Product Name
Carboxymethyl Chitosan
Product Overview
Carboxylated chitosan, also known as carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), is a chitosan derivative obtained through chemical modification.
Technical Parameter
Appearance:White or light yellow powder
Product Features
Improved water solubility: Through carboxymethylation, the solubility of chitosan is significantly improved, allowing it to dissolve over a wider pH range, especially near neutral or alkaline conditions. Biocompatibility: CMCS maintains the biocompatibility of chitosan and can interact well with human tissues and cells to reduce inflammatory reactions. Biodegradability: As a derivative, CMCS is still biodegradable and can be broken down by enzymes in organisms, reducing the risk of long-term accumulation. Chemical functionality: Carboxyl functional groups provide active chemical sites that can be further chemically modified and functionalized to suit different application needs. Enhanced adsorption capacity: The introduction of carboxyl groups enhances the adsorption capacity of CMCS with a variety of molecules, including drug molecules, proteins and other biomolecules. Ability to form gels: CMCS can form gels, which is very useful in drug delivery and tissue engineering, and can serve as a three-dimensional scaffold to promote cell growth.
Application Fields
Medical field: CMCS has been widely researched and applied in the medical field due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability and unique physical and chemical properties. It can be used in drug delivery systems, including as a drug carrier, promoting drug release, etc. Tissue engineering: CMCS is used in tissue engineering due to its excellent biocompatibility and osteogenic ability, such as bone tissue regeneration, dental tissue regeneration and periodontal tissue regeneration in oral tissue engineering. Wound healing: CMCS has the ability to promote wound healing, promote the growth of fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes, and accelerate the wound repair process. Antibacterial and anti-infectious: CMCS has antibacterial properties and can be used to fight infection and promote wound healing.
