MethodsX 2024; 13:102892. [PMID: 39221014 PMCID: PMC11363563 DOI: 10.1016/j.mex.2024.102892] [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: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Waste from the fishing industry is disposed of in soils and oceans, causing environmental damage. However, it is also a source of valuable compounds such as chitin. Although chitin is the second most abundant polymer in nature, its use in industry is limited due to the lack of standardized and scalable extraction methods and its poor solubility. The deacetylation process increases its potential applications by enabling the recovery of chitosan, which is soluble in dilute acidic solutions. Chitosan is a polymer of great importance due to its biocompatible and bioactive properties, which include antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities. Chitin extraction and its deacetylation to obtain chitosan are typically performed using chemical processes that involve large amounts of strongly acidic and alkaline solutions. To reduce the environmental impact of this process, extraction methods based on biotechnological tools, such as fermentation and chitin deacetylase, as well as emerging technologies, have been proposed. These extraction methods have demonstrated the potential to reduce or even avoid using strong solvents and shorten extraction time, thereby reducing costs. Nevertheless, it is important to address existing gaps in this area, such as the requirements for large-scale implementation and the determination of the stoichiometric ratios for each process. This review highlights the use of biotechnological tools and emerging technologies for chitin extraction and chitosan production. These approaches truly minimize environmental impact, reduce the use of strong solvents, and shorten extraction time. They are a reliable alternative to fishery waste valorization, lowering costs; however, addressing the critical gaps for their large-scale implementation remains challenging.

A five-in-one novel MOF-modified injectable hydrogel with thermo-sensitive and adhesive properties for promoting alveolar bone repair in periodontitis: Antibacterial, hemostasis, immune reprogramming, pro-osteo-/angiogenesis and recruitment. Bioact Mater 2024; 41:239-256. [PMID: 39149594 PMCID: PMC11324614 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2024] [Accepted: 07/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by plaque that destroys the alveolar bone tissues, resulting in tooth loss. Poor eradication of pathogenic microorganisms, persistent malignant inflammation and impaired osteo-/angiogenesis are currently the primary challenges to control disease progression and rebuild damaged alveolar bone. However, existing treatments for periodontitis fail to comprehensively address these issues. Herein, an injectable composite hydrogel (SFD/CS/ZIF-8@QCT) encapsulating quercetin-modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8@QCT) is developed. This hydrogel possesses thermo-sensitive and adhesive properties, which can provide excellent flowability and post-injection stability, resist oral fluid washout as well as achieve effective tissue adhesion. Inspirationally, it is observed that SFD/CS/ZIF-8@QCT exhibits a rapid localized hemostatic effect following implantation, and then by virtue of the sustained release of zinc ions and quercetin exerts excellent collective functions including antibacterial, immunomodulation, pro-osteo-/angiogenesis and pro-recruitment, ultimately facilitating excellent alveolar bone regeneration. Notably, our study also demonstrates that the inhibition of osteo-/angiogenesis of PDLSCs under the periodontitis is due to the strong inhibition of energy metabolism as well as the powerful activation of oxidative stress and autophagy, whereas the synergistic effects of quercetin and zinc ions released by SFD/CS/ZIF-8@QCT are effective in reversing these biological processes. Overall, our study presents innovative insights into the advancement of biomaterials to regenerate alveolar bone in periodontitis.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) has physicochemical properties including solubility, crystallinity, swellability, viscosity, and cohesion, along with biological properties like biocompatibility, biodegradation, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor effects. However, these characteristics of CS are greatly affected by its degree of deacetylation, molecular weight, pH and other factors, which limits the application of CS in biomedicine. The modification of CS with catechol-containing substances inspired by mussels can not only improve these properties of CS, but also endow it with self-healing property, providing an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to promote the application of CS in biomedicine. In this paper, the properties of CS and its limitation in the biomedical filed are introduced in detail. Then, the modification methods and properties of substances with catechol groups inspired by mussels on CS are reviewed. Finally, the applications of modified CS in the biomedical field of wound healing, drug delivery, anticancer therapy, biosensor and 3D printing are further discussed. This review can provide valuable information for the design and exploitation of mussel-inspired CS in the biomedical field.

Abstract
To mitigate food spoilage caused by microbial contamination and extend the shelf life of food, antibacterial and eco-friendly biological packaging materials as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics is encouraged. Herein, an innovative and green composite film with triple antibacterial activity has been fabricated by introducing prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) into chitosan (CS)-based films blended with gelatin (Gel) for the preservation of food, named CS/Gel/PB film. Due to the incorporation of PBNPs, CS/Gel/PB film exhibits enhanced mechanical, barrier and water resistance, and thermal abilities. The inherent bacterial trapping and killing capabilities of CS (contact killing), photothermal/photodynamic killing based on the excellent photothermal property of PBNPs under NIR irradiation synergistically facilitate the sterilization against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus (antibacterial ratio = 99.99 %). The film exhibits outstanding preservation capability in product storage, significantly extending the shelf life of strawberry and pork to 15 and 7 days, respectively. Meanwhile, the cytotoxicity assessment of CS/Gel/PB against HepG2 cells ascertains a cell viability exceeding 96 %, indicating a negligible toxicity level. Additionally, this film also exhibits superior biodegradability (preliminary degradation on the 10th day and completion on the 40th day) compared with PE film. Overall, these properties demonstrate great potential of CS/Gel/PB film as a novel packaging material.

Abstract
Foodborne illness caused by Gram bacteria is the most important food safety issue worldwide. Food packaging film is a very important means to extend the shelf life of food. It reduces microbial contamination and provides food safety assurance during the sales process. However, the food packaging material is derived from plastic. Most plastics are not only non-degradable but also harmful to human health. Biodegradable natural polymers are an ideal substitute, but their poor mechanical properties, hydrophilicity and weak antibacterial properties limit their applications. Rosin is an oily pine ester in the pine family, which is a natural renewable resource with a wide range of sources. It is widely used in various fields, such as surfactants, adhesives, drug loading, antibacterial, etc. However, there are only a few reports on the application of rosin in food packaging. It is worth noting that the unique hydrogenated phenanthrene ring structure of rosin can enhance the thermal stability, hydrophobicity and antibacterial properties of food packaging. More importantly, rosin has a wide range of sources, good biocompatibility, and can be degraded in nature. These advantages are conducive to the application of rosin in food packaging. However, previous reviews focused on resins, silicone rubbers and surfactants. In this review we will focus on the application of rosin in food packaging.

