  • Preparation and properties of photo-crosslinkable hydrogel based on photopolymerizable Chitosan Derivative.
    International journal of biological macromolecules, 2012
    Co-Authors: Zhiliang Wang, Jun Nie
    Abstract:

    Abstract Photopolymerizable Chitosan Derivative was synthesized by Chitosan and methyl acroloyl glycine (MAG). The chemical structures and physical properties were characterized by FT-IR, 1 H NMR, XRD and TGA. The thermal stability of Chitosan Derivative was lower than Chitosan. The Chitosan Derivative was amorphous compared with the high degree crystallization of Chitosan. The hydrogels were prepared based on Chitosan Derivative via photopolymerization with different concentrations of photoinitiator 2959. The surface of hydrogel showed porous network and the pore size distribution tended to become homogeneous with the increase of the concentration of 2959, while the swelling property decreased due to more crosslinking.

  • application of a fiber reactive Chitosan Derivative to cotton fabric as an antimicrobial textile finish
    Carbohydrate Polymers, 2004
    Co-Authors: Samuel M Hudson
    Abstract:

    A fiber-reactive Chitosan Derivative, O-acrylamidomethyl-N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl] Chitosan chloride (NMA-HTCC), was applied to cotton fabrics by a cold pad-batch method in the presence of an alkaline catalyst to evaluate its use as a durable antimicrobial textile finish. The antimicrobial activities of the NMA-HTCC treated cotton fabrics were evaluated quantitatively against Staphylococcus aureus. The cotton treated with NMA-HTCC at a concentration of 1% on weight of fabric showed 100% of bacterial reduction. The activity was maintained over 99% even after being exposed to 50 consecutive home laundering condition. The effect of an anionic surfactant on the antimicrobial activity of the NMA-HTCC treated fabric was discussed.

  • synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a water soluble Chitosan Derivative with a fiber reactive group
    Carbohydrate Research, 2004
    Co-Authors: Sanghoon Lim, Samuel M Hudson
    Abstract:

    Abstract A novel fiber-reactive Chitosan Derivative was synthesized in two steps from a Chitosan of low molecular weight and low degree of acetylation. First, a water-soluble Chitosan Derivative, N -[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl]Chitosan chloride (HTCC), was prepared by introducing quaternary ammonium salt groups on the amino groups of Chitosan. This Derivative was further modified by introducing functional (acrylamidomethyl) groups, which can form covalent bonds with cellulose under alkaline conditions, on the primary alcohol groups (C-6) of the Chitosan backbone. The fiber-reactive Chitosan Derivative, O -acrylamidomethyl-HTCC (NMA–HTCC), showed complete bacterial reduction within 20 min at the concentration of 10 ppm, when contacted with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (1.5–2.5 × 10 5 colony forming units per milliliter [CFU/mL]).

    International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020
    Co-Authors: Wenqiang Tan, Jingjing Zhang, Fang Dong, Zhanyong Guo
    Abstract:

    Abstract As one of the most promising biopolymers for a variety of potential applications, Chitosan has attracted much attention because of its unique biological, chemical, and physical properties. The functionalization of Chitosan has been adopted to synthesize novel Chitosan Derivatives with improved water-solubility and excellent biological activities. In this paper, Chitosan was functionalized with a triphenylphosphonium group by means of the copper (I) catalyzed azide-alkyne “click” reaction and has been investigated as potential polymer for agricultural antifungal biomaterial. The influence of chemical modification on the structural characteristics and water-solubility of Chitosan was investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and UV–vis spectrum. Furthermore, the antifungal property of target Chitosan Derivative against four plant threatening fungal pathogens was evaluated and in vitro investigation demonstrated that triphenylphosphonium salt incorporated Chitosan backbone had excellent antifungal property compared with Chitosan and intermediate Chitosan Derivative. Notably, target Chitosan Derivative displayed relatively strongest antifungal effect with over 80% inhibitory index against Botrytis cinerea at 1.0 mg/mL. The results of a detailed antifungal study indicated that cationic Chitosan Derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole and triphenylphosphonium moieties provided a promising platform for preparation of novel cationic antifungal biomaterials in the field of agriculture.

