Synthesis and toxicological study of chitosan-pirul (Schinus molle L.) essential oil nanoparticles on Aspergillus flavus. Arch Microbiol 2024; 206:133. [PMID: 38430254 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-03859-y] [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: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, the study of essential oils as antifungal alternatives and their encapsulation to increase their properties for greater effects has been tested. In this work, nanoparticles of chitosan-Schinus molle L. essential oil (CS-PEO-Np) with a size of 260 ± 31.1 nm were obtained by ionic gelation and evaluated in some growth phases of Aspergillus flavus, a toxigenic fungus. At a concentration of 250 μg/mL of CS-PEO-Np, the A. flavus mycelial growth was inhibited at 97.1% with respect to control, at 96 h of incubation; the germination and viability of spores were inhibited at 74.8 and 40%, respectively, after exposure to 500 μg/mL of these nanomaterials, at 12 h of incubation. The fluorescence images of stained spores with DAPI showed the affectations caused by nanoparticles in the cell membrane, vacuoles and vacuolar content, cell wall, and nucleic acids. For both nanoparticles, CS-Np and CS-PEO-Np, no mutagenic effect was observed in Salmonella Typhimurium; also, the phytotoxic assay showed low-to-moderate toxicity toward seeds, which was dependent on the nanoparticle's concentration. The acute toxicity of CS-PEO-Np to A. salina nauplii was considered low in comparison to CS-Np (control), which indicates that the incorporation of Schinus molle essential oil into nanoparticles of chitosan is a strategy to reduce the toxicity commonly associated with nanostructured materials. The nanoparticulated systems of CS-PEO-Np represent an effective and non-toxic alternative for the control of toxigenic fungi such as A. flavus by delaying the initial growth stage.

Abstract
There is plenty of scope for modifying chitosan, an only polycationic natural polysaccharide, owing to its reactive functional groups, namely hydroxyl and amino groups. Although innumerable numbers of chitosan derivatives have been synthesized by modifying these groups and reported elsewhere, in this review article, an attempt has been exclusively made to demonstrate the syntheses of various chitosan-based Schiff bases (CSBs) simply by allowing the reactions of reactive amino groups of chitosan with different aldehydes/ketones of interest. Due to their very peculiar and unique characteristics, such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, metal-binding capability, etc., they are found to be very useful for diversified applications. Thus, we have also attempted to showcase their very specific biomedical fields, including tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wound healing, to name a few. In addition, we have also discussed the utilization of CSBs for industrial applications such as wastewater treatment, catalysis, corrosion inhibition, sensors, etc.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global health and food security today. It becomes increasingly difficult to treat infectious disorders because antibiotics, even the newest ones, are becoming less and less effective. One of the ways taken in the Global Plan of Action announced at the World Health Assembly in May 2015 is to ensure the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. In order to do so, attempts are made to develop new antimicrobial therapeutics, including biomaterials with antibacterial activity, such as polycationic polymers, polypeptides, and polymeric systems, to provide non-antibiotic therapeutic agents, such as selected biologically active nanoparticles and chemical compounds. Another key issue is preventing food from contamination by developing antibacterial packaging materials, particularly based on degradable polymers and biocomposites. This review, in a cross-sectional way, describes the most significant research activities conducted in recent years in the field of the development of polymeric materials and polymer composites with antibacterial properties. We particularly focus on natural polymers, i.e., polysaccharides and polypeptides, which present a mechanism for combating many highly pathogenic microorganisms. We also attempt to use this knowledge to obtain synthetic polymers with similar antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Chitin is a natural renewable and useful biopolymer limited by its insolubility; chemical derivatization can enhance the solubility and bioactivity of chitin. The purpose of this study was to synthesize novel water-soluble chitin derivatives, sulfo-chitin (SCT) and sulfopropyl-chitin (SPCT), as antioxidant and antifungal agents. The target derivatives were characterized by means of elemental analysis, FTIR, 13C NMR, TGA and XRD. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of the chitin derivatives was estimated by free radical scavenging ability (against DPPH-radical, hydroxyl-radical and superoxide-radical) and ferric reducing power. In addition, inhibitory effects against four fungi were also tested. The findings show that antioxidant abilities and antifungal properties were in order of SPCT > SCT > CT. On the basis of the results obtained, we confirmed that the introduction of sulfonated groups on the CT backbone would help improve the antioxidant and antifungal activity of CT. Moreover, its efficacy as an antioxidant and antifungal agent increased as the chain length of the substituents increased. This derivatization strategy might provide a feasible way to broaden the utilization of chitin. It is of great significance to minimize waste and realize the high-value utilization of aquatic product wastes.

