A new type of amphiphilic derivative of carboxymethylchitosan(CMCHS) was prepared by reaction of CMCHS with p-nonylphenyl glycidyl ether.

The structure of the resulting derivatives, i.e., (2-hydroxyl-3-p-nonylphenoxy) propyl-carboxy-methylchitosan(HNP-CMCHS) had been identified by UV and IR spectroscopy. They are water-soluble and have surface activity, which is related to the degree of substitution and the added electrolyte in the solution. In the presence of NaCl, two transitions appeared on the surface tension-concentration plots, that means the possibility of the formation of intramolecular micelle. It was also found that it need a long time for the surface tension of the derivative solutions to get a equilibrium value and the time is related to the derivative concentration, degree of substitution and added electrolyte of the solution.展开更多

The derivatives selected were carboxymethylated-chitosan （CMCH）, linoleic acid modifiedchitosan （LACH） and deoxycholic acid modified-chitosan （DACH）, respectively, and the results of FTIR and NMR confirmed the successful modification. Cytotoxicity of these polymers was investigated via the red blood cell lysis assay and the MTT assay. The red blood cell lysis test showed that CH elicited a certain level of red blood cell toxicity, while CMCH, LACH and DACH all displayed low membrane damaging effects, with the hemolysis rates of 2.385%, 1.560% and 4.404%, respectively, which comes well within permissible limit （5%）. The MTT assay revealed that CH exhibited significant inhibitory effect on fibroblast proliferation at higher concentration, while its three derivatives showed no cytotoxicity. CMCH had stimulatory effects on fetal mouse fibroblast proliferation. Differences in cytotoxicity of CH and its derivatives may result from the specific chemical modifications leading to the alteration of molecular charge density and type of the cationic functionalities, structure and sequence, and conformational flexibility.展开更多
