Injectable Polysaccharide Hydrogels as Biocompatible Platforms for Localized and Sustained Delivery of Antibiotics for Preventing Local Infections

Biocompatible and antibacterial hydrogels have received increasing attention for preventing local bacterial infections. In this study, a type of polysaccharide hydrogels is prepared via the Schiff‐based reaction at physiological conditions. The gelation time and mechanical property of the hydrogels are found to be dependent on the polysaccharide concentration and the polysaccharide weight ratio. 3‐(4,5‐Dimethyl‐thiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and live/dead assay indicate that the hydrogels display nontoxicity in vitro. After subcutaneous injection into rats, the hydrogels exhibit an acceptable biocompatibility in vivo. Furthermore, the bacterial inhibition tests by shaking flask method and agar disc‐diffusion method demonstrate that the ceftriaxone‐sodium‐loaded hydrogels have remarkable antibacterial properties in vitro. The in vivo anti‐infective tests further display that the antibiotic‐loaded hydrogels display excellent anti‐infective efficacies in both superficial and deep tissue infection. Consequently, the injectable and biocompatible polysaccharide hydrogels may serve as promising platforms for localized, sustained delivery of antibiotics for preventing local infections.

当归多糖ASP3及其水解产物的NMR光谱分析

对当归多糖ASP3的糖链结构进行分析. 分别采用0.2 mol/L三氟乙酸(Trifluoroacetic acid, TFA)和内切-α-(1→4)-聚半乳糖醛酸酶(EndoPG)对ASP3进行部分酸水解和酶水解, 并对水解前后多糖组分的1D和2D NMR光谱特征进行分析. 实验结果表明, ASP3是一种果胶多糖. GalpA和Rhap位于多糖分子的主链, 由1→4-D-GalpA相连形成的“光滑区”(半乳糖醛酸聚糖)是其主要组成部分; 由α-(1→4)-GalpA通过O4位与α-(1→2)-和α-(1→2,4)-Rhap的O2位交替连接所形成的重复单元[→4)-α-GalpA-(1→2)-α-Rhap-(1→]构成具有较高分支的“毛发区”(富含中性糖侧链的鼠李半乳糖醛酸聚糖). Galp和Araf是中性糖侧链的主要组成, 通过Rhap残基的O4位与主链相连. 非还原性末端T-β-Galp, β-(1→3)-, β-(1→3,6)-, β-(1→4)-, β-(1→4,6)-Galp聚合形成以β-(1→3,6)-Galp为分支点的β-(1→6)-半乳聚糖和以β-(1→4,6)-Galp为分支点的β-(1→4)-半乳聚糖. T-α-Araf, α-(1→5)-Araf和α-(1→3,5)-Araf聚合形成以α-(1→3,5)-Araf为分支点的α-(1→5)-阿拉伯聚糖. 此外, 由α-(1→5)-阿拉伯聚糖通过α-(1→3)连接与β-(1→6)-半乳聚糖末端聚合形成阿拉伯半乳聚糖.     

Identification of the Primary Structure of Selenium-Containing Polysaccharides Selectively Inhibiting T-Cell Proliferation

We previously described the biosynthesis, isolation, and immunosuppressive activity of the selenium-containing polysaccharide fraction isolated from the mycelial culture of Lentinula edodes. Structural studies have shown that the fraction was a protein-containing mixture of high molar mass polysaccharides α- and β-glucans. However, which of the components of the complex fraction is responsible for the immunosuppressive activity non-typical for polysaccharides of fungal origin has not been explained. In the current study, we defined four-polysaccharide components of the Se-containing polysaccharide fraction determined their primary structure and examined the effect on T- and B-cell proliferation. The isolated Se-polysaccharides, α-1,4-glucan (M_w 2.25 × 10⁶ g/mol), unbranched β-1,6-d-glucan, unbranched β-1,3-d-glucan and β-1,3-branched β-1,6-d-glucan (M_w 1.10 × 10⁵ g/mol), are not typical as components of the cell wall of L. edodes. All are biologically active, but the inhibitory effect of the isolated polysaccharides on lymphocyte proliferation was weaker, though more selective than that of the crude fraction.
