CARBOXYETHYLATION POLYSACCHARIDES -- N-(2-CARBOXYETHYL)CHITOSAN -- POLYAMPHOLYTE
Аннотация: N-(2-Carboxyethyl)chitosans were obtained by reaction of low molecular weight chitosan with a low degree of acetylation and 3-halopropionic acids under mild alkaline media (pH 8-9, NaHCO3) at 60°C. The chemical structure of the derivatives obtained was determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies. It was found that alkylation of chitosan by 3-halopropionic acids proceeds exclusively at the amino groups. The products obtained are described in terms of their degrees of carboxyethylation and ratio of mono-, di-substitution and free amine content. The protonation constants of amino and carboxylate groups of a series of N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosans were determined by pH-titration at ionic strength 0.1 M KNO3 and 25°C. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Аннотация: The copper(II) complex formation equilibria of N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosans with three different degrees of substitution (DS = 0.42, 0.92, and 1.61) were studied in aqueous solution by pH-potentiometric and UV-spectrophotometric techniques. It was demonstrated that the complexation model of CE-chitosans depends on DS: the [Cu(Glc-NR2)2] complexes are predominant for two lower substituted samples ("bridge model", log ?12 = 10.06 and 11.6, respectively), whereas the increase of DS leads to formation mainly of the [Cu(Glc-NR2)] complexes ("pendant model", log ?11 = 6.41). As a model for copper complexation with a disubstituted residue of CE-chitosan, the complex of N-methyliminodipropionate [CuMidp(H2O)]·(H2O) was synthesized and structurally characterized by XRD. The unit cell consists of two crystallographically nonequivalent Cu atoms having slightly distorted square pyramidal coordination; Midp constitutes the basal plane of the pyramid and acts as a tetradentate NO3 chelate-bridging ligand by the formation of two six-membered chelate rings (average Cu-O 1.99 A, Cu-N 2.04 A) and a bridge via carbonyl O atom (average Cu-O 1.99 A), an apical position is occupied by a water molecule (average Cu-Ow 2.30 A).

Аннотация: N-carboxyethylation of chitosan by -halopropionic acids in the presence of various proton and halogen ion acceptors was investigated. It has been observed that carboxyethylation of chitosan in aqueous medium is accompanied by the by-processes of hydrolysis and dehydrohalogenation of the -halopropionic acids yielding -hydroxypropionic acid, bis(2-carbox-yethyl) ether, and acrylic acid. Degree of carboxyethyl substitution (DS) of chitosan and the relative rates of the by-processes varied significantly depending on the conditions used and nature of the proton or halogen ion acceptor. At carboxyethylation of chitosan with the alkaline -bromopropionates, the DS increased in the order Cs+ Rb- K+ sim; Na+ Li-.

CARBOXYETHYLATION -- CHITOSAN -- EUGLENA GRACILIS -- OFLOXACIN -- ANTIOXIDANT -- ANTIMUTAGENICITY
Аннотация: The antioxidant and antimutagenic activities of the novel carboxyethyl derivatives of chitosan with three different degrees of substitution have been assayed in vitro in the unicellular flagellate Euglena gracilis subjected to the action of genotoxic agents acridine orange and ofloxacin. It has been demonstrated that chitosan derivatives exhibit concentration-dependent protective antigenotoxic activity against both mutagens. It is suggested that different mechanisms may be involved in its protective action—antioxidant activity in case of ofloxacin-induced DNA damage, as well as possible interaction with the cell membrane that prevents acridine orange from reaching the genetic compartments and subsequent damaging DNA through intercalative binding. Direct adsorption of acridine orange on chitosan derivatives was ruled out as a possible mechanism of protection on the basis of spectrophotometric measurements. Dependence of the antimutagenic properties of the studied chitosan derivatives on the degree of substitution was reversed in experiments involving acridine orange and ofloxacin, which also indicated different mechanisms of protection involved in these two cases.????

