Nanoparticles Based on Hydrophobic Polysaccharide Derivatives—Formation Principles,Characterization Techniques,and Biomedical Applications

Polysaccharide (PS) nanoparticles (NP) are fascinating materials that combine huge application potential with the unique beneficial features of natural biopolymers. Different types of PS‐NP can be distinguished depending on the basic preparation principles (top‐down vs bottom‐up vs coating of nanomaterials) and the material from which they are obtained (native PS vs chemically modified PS derivatives vs nanocomposites). This review provides a comprehensive overview of an approach towards PS‐NP that has gained rapidly increasing interest within the last decade; the nanoself‐assembling of hydrophobic PS derivatives. This facile process is easy to perform and offers a broad structural diversity in terms of the PS backbone and the additional functionalities that can be introduced. Fundamental principles of different NP preparation techniques along with useful characterization methods are presented in this work. A comprehensive summary of PS‐NP prepared by different techniques and with various PS backbones and types/amounts of hydrophobic substituents is given. The intention is to demonstrate how different parameters determine the size, size distribution, and zeta‐potential of the particles. Moreover, application trends in biomedical areas are highlighted in which tailored functional PS‐NP are evaluated and constantly developed further.     

Separation, purification and structure elucidation of a polysaccharide from root of Cudrania tricuspidata

A water-soluble polysaccharide (CPS-0) was obtained from the root of Cudrania tricuspidata (Carr.) Bur., by hot water extraction (70°C), deproteination using enzymolysis and Sevag method, precipitation with ethanol, and fractionation through DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography. The purity of CPS-0 was determined by HPLC and the structure was elucidated by monosaccharide composition analysis, methylation analysis, GC, GC-MS, NMR spectral (¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, HMQC), UV, IR, and elemental analysis. The CPS-0 was found to contain glucose residues only. The average repeating unit is a decasaccharide having a backbone consisting of 1,4-linked α-D-glucopyranosyl residues to which the side chain consisting of terminal and 1,4-linked α-D-glucopyranosyl residues was attached at position 6 of the branching residues. __________ Translated from Chemical Journal of Chinese Universities, 2007, 28(6): 1088–1091 [译自: 高等学校化学学报]     

Bienzymatic supramolecular complex of catalase modified with cyclodextrin-branched carboxymethylcellulose and superoxide dismutase: stability and anti-inflammatory properties

A bienzymatic supramolecular assembly of CAT and SOD is reported. CAT was chemically glycosilated with CD branched CMC and then associated with SOD modified with 1-adamantane carboxylic acid. SOD was remarkably resistant to inactivation by H(2)O(2) and its anti-inflammatory activity was 4.5-fold increased after supramolecular association with the modified CAT form.

Thermodynamic enantioseparation behavior of phenylthiohydantoin‐amino acid derivatives in supercritical fluid chromatography on polysaccharide chiral stationary phases

Thirteen pairs of enantiomers belonging to the same structural family (phenylthiohydantoin‐amino acids) were analyzed on two polysaccharide chiral stationary phases, namely, tris‐(3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamate) of amylose (Chiralpak AD‐H) or cellulose (Chiralcel OD‐H) in supercritical fluid chromatography with a carbon dioxide/methanol mobile phase (90:10 v/v). Five different temperatures (5, 10, 20, 30, 40°C) were applied to evaluate the thermodynamic behavior of these enantioseparations. On the cellulose stationary phase, the retention, and separation trends were most similar among the set of probe analytes, suggesting that the chiral cavities in this stationary phase have little diversity, or that all analytes accessed the same cavities. Conversely, the retention and separation trends on the amylose phase were much more diverse, and could be related to structural differences among the set of probe analytes (carbon chain length in the amino acid residue, secondary amine in proline, existence of covalent rings, or formation of pseudo‐rings via intramolecular hydrogen bonds). The large variability of behaviors on the amylose phase suggests that the chiral‐binding sites in this chiral stationary phase have more variety than on the cellulose phase, and that the analytes did access different cavities.
