    Description

    Glycol chitosan is a chitosan derivative with ethylene glycol branches. Glycol chitosan enhances membrane permeability and leadkage in Glycine max Harosoy 63W cells. Glycol chitosan is biocompatible and biodegradable[1][2][3]. Glycol chitosan inhibits E. coli, S. aureus and S. enteritidis growths with MIC values of 4 μg/mL, 32 μg/mL and <0.5 μg/mL, respectively[4].

    IC50 & Target

    MIC: 4 μg/mL (E. coli), 32 μg/mL (S. aureus) and <0.5 μg/mL (S. enteritidis)[4]

    In Vitro

    Glycol chitosan derivatives have been successfully applied to deliver antimicrobial agents and anticancer drugs such as chemodrugs, genes, and photosensitizers (PSs), either by physical encapsulation or chemical conjugation. Glycol chitosan can be directly linked with hydrophobic drugs to generate amphiphilic compounds that can also form nanoparticles (NPs) for cell imaging and drug delivery. The use of Glycol chitosan derivatives for cell imaging and drug delivery has several advantages, including superb tumor-homing ability in the case of Glycol chitosan NPs based on enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, low cytotoxicity, ease of chemical modification, great biocompatibility, and biodegradability[1].
    The hydrophobic modification of Glycol chitosan is already confirmed, such as Glycol chitosan bearing a 5β-cholanic acid moiety and deoxycholic acid-Glycol chitosan, could self-assemble into nanoparticles, acting as a promising vehicle for hydrophobic drugs and genes[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (0.03 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (0.03 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