  • synthesis characterization and evaluation of antifungal and antioxidant properties of cationic Chitosan Derivative via azide alkyne click reaction
    International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
    Co-Authors: Wenqiang Tan, Jingjing Zhang, Fang Dong, Zhanyong Guo
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this work, quaternary ammonium group was introduced into Chitosan backbone by cuprous-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) to synthesize the cationic Chitosan Derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole. The products were identified structurally by FTIR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, XRD, and elemental analysis. The water solubility of Chitosan Derivatives at different pH values was determined by a turbidity measurement. The antifungal properties of cationic Chitosan Derivatives against Botryis cinerea, Phomopsis asparagi, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerium were evaluated using the radial growth assay. Besides, the antioxidant activities of them were also tested by superoxide-radical scavenging and reducing power assays. Compared to Chitosan, cationic Chitosan Derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole showed the good water solubility especially at alkaline condition, excellent antifungal action with over 70% inhibitory indices against tested fungi at 1.0 mg/mL, and enhanced antioxidant activity with complete scavenging efficiency against superoxide-radical at 1.6 mg/mL because of the introduction of 1,2,3-triazole and quaternary ammonium moieties. These excellent biological properties present a promising prospect for this Chitosan Derivative in antifungal and antioxidant biomaterials.

  • novel cationic Chitosan Derivative bearing 1 2 3 triazolium and pyridinium synthesis characterization and antifungal property
    Carbohydrate Polymers, 2018
    Co-Authors: Wenqiang Tan, Jingjing Zhang, Fang Dong, Fang Luan, Lijie Wei, Yuan Chen, Zhanyong Guo
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper, novel cationic Chitosan Derivative possessing 1,2,3-triazolium and pyridinium groups was synthesized conveniently via cuprous-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and methylation. FTIR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis examined the structural characteristics of the synthesized Derivatives. The antifungal efficiencies of Chitosan Derivatives against three plant-threatening fungi were assayed by hypha measurement in vitro. The determination showed that Chitosan Derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazolium and pyridinium displayed tremendously enhanced antifungal activity as compared with Chitosan and Chitosan Derivative bearing 1,2,3-triazole and pyridine. Notably, the inhibitory indices of it against Colletotrichum lagenarium attained 98% above at 1.0 mg/mL. The results showed that N-methylation of 1,2,3-triazole and pyridine could effectively enhance antifungal activity of the synthesized Chitosan Derivatives. Besides, the prepared Chitosan Derivatives showed non-toxic effect on cucumber seedlings. This synthetic strategy might provide an effective way and notion to prepare novel cationic Chitosan antifungal biomaterials.

    Carbohydrate Polymers, 2010
    Co-Authors: Xuanyue Gao, Dongzhi Yang, Yingshan Zhou, Suqing Shi, Jun Nie
    Abstract:

    Abstract With the goal of obtaining photopolymerized hydrogels for use as tissue engineering scaffolds, a water-soluble (methacryloyloxy) ethyl carboxyethyl Chitosan was prepared as a photopolymerizable prepolymer through Michael-addition reaction between Chitosan and ethylene glycol acrylate methacrylate. N-substitution of Chitosan was verified by both 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR The degree of N-substitution, measured via 1 H NMR, was easily varied from 0.10 to 0.35 by varying the molar ratio of ethylene glycol acrylate methacrylate to Chitosan. Using a Vero cell line, the water-soluble photocrosslinkable Chitosan Derivative was found to be noncytotoxic up to a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. The precursor was blended with D-2959 photoinitiator in solution, and UV-irradiated to create hydrogels. FTIR verified the nearly complete conversion of the double bonds in the gel. Indirect cytotoxicity assessment of the hydrogel indicated that the hydrogel was non-toxic to Vero cells.
