Oxidized of chitosan with different molecular weights for potential antifungal and plant growth regulator applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126862. [PMID: 37703971 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126862] [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: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
The application of Chitosan (CS) in drug delivery systems, plant growth promotion, antibacterial potentiality and plant defense is significantly limited by its inability to dissolve in neutral solutions. In this work, CS with different molecular weights (Mw) has been oxidized, yielding five kinds of oxidized chitosan (OCS 1-5) with solubilities in neutral solutions. The results obtained from Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy clearly showed the successful oxidation of the hydroxyl group to form aldehyde and carboxyl groups. And the CS derivatives showed the wrinkled and lamellar structures on the surface of OCS. The results of antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum showed that the OCS dissolved in 2 % (V/V) acetic acid exhibited better performance of almost complete inhibition of mycelial growth compared with CS at the concentration of 500 μg/mL. Among the five OCS, OCS-4 exhibited the best antifungal effect and had the lowest EC50 value of 581.68 μg/mL in samples. OCS-4 displayed superior promoting effect on seed germination with a germination potential of 62.2 % at a concentration of 3 g/L and a germination rate of 74.5 %. Additionally, the other four OCS also showed excellent antifungal activity with dose-dependent manners. These results indicated that the OCS had excellent antifungal potential in agricultural production.

Abstract
Nanocomposites, formed by combining a matrix (commonly polymer or ceramic) with nanofillers (nano-sized inclusions like nanoparticles or nanofibers), possess distinct attributes attributed to their composition. Their unique physicochemical properties and interaction capabilities with microbial cells position them as a promising avenue for infectious disease treatment. The escalating prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria intensifies the need for alternative solutions. Traditional approaches involve antimicrobial agents like antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals, targeting specific microbial aspects. This review presents a comprehensive overview of diverse nanocomposite types and highlights the potential of tailored matrix and antibacterial agent selection within nanocomposites to enhance treatment efficacy and decrease antibiotic resistance risks. Challenges such as toxicity, safety, and scalability in clinical applications are also acknowledged. Ultimately, the convergence of nanotechnology and infectious disease research offers the prospect of enhanced therapeutic strategies, envisioning a future wherein advanced materials revolutionize the landscape of medical treatment.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates a strategy for preparing porous composite fibrous materials with superior biocompatibility and antibacterial performance. The findings reveal that the incorporation of PEG into the spinning solutions significantly influences the fiber diameters, morphology, and porous area fraction. The addition of a hydrophilic homopolymer, PEG, into the Ch/PLA spinning solution enhances the hydrophilicity of the resulting materials. The hybrid fibrous materials, comprising Ch modified with PLA and PEG as a co-solvent, along with post-treatment to improve water stability, exhibit a slower rate of degradation (stable, moderate weight loss over 16 weeks) and reduced hydrophobicity (lower contact angle, reaching 21.95 ± 2.17°), rendering them promising for biomedical applications. The antibacterial activity of the membranes is evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with PEG-containing samples showing a twofold increase in bacterial reduction rate. In vitro cell culture studies demonstrated that PEG-containing materials promote uniform cell attachment, comparable to PEG-free nanofibers. The comprehensive evaluation of these novel materials, which exhibit improved physical, chemical, and biological properties, highlights their potential for biomedical applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has hugely affected the textile and apparel industry. Besides the negative impact due to supply chain disruptions, drop in demand, liquidity problems, and overstocking, this pandemic was found to be a window of opportunity since it accelerated the ongoing digitalization trends and the use of functional materials in the textile industry. This review paper covers the development of smart and advanced textiles that emerged as a response to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2. We extensively cover the advancements in developing smart textiles that enable monitoring and sensing through electrospun nanofibers and nanogenerators. Additionally, we focus on improving medical textiles mainly through enhanced antiviral capabilities, which play a crucial role in pandemic prevention, protection, and control. We summarize the challenges that arise from personal protective equipment (PPE) disposal and finally give an overview of new smart textile-based products that emerged in the markets related to the control and spread reduction of SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have now found applications across all segments of society including but not limited to energy, environment, defense, agriculture, purification, food medicine, diagnostics, and others. The pandemic and the vulnerability of humankind to emerging viruses and other infectious diseases has renewed interest in nanoparticles as a potential new class of antivirals. In fact, a growing body of evidence in the literature suggests nanoparticles may have activity against multiple viruses including HIV, HNV, SARS-CoV-2, HBV, HCV, HSV, RSV, and others. The most described antiviral nanoparticles include copper, alloys, and oxides including zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide, iron oxide, and their composites, nitrides, and other ceramic nanoparticles, as well as gold and silver nanoparticles, and sulfated and nonsulfated polysaccharides and other sulfated polymers including galactan, cellulose, polyethylenimine, chitosan/chitin, and others. Nanoparticles, synthesized via the biological or green method, also have great importance and are under major consideration these days, as their method of synthesis is easy, reliable, cost-effective, efficient, and eco-friendly, and is done using easily available sources such as bacteria, actinomycetes, yeast, fungi, algae, herbs, and plants, in comparison to chemically mediated synthesis. Chemical synthesis is highly expensive and involves toxic solvents, high pressure, energy, and high temperature conversion. Examples of biologically synthesized NPs include iron oxide, Cu and CuO NPs, and platinum and palladium NPs. In contrast to traditional medications, nanomedications have multiple advantages: their small size, increased surface to volume ratio, improved pharmacokinetics, improved biodistribution, and targeted delivery. In terms of antiviral activity, nanoscale interactions represent a unique mode of action. As reviewed here their biomedical application as an antiviral has shown four major mechanisms: (1) direct viral interaction prohibiting the virus from infecting the cell, (2) interaction to receptor or cell surface preventing the virus from entering the host cells, (3) preventing the replication of the virus, or (4) other processing mechanisms which inhibit the spread of virus. Here these pharmacologic mechanisms are reviewed and the challenges for technology translation are discussed in more detail.

