Application

Glycol chitosan is soluble at neutral pH and possesses potentially useful biological properties such as good biocompatibility accelerate wound healing, and antimicrobial properties, and it is less toxic and provide to stimulates chondrocyte growth at low concentrations. Methacrylated glycol chitosan is photo- and thermally cross-linkable and is used as a precursor for the preparation of hydrogels used in biomedical applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and 3D bioprinting.

Chitosan was selectively N-acylated with various carboxylic anhydrides, e.g., acetic, propionic, n-butyric, n-valeric and n-hexanoic anhydrides, in the presence of methanol. The degree of N-acylation of about 20-50% was obtainable without occurrence of gelation by using carboxylic anhydrides of 0.3-1.2