Abstract
Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide, has attracted considerable attention as an environmentally friendly and highly efficient adsorbent for dye removal. It is usually produced by deacetylation or partial deacetylation of chitin. However, conventional sources of chitin and chitosan are limited, prompting the need for alternative sources with improved adsorption capabilities. Herein, this study focuses on exploring a novel chitin and chitosan source derived from the dung beetle and evaluates its potential for organic dye removal from aqueous solutions. The research involves the extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from dung beetle Heteronitis castelnaui (Harold, 1865) using various analytical techniques, including SEM, FT-IR, TGA, XRD, NMR, deacetylation degree and elemental analysis. The chitosan obtained was used for the formation of hydrogels with sodium alginate via cross-linking with calcium chloride. And then the prepared hydrogels were evaluated for its adsorption capacity through batch adsorption experiments using methylene blue as a model pollutant. The adsorption capacity for methylene blue was 1294.3 mg/g at room temperature with solution pH = 12, MB concentration of 1800 mg/L. Furthermore, the kinetics of the adsorption process were analyzed using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models to understand the rate of adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities were determined using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. This study provides valuable insights for the development of sustainable dye adsorption technologies, specifically investigating a novel chitosan source derived from the dung beetle.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds represent a common chronic condition, posing significant challenges in the treatment process due to bacterial infections, increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and exacerbated inflammation. Fenofibrate (FEN) is a clinical medication used for lipid regulation. In this study, it was utilized for the first time as an effective component of wound dressings for treating diabetic ulcers, exploring its novel applications further. Therefore, we prepared a polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/FEN (PCF) hydrogel using a freeze-thaw method and conducted physicochemical characterization of the PCF hydrogel to further elucidate its biological functions. In vitro studies demonstrated that the PCF hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility along with significant antimicrobial, pro-angiogenic, ROS-scavenging, and anti-inflammatory properties. Subsequent animal experiments indicated that the PCF hydrogel has the ability to promote blood vessel formation and collagen deposition. Additionally, the PCF hydrogel showed a significant inhibitory effect on the inflammatory response, as evidenced by the reductions in the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). These compelling findings accentuate the promising application of the PCF hydrogel in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Molecules 2024; 29:4208. [PMID: 39275056 PMCID: PMC11396924 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29174208] [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: 07/31/2024] [Revised: 08/31/2024] [Accepted: 09/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone has the ability to heal itself; however, bone defects fail to heal once the damage exceeds a critical size. Bone regeneration remains a significant clinical challenge, with autograft considered the ideal bone graft material due to its sufficient porosity, osteogenic cells, and biological growth factors. However, limitations to bone grafting, such as limited bone stock and high resorption rates, have led to a great deal of research into developing bone graft substitutes. The P28 peptide is a small molecule bioactive biomimetic alternative to mimic the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2). In this study, we investigated the potential of P28-loaded hybrid scaffolds to mimic the natural bone structure for enhancing the bone regeneration process. We hypothesized that the peptide-loaded scaffolds and nude scaffolds both have the potential to promote bone healing, and the bone healing process is accelerated by the release of the peptide. To verify our hypothesis, C2C12 cells were evaluated for the presence of calcium deposits by histological stain at 7 and 14 days in cultures with hybrid scaffolds. Total RNA was isolated from C2C12 cells cultured with hybrid scaffolds for 7 and 14 days to assess osteoblast differentiation. The project findings demonstrated that the hybrid scaffold could enhance osteoblast differentiation and significantly improve the therapeutic effects of the scaffold in bone regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, to develop efficient adsorbents in removing water pollution, new cellulose-citric acid-chitosan@metal sulfide nanocomposites (CL-CA-CS@NiS and CL-CA-CS@CuS) were synthesized by one-pot reaction at mild conditions and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) isotherm. The results of characterization techniques confirm that the desired compounds have been successfully synthesized. The as-prepared composites were applied for the removal of methyl orange (MO) dye from aqueous solutions using a batch technique, and the effect of key factors such as initial pH, shaking time, MO concentration, temperature and adsorbent dose were investigated and discussed. Adsorption results exhibited positive impact of temperature, shaking time and adsorbent dose on the MO removal percent. The MO removal percent has been increased over a wide range of pH from 2 (27.6 %) to 6 (98.8 %). Also, almost being constant over a wide range of MO concentration (10-70 mg/L). The results demonstrated that the maximum removal percentage of MO dye (98.9 % and 93.4 % using CL-CA-CS@NiS and CL-CA-CS@CuS, respectively) was achieved under the conditions of pH 6, shaking time of 120 min, adsorbent dose of 0.02 g, MO concentration of 70 mg/L and temperature of 35 °C. The pseudo-second-order (PSO) and Langmuir models demonstrated the best fit to the kinetic and equilibrium data. Also, the thermodynamic results showed that the MO removal process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature. The MO adsorption can be happened by different electrostatic attraction, n-π and π-π stacking and also hydrogen bonding interaction. In addition, antibacterial activity of CL-CA-CS@NiS and CL-CA-CS@CuS nanocomposites exhibited a superior efficiency against S. aureus.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural and renewable polysaccharide that can form biopolymers. It is derived from the deacetylation of chitin mainly from crustaceans' shells, but also from fungi and insects. Thanks to unique characteristics such as antimicrobial effects, antioxidant properties or film forming capacities, it has triggered an important amount of research in the last decade about possible applications in industrial fields. The main application field of chitosan is the food industry where it can be used for preservation purposes and shelf-life improvement for fresh food products such as fruits or meat. For beverages, it is used for clarification and fining as well as elimination of spoilage flora in beverages like fruit juices or wine. And in agriculture, it can be used as a plant protection product through different mechanisms like the elicitation of plant defences. The mechanisms of action of chitosan on microorganisms are multiple and complex but revolve mostly around the disturbance of microorganisms' membranes and cell walls resulting in the leakage of cell material. The use of chitosan is still minor but is promising in finding environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic chemicals and plastics. Therefore, its characterization is primordial for the future of sustainable production and preservation processes.

Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for 80% of primary liver cancers, is the most common primary liver malignancy. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the third leading cause of tumor-related deaths worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of approximately 18%. Chemotherapy, although commonly used for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, is limited by systemic toxicity and drug resistance. Improving targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs to tumor cells without causing systemic side effects is a current research focus. Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from chitin, possesses good biocompatibility and biodegradability, making it suitable for drug delivery. Enhanced chitosan formulations retain the anti-tumor properties while improving stability. Chitosan-based biomaterials promote hepatocellular carcinoma apoptosis, exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, inhibit tumor angiogenesis, and improve extracellular matrix remodeling for enhanced anti-tumor therapy. Methods We summarized published experimental papers by querying them. Results and Conclusions This review discusses the physicochemical properties of chitosan, its application in hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, and the challenges faced by chitosan-based biomaterials.

