AI Article Synopsis
- Chitin nanocrystals (ChiNC) were created using a treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid and choline chloride deep eutectic solvent, resulting in crystals that vary in size (12-44 nm wide, 206-399 nm long) while preserving their crystalline structure and functional groups.
- The immobilization of porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) onto ChiNC resulted in PPL@ChiNC, which displayed enzyme loading of 35.6 mg/g and an impressive activity recovery of 82.5%.
- The properties of PPL@ChiNC, including thermal stability and adaptability to changes in pH and temperature, were enhanced compared to free PPL, suggesting potential applications in biocatal
Article Abstract
Chitin nanocrystal (ChiNC) was fabricated based on p-toluenesulfonic acid -choline chloride deep eutectic solvent treatment. The obtained ChiNC was about 12-44 nm in width and 206-399 nm in length. The crystalline structure and the functional groups of ChiNC were maintained during the preparation process. Moreover, porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) was successfully immobilized onto the ChiNC to form the immobilized PPL (PPL@ChiNC). The resulting PPL@ChiNC has enzyme loading and activity recovery of 35.6 mg/g and 82.5%, respectively. The thermal stability, pH and temperature adaptabilities of PPL@ChiNC was improved, comparing with free PPL. The demonstrated DES treatment process was efficient for ChiNC preparation and the as-prepared ChiNC exhibited great potentials in biocatalysis and biomedical field.

This study introduces an innovative bio-based sorbent bead crafted by integrating chitosan (CS) biopolymers, Fe(NO3)3 and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) via glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The primary focus of this study was the concurrent separation of diverse tetracycline antibiotics (TCs), followed by rigorous reversed-phase liquid chromatography analysis. The fabricated CS/Fe@PDA sorbent beads were comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealing a surface rich in active carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) moieties.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). A current study investigated the renoprotective effects of the trinitroglycerine (TNG) combination with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) on renal I/R-induced AKI. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): Sham, I/R, TNG (50 mg/kg) + I/R, CNPs (60 mg/kg) + I/R, and TNG-CNPs + I/R.