Аннотация: Here we report on solution properties and flocculation performance of polyampholyte chitosan derivatives - N-carboxyethylated chitosans (CEC) - synthesized "in gel" by treatment of chitosan with acrylic acid. We show that carboxyethylation with the substitution degrees (DS) from 0.7 to 1.6 yields water-soluble derivatives, whose isoelectric points (IEP) range from 6.30 to 3.55. At pH 7.5 interaction of negatively charged CEC derivatives with positively charged colloids of the heavy metal hydroxides (Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+), serving as a model of postgalvanic wastewaters, results in lowering of electrokinetic potential of the hydroxide colloids and their precipitation at appropriate flocculant dose. Investigations of CEC flocculation performance depending on pH and DS show that the efficiency of metal removal decreases in the row Cu2+ Zn2+ Ni2+ corresponding to the row of the hydroxocomplex stability for these metals. The higher was pH of the system and DS of CEC derivative, the narrower was the flocculation window and the stronger was negative effect of flocculant overdosing on the efficiency of heavy metal removal. Based on the estimation of floc settling rates and the residual metal concentrations, we have concluded that the optimal DS of CEC derivatives for the precipitation of metal hydroxides is 0.7-1.0

Аннотация: 3,3,3-Trifluoro-N-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2-propanediamine (5) was synthesized by the reaction of 2-diazo-1,1,1-trifluoro-3-nitropropane or 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-nitropropene with 3-aminobenzotrifluoride followed by the reduction of the nitro group. The Michael 1,4-addition of diamine 5 to acrylic acid occurs only at the N(1) atom and affords N-mono-or N,N-dicarboxyethyl derivatives 6 and 7, depending on the reactant ratio. Protolytic equilibria 5–7 in aqueous solutions were studied by pH-potentiometry and UV spectroscopy. Only the aliphatic amino group can be protonated in an aqueous solution, while the aromatic amino group remains unprotonated even in 12 M HCl. The stability constants of transition metal (Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+) complexes with ligands 5–7 were determined by pH-potentiometric titration. The stability of the complexes and selectivity of the ligands toward Cu2+ ions increase with an increase in the number of N-carboxyethyl groups

Аннотация: A number of chelating resins were prepared by chemical derivatization of the chitin-glucan (CG) complex isolated from Aspergillus niger biomass, namely chitosan-glucan (CsG), O-carboxymethyl-chitin-glucan (CM-CG), O-(2-sulfoethyl)chitin-glucan (SE-CG), and N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosan-glucan (CE-CsG). The chemical modification was confirmed by FT-IR and elemental analysis. Nanosecond electron beam irradiation was used to produce insoluble resins and to preserve the reactive functional groups. Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate the adsorption selectivity and capacity of the resins toward transition metal ions (Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+). The resins showed good adsorption capability with the following selectivity series: Co2+ Ni2+ Cu2+ Zn2+. The total metal adsorption capacities of CG, CsG, CM-CG, SE-CG, and CE-CsG resins at pH 6.5 (ammonium acetate buffer) were found to be 0.205, 0.382, 1.752, 0.319, and 0.350 mmol g?1, respectively. Our results suggest that, depending on the type of chemical modification, the chitin-glucan complexes can be used either for selective Cu2+ removal (CsG) or for total transition metal adsorption (CM-CG) from aqueous effluents

Аннотация: Agricultural cultivation of astragalus is fraught with a number of difficulties caused by both certain requirements for climatic conditions and individual characteristics of plants of this genus. In this study, carboxyalkylated derivative of chitosan was first proposed to use for improvement of astragalus propagation. Effects of N-(2-carboxyethyl)chitosan on in vitro A. glycyphyllos and A. membranaceus seed germination and seedling growth and development in comparing with β-alanine and chitosan acetate were detected. Carboxyethylation of chitosan leads to an increase in hydrophilic properties of the molecule, which enhances a penetration of nutrients inside the plant owing to improved solvating effect and bioadhesive activity. Seed germination assay were performed on Murashige-Skoog growth medium with or without tested compounds. N-2-Carboxyethylated derivative of chitosan was found to demonstrate active stimulating effect on the plant growth and development, contrary to the effect of acetate chitosan, but not to cause an activating effect on seed germination, while β-alanine does.
