By modifying chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) with the Eschweiler-Clarke reaction, the chitosan oligosaccharide derivative DMCOS was synthesized. FT-IR, 1D and 2D NMR spectra, MALDI-ToF MS, and elemental analysis were applied to analyze the structure of DMCOS, which revealed that the primary amines were converted into tertiary amines after methylation. DMCOS displayed less thermal stability than COS. In comparison to COS, it was discovered that DMCOS possessed more potent antimicrobial activity against four bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and three yeast strains (Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida parapsilosis). The antioxidant studies indicated that DMCOS had less antioxidant activity than COS. Consequently, ROS level elevated in C. albicans cells following treatment with DMCOS, which decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. It was recalled that DMCOS may kill C. albicans by causing mitochondrial damage. In addition, DMCOS was demonstrated to be non-cytotoxic.

Oleanolic acid (OA) is a food-derived bioactive component with antidiabetic activity, but its water solubility and oral bioavailability are notably restricted. In this study, to overcome these limitations, ursodeoxycholic acid-modified chitosan oligosaccharide (UCOS) was synthesized to encapsulate OA in self-assembled nanomicelles (UCOS-OA). The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of UCOS-OA were 86 % and 11 %, respectively.

Diabetic wounds are notoriously difficult to heal due to impaired cell repair mechanisms, reduced angiogenesis, and a heightened risk of infection. Fibroblasts play a vital role in wound healing by producing extracellular matrix (ECM) components and various growth factors, but their function is inhibited in diabetic wounds. Chitooligosaccharides (COS), intermediate products of chitosan degradation, have shown efficacy in promoting tissue repair, yet their role in diabetic wound healing remains underexplored.

Inflammatory bowel disease involves excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydrogen sulfide (HS) at inflammatory sites. Nanozyme-mediated ROS and HS scavenging therapy is promising for colitis treatment. Here, we synthesized a multiple ROS scavenging CuO nanoparticle and first explored its HS scavenging capacity.

Zinc is essential for maintaining the integrity and repair of small intestinal epithelial cells while zinc deficiency could induce the inflammatory infiltration and imbalance of intestinal flora in the intestine. In this study, glycosylation between oyster protein hydrolysate (OPH) and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) was conducted and used as the carrier of zinc ions (OCZn). The results of zeta potential and particle size distribution showed that the OPH-COS successfully bound to zinc ions to form OCZn with a surface zinc content of 0.

Islet cell transplantation (ICT) represents a promising therapeutic approach for addressing diabetes mellitus. However, the islet inflammation during transplantation significantly reduces the surgical outcome rate, which is related to the polarization of macrophages. Chitooligosaccharides (COS) was previously reported which could modulate the immune system, alleviate inflammation, regulate gut microecology, and repair the intestinal barrier.
