Abstract
Chitosan-gallic acid conjugates were synthesized by carbodiimide method and characterized by physicochemical methods (UV–vis, FTIR, 1H NMR, TGA). The FTIR and NMR assays confirmed that the chemical interaction occurred solely due to the formation of an amide bond. It was established that by varying the ratio of the components during synthesis it is possible to obtain conjugates with desired conjugation ratio, grafting efficiency and gallic acid content up to 8.09 ± 1.72 %, 70.51 ± 9.45 % and 79.9 ± 2.4 μg gallic acid/mg chitosan, respectively. Chitosan-gallic acid conjugate with a 5 % conjugation ratio demonstrated excellent antioxidant properties: the IC50 value for ABTS radical scavenging activity was 0.0073 ± 0.0001 mg/mL. In vitro tests showed that conjugation of chitosan with gallic acid provided the antiglycemic activity of the material and its good biocompatibility. A low level of cytotoxicity was recorded in the HaCaT cell line model (IC50 was 1030.4 μg/mL). The received eco-friendly chitosan-gallic acid conjugate effectively inhibited the growth of thermophilic spore-forming bacteria G. thermodenitrificans and the resistant to classical antibiotics strain A. palidus. The results of an in vivo comparative analysis showed that chitosan-gallic acid conjugate had excellent wound healing properties due to the synergism of the polysaccharide and the natural antioxidant.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