Abstract
Coagulation is a potential defense mechanism that involves activating a series of zymogens to convert soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin clots to prevent bleeding and hemorrhagic complications. To prevent the extra formation and diffusion of clots, the counterbalance inhibitory mechanism is activated at levels of the coagulation pathway. Contrariwise, this system can evade normal control due to either inherited or acquired defects or aging which leads to unusual clots formation. The abnormal formations and deposition of excess fibrin trigger serious arterial and cardiovascular diseases. Although heparin and heparin-based anticoagulants are a widely prescribed class of anticoagulants, the clinical use of heparin has limitations due to the unpredictable anticoagulation, risk of bleeding, and other complications. Hence, significant interest has been established over the years to investigate alternative therapeutic anticoagulants from natural sources, especially from marine sources with good safety and potency due to their unique chemical structure and biological activity. This review summarizes the coagulation cascade and potential macromolecular anticoagulants derived from marine flora and fauna.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) derivatives with improved water solubility, antibacterial activity and adequate biocompatibility are attracting increasingly interest in medical application. Herein, we have successfully synthesized isocyanate terminated quaternary ammonium salt (IQAS) and sulfopropylbetaine (ISB) to be readily covalently bounded to CS skeleton by selective reaction with amino and hydroxyl groups. And their molecular structures and crystallinity were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray diffraction. The effect of the substitution degree, carbon chain length, content ratio of IQAS/ISB on their water solubility, antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity were systematically investigated, which shows that those properties of the CS derivatives can be tailored by adjusting the grafted antibacterial agents and their additive amount. The structure-property relationship of these CS derivatives may provide a solid guidance on the development of CS derivatives for more efficient practical applications.

Abstract
In this work, chitosan derivatives modified with Schiff base bearing benzenoid/heterocyclic moieties were successfully prepared via amidation reaction. Specific structural characterization was implemented using FTIR and 1H NMR, and the DS of chitosan derivatives were quantitatively calculated by ratio of hydrogen proton integral. Meanwhile, the antifungal activity against two common plant pathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense and Glomerella cingulata) was assayed in vitro by hyphal measurement, and data proved that the introduction of functional groups including benzene/heterocyclic compounds and Schiff base groups greatly enhanced the antifungal activity. Besides, the antioxidant efficiency was investigated in vitro, and all chitosan derivatives exhibited significantly increased antioxidant activity. Specially, the scavenging effect of 2SATCS was 96.62% at 1.6 mg/mL, which was close to the positive control VC (98.84%). These results indicated that chitosan derivatives with enhanced antifungal and antioxidant activities could serve as potential biomaterial for antifungal and antioxidant applications.

Abstract
Over the last years, chitosan has demonstrated unparalleled characteristics for regenerative medicine applications. Beside excellent antimicrobial and wound healing properties, this polysaccharide biopolymer offers favorable characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and film and fiber-forming capabilities. Having plentiful active amine groups, chitosan can be also readily modified to provide auxiliary features for growing demands in regenerative medicine, which is constantly confronted with new problems, necessitating the creation of biocompatible, immunogenic and biodegradable film/scaffold composites. A new look at the chitosan composites structure/activity/application tradeoff is the primary focus of the current review, which can help researchers to detect the bottlenecks and overcome the shortcomings that arose from this intersection. In the current review, the most recent advances in chitosan films and scaffolds in terms of preparation techniques and modifying methods for improving their functional properties, in three major biomedical fields i.e., tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery are surveyed and discussed.

Abstract
The functionalization of chitosans is an emerging research area in the design of solutions for a wide range of biomedical applications. In particular, the modification of chitosans to incorporate sulfate groups has generated great interest since they show structural similarity to heparin and heparan sulfates. Most of the biomedical applications of heparan sulfates are derived from their ability to bind different growth factors and other proteins, as through these interactions they can modulate the cellular response. This review aims to summarize the most recent advances in the synthesis, and structural and physicochemical characterization of heparanized chitosan, a remarkably interesting family of polysaccharides that have demonstrated the ability to mimic heparan sulfates as ligands for different proteins, thereby exerting their biological activity by mimicking the function of these glycosaminoglycans.

