Chitosan Quaternary Ammonium Salt

What is Chitosan Quaternary Ammonium Salt?

Chitosan Quaternary Ammonium Salt is a type of water-soluble chitosan derivative obtained by introducing hydrophilic quaternary ammonium salt groups into chitosan. Its full name is hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride chitosan, referred to as HACC. It not only inherits the film-forming, antibacterial, flocculating, and biodegradable properties of chitosan, but also has better water solubility, stronger positive charge, and a wider pH range of application. It has been widely used in biomedicine, cosmetics and other fields.

Advantages

Good water solubility

Easily soluble in water, soluble in both acidic and alkaline conditions, and the solution is stable.

Excellent moisturizing

It has strong hygroscopicity and moisturizing properties, and can be used in cosmetics to keep the skin hydrated.

Significant antistatic properties

It can reduce static electricity accumulation and is suitable for industries such as textiles and plastics to prevent problems caused by static electricity.

Excellent antibacterial properties

It has an inhibitory effect on a variety of bacteria and fungi, and its antibacterial effect is better than chitosan and other derivatives.

Excellent film-forming properties

It can form a transparent, tough film with good mechanical properties and barrier properties.

Good biocompatibility and biodegradability

It is non-toxic to the human body, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and suitable for medicine, food and other fields.

Efficient cationic adsorption

It can adsorb negatively charged substances, such as heavy metal ions and organic matter, for water treatment and environmental protection.

Function

Anti-inflammatory

Chitosan Quaternary Ammonium Salt has anti-inflammatory effects, can inhibit inflammatory reactions, and reduce redness, swelling, and pain caused by inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory mechanism may be related to inhibiting the release and activity of inflammatory mediators.

Antioxidant

It has antioxidant effects, can scavenge free radicals, and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells. Its antioxidant mechanism may be related to chelating metal ions and directly scavenging free radicals.

Antibacterial and antiviral

It has broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral activities, and can effectively inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Its mechanism is to change the permeability of microbial cell membranes, causing leakage of cell contents, thereby inhibiting the reproduction of microorganisms.

Promote wound healing

It can promote cell growth and tissue repair, accelerate wound healing, and its good biocompatibility and biodegradability make it an ideal wound dressing material.

Immunomodulation

It can activate the immune system and enhance the body's immune function. Its immunomodulatory effect may be related to its promotion of macrophage activity and increased cytokine secretion.

Lowering blood lipids and blood sugar levels

It can lower blood lipid and blood sugar levels. Its blood lipid lowering mechanism may be related to inhibiting lipid absorption and promoting lipid metabolism, while its blood sugar lowering mechanism may be related to promoting insulin secretion and improving insulin resistance.

Applications

Food

Preservatives: have antibacterial effects and can be used as food preservatives to extend the shelf life of food.

Preservatives: can inhibit the respiration of fruits and vegetables, delay their aging and maintain freshness.

Cosmetics

Moisturizers: have good moisturizing properties and can be used as moisturizers in cosmetics to keep the skin hydrated.

Antibacterial agents: have antibacterial effects and can be used to make antibacterial cosmetics, such as antibacterial facial cleansers, antibacterial toners, etc.

Medicine

Wound dressings: have good biocompatibility and biodegradability, can promote wound healing, reduce the risk of infection, and are often used to make wound dressings.

Drug carriers: can be used as drug carriers to control the release rate of drugs and improve the efficacy of drugs.

Antibacterial materials: have broad-spectrum antibacterial effects and can be used to make antibacterial materials.

Preparation Method

Dissolve chitosan in water at a ratio of 1g:25mL, stir and dissolve at 40℃, adjust pH to 7 with NaOH, continue stirring for 30min, add 5% HAc at a ratio of 1g:25mL, stir at 40℃ for 1h, then add 0.2g of dehydrated glyceryl trimethyl ammonium chloride, heat at 100℃, 420W microwave for 3min, precipitate the product with acetone, filter and dry.