Abstract
Bioactive hydrogels are currently receiving significant attention. In this study, silk fibroin tyramine-modified gelatin hydrogels (SF-TG) with varying degrees of tyramine root substitution were explored. The physicochemical property and biocompatibility of low degree of substitution tyramine-modified gelatin hydrogel (SF-LTG) and high degree of substitution tyramine-modified gelatin hydrogel (SF-HTG) were compared. The results showed that SF-LTG possessed better mechanical property and higher biocompatibility. Thus, SF-LTG was selected as a bioactive matrix and loaded with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF); subsequently, curcumin-coupled chitosan rods (CCCRs-EGF) enriched with epidermal growth factor (EGF) were added to obtain SF-LTG-bFGF@CCCRs-EGF hydrogels. The results showed that SF-LTG-bFGF@CCCRs-EGF retained the basic structural and mechanical properties of the SF-LTG matrix gel material and underwent multiple loading and orderly release with different activities while displaying antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and pro-cellular proliferation activities and orderly regulation of activity during wound healing. Therefore, the SF-LTG-bFGF@CCCRs-EGF hydrogel is of great value in healing complex wounds.

Abstract
Different dyes are discharged into water streams, causing significant pollution to the entire ecosystem. The present work deals with the removal of acid red 2 dye (methyl red-as an anionic dye) by green sorbents based on chitosan derivatization. In this regard, two classes of chitosan derivatives-a total of six-were prepared by gamma irradiation at 30 kGy. The first group (group A) constitutes a crosslinked chitosan/polyacrylamide/aluminum oxide with different feed ratios, while the second group, identified as group B, is composed of crosslinked carboxymethyl chitosan/polyacrylamide/aluminum oxide with different ratios. Glycerol was added to soften the resultant hydrogels. The products were characterized by different tools, including FTIR for confirming the chemical modification, TGA for investigating their thermal properties, and XRD for verifying their crystalline structure. The morphology of the prepared derivatives was studied through SEM, while their topography before and after dye adsorption was monitored via the AFM. The removal efficiencies of the prepared sorbents were verified at different operation conditions, such as pH, temperature, adsorbent dose, initial concentration of dye solutions, and contact time. The data revealed that the optimum conditions for maximum dye uptake were as follows: pH 4, contact time 120 min, 0.1-g sorbent dose, and 50-ppm dye concentration. Additionally, the prepared sorbents demonstrated potent adsorption capacity and removal efficiency. It was found that the elements of the second group displayed higher performance than their counterparts. The data showed also that the adsorption process best fits with the Freundlich model and obeyed pseudo-first-order kinetic isotherm. In addition, the synthesized composites showed observable antibacterial potency toward E. coli as a Gram-negative bacterium and S. aureus as a Gram-positive bacterium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to develop an orthodontic cement containing chitosan and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and to investigate its antibacterial properties and biocompatibility. METHODS Chitosan and MPC were incorporated into commercial cement. The enamel bonding strength and biocompatibility of the new cement were evaluated. The antibacterial properties were assessed by examining biofilm metabolic activity and colony-forming units (CFU). An evaluation of the protein repellency of the cement was also conducted. RESULTS The new cement containing chitosan and MPC had clinically acceptable bonding strength. In comparison to the control, the novel cement demonstrated enhanced protein-repellent properties (p < 0.05), inhibited biofilm metabolic activity (p < 0.05), and reduced CFU counts (p < 0.05) without diminishing cell viability in response to cement extracts (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The synergistic application of chitosan and MPC endows the cement with potent antibacterial abilities, protein repellency, and favorable biocompatibility.

Abstract
Due to repeated microbial infection, persistent inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and cell dysfunction, chronic wounds are difficult to heal, posing a serious threat to public health. Therefore, developing multifunctional wound dressings that can regulate the complex microenvironment of chronic wounds and enhance cellular function holds great significance. Recently, chitosan has emerged as a promising biopolymer for wound healing due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and versatile bioactivity. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of delayed chronic wound healing and discuss the healing-promoting properties of chitosan and its derivatives, such as good biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, hemostatic capacity, and the ability to promote tissue regeneration. On this basis, the potential applications of chitosan-based hydrogels are summarized in chronic wound healing, including providing a suitable microenvironment, eliminating bacterial infections, promoting hemostasis, inhibiting chronic inflammation, alleviating oxidative stress, and promoting tissue regeneration. In addition, the concerns and perspectives for the clinical application of chitosan-based hydrogels are also discussed.

Abstract
An effective strategy to improve the proton conductivity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is to regulate the pore size of composite materials. In this work, composite materials of MOF-808@MOG-808-X (X is the mass ratios of MOF-808 to MOG-808) was successfully prepared by grinding and blending. MOF-808@MOG-808-1:2 was optimal for its suitable pore structure, which facilitates the practical construction of hydrogen bonding networks, promotes rapid and stable proton conduction, and enables the proton conductivity, achieving a 1 + 1 > 2 effect. At 353 K and 93% relative humidity (RH), the maximum proton conductivity of MOF-808@MOG-808-1:2 reaches 1.08 × 10-1 S·cm-1. Next, MOF-808@MOG-808-1:2 was blended with chitosan (CS) to obtain composite proton exchange membranes (PEMs), namely, CS@MOF-808@MOG-808-1:2-Y (Y = 5%, 10%, or 15%) with the maximum proton conductivity reaching 1.19 × 10-2 S·cm-1 at 353 K and 93% RH for CS@MOF-808@MOG-808-1:2-10% with additional stability. The conductive mechanisms of the composite materials were revealed by activation energy calculation. This investigation not only proposes a simple grinding-blending method for the development of MOF-doped composite materials for proton conductivity but also provides a producting material basis for future applications of MOFs in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs).

[PMID: 38973924 PMCID: PMC11223148 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
Chronic wounds containing opportunistic bacterial pathogens are a growing problem, as they are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in developing and developed nations. Bacteria can adhere to almost every surface, forming architecturally complex communities called biofilms that are tolerant to an individual's immune response and traditional treatments. Wound dressings are a primary source and potential treatment avenue for biofilm infections, and research has recently focused on using nanoparticles with antimicrobial activity for infection control. This Review categorizes nanoparticle-based approaches into four main types, each leveraging unique mechanisms against biofilms. Metallic nanoparticles, such as silver and copper, show promising data due to their ability to disrupt bacterial cell membranes and induce oxidative stress, although their effectiveness can vary based on particle size and composition. Phototherapy-based nanoparticles, utilizing either photodynamic or photothermal therapy, offer targeted microbial destruction by generating reactive oxygen species or localized heat, respectively. However, their efficacy depends on the presence of light and oxygen, potentially limiting their use in deeper or more shielded biofilms. Nanoparticles designed to disrupt extracellular polymeric substances directly target the biofilm structure, enhancing the penetration and efficacy of antimicrobial agents. Lastly, nanoparticles that induce biofilm dispersion represent a novel strategy, aiming to weaken the biofilm's defense and restore susceptibility to antimicrobials. While each method has its advantages, the selection of an appropriate nanoparticle-based treatment depends on the specific requirements of the wound environment and the type of biofilm involved. The integration of these nanoparticles into wound dressings not only promises enhanced treatment outcomes but also offers a reduction in the overall use of antibiotics, aligning with the urgent need for innovative solutions in the fight against antibiotic-tolerant infections. The overarching objective of employing these diverse nanoparticle strategies is to replace antibiotics or substantially reduce their required dosages, providing promising avenues for biofilm infection management.

