Chitosan (MW 150000) is a polycationic linear polysaccharide derived from chitin with a molecular weight of 150000. It is a versatile biomaterial due to its non-toxicity, low allergenicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.
- Exhibits antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities.
- Reduces growth potential and induces pro-apoptotic effects in certain melanoma cells.
- Low-molecular-weight chitosan can penetrate bacterial cell walls, inhibit DNA transcription and mRNA synthesis.
- High-molecular-weight chitosan can bind to negatively charged components on the bacterial cell wall, altering cell permeability and blocking transport.
- Can be used in water treatment, wound-healing materials, pharmaceutical excipients or drug carriers, obesity research, and as a scaffold for tissue engineering.