Abstract
Nanoparticles can be used as inhibitory agents against various microorganisms, including bacteria, algae, archaea, fungi, and a huge class of viruses. The mechanism of action includes inhibiting the function of the cell membrane/stopping the synthesis of the cell membrane, disturbing the transduction of energy, producing toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibiting or reducing RNA and DNA production. Various nanomaterials, including different metallic, silicon, and carbon-based nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures, have been successfully used against different viruses. Recent research strongly agrees that these nanoarchitecture-based virucidal materials (nano-antivirals) have shown activity in the solid state. Therefore, they are very useful in the development of several products, such as fabric and high-touch surfaces. This review thoroughly and critically identifies recently developed nano-antivirals and their products, nano-antiviral deposition methods on various substrates, and possible mechanisms of action. By considering the commercial viability of nano-antivirals, recommendations are made to develop scalable and sustainable nano-antiviral products with contact-killing properties.

Abstract
Biofilms are multicellular communities of microbial cells that grow on natural and synthetic surfaces. They have become the major cause for hospital-acquired infections because once they form, they are very difficult to eradicate. Nanotechnology offers means to fight biofilm-associated infections. Here, we report on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with the antibacterial ligand epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and the formation of a lysozyme protein corona on AgNPs, as shown by UV-vis, dynamic light scattering, and circular dichroism analyses. We further tested the activity of EGCG-AgNPs and their lysozyme bioconjugates on the viability of Bacillus subtilis cells and biofilm formation. Our results showed that, although EGCG-AgNPs presented no antibacterial activity on planktonic B. subtilis cells, they inhibited B. subtilis biofilm formation at concentrations larger than 40 nM, and EGCG-AgNP-lysozyme bioconjugates inhibited biofilms at concentrations above 80 nM. Cytotoxicity assays performed with human cells showed a reverse trend, where EGCG-AgNPs barely affected human cell viability while EGCG-AgNP-lysozyme bioconjugates severely hampered viability. Our results therefore demonstrate that EGCG-AgNPs may be used as noncytotoxic antibiofilm agents.