Abstract
In recent years, with the booming of the edible mushroom industry, chitin production has become increasingly dependent on fungi and other non-traditional sources. Fungal chitin has advantages including superior performance, simpler separation processes, abundant raw materials, and the absence of shellfish allergens. As a kind of edible mushroom, flammulina velutipes (F. velutipes) also has the advantages of wide source and large annual yield. This provided the possibility for the extraction of chitin. Here, a procedure to extract chitin from F. velutipes waste be presented. This method comprises low-concentration acid pretreatment coupled with consolidated bioprocessing with Aspergillus niger. Characterization by SEM, FTIR, XRD, NMR, and TGA confirmed that the extracted chitin was β-chitin. To achieve optimal fermentation of F. velutipes waste (80 g/L), ammonium sulfate and glucose were selected as nitrogen and carbon sources (5 g/L), with a fermentation time of 5 days. The extracted chitin could be further deacetylated and purified to obtain high-purity chitosan (99.2 % ± 1.07 %). This chitosan exhibited a wide degree of deacetylation (50.0 % ± 1.33 % - 92.1 % ± 0.97 %) and a molecular weight distribution of 92-192 kDa. Notably, the yield of chitosan extracted in this study was increased by 56.3 % ± 0.47 % compared to the traditional chemical extraction method.

Abstract
The development of nanomaterials has been speedily established in recent years, yet nanoparticles synthesized by traditional methods suffer unacceptable toxicity and the sustainability of the procedure for synthesizing such nanoparticles is inadequate. Consequently, green biosynthesis, which employs biopolymers, is gaining attraction as an environmentally sound alternative to less sustainable approaches. Chitosan-encapsulated nanoparticles exhibit exceptional antibacterial properties, offering a wide range of uses. Chitosan, obtained from shrimp shells, aided in the environmentally friendly synthesis of high-purity zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with desirable features such as the extraction yield (41%), the deacetylation (88%), and the crystallinity index (74.54%). The particle size of ZnO NPs was 12 nm, while that of chitosan-ZnO NPs was 21 nm, and the bandgap energies of these nanomaterials were 3.98 and 3.48, respectively. The strong antibacterial action was demonstrated by ZnO NPs, chitosan-ZnO NPs, and chitosan-ZnO/PVP, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria, making them appropriate for therapeutic use. The photocatalytic degradation abilities were also assessed for all nanoparticles. At a concentration of 6 × 10-5 M, chitosan removed 90.5% of the methylene blue (MB) dye, ZnO NPs removed 97.4%, chitosan-coated ZnO NPs removed 99.6%, while chitosan-ZnO/PVP removed 100%. In the case of toluidine blue (TB), at a concentration of 4 × 10-3 M, the respective efficiencies were 96.8%, 96.8%, 99.5%, and 100%, respectively. Evaluation of radical scavenger activity revealed increased scavenging of ABTS and DPPH radicals by chitosan-ZnO/PVP compared to individual zinc oxide or chitosan-ZnO, where the IC50 results were 0.059, 0.092, 0.079 mg/mL, respectively, in the ABTS test, and 0.095, 0.083, 0.061, and 0.064 mg/mL in the DPPH test, respectively. Moreover, in silico toxicity studies were conducted to predict the organ-specific toxicity through ProTox II software. The obtained results suggest the probable safety and the absence of organ-specific toxicity with all the tested samples.

Abstract
Chitosan, a biopolymer obtained from chitin, is known for its remarkable adsorption abilities for dyes, drugs, and fats, and its diverse array of antibacterial characteristics. This study explores the extraction and characterization of chitosan from the mycelium of Amanita phalloides. The moisture content, ash content, water binding capacity, fat binding capacity, and degree of deacetylation of the extracted chitosan were determined. The chitosan exhibited a high yield of 70%, crystallinity of 49.07%, a degree of deacetylation of 86%, and potent antimicrobial properties against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The study also examined the adsorption capabilities of chitosan to remove methylene blue (MB) dye by analysing specific factors like pH, reaction time, and MB concentration using the response surface model. The highest degree of MB dye removal was 91.6% at a pH of 6, a reaction time of around 60 min and an initial dye concentration of 16 ppm. This experimental design can be applied for chitosan adsorption of other organic compounds such as dyes, proteins, drugs, and fats.

Abstract
UV-ozone activated polypropylene (PP) food films were subjected to a novel bilayer coating process involving primary or quaternary chitosan (CH/QCH) as the first layer and natural extracts from juniper needles (Juniperus oxycedrus; JUN) or blackberry leaves (Rubus fruticosus; BBL) as the second layer. This innovative approach aims to redefine active packaging (AP) development. Through a detailed analysis by surface characterization and bioactivity assessments (i.e., antioxidant and antimicrobial functionalities), we evaluated different coating combinations. Furthermore, we investigated the stability and barrier characteristics inherent in these coatings. The confirmed deposition, coupled with a comprehensive characterization of their composition and morphology, underscored the efficacy of the coatings. Our investigation included wettability assessment via contact angle (CA) measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), which revealed substantial enhancements in surface concentrations of elements and functional groups of CH, QCH, JUN, and BBL. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) unveiled the coatings' heterogeneity, while time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and CA profiling showed moderately compact bilayers on PP, providing active species on the hydrophilic surface, respectively. The coatings significantly reduced the oxygen permeability. Additionally, single-layer depositions of CH and QCH remained below the overall migration limit (OML). Remarkably, the coatings exhibited robust antioxidative properties due to plant extracts and exceptional antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, attributed to QCH. These findings underscore the pivotal role of film surface properties in governing bioactive characteristics and offer a promising pathway for enhancing food packaging functionality.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are prone to develop chronic wounds due to bacterial infection and persistent inflammatory response. However, traditional dressings are monofunctional, lack bioactive substances, have limited bacterial inhibition as well as difficulties in adhesion and retention. These limit the therapeutic efficacy of traditional dressings on diabetic wounds. Therefore, finding and developing efficient and safe wound dressings is currently an urgent clinical need. In this study, an antimicrobial gel loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) (referred to as AgNPs@QAC-CBM) was prepared by crosslinking quaternary ammonium chitosan (QAC) with carbomer (CBM) as a gel matrix. AgNPs@QAC-CBM exhibited a reticulated structure, strong adhesion, good stability, and remarkable bactericidal properties, killing 99.9% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa within 1 min. Furthermore, AgNPs@QAC-CBM improved the wound microenvironment and accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice by promoting tissue production and collagen deposition, inducing M2 macrophages, reducing pro-inflammatory factor secretion and increasing anti-inflammatory factor levels. Moreover, AgNPs@QAC-CBM was proven to be safe for use through skin irritation and cytotoxicity tests, as they did not cause any irritation or toxicity. To summarize, AgNPs@QAC-CBM showed promising potential in enhancing the diabetic wound healing process.