Abstract
The biomedical and therapeutic importance of chitosan and chitosan derivatives is the subject of interdisciplinary research. In this analysis, we intended to consolidate some of the recent discoveries regarding the potential of chitosan and its derivatives to be used for biomedical and other purposes. Why chitosan? Because chitosan is a natural biopolymer that can be obtained from one of the most abundant polysaccharides in nature, which is chitin. Compared to other biopolymers, chitosan presents some advantages, such as accessibility, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and no toxicity, expressing significant antibacterial potential. In addition, through chemical processes, a high number of chitosan derivatives can be obtained with many possibilities for use. The presence of several types of functional groups in the structure of the polymer and the fact that it has cationic properties are determinant for the increased reactive properties of chitosan. We analyzed the intrinsic properties of chitosan in relation to its source: the molecular mass, the degree of deacetylation, and polymerization. We also studied the most important extrinsic factors responsible for different properties of chitosan, such as the type of bacteria on which chitosan is active. In addition, some chitosan derivatives obtained by functionalization and some complexes formed by chitosan with various metallic ions were studied. The present research can be extended in order to analyze many other factors than those mentioned. Further in this paper were discussed the most important factors that influence the antibacterial effect of chitosan and its derivatives. The aim was to demonstrate that the bactericidal effect of chitosan depends on a number of very complex factors, their knowledge being essential to explain the role of each of them for the bactericidal activity of this biopolymer.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most abundant natural polymer worldwide, and due to its inherent characteristics, its use in industrial processes has been extensively explored. Because it is biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, hydrophilic, cheap, and has good physical-chemical stability, it is seen as an excellent alternative for the replacement of synthetic materials in the search for more sustainable production methodologies. Thus being, a possible biotechnological application of Chitosan is as a direct support for enzyme immobilization. However, its applicability is quite specific, and to overcome this issue, alternative pretreatments are required, such as chemical and physical modifications to its structure, enabling its use in a wider array of applications. This review aims to present the topic in detail, by exploring and discussing methods of employment of Chitosan in enzymatic immobilization processes with various enzymes, presenting its advantages and disadvantages, as well as listing possible chemical modifications and combinations with other compounds for formulating an ideal support for this purpose. First, we will present Chitosan emphasizing its characteristics that allow its use as enzyme support. Furthermore, we will discuss possible physicochemical modifications that can be made to Chitosan, mentioning the improvements obtained in each process. These discussions will enable a comprehensive comparison between, and an informed choice of, the best technologies concerning enzyme immobilization and the application conditions of the biocatalyst.

Abstract
This study investigates Hg(II) and Cu(II) sorption in single and binary systems by alginate/polyethylenimine membranes. Batch experiments are conducted to assess the metal sorption performance. FTIR and SEM-EDX analyses are used to identify metal binding mechanism. The sorption kinetics are better fitted by the pseudo-second-order-equation compared to the pseudo-first-order-equation. Three isotherms are compared for fitting the sorption in mono-component solutions and the Sips model gives the best simulation of experimental data. The competitive-Sips model fits well sorption data in Hg-Cu binary solutions and finds that the Cu uptake is drastically reduced by Hg competition. Copper(II) uptake remains negligible at low pH whereas it increases with pH up to 6 because of material deprotonation. Mercury(II) sorption behaves differently, it slightly changes from pH 1 (qeq: 0.76 mmol g-1) to pH 6 (qeq: 0.84 mmol g-1) due to chloro-anion formation. Therefore, playing with the pH allows separating Hg(II) from Cu(II).

Abstract
Chemical modifications in the chitosan structure may result in obtaining a new material with improved chemical properties, such as an ability to encapsulate lipophilic compounds. This study aimed to synthesize cinnamic acid grafted chitosan nanogel to encapsulate the essential oils of Syzygium aromaticum and Cinnamomum ssp., in order to develop a material to be applied in the control of dermatophytosis caused by the fungus Microsporum canis. The cinnamic acid graft in chitosan was verified by the Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance of the 13C Nucleus (13C SSNMR) and Thermal analysis coupled to mass spectrometry (TG-MS) techniques. The nanogel obtained showed affinity for the essential oils of S. aromaticum and Cinnamomum, with encapsulation efficiencies equal to 74% and 89%, respectively. When in an aqueous medium the nanogel with the encapsulated essential oils was able to form stable nanoparticles with average sizes of 176.0 ± 54.3 nm and 263.0 ± 81.4 nm. The cinnamic acid grafted chitosan nanogel showed antifungal activity in vitro against M. canis, inhibiting up to 53.96% of its mycelial growth. Complete inhibition of mycelial growth was achieved by the nanogel with encapsulated essential oils. The results found in this work demonstrated the development of a material with potential application in the control of dermatophytosis caused by the fungus M. canis.

