羧甲基壳聚糖衍生物及其振动光谱的理论研究

用量子化学从头算STO 3G法研究了羧甲基壳聚糖及其衍生物的结构和稳定性，计算结果表明:1)壳聚糖单体经羧甲基化后，得到2种可能的产物，其中羧甲基在壳聚糖单体2位氨基上的取代产物较6位羟基上的取代产物稳定； 2)以羧甲基壳聚糖为母体经加成反应，得到羧甲基壳聚糖衍生物（2 羟基 3 丁氧基）丙基 羧甲基壳聚糖的2个异构体， 其中构型1更稳定.在优化构型的基础上，计算所得的构型1的振动光谱与实验结果相吻合.

Application of Response Surface Methodology To Formulation Optimization of Rapamycin Loaded Magnetic Fe3O4/Carboxymethylchitosan Nanoparticles

In this paper, a new drug delivery system was designed using magnetic Fe₃O₄/carboxymethylchitosan nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄/CMCS NPs) as carrier and rapamycin (Rapa) as the antitumor drug. The process and formulation variables of Fe₃O₄/CMCS-Rapa NPs were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) with a three-level, three-factor Box-Behnken design (BBD). The independent variables were the mass ratio of Fe₃O₄/CMCS: Rapa, W/O phase ratio and stirring rate; dependent variables were drug loading content and entrapment efficiency. Mathematical equations and response surface plots were used to relate the dependent and independent variables. The optimized formulation was characterized by TEM, FT-IR, and in vitro drug release. Results for mean particle size, drug loading content, entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release of Fe₃O₄/CMCS-Rapa were found to be of 30 ± 2 nm, 6.32% ± 3.36%, 62.9% ± 2.30%, and 65.35% ± 2.46% at pH 7.4 after 70 h, respectively; also, they possess magnetism with a saturation magnetization of 67.1 emu/g, negligible coercivity and remanence at room temperature. Also the effect of magnetic targeted nanoparticles on the proliferation of human hepatoma cell line HepG2 in vitro was investigated. The results from MTT assays showed that the Fe₃O₄/CMCS-Rapa nanoparticles could effectively inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells, which displayed time or concentration-dependent manner. All these results indicated that the nanoparticles had the potential to be used as a novel drug carrier system.

两亲性羧甲基壳聚糖衍生物的表面活性研究

将羧甲基壳聚糖与烷基缩水甘油醚在碱性条件下反应,合成了一系列新型的两亲性化合物(2-羟基-3-烷氧基)丙基-羧甲基壳聚糖,对其表面性质的研究结果表明,对同一衍生物,在所研究范围内,取代度越高,降低表面张力的能力及效率越高;对同一取代度的不同衍生物,疏水链越长,降低表面张力的能力越强;对链较短和取代度较大的衍生物,如(2-羟基-3-丁氧基)丙基羧甲基壳聚糖(HBP-CMCHS),在外加电解质存在时溶液的表面张力曲线出现2个转折点,表明可能有分子内胶束形成;而对链较长的衍生物,如(2-羟基-3-十二烷氧基)丙基羧甲基壳聚糖(HDP-CMCHS),则无明显的临界胶束浓度,有外加电解质时表面张力曲线也未出现2个转折点.     

Viscometric Properties of Carboxymethylchitosan Solutions

The viscosity of carboxymethylchitosan solutions was measured via an Ubbelohde viscometer. The effect of carboxymethylchitosan concentration, pH of the carboxymethylchitosan solution, and concentration of added NaCl and CaCl₂ on the reduced viscosity of the carboxymethylchitosan solutions were comparatively investigated. The results showed that the reduced viscosity of the carboxymethylchitosan solution decreased with the increase of carboxymethylchitosan concentration. The reduced viscosity of carboxymethylchitosan decreased with the addition of NaCl and CaCl₂, and CaCl₂ affected the viscosity more significantly than NaCl. With the increase of pH, the reduced viscosity first decreased and then increased. The interaction between Ca²⁺ ions and carboxymethylchitosan was studied by means of dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy.