Abstract
Recently, the chitosan (CS)-based composites have attracted increasing attention for controlling and preventing the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. Herein, an amphiphilic copolymer containing epoxy and quaternary ammonium groups (PBGDBr) was synthesized via three common acrylate monomers. The epoxy groups of this copolymer were then crosslinked with the amino groups of CS to synthesize a natural/synthetic (PBGDBr-C) composite to increase the water solubility of CS under alkaline conditions and enhance its antibacterial activity based on chemical contact-type modes. Moreover, silver bromide nanoparticles (AgBr NPs)-decorated PBGDBr-C (AgBr@PBGDBr-C) composite was prepared, which aimed to endow the final AgBr@PBGDBr-C composite with a photodynamic antibacterial mode relying on the formation of Ag/AgBr nanostructures catalyzed by visible light on AgBr NPs. The results showed that the final composite possessed satisfactory bactericidal effects at concentrations higher than 64 and 128 μg/mL against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. Additionally, The L929 cells treated with the final composite retained high cell viability (>80 %) at a concentration of 128 μg/mL, indicating its low toxicity to L929 cells. Overall, our synthetic strategy exploits a multi-modal system that enables chemical-photodynamic synergies to treat infections caused by pathogenic bacteria while delaying the development of bacterial resistance.

Abstract
In this study, we developed a novel nanocomposite by synthesizing zinc (ZnNPs), copper (CuNPs), and silver (AgNPs) nanoparticles using olive leaf extract and incorporating them into a chitosan polymer. This approach combines the biocompatibility of chitosan with the antimicrobial and anticancer properties of metal nanoparticles, enhanced by the phytochemical richness of olive leaf extract. The significance of our research lies in its potential to offer a biodegradable and stable alternative to conventional antibiotics and cancer treatments, particularly in combating multidrug-resistant bacteria and various cancer types. Comprehensive characterization through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) confirmed the successful synthesis of the nanocomposites, with an average size of ~22.6 nm. Phytochemical analysis highlighted the antioxidant-rich composition of both the olive leaf extract and the nanoparticles themselves. Functionally, the synthesized nanoparticles exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, outperforming traditional antibiotics by inhibiting key resistance genes (ermC, tetX3-q, blaZ, and Ery-msrA). In anticancer assessments, the nanoparticles showed selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with CuNPs and AgNPs showing particularly strong anticancer effects, while demonstrating minimal toxicity towards normal cells. ZnNPs were noted for their low cytotoxicity, highlighting the safety profile of these nanoparticles. Further, the nanoparticles induced apoptosis in cancer cells, as evidenced by the modulation of oncogenes (P21, P53, and BCL2), suggesting their therapeutic potential. The findings of our study underscore the versatile applications of these biogenic nanoparticles in developing safer and more effective antimicrobial and anticancer therapies.

Abstract
A guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane can act as a barrier to prevent the invasion and interference from foreign soft tissues, promoting infiltration and proliferation of osteoblasts in the bone defect area. Herein, a composite scaffold with dual functions of osteogenesis and antibacterial effects was prepared for GBR. A polycaprolactone (PCL)/nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) aerogel produced by electrospinning and freeze-drying techniques was fabricated as the loose layer of the scaffold, while a PCL nanofiber membrane was used as the dense layer. Chitosan (CS) solution served as a middle layer to provide mechanical support and antibacterial effects between the two layers. Morphological results showed that the loose layer had a porous structure with n-HA successfully dispersed in the aerogels, while the dense layer possessed a sufficiently dense structure. In vitro antibacterial experiments illustrated that the CS solution in the middle layer stabilized the scaffold structure and endowed the scaffold with good antibacterial properties. The cytocompatibility results indicated that both fibroblasts and osteoblasts exhibited superior cell activity on the dense and loose layers, respectively. In particular, the dense layer made of nanofibers could work as a barrier layer to inhibit the infiltration of fibroblasts into the loose layer. In vitro osteogenesis analysis suggested that the PCL/n-HA aerogel could enhance the bone induction ability of bone mesenchymal stem cells, which was confirmed by the increased expression of the alkaline phosphatase activity. The loose structure facilitated the infiltration and migration of bone mesenchymal stem cells for better osteogenesis. In summary, such a composite scaffold exhibited excellent osteogenic and antibacterial properties as well as the barrier effect, thus holding promising potential for use as GBR materials.

Abstract
In clinical practice, tissue adhesives have emerged as an alternative tool for wound treatments due to their advantages in ease of use, rapid application, less pain, and minimal tissue damage. Since most tissue adhesives are designed for internal use or wound treatments, the biodegradation of adhesives is important. To endow tissue adhesives with biodegradability, in the past few decades, various biodegradable polymers, either natural polymers (such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid, gelatin, chondroitin sulfate, starch, sodium alginate, glucans, pectin, functional proteins, and peptides) or synthetic polymers (such as poly(lactic acid), polyurethanes, polycaprolactone, and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)), have been utilized to develop novel biodegradable tissue adhesives. Incorporated biodegradable polymers are degraded in vivo with time under specific conditions, leading to the destruction of the structure and the further degradation of tissue adhesives. In this review, we first summarize the strategies of utilizing biodegradable polymers to develop tissue adhesives. Furthermore, we provide a symmetric overview of the biodegradable polymers used for tissue adhesives, with a specific focus on the degradability and applications of these tissue adhesives. Additionally, the challenges and perspectives of biodegradable polymer-based tissue adhesives are discussed. We expect that this review can provide new inspirations for the design of novel biodegradable tissue adhesives for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Open globe injuries (OGIs) demand immediate attention to prevent further complications and improve vision prognosis. Herein, we developed a thermo/photo dual-crosslinking injectable hydrogel, HBC_m_Arg, for rapidly sealing OGIs in emergency ophthalmic cases. HBC_m_Arg was prepared with arginine and methacrylic anhydride modified hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC). HBC_m_Arg was initially in liquid form at 25 °C, enabling easy injection at the injury site. After reaching the ocular surface temperature, it underwent reversible heat-induced gelation to achieve in situ transformation. Further, HBC_m_Arg was capable of rapid photocrosslinking under UV light, forming a dual network structure to bolster mechanical strength, thereby facilitating effective OGI closure. Biocompatibility assessments, including in vitro studies with three ocular cell types and in vivo experiments on rabbit eyes, confirmed the safety profile of HBC_m_Arg. Ex vivo and in vivo burst pressure tests demonstrated the hydrogel's ability to promptly restore intraocular pressure and withstand elevated pressures, underscoring its potential for OGI stabilization. Additionally, the suitable degradation of HBC_m_Arg within ocular tissues, coupled with its stability in ex vivo assessments, presented a delicate balance between stability and biodegradability. In conclusion, HBC_m_Arg holds promise for improving emergency ophthalmic care by providing a rapid, effective, and safe way to seal OGIs in critical situations.

