Drug delivery using reduction-responsive hydrogel based on carboxyethyl-succinoglycan with highly improved rheological, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.
Carbohydrate Polymers 2024 July 2
The development of exopolysaccharide-based polymers is gaining increasing attention in various industrial biotechnology fields for materials such as thickeners, texture modifiers, anti-freeze agents, antioxidants, and antibacterial agents. High-viscosity carboxyethyl-succinoglycan (CE-SG) was directly synthesized from succinoglycan (SG) isolated from Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm 1021, and its structural, rheological, and physiological properties were investigated. The viscosity of CE-SG gradually increased in proportion to the degree of carboxyethylation substitution. In particular, when the molar ratio of SG and 3-chloropropionic acid was 1:100, the viscosity was significantly improved by 21.18 times at a shear rate of 10 s-1 . Increased carboxyethylation of SG also improved the thermal stability of CE-SG. Furthermore, the CE-SG solution showed 90.18 and 91.78 % antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and effective antioxidant activity against DPPH and hydroxyl radicals. In particular, CE-SG hydrogels coordinated with Fe3+ ions, which improved both viscosity and rheological properties, while also exhibiting reduction-responsive drug release through 1,4-dithiothreitol. The results of this study suggest that SG derivatives, such as CE-SG, can be used as functional biomaterials in various fields such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.
