Description

Chitosan (Deacetylated chitin) (≥90% deacetylated,viscosity 10 mPa.s) is a polysaccharide obtained by deacetylating chitin, and exhibits antimicrobial activity against various bacteria and fungi. Chitosan (≥90% deacetylated,viscosity 10 mPa.s) can be used as a versatile biomaterial in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Low-molecular-weight chitosan can penetrate bacterial cell walls, bind with DNA and inhibit DNA transcription and mRNA synthesis, while high-molecular-weight Chitosan can bind to the negatively charged components on the bacterial cell wall. It forms an impermeable layer around the cell, changes cell permeability and blocks transport into the cell. Chitosan also can be used in water treatment, wound-healing materials, pharmaceutical excipient or drug carrier, obesity research and as a scaffold for tissue engineering[2].

In Vivo

In chemical-induced colonic precancerous lesions in ICR mice, in the 2 weeks preventive experiments, mice fed with a diet containing high molecular weight Chitosan (HMWC) had significant fewer aberrant crypt foci formation than those fed with control diet. As the treatment extended to 6 weeks, both low molecular weight Chitosan (LMWC)- and HMWC-fed mice contained less aberrant crypt foci when compared to control[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