Abstract
Fruit spoilage can cause huge economic losses, in which fungal infection is one of the main influencing factors, how to effectively control mould and spoilage of fruits and prolong their shelf-life has become a primary issue in the development of fruit and vegetable industry. In this study, rosin derivative maleopimaric anhydride (MPA) was combined with biodegradable and antifungal chitosan (CS) to enhance its antifungal and preservative properties. The modified compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR spectra and XRD, and the in vitro antifungal properties of the modified compounds were evaluated by the radial growth assay and the minimal inhibitory concentration assay. The preservation effect on small mandarin oranges and longan was studied. The analysis revealed that the modification product (CSMA) of MPA access to C6-OH of CS had a better antifungal effect. In addition, CSMA was more environmentally friendly and healthier than the commercially available chemical preservative (Imazalil), and had the same antifungal preservative effect in preserving small mandarin orange, and was able to extend the shelf life to >24 d. In the preservation of longan, CSMA was more effective against tissue water loss and was able to maintain the moisture in the longan pulp and extend the shelf life. Therefore, CSMA has good application potentials in longan keeping-fresh.

Abstract
The challenges in the treatment of extensive bone defects are infection control and bone regeneration. Bone tissue engineering is currently one of the most promising strategies. In this study, a short biopeptide with specific osteogenic ability is designed by fusion peptide technology and encapsulated with chitosan-modified poly(lactic acid-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. The fusion peptide (FP) mainly consists of an osteogenic functional sequence (P-15) and a bone-specific binding sequence (Asp-6), which can regulate bone formation accurately and efficiently. Chitosan-modified PLGA with antimicrobial and pro-healing effects is used to achieve the sustained release of fusion peptides. In the early stage, the antimicrobial and soft tissue healing effects can stop the wound infection as soon as possible, which is relevant for the subsequent bone regeneration process. Our data show that CS-PLGA@FP microspheres have antibacterial and pro-cell migration effects in vitro and excellent pro-wound-healing effects in vivo. In addition, CS-PLGA@FP microspheres promote the expression of osteogenic-related factors and show excellent bone regeneration in a rat defect model. Therefore, CS-PLGA@FP microspheres are an efficient biomaterial that can accelerate the recovery of bone defects.

Abstract
The ocean is the common home of a large number of marine organisms, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. Researchers can extract thousands of important bioactive components from the oceans and use them extensively to treat and prevent diseases. In contrast, marine polysaccharide macromolecules such as alginate, carrageenan, Laminarin, fucoidan, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid have excellent physicochemical properties, good biocompatibility, and high bioactivity, which ensures their wide applications and strong therapeutic potentials in drug delivery. Drug delivery systems (DDS) based on marine polysaccharides and modified marine polysaccharide molecules have emerged as an innovative technology for controlling drug distribution on temporal, spatial, and dosage scales. They can detect and respond to external stimuli such as pH, temperature, and electric fields. These properties have led to their wide application in the design of novel drug delivery systems such as hydrogels, polymeric micelles, liposomes, microneedles, microspheres, etc. In addition, marine polysaccharide-based DDS not only have smart response properties but also can combine with the unique biological properties of the marine polysaccharide base to exert synergistic therapeutic effects. The biological activities of marine polysaccharides and the design of marine polysaccharide-based DDS are reviewed. Marine polysaccharide-based responsive DDS are expected to provide new strategies and solutions for disease treatment.

ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:14533-14547. [PMID: 38482690 PMCID: PMC10982938 DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c18772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Surface bioconjugation of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) onto nanoparticles (AMP-NP) is a complex, multistep, and time-consuming task. Herein, a microfluidic system for the one-pot production of AMP-NP was developed. Norbornene-modified chitosan was used for NP production (NorChit-NP), and thiolated-AMP was grafted on their surface via thiol-norbornene "photoclick" chemistry over exposure of two parallel UV LEDs. The MSI-78A was the AMP selected due to its high activity against a high priority (level 2) antibiotic-resistant gastric pathogen: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). AMP-NP (113 ± 43 nm; zeta potential 14.3 ± 7 mV) were stable in gastric settings without a cross-linker (up to 5 days in pH 1.2) and bactericidal against two highly pathogenic H. pylori strains (1011 NP/mL with 96 μg/mL MSI-78A). Eradication was faster for H. pylori 26695 (30 min) than for H. pylori J99 (24 h), which was explained by the lower minimum bactericidal concentration of soluble MSI-78A for H. pylori 26695 (32 μg/mL) than for H. pylori J99 (128 μg/mL). AMP-NP was bactericidal by inducing H. pylori cell membrane alterations, intracellular reorganization, generation of extracellular vesicles, and leakage of cytoplasmic contents (transmission electron microscopy). Moreover, NP were not cytotoxic against two gastric cell lines (AGS and MKN74, ATCC) at bactericidal concentrations. Overall, the designed microfluidic setup is a greener, simpler, and faster approach than the conventional methods to obtain AMP-NP. This technology can be further explored for the bioconjugation of other thiolated-compounds.

