencel membranes that exhibit a zero-degree contact angle. Prepared nano-CuO/Tencel membranes with 90 s plasma treatment time exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, and promote fibroblast cell viability with the assistance of a grafted bioactive peptide layer on the membrane surface.

Abstract
AbstractThis study aims to prepare novel cross-linked antimicrobial membranes composed of PVA-Aloe vera hydrogels using novel physically cross-linked method via transforming PVA to high crystalline structure using propanol. Curcumin was incorporated to improve the membrane biological properties; while gentamycin improved sharply antimicrobial properties. PVA-Aloe vera hydrogel membranes were analyzed by FTIR, SEM, XRD and TGA measurements for characterizing resultant cross-linked membranes. Physicochemical measurements, e.g., swelling and mechanical stability were assessed for further studying the dressings. Antibacterial activity of cross-linked PVA-Aloe vera-curcumin membranes was tested using five bacterial strains. Results showed that high Aloe vera content in cross-linked membranes has insignificant impact on the release of gentamicin. Adult Wister Albino rats were used to test membrane’s ability for improving the wound healing rate in vivo. In vivo findings showed that PVA/Aloe vera/curcumin membranes dramatically reduced the size of mouse full-thickness wounds, as indicated by a decrease in the wound size. Furthermore, histological tests of wounds dressed with membranes revealed a significant re-epithelialization; compared to wounds treated with cotton gauze and PVA/Aloe vera dressings without curcumin, showing curcumin’s efficacy. These results refer to PVA-Aloe vera-curcumin membrane has exceptional wound healing and skin regeneration capacity.

Abstract
Two imine derivatives of chitosan (i-CTs), namely 2FCT and 5MCT, were synthesized by reacting chitosan (CT) with 2-(3-formyl-1H-indol-1yl)acetonitrile (2F), and 5-methoxyindole-3-carbaldehyde (5M), respectively. The antimicrobial evaluation of i-CTs exhibited stronger inhibition effect against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. The antioxidant activity of 2FCT and 5MCT showed strong scavenging ability with IC50 2.31 and 6.92 μg/mL, respectively. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity of 2FCT and 5MCT examined using human monocyte leukemia (THP-1) cells indicate no cytotoxic effect on host cells and the value of cell viability was found to be 87.08 and 84.47%, respectively. Measurement of intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production by flow cytometry analysis revealed that the 2FCT and 5MCT reduced the ROS generation by 83 and 43%, respectively. In summary, these findings show that i-CTs synthesized to be promising biomaterial for biomedical applications such as wound healing.
