The polysaccharide pectin (PC) was functionalized with the photo-responsive cinnamic acid hydrazide (CN) to produce the photo-crosslinkable PC-CN hydrogel material that was then evaluated as a carrier for encapsulation of the drug model aspirin. Cinnamic acid hydrazide was first prepared and then incorporated with the abundant -COOCH groups on the pectin chain via hydrazide linkage. The obtained polymeric derivatives have been characterized by means of instrumental techniques including FTIR and NMR. The obtained PC-CN hydrogels with different cinnamic functionality were also freeze-dried and examined by SEM, which indicated more coherent hydrogel texture by increasing the cinnamic functionalization. The effect of the photo-curing time, as well as the functionalization degree, on the swelling and gelation of the obtained hydrogel was also studied to evaluate the potential of the developed material in drug delivery systems using aspirin as a common and available drug model. The developed PC-CN hydrogel materials exhibited high potential as a drug carrier that enables the control of the drug release via optimizing both the degree of cinnamic functionality and the photo-curing time.

Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide and a principal substrate in biotechnological production processes. In Pseudomonas, this sugar is either imported directly into the cytosol or first oxidised to gluconate in the periplasm. While gluconate is taken up via a proton-driven symporter, the import of glucose is mediated by an ABC-type transporter, and hence both require energy.

Cinnamic Acid Sugar Ester Derivatives (CASEDs) are a class of natural compounds that exhibit several interesting biological activities. However, to date, no examples of their use in sunscreen formulations have been reported. Here, we describe the synthesis of a series of novel cinnamic acid esters of glucose (4a-g), ribose (4h) and lactose (4i) starting from the respective acetals 3.

Colistin-resistant (COLR-Ab) is an opportunistic pathogen commonly associated with nosocomial infections, and it is difficult to treat with current antibiotics. Therefore, new antimicrobial agents need to be developed for treatment. Based on this information, we investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and combination activities of -coumaric acid (-CA), ferulic acid (FA), and -methoxycinnamic acid (-MCA) against five COLR-Ab isolates.