Abstract
A new chitosan-based protective film containing rosemarinic acid (0.282% w/w) has been elaborated. The film was formed from a water-oil emulsion system and applied to poultry meat samples using a dip-coating technique. Various physicochemical parameters of the coatings, such as thickness, Young's modulus, elongation at break, water vapor transmission rates, and antioxidant activity, were tested with free-standing film samples peeled from a Petri dish. Compared to neat chitosan films obtained similarly, new films cast from the emulsion showed significantly better elasticity (Young's modulus was diminished from 1458 MPa to about 29 MPa). Additionally, barrier properties for moisture transition decreased from 7.3 to 5.8 g mm m-2 day-1 kPa-1. The coated poultry samples were subsequently evaluated in juxtaposition with uncoated ones in a storage test. Levels of selected biogenic amines (histamine, tyramine, tryptamine, phenylethylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermine, and spermidine), total bacterial count, and lipid oxidation levels in the meat samples were analyzed during storage at 4 °C (up to 96 h). The results obtained for the biogenic amines, total bacterial content, calculated biogenic amine index, and the ratio of spermidine to spermine in meat samples suggest the advantage of the proposed coatings with rosmarinic acid in protecting poultry meat against environmental factors and rapid spoilage.

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
Skin regeneration is the process that restores damaged tissues. When the body experiences trauma or surgical incisions, the skin and tissues on the wound surface become damaged. The body repairs this damage through complex physiological processes to restore the original structural and functional states of the affected tissues. Chitosan, a degradable natural bioactive polysaccharide, has attracted widespread attention partly owing to its excellent biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties; additionally, a modified form of this compound has been shown to promote skin regeneration. This review evaluates the recent research progress in the application of chitosan to promote skin regeneration. First, we discuss the basic principles of the extraction and preparation processes of chitosan from its source. Subsequently, we describe the functional properties of chitosan and the optimization of these properties through modification. We then focus on the existing chitosan-based biomaterials developed for clinical applications and their corresponding effects on skin regeneration, particularly in cases of diabetic and burn wounds. Finally, we explore the challenges and prospects associated with the use of chitosan in skin regeneration. Overall, this review provides a reference for related research and contributes to the further development of chitosan-based products in cutaneous skin regeneration.

Abstract
Wound management practices have made significant advancements, yet the search for improved antiseptics persists. In our pursuit of solutions that not only prevent infections but also address broader aspects of wound care, we investigated the impact of integrating trimethyl chitosan (TMC) into a widely used poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-iodine gel (PVP-I gel). Our study assessed the antimicrobial efficacy of the PVP gel with TMC against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, multidrug-resistant S. aureus MRSA, and Candida albicans. Additionally, we compared hemostatic effects using a liver puncture bleeding model and evaluated wound healing through histological sections from full-thickness dermal wounds in rats. The results indicate that incorporating TMC into the commercially available PVP-I gel did not compromise its antimicrobial activity. The incorporation of TMC into the PVP-I gel markedly improves its hemostatic activity. The regular application of the PVP-I gel with TMC resulted in an increased blood vessel count in the wound bed and facilitated the development of thicker fibrous tissue with a regenerated epidermal layer. These findings suggest that TMC contributes not only to antimicrobial activity but also to the intricate processes of tissue regeneration. In conclusion, incorporating TMC proves beneficial, making it a valuable additive to commercially available antiseptic agents.

Abstract
Chitosan, a well-established biomaterial known for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity, has been the focus of extensive research in recent years. This study explores the enhancement of chitosan fibers' properties through wet impregnation with either ursolic acid (UA) or cross-linking with tripolyphosphate (TPP). In the first experiment, chitosan fibers were treated with UA, for varying immersion set points (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h). FTIR, SEM, and UV-Vis spectroscopy analyses demonstrated a chemical reaction between chitosan and UA, with stability reached after 2 h of immersion. Antibacterial testing revealed that chitosan fibers impregnated with UA exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, notably Staphylococcus aureus. The second experiment involved modifying chitosan fibers' surfaces with a 1% w/v TPP solution for the same periods of time (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 h). Subsequently, the investigation involved FTIR, SEM, and dynamometry analyses, which revealed successful cross-linking between chitosan and TPP ions, resulting in improved tensile strength after 2 h of immersion. This dual-approach study highlights the potential of chitosan fibers for diverse applications, from wound-healing dressings to antibacterial materials against Gram-positive bacteria.

[PMID: 38008474 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121567] [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: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/28/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan is a widely available polymer with a reasonably high abundance, as well as a sustainable, biodegradable, and biocompatible material with different functional groups that are used in a wide range of operations. Chitosan is frequently employed in widespread applications such as environmental remediation, adsorption, catalysts, and drug formulation. The goal of this review is to discuss the potential applications of chitosan and its chemically modified solids as a catalyst in biodiesel production. The existing manuscripts are integrated based on the nature of materials used as chitosan and its modifications. A short overview of chitosan's structural characteristics, properties, and some ideal methods to be considered in catalysis activities are addressed. This article includes an analysis of a chitosan-based scientometric conducted between 1975 and 2023 using VOS viewer 1.6.19. To identify developments and technological advances in chitosan research, the significant scientometric features of yearly publication results, documents country network, co-authorship network, documents funding sponsor, documents institution network, and documents category in domain analysis were examined. This review covers a variety of organic transformations and their effects, including chitosan reactions against acids, bases, metals, metal oxides, organic compounds, lipases, and Knoevenagel condensation. The catalytic capabilities of chitosan and its modified structures for producing biodiesel through transesterification reactions are explored in depth.

Optimize the parameters for the synthesis by the ionic gelation technique, purification, and freeze-drying of chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate nanoparticles for biomedical purposes. J Biol Eng 2024; 18:12. [PMID: 38273413 PMCID: PMC10811841 DOI: 10.1186/s13036-024-00403-w] [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: 01/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymeric nanoparticles can be used for wound closure and therapeutic compound delivery, among other biomedical applications. Although there are several nanoparticle obtention methods, it is crucial to know the adequate parameters to achieve better results. Therefore, the objective of this study was to optimize the parameters for the synthesis, purification, and freeze-drying of chitosan nanoparticles. We evaluated the conditions of agitation speed, anion addition time, solution pH, and chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate concentration. RESULTS Chitosan nanoparticles presented an average particle size of 172.8 ± 3.937 nm, PDI of 0.166 ± 0.008, and zeta potential of 25.00 ± 0.79 mV, at the concentration of 0.1% sodium tripolyphosphate and chitosan (pH 5.5), with a dripping time of 2 min at 500 rpm. The most representative factor during nanoparticle fabrication was the pH of the chitosan solution, generating significant changes in particle size and polydispersity index. The observed behavior is attributed to the possible excess of sodium tripolyphosphate during synthesis. We added the surfactants poloxamer 188 and polysorbate 80 to evaluate the stability improvement during purification (centrifugation or dialysis). These surfactants decreased coalescence between nanoparticles, especially during purification. The centrifugation increased the zeta potential to 40.8-56.2 mV values, while the dialyzed samples led to smaller particle sizes (152-184 nm). Finally, freeze-drying of the chitosan nanoparticles proceeded using two cryoprotectants, trehalose and sucrose. Both adequately protected the system during the process, and the sugar concentration depended on the purification process. CONCLUSIONS In Conclusion, we must consider each surfactant's benefits in formulations for selecting the most suitable. Also, it is necessary to do more studies with the molecule to load. At the same time, the use of sucrose and trehalose generates adequate protection against the freeze-drying process, even at a 5% w/v concentration. However, adjusting the percentage concentration by weight must be made to work with the CS-TPP NPs purified by dialysis.

