Abstract
Chitin derivatives (CDs), including chitosan (CS), chitooligosaccharides (COS), and glucosamine (GlcN), were administrated in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. UC symptoms such as body weight loss, reduced food intake, and increased disease activity index were relieved (except GlcNL group). CDs (except GlcNL) exerted a strong protective effect on colon length and colonic structure. Treatment with CDs (except GlcNL) increased IL-10 level, reduced levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, myeloperoxidase, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and enhanced expression of tight junction proteins significantly. CDs (except GlcNL) significantly upregulated IκB-α level, and downregulated p65 and p38 phosphory lation and TLR-4 mRNA transcription level, indicating inhibition of TRL-4/NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway activity. CD treatments increased relative abundance of gut microbiota, modulated its composition, and increased the concentrations of SCFAs. Our findings indicate that CDs exert an ameliorative effect on UC by change of gut microbiota composition and restoration of intestinal barrier function.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop a transdermal delivery system consisting of a glucosamine sulfate-laden xanthan hydrogel containing a nanoemulsion-loaded diacerein. The system was intended to prevent cartilage degradation typical of osteoarthritis. The nanoemulsion, made of soybean oil as the oil phase; soybean lecithin, Tween 80, and poloxamer 407 as surfactants; and propylene glycol as cosurfactant, was formed within the hydrogel. The hydrodynamic diameter of the nanoemulsion globules was 81.95 ± 0.256 nm with 0.285 ± 0.036 of PDI value and the zeta potential value of the formulation was 39.33 ± 0.812 mV. CryoSEM and TEM studies revealed the uniform morphology of the vehicle. A rheological study exposed the nanoemulsion-loaded hydrogel as a thixotropic system. Satisfactory storage stability under ICH conditions was established by the zeta potential and rheological studies. Furthermore, skin biocompatibility of the hydrogel was ascertained on the basis of skin irritation study. Additionally, the diffusion of the drugs across rat skin followed a controlled non-Fickian anomalous steady mechanism. Following in vivo administration in experimental osteoarthritis, the transdermal hydrogel showed a reduction in tumor necrosis factor-alpha, C-reactive protein, high mobility group box protein, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. Finally, histopathological analysis of the animals showed satisfactory chondroprotection in the in vivo study. In conclusion, the developed transdermal systems showed a potential against the progression of experimental osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Abstract
A series of glycosyl-substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazoles were synthesized by cyclization of glycosyl-acylthiosemicarbazides via a base-catalyzed reaction. The starting glycosyl-acylthiosemicarbazide derivatives were obtained by the reaction of glycosyl isothiocyanate with various hydrazides. The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities of the products were tested by Ellman’s method. The most active compounds were subsequently evaluated for the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values. N-(1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amine (6i) possesses the best AChE -inhibition activity with an IC50 of 1.61±0.34 μm.

Anti-inflammatory effects in a mouse osteoarthritis model of a mixture of glucosamine and chitooligosaccharides produced by bi-enzyme single-step hydrolysis. Sci Rep 2018; 8:5624.

Abstract
We developed a novel technique of bi-enzyme single-step hydrolysis, using recombinant chitosanase (McChoA) and exo-β-D-glucosaminidase (AorCsxA) constructed previously in our lab, to degrade chitosan. The hydrolysis product was shown by HPLC, FTIR, and chemical analyses to be a mixture (termed “GC”) composed primarily of glucosamine (80.00%) and chitooligosaccharides (9.80%). We performed experiments with a mouse osteoarthritis (OA) model to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of GC against OA. The three “GC groups” (which underwent knee joint damage followed by oral administration of GC at concentrations 40, 80, and 160 mg/kg·bw·d for 15 days) showed significantly downregulated serum expression of pre-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), and significant, dose-dependent enhancement of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-2, in comparison with Model group. Levels of C-reactive protein, which typically rise in response to inflammatory processes, were significantly lower in the GC groups than in Model group. Thymus index and levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) were higher in the GC groups. Knee joint swelling was relieved and typical OA symptoms were partially ameliorated in the GC-treated groups. Our findings indicate that GC has strong anti-inflammatory effects and potential as a therapeutic agent against OA and other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In order to overcome the defects of chemical hydrolysis approach to prepare glucosamine, an enzymatic hydrolysis method was developed. METHODS Glucosamine was prepared by hydrolyzing chitosan, employing α-amylase initially, and subsequently, glucoamylase. RESULTS The optimal hydrolyzing conditions were as follows: reaction time, 4 h; pH, 5.0; temperature, 50 °C; and, α-amylase, 80 U/g for the initial reaction. Subsequently, glucoamylase was added in the presence of α-amylase. The optimal reaction conditions were found to be: reaction time, 8 h; pH, 4.5; temperature, 55 °C; and, glucoamylase, 4000 U/g. The hydrolysates were subject to filtrating, concentrating to about 20% (w/w), precipitating with five volumes of ethanol, and drying at 60 °C for 2 h. The content and the yield of glucosamine in the dried precipitate were 91.3% (w/w) and 86.2% (w/w), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The method developed in this study is a promising option in the preparation of glucosamine.
