[PMID: 37321754 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Boronated polymers are in the focus of dynamic functional materials due to the versatility of the B-O interactions and accessibility of precursors. Polysaccharides are highly biocompatible, and therefore, an attractive platform for anchoring boronic acid groups for further bioconjugation of cis-diol containing molecules. We report for the first time the introduction of benzoxaborole by amidation of the amino groups of chitosan improving solubility and introducing cis-diol recognition at physiological pH. The chemical structures and physical properties of the novel chitosan-benzoxaborole (CS-Bx) as well as two phenylboronic derivatives synthesized for comparison, were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), rheology and optical spectroscopic methods. The novel benzoxaborole grafted chitosan was perfectly solubilized in an aqueous buffer at physiological pH, extending the possibilities of boronated materials derived from polysaccharides. The dynamic covalent interaction between boronated chitosan and model affinity ligands, was studied by means of spectroscopy methods. A glycopolymer derived from poly(isobutylene-alt-anhydride) was also synthesized to study the formation of dynamic assemblies with benzoxaborole-grafted chitosan. A first approximation to apply fluorescence microscale thermophoresis for the interactions of the modified polysaccharide is also discussed. Additionally, the activity of CSBx against bacterial adhesion was studied.

Constitutive chitosanase from Bacillus thuringiensis B-387 and its potential for preparation of antimicrobial chitooligomers. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 38:167. [PMID: 35867186 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-022-03359-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The article proves the ability of the entomopathogenic strain B. thuringiensis var. dendrolimus B-387 to high the constitutive production (3-12.5 U/mL) of extracellular chitosanase, that was found for the first time. The enzyme was purified in 94-fold by ultrafiltration, affinity sorption and cation-exchange chromatography and characterized biochemically. The molecular mass of the chitosanase determined using SDS-PAGE is 40 kDa. Temperature and pH-optima of the enzyme are 55 °C and pH 6.5, respectively; the chitosanase was stable under 50-60 °C and pH 4-10.5. Purified chitosanase most rapidly (Vmax ~ 43 µM/mL × min, KM ~ 0.22 mg/mL, kcat ~ 4.79 × 104 s-1) hydrolyzed soluble chitosan of the deacetylation degree (DD) 85% by endo-mode, and did not degrade colloidal chitin, CM-cellulose and some other glucans. The main reaction products of the chitosan enzymolysis included chitobiose, chitotriose and chitotetraose. In addition to small chitooligosaccharides (CHOs), the studied chitosanase also generated low-molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) with average Mw in range 14-46 kDa and recovery 14-35%, depending on the enzyme/substrate ratio and incubation temperature. In some cases, the chitosan (DD 85 and 50%) oligomers prepared using crude chitosanase from B. thuringiensis B-387 indicated higher antifungal and antibacterial activities in vitro in comparison with the initial polysaccharides. The data obtained indicate the good prospect of chitosanase B-387 for the production of bioactive CHOs.

Battling Biofilm Forming Nosocomial Pathogens Using Chitosan and Pluronic F127. JOURNAL OF PURE AND APPLIED MICROBIOLOGY 2020.

Abstract
Biofilm represents a potential strut in bacterial treatment failure. It has a dual action; it affords microbial resistance against antibiotics and facilitate transmission of pathogenic bacteria. Nosocomial bacteria pose a serious problem in healthcare units; it prolongs patient hospital stay and increases the mortality rates beside other awful economical effect. This study was planned for targeting nosocomial bacterial biofilm using natural and biologically safe compounds like Chitosan and/or Pluronic F127. Ninety-five isolates were recovered from 107 nosocomial clinical samples. Different bacterial and fungal species were detected, from which Klebsiella pneumonia (23%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19%), Acinetobacter baumannii (18%) and E.coli (17%) were the predominate organisms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanni and Klebsiella pneumonia were the abundant antibiotic resistant strains with multi-resistance pattern of 72%, 65% and 59%, respectively. A significant percentage of these isolates were strong biofilm forming. Herein, we investigate the effect of Chitosan and Pluronic F127 alone and in combination with each other against biofilm production. Chitosan show variable degree of biofilm inhibition, while Pluronic F127 was able to retard biofilm formation by 80% to 90% in most strain. There is no significant difference (P< 0.05) between Pluronic F127 alone and its effect in combination with Chitosan.