Abstract
The bioactivities of pristine chitosan are considerable weak compared with the commercial chemicals, which has restricted its broad application prospects in food packaging and preservation. In order to obtain a safe, biologically derived fruits preservative with excellent antifungal properties, dehydroabietic acid (DHA) was used to modify chitosan (CS). The structural characterization of modified chitosans were identified by FTIR and 1H NMR spectra. The XRD pattern showed the modified chitosan changed the crystal structure due to the modification of the amino and/or hydroxyl groups on the chitosan. Their antifungal activities against Penicillium digitutim and Penicillium italicum were investigated in vitro using the radial growth assay and the minimal inhibitory concentration assay. The study also examined the differences in antifungal effect among three modified chitosans. The results showed that DHA only conjugated thehydroxyl group at C-6, bearing free amino group at C-2, exhibited the strongest antifungal effect, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 200 μg/mL. In addition, a comparison of the antifungal activity of the modified compounds with different concentrations of Imazalil demonstrated that the modified biologic antifungal agent was as effective as Imazalil. CSDA can achieve 100 % inhibition of P. digitutim at concentrations >100 μg/mL and remain unchanged for a long time. Because CSDA can enhance the shelf life of longans, DHA-CS, chitosan derivatives, have tremendous promise for use in fruits preservation.

Abstract
In this study, we sought to synthesize chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) and characterize their morphology, efficacy in inhibiting bacterial attachment, and efficacy in eradicating bacteria established on implantable hardware. CS-NPs possess desirable properties, including antibacterial properties in biofilm-mediated infections. CS-NPs were produced using ionic gelation and characterized via scanning electron microscope imaging. Staphylococcus aureus was incubated with CS-NPs at various concentrations and compared to a 1% povidone-iodine with 1% H2 O2 control in 24-well plates. Stainless steel bone screws were placed in six-well plates and inoculated with S. aureus. After 24 h, the screws were transferred to one of three solutions (saline, 40 mg/mL CS-NP, or 1% povidone-iodine with 1% H2 O2 ). Four screws from each group were vortexed in saline and plated. The remaining screw from each group was prepped and imaged to map the location of persistent bacteria. Synthesized CS-NPs had a mean diameter of 0.39 ± 0.13 μm and circularity of 0.87 ± 0.05. The percent inhibition of bacterial attachment was 73% at 20 mg/mL, 73% at 30 mg/mL, 75% at 40 mg/mL, 79% at 50 mg/mL, and 78% at 60 mg/mL. When compared to saline, the 40 mg/mL CS-NP solution reduced bacteria on the screws by 76%. No bacteria were retrieved from the 1% povidone-iodine with 1% H2 O2 group. This study demonstrated that CS-NP solution effectively inhibited S. aureus bacterial attachment and was more effective than saline in eradicating bacteria from orthopedic hardware, suggesting that CS-NPs have the potential for prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal infections as a component of an intraoperative surgical irrigation solution.

Abstract
A large number of hydrogen bonds is the main reason for hindering the dissolution and reaction of chitin, and a mild and green deacetylation method to prepare chitosan for a wider range of applications is urgent. As a non-toxic and degradable green solvent, the deep eutectic solvent can effectively interfere with the hydrogen bond network of chitin, making chitin more susceptible to other solvents. Therefore, a NADES system consisting of betaine and glycerol was proposed for application in the deacetylation reaction of chitin to facilitate further attack of N-acetyl groups by low concentrations of NaOH. After optimizing the reaction conditions, chitosan with 83.77 % deacetylation was prepared, requiring only a concentration of 25 wt% NaOH. The analysis of the product chitosan showed that NADES could not only effectively improve the degree of deacetylation, but also reduce the degree of damage to the molecular weight by alkali. In addition, the potential mechanisms involved in the deacetylation process by NADES were explored. The nature of the reaction was verified by FT-IR, XRD and theoretical calculations as the process of opening intra/intermolecular hydrogen bonds of chitin by NADES. More importantly, experimental and in-depth theoretical studies provide a reference for the green preparation of chitosan.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126795. [PMID: 37689304 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126795] [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: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023]
Abstract
Dicranopteris linearis (DL) is a fern in the Gleicheniaceae family, locally known as resam by the Malay community. It has numerous pharmacological benefits, with antiulcer and gastroprotective properties. Peptic ulcer is a chronic and recurring disease that significantly impacts morbidity and mortality, affecting nearly 20 % of the world's population. Despite the effectiveness of peptic ulcer drugs, there is no perfect treatment for the ailment. Encapsulation is an advanced technique that can treat peptic ulcers by incorporating natural sources. This work aims to encapsulate DL extract using different types of cellulose particles by the solvent displacement technique for peptic ulcer medication. The extract was encapsulated using methyl cellulose (MC), ethyl cellulose (EC), and a blend of ethyl methyl cellulose through a dialysis cellulose membrane tube and freeze-dried to yield a suspension of the encapsulated DL extracts. The microencapsulated methyl cellulose chloroform extract (MCCH) has a considerably greater level of total phenolic (84.53 ± 6.44 mg GAE/g), total flavonoid (84.53 ± 0.54 mg GAE/g), and antioxidant activity (86.40 ± 0.63 %). MCCH has the highest percentage of antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (2.42 ± 107 × 0.70 CFU/mL), Bacillus subtilis (5.21 ± 107 × 0.90 CFU/mL), and Shigella flexneri (1.25 ± 107 × 0.66 CFU/mL), as well as the highest urease inhibitory activity (50.0 ± 0.21 %). The MCCH particle size was estimated to be 3.347 ± 0.078 μm in diameter. It has been proven that DL elements were successfully encapsulated in the methyl cellulose polymer in the presence of calcium (Ca). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis indicated significant results, where the peak belonging to the CO stretch of the carbonyl groups of methyl cellulose (MC) shifted from 1638.46 cm-1 in the spectrum of pure MC to 1639.10 cm-1 in the spectrum of the MCCH extract. The shift in the wavenumbers was due to the interactions between the phytochemicals in the chloroform extract and the MC matrix in the microcapsules. Dissolution studies in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and model fitting of encapsulated chloroform extracts showed that MCCH has the highest EC50 of 6.73 ± 0.27 mg/mL with R2 = 0.971 fitted by the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, indicating diffusion as the mechanism of release.
