Preparation, characterization and antibacterial activity of water-soluble O-fumaryl-chitosan

Biomedical Biopolymers, their Origin and Evolution in Biomedical Sciences: A Systematic Review

“…Chitosan is excellent in biocompatibility; high bioactivity; biodegradability; selective permeability; polyelectrolyte action; antimicrobial activity; ability to form gel and film; chelation ability and absorptive capacity [17]. These peculiar properties provide a variety of applications to Chitosan, such as: drug carrier for controlled release [18], antibacterial [19,20] and anti-acid [21]; inhibits the bacterial plaque formation and decalcification of dental enamel [22,23], promotes Osteogenesis [24], fat absorbent action and promotes the healing of ulcers and lesions [25,26].…”

Microbiological Chitosan: Potential Application as Anticariogenic Agent

“…Chitosan has numerous applications in several areas, mainly biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, due to its specific properties Among their properties we highlight the excellent biocompatibility; almost any toxicity to human beings and animals; high bioactivity; biodegradability; reactivity of the group amino deacetylated; selective permeability; polyelectrolyte action; antimicrobial activity; ability to form gel and film; chelation ability and absorptive capacity [36][37][38]. These peculiar properties provide a variety of applications to the chitosan, such as: drug carrier of controlled release [36], anti-bacterial [37,39] and anti-acid [38]; inhibition of the bacterial plaque formation and decalcification of dental enamel [2,10]; promotes the osteogenesis [40]; and promotes the healing of ulcers and lesions [41,42].…”

Potential Application of a Visible Light-Induced Photocured Hydrogel Film as a Wound Dressing Material

“…In these blends, polymeric chains are homogenously distributed having more chances for binding with bacterial cells and killing them [10]. The real mechanism for antibacterial effect of these films was not so clear [38] and needs more explorations; however, a suggested mechanism for cured films would be similar to uncured ones [1]. That is explained by interactions of cationic amino groups (NH 3 + ) of Ch with negatively charged essential components of bacterial cell walls (Scheme 2).…”