Abstract
A novel and green method for the preparation of chitosan derivatives bearing organic acids was reported in this paper. In order to improve the antioxidant activity of chitosan, eight different hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chitosan derivatives were successfully designed and synthesized via introducing of organic acids onto chitosan by mild and non-toxic ion exchange. The data of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), 1H NMR, and elemental analysis for chitosan derivatives indicated the successful conjugation of organic acid salt with hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC). Meanwhile, the antioxidant activity of the chitosan derivatives was evaluated in vitro. The results indicated that the chitosan derivatives possessed dramatic enhancements in DPPH-radical scavenging activity, superoxide-radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, and reducing power. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was investigated in vitro on L929 cells and showed low cytotoxicity. Thus, the enhanced antioxidant property of all novel chitosan products might be a great advantage, while applied in a wide range of applications in the form of antioxidant in biomedical, food, and cosmetic industry.

Abstract
In this paper, several novel chitosan derivatives bearing benzenoid / heterocyclic moieties were synthesized via introducing aminobenzene and heterocyclic compounds onto carboxymethyl chitosan. The specific structures of chitosan derivatives were confirmed by FTIR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis. Meanwhile, the antioxidant efficiencies of chitosan derivatives were assayed in vitro. In particular, all chitosan derivatives showed significant improvement in superoxide-radical scavenging activity and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Their antifungal activities against two plant pathogenic fungi (Colletotrichum lagenarium and Phomopsis asparagi) were estimated in vitro by hyphal measurement, and all products exhibited excellent antifungal activity. Besides, the cytotoxicity of them was also measured by CCK-8 in vitro on L929 cells, and all samples showed low cytotoxicity. The good biocompatibility and enhanced biological activity of new synthetic chitosan derivatives might be obvious advantages, while applied in wide range of applications as antifungal agents or antioxidants in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields.

Abstract
The vascularization within the scaffold is still a significant challenge in tissue engineering applications. Sulfated chitosan (SCS) as an amazing substance have been used in tissue engineering to stimulate angiogenesis. However, it is not clear whether they have difference in the ability to promote vascularization of SCS with different sulfonic acid group sites. The aim of this study was to evaluate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) viability and differentiation in vitro, affected by three types of sulfated chitosan' i.e. 2-N-6-O-sulfated chitosan (2,6-SCS), 3'6-O-sulfated chitosan (3,6-SCS) and 6-O-sulfated chitosan (6-SCS). The results are showed that all the SCS possesses excellent biological properties to promote HUVECs viability and proliferation. Especially, 2,6-SCS promotes desirable intracellular nitric oxide secretion and capillary tube formation. Meanwhile, 2,6-SCS up-regulate the related gene and protein expression compared with other sulfonic acid group sites SCS and heparin. Therefore, 2,6-SCS is a promising substitute material for angiogenesis and as aqueous formulation can be employed to fabrication functionalization scaffold surface with promoted angiogenesis.

Abstract
Chitosan and its derivatives are widely used in medical, cosmetic and food fields. In this study, chitosan-N-arginine (CSA) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A novel antibacterial composite film consisting of CSA, hydroxypropyl methylcellose (HPMC) and glycerol was then prepared. The transparent and homogeneous film presented good compatibility between CSA and HPMC, confirmed by SEM. The thickness of the film was about 44.8 μm and its moisture content was 23.0%. Antimicrobial evaluation of CSA/HPMC film showed 9.0 mm bacteriostatic diameter zone against E. coli and 10.5 mm one against S. aureus. The film exhibited cell biocompatibility and promoted proliferation with L929 cell cytotoxicity test. Both antibacterial and cytotoxic results showed that the CSA/HPMC film was a promising material for medication, cosmetics and food preservation applications.

Abstract
Chitosan derivatives are reported as anticoagulants in the literature. This work was undertaken to develop novel chitosan derivatives as anticoagulants. The sulfonated derivatives of chitosan were formed by the reaction of chitosan derivatives with chlorosulfonic acid in N,N-dimethylformamide. The structures of these derivatives were established by FTIR and 1H NMR spectra. The prepared derivatives were evaluated for their in vivo anticoagulant effects by the tail bleeding method in Wistar rats utilizing nicoumalone as a standard drug. The results revealed that the sulfonation of the chitosan increases its anticoagulant activity. The developed compounds exhibited faster onset of action and potency than nicoumalone after one hour of the drug administration. The sulphated N-alkyl derivatives of chitosan were more potent anticoagulants than sulfated quaternary derivatives/sulfated chitosan. It is also suggested to develop analogs of Ethyl chitosan sulfate (4b) and Benzyl chitosan sulfate (4c), which may provide some more fruitful anticoagulants having faster onset of action as well as longer duration of action and possessing a balanced hydrophilic/lipophilic character.

