TL;DR: In this paper , a functionalized chitosan was synthesized by coupling the amine groups with 2,4,6-Trimethoxybenzaldehyde, producing a CHITOSAN Schiff base (Cs-TMB).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and Surface Properties of Resilient Denture Liners Modified with Chitosan Salts.
TL;DR: Modification with CS salts does not influence the mechanical properties of the modified resilient denture liners in a clinically relevant manner, and despite the increased roughness, the concept is suitable for further studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precise quantification of the antibacterial activity of chitosan by NB medium neutralizer
Mengyang Wang,Bi Shichao,Jianhui Pang,Zhongzheng Zhou,Di Qin,Honglei Wang,Xiaojie Cheng,Xiguang Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved test method independent of nutrient broth medium was proposed to precisely quantify the antibacterial effectiveness and efficiency of chitosan, and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was 60μg/mL−1 against S. aureus and E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guanidinylation of Chitooligosaccharides Involving Internal Cyclization of the Guanidino Group on the Reducing End and Effect of Guanidinylation on Protein Binding Ability.
TL;DR: The guanidinylated chitooligosaccharides are useful not only for the development of a novel peptide/protein delivery system but also as a chitinase/chitosanase inhibitor and an antibacterial agent.

Chitin and Chitosan Preparation from Marine Sources. Structure, Properties and Applications
Islem Younes,Marguerite Rinaudo +1 more
TL;DR: Several selected pharmaceutical and biomedical applications are presented, in which chitin and chitosan are recognized as new biomaterials taking advantage of their biocompatibility and biodegradability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Results show that chitosan nanoparticles and copper-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of various bacteria tested and exposed to S. choleraesuis led to the disruption of cell membranes and the leakage of cytoplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
