Chitin Derivatives

Chemical modification is one of the most effective methods to improve the biological activity of chitin. In the current study, we modified C3-OH and C6-OH of chitin (CT) and successfully synthesized 6-amino-chitin (NCT) and 3,6-diamino-chitin (DNCT) through a series of chemical reactions. The structure of NCT and DNCT were characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, 13C NMR, XRD, and SEM. The inhibitory effects of CT, NCT, and DNCT against six kinds of phytopathogen (F. oxysporum f. sp. cucumerium, B. cinerea, C. lagenarium, P. asparagi, F. oxysporum f. niveum, and G. zeae) were evaluated using disk diffusion method in vitro. Meanwhile, carbendazim and amphotericin B were used as positive controls. Results revealed that 6-amino-chitin (NCT) and 3,6-diamino-chitin (DNCT) showed improved antifungal properties compared with pristine chitin. Moreover, DNCT exhibited the better antifungal property than NCT. Especially, while the inhibition zone diameters of NCT are ranged from 11.2 to 16.3 mm, DNCT are about 11.4–20.4 mm. These data demonstrated that the introduction of amino group into chitin derivatives could be key to increasing the antifungal activity of such compounds, and the greater the number of amino groups in the chitin derivatives, the better their antifungal activity was.

Background: Biosurfactants are amphiphilic surface active compounds that produced by several microorganisms, including, bacteria and fungi. Biodegradability, low toxicity, applications diversity and functionality under extreme conditions are characterized them from chemically biosurfactants. It is found that, Rhodotorula species, read yeasts, have high potency for biosurfactant producing. Recently, antimicrobial activities of biosurfactants have been subjected for new antibiotic therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate biosurfactant production by the different strains of Rhodotorula species in laboratory conditions. In addition, antifungal activity of produced biosurfactant was assessed against several saprophytic fungi. In the present study 54 strains of Rhodotorula including, R. glutinis (48 strains), R. minuta (2 strains), R. mucilaginosa (2 strains) and Rhodotorula species (2 strains) were screened for biosurfactant production. The biosurfactant was produced using the Sabouraud dextrose broth medium and confirmed by specific tests. Antifungal assay was also evaluated by disk diffusion method and the serial dilutions of biosurfactant. In the present study, although all tested strains were capable to produce biosurfactant in vitro, the degree of biosurfactant production was varied among stains. 7.4% strains had the highest (+5) biosurfactant activity followed by 16.7%, 29.5%, 25.8% and 20.4% had +4, +3, +2 and +1, respectively. In the present study, all tested fungi were inhibited at 40 &micro;l of biosurfactant. Rhodotorula species are appropriate organisms for the production of biosurfactants and R. glutinis strains have the greatest ability to producing biosurfactant than another species. Furthermore, our results were demonstrated that the produced biosurfactant by R. glutinis presented a valuable potential for biopharmaceutical applications.

Abstract Objective: To assess the antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of an orthodontic bonding material containing an antibacterial agent. Materials and Methods: Superbond C&B (4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride/methyl methacrylate-tri-n-butyl borane [4-META/MMA-TBB]) resin was mixed with benzalkonium chloride (BAC) to obtain final BAC concentrations of 0.25%, 0.75%, 1.25%, 1.75%, 2.5%, and 5.0% (wt/ wt). Antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus was evaluated by soaking the BAC-resin in distilled water at 37°C for periods of 30, 90, and 180 days. Antibacterial activity of the BAC-resin was measured by the disk diffusion method, and the inhibition zone around each sample was measured and recorded. For evaluation of cytotoxicity, BAC-resin samples were put into cell culture inserts placed above human gingival cells and were incubated at 37°C for 1, 3, and 6 days. Cytotoxicity was assessed with a tetrazolium bromide reduction assay. Results: The antibacterial activity of BAC-incorporated resin samples decreased significantly after immersion in water for 180 days, regardless of BAC concentration. The antibacterial activity of nonimmersed resin containing 0.25% or 1.75% BAC was comparable with that of 5.0% BAC-resin immersed for 180 days. In cytotoxicity tests, most cells died when exposed to resins containing 1.75%, 2.5%, and 5% BAC. No difference was observed between resins containing 0.25% and 0.75% BAC at 1, 3, and 6 days of culture. Conclusions: The addition of BAC to 4-META/MMA-TBB resin confers an antibacterial effect even after immersion in water, and 4-META/MMA-TBB resin containing 0.25% to 0.75% BAC has no significant cytotoxic effect.

Abstract Background Most of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated from Thai patients are resistant to ciprofloxacin and ciprofloxacin is no longer recommended for therapy of gonococcal infection in Thailand. Sitafloxacin is a new generation of fluoroquinolones that contains in vitro activities against many bacteria that are resistant to ciprofloxacin. Sitafloxacin has a high concentration in urine. The objective of the study was to determine in vitro activity of sitafloxacin against ciprofloxacin-resistant N.gonorrheae. Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility tests for 52 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from patients attended Bangrak Hospital in Bangkok were performed. The tested antibiotics were ceftriaxone, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, and sitafloxacin. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and inhibition zone diameters were determined by standard agar dilution and disk diffusion method, respectively, according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) 2013. Results All 52 N.gonorrheae isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone (MIC &lt; 0.025 mg/l, zone diameter &gt; 35mm) and cefixime (MIC &lt; 0.025 mg/l, zone diameter &gt; 31mm). All N. gonorrheae isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin (MIC &gt; 1 mg/l, zone diameter &lt; 27 mm). The inhibition zone diameters of sitafloxacin (5 microgram disk) against 52 isolates of N. gonorrhoeae were &gt; 41 mm in 35 isolates (67%) and between 28 and 40 mm in 17 isolates (33%). If the cut-off value of inhibition zone diameter of resistance to ciprofloxacin (&lt;27 mm) is applied, no isolates of N. gonorrheae is considered to be resistant to sitafloxacin. Conclusion Sitafloxacin seems to be active against ciprofloxacin-resistant N. gonorrheae. A clinical study on therapy of gonococcal urethritis due to ciprofloxacin-resistant N. gonorrheae should be considered. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