Abstract
Curcumin (Cur) has anticancer activities but has poor stability, which can be improved using carrier materials. In this study, chitosan was aminated to increase the number of amino groups on its surface, modified with folic acid (FA), and then made into nanoparticles by ionic crosslinking. Owing to ion interaction, the negatively charged, non-toxic tripolyphosphate (TPP) interacted with the positively charged amino group on the aminated chitosan (AmCS) surface, producing FA-AmCS-TPP nanoparticles, which were then characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Their small particle size (175.2 ± 0.99 nm) and good surface positive potential (+42.4 mV) are beneficial for carrying antitumor drugs. We subsequently investigated whether coating of Cur by AmCS allows slow drug release by FA-AmCS-TPP nanoparticles in different pH environments, and estimated the Cur loading efficiency (EE-Cur). Our results showed that the cumulative release rate of Cur at 48 h was 56.2%, and that the EE-Cur reached 94.26 ± 0.91% with nanoparticles composed of 0.10 g AmCS, 10.0 mg FA, 10.0 mg TPP, and 15.0 mg Cur. Additionally, cytotoxicity experiments showed that the Cur/FA-AmCS-TPP nanoparticles had good targeting ability for tumor cells. Therefore, the non-toxic targeted composite nanoparticles had potential as a new antitumor agent that can overcome the limitations of Cur.

Abstract
Heparin, a high-molecular weight acidic polysaccharide, has raised much interest in the field of biomedical research due to its multiple bio-functions. The anticoagulant application of heparin in routine clinical practice, however, has been limited as the large molecular size of heparin can reduce its subcutaneous bioavailability and lead to severe adverse consequences such as thrombocytopenia. Here, we report a highly efficient and convenient method to depolymerize high-molecular weight, unfractionated heparin (UFH), into low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) by combining physical ultrasonic treatment with the chemical Fenton reaction, referred to as sono-Fenton. We found that this combination treatment synergistically degraded UFH into a LMWH of 4.87 kDa within 20 min. We characterized the mechanism of sono-Fenton heparin degradation through multiple approaches, including HPLC-SAX, disaccharide composition, FT-IR, NMR and top-down analysis, and found that the uronic acid residue in heparin was the most susceptible site attacked by OH radicals produced in the sono-Fenton process. Importantly, the LMWH prepared by this method had significantly higher anticoagulant activity than UFH and other LMWHs. This approach represents an effective method to produce heparin with improved activity and should be potentially useful for heparin production in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
In the current study, five novel urea-functionalized chitosan derivatives were synthesized via condensation reactions of chloroacetyl chitosan (CTCS) with urea groups bearing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. In order to identify the structure characteristics of chitosan derivatives, FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis were carried out. The antifungal activity of the derivatives against four species of phytopathogen (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, Phomopsis asparagus, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumebrium Owen, and Botrytis cinerea) was evaluated. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of chitosan derivatives was tested by hydroxyl-radical scavenging and superoxide-radical scavenging assays. The results indicated that chitosan derivatives bearing urea groups displayed superior bioactivity compared with chitosan. Besides, L929 cells were adopted for cytotoxicity test of chitosan and synthesized samples by CCK-8 assay and all samples showed decreased cytotoxicity. These results suggested that the novel urea-functionalized chitosan derivatives could be an ideal biomaterial for antifungal and antioxidant applications.

Abstract
The bacterial infections have always a serious problem to public health. Scientists are developing new antibacterial materials to overcome this problem. Polysaccharides are promising biopolymers due to their diverse biological functions, low toxicity, and high biodegradability. Chitin and chitosan have antibacterial properties due to their cationic nature, while cellulose/bacterial cellulose does not possess any antibacterial activity. Moreover, the insolubility of chitin in common solvents, the poor solubility of chitosan in water, and the low mechanical properties of chitosan have restricted their biomedical applications. In order to solve these problems, chemical modifications such as quaternization, carboxymethylation, cationization, or surface modification of these polymers with different antimicrobial agents, including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, are carried out to obtain new materials with improved physiochemical and biological properties. This mini review describes the recent progress in such derivatives and composites with potential antibacterial applications.
