Chemical Modification of Polysaccharides
نویسنده
چکیده
This review covers methods for modifying the structures of polysaccharides. The introduction of hydrophobic, acidic, basic, or other functionality into polysaccharide structures can alter the properties of materials based on these substances. The development of chemical methods to achieve this aim is an ongoing area of research that is expected to become more important as the emphasis on using renewable starting materials and sustainable processes increases in the future. The methods covered in this review include ester and ether formation using saccharide oxygen nucleophiles, including enzymatic reactions and aspects of regioselectivity; the introduction of heteroatomic nucleophiles into polysaccharide chains; the oxidation of polysaccharides, including oxidative glycol cleavage, chemical oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids, and enzymatic oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes; reactions of uronic-acid-based polysaccharides; nucleophilic reactions of the amines of chitosan; and the formation of unsaturated polysaccharide derivatives.

متن کاملA Review on Grafting Modification of Polysaccharides by Microwave Irradiation- Distinctive Practice for Application in Drug Delivery
Most of the natural polysaccharides have been used as food and pharmaceutical excipients due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, low cost and easy availability. Diverse approaches such as etherification, crosslinking and graft co-polymerization can be used for the chemical modification of natural polymers. Grafting process is a suitable method to add new properties to a natural polymer...
متن کاملSynthesis of polysaccharide-b-PEG block copolymers by oxime click.
The oxime click reaction is shown to be a straightforward methodology for the synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-polysaccharide diblock copolymers. The method is applicable to unmodified polysaccharides with a reductive end as demonstrated for dextran, hyaluronic acid and chitosan. Notably the oxime click reaction is applied for the first time to the end modification of polysaccharides.
