摘要
Chitosan exhibits good biocompatibility and some antibacterial activity, making it a popular choice in biomedicine, personal care products, and food packaging. Despite its advantages, the limited antibacterial effectiveness of chitosan hinders its widespread use. Introducing a six-membered heterocyclic structure through chemical modification can significantly enhance its antimicrobial properties and broaden its potential applications. In order to explore the effect of six-membered heterocyclic structure on the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of chitosan. In this study, seven chitosan derivatives containing six-membered heterocyclics were prepared. They were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Cell viability assay showed that they were non-toxic. The antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were evaluated. Our research findings demonstrate that increasing the hydrophobicity, alkalinity and charge density of the substitute groups improved the antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of chitosan. This study also offers valuable insights into the quantitative structure-activity relationships of chitosan derivatives in terms of antibacterial and antibiofilm activities.
