Microwave‐assisted synthesis of chitosan biguanidine hydrochloride and its antioxidant activity in vitro

Abstract

Chitosan biguanidine hydrochloride (CSGH) was synthesized by guanidinylation of chitosan hydrochloride (CSH) under microwave irradiation and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and element analysis. The antioxidant activity of CSGH was evaluated by both chemical and cellular methods. The results showed that CSGH was better than CSH but slightly inferior to ascorbic acid (Vc) for scavenging 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picryl‐hydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals, and the DPPH• scavenging ability of CSGH was dose‐dependent. However, cell experiments indicated CSGH had a superior repairing effect on oxidatively damaged cells. The intervention of CSGH could excellently recover the cell morphology, decrease the level of malondialdehyde, and enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. CSGH could be a potential antioxidant reagent, and its antioxidant activity was reflected not only in scavenging the free radicals but also in regulating the oxidation/antioxidation balance of damaged cells. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…All these results conrmed that COSG was synthesized successfully. 52,53,59 The 13 C-NMR spectra of the COS and COSG are shown in Fig. 5.…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis of chitosan biguanidine hydrochloride and its regulation on InsR and GLUT2 in insulin resistant HepG2 cells

“…Sang et al 46 synthesized quaternized carboxymethyl chitosan containing guanidine groups, which demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity. Our previous studies found that biguanidine hydrochloride displayed excellent antioxidant ability, 47 and chitooligosaccharide guanidine was likely to promote transmembrane of GLUT4 by improving the phosphorylation level of Akt, thereby increasing glucose uptake of skeletal cells. 48 However, up to now, there are few reports about the effect of chitosan guanidine derivatives on insulin resistance hepatic cells.…”

Microwave Assisted Preparation of Antimicrobial Chitosan with Guanidine Oligomers and Its Application in Hygiene Paper Products

“…Grafting those groups onto chitosan normally requires a reaction conducted at an elevated temperature. One of the recently developed approaches for heating the reaction system is microwave assisted heating which appears to be more homogeneous, selective and efficient in comparison with the conventional heating method [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. The microwave irradiation heating process also resulted in fast reaction with few or no side products.…”
