Under accelerated industrial developments environment pollution comes out to be very stirious. Especially the ions of heavy metal from wastewater, even if they are minimal, accumulated in ecology circle and do finally injury to human health. The general process for removal of heavy metals include coagulation and following sedimentation, ion -exchange and active carbon adsorption and sedimentation that applicate in popular, needs the expense of coagulant the additional treatment of sludge on the general process of coagulation and sedimentation. It is also a serious problem that the second pollution caused by coagulant. However chelating adsorption that uses natural chelating high- molecular compound has not pollution problem Among chelating high- molecules, the diminishing chitin that contained in crustaceans as crawfish and crab in our country with affluent water resources are easy to get. So it is advantageous to use this ubiquitous material for removing heavy metals because we could reuse natural resource. In this research, the author tested the effectiveness of the adsorption and removal of heavy metal ions by chitin and its derivatives. Chitin and cellulose became beads and used as flocculant, in this test. The results are as follows . First, bead showed higher removal ratio than powder in the comparative test on adsorbents such as chitin, chitosan and cellulose. Secondly, in the variety test by the kinds of adsorbent and time. chitosan bead and cellulose bead that showed the highest removal ratio. One hour need to remove the ions of heavy metal. Thirdly, the results of the adsorption degree test by pH revealed high removal ratio adsorption of chitin, cellulose and chitosan bead in alkalin condition but chitosan bead in acidic condition.

To investigate anti-HIV-1 activity of water soluble chitosans, sulfated chitosan derivatives were prepared in mild condition. Various sulfated chitosan derivatives (N-3,6-O-S-chitosan, N-desulfated 3,6-O-S-chitosan, 3,6-O-S-chitin, and 3,6-O-sulfated-N-(o-carboxybenzoyl) chitosan) were synthesized with sulfurtrioxidepyridene complex in pyridine solvent. Characterization of the sulfated chitosan derivatives was carried out by $^{13}C$ NMR and IR spectroscopies. To observe ionic reaction properties, pKas of the sulfated chitosan derivatives and chitosan of low molecular weight were estimated by potentiometric titration. The sulfated chitosan derivatives had high water solubility, pKas (pKa : 7.7) of N-3,6-O-S-chitosan and N-desulfated 3,6-O-S-chitosan were increased than pKa of water insoluble chitosan (pKa : 6.2), These results suggest the participation of electrostatic interaction of amino and sulfate groups on the sulfated chitosans. Anti-HIV-1 drugs, such as AZT, ddC, and ddI for anti-HIV activity had higher selective index compared with SCB-chitosan but N-3,6-O-S-chitosan has shown higher selective index compared with ddC and ddI as HIV drugs.. These results suggest that sulfated chitosan derivatives were expected as an anti-HIV drug with differential driving force mechanism against some nucleoside analogs drug in the future.

셀룰로오스 아밀로오스 키토산, 키틴, 알긴산, 풀루란 또는 아밀로펙틴을 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시)]펜타노일 클로라이드(NA6C)와 반응시켜 전치환 또는 거의 전치환 6- [4- (4'- (니트로페닐아조)펜옥시카보닐)] 펜타노화 다당류 유도체들을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정의 거동들을 검토하였다. NA6C의 경우와 같이, 모든 다당류 유도체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 이러한 사실은 다당류 유도체들의 액정 구조는 다당류 골격에 의해 결정되는 것이 아니고 mesogenic 곁사슬 그룹들에 의해 결정됨을 시사한다. 이것이 셀룰로오스 유도체들을 제외한 다당류 유도체들이 열방성 네마틱 상을 형성한다고 하는 최초의 보고이다. 다당류 유도체들에 있어서 관찰되는 네마틱 상들의 열적 안정성과 질서도는 아조벤젠 그룹들을 유연한 스페이서를 통하여 유연한 혹은 강직한 골격들에 도입시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과들과 현저히 다르다. 이들의 결과를 주사슬과 곁사슬의 배열 그리고 주사슬의 유연성의 차이와 관련하에서 검토하였다.

Twelve different derivatives were synthesised from chitin/chitosan[1, 2, 3]. Their structures have been determined by different physical methods. The bioassay screening on antifungal and antibacterial activities of all these compounds showed that most of them had significant activity and they can inhibite the growth of some fungi and bacterias : E. coli, S. pyogenes, F. oxysporum, P. oryzae, that caused the spoilage of fresh fruits and foods. Furthermore, all of these compounds are non-toxic (LD$\_$50/>50g/kg) and can be applied for food preservation.

Chitin의 탈아세틸화로 얻어지는 화합물인 chitosan과 chitooligosaccharide는 다양한 생리활성 기능을 나타내므로 생물의학적인 응용에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구는 수용성 chitooligosaccharide가 생쥐의 간 기능에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 6주 동안 3% cholesterol를 식이한 생쥐에서는 혈장 cholesterol 함량이 증가하였으나, 1% chitooligosaccharide와 3% cholesterol을 함께 식이한 생쥐에서는 혈장 cholesterol 함량이 23% 정도 감소하였다. 그러나 혈장내 HDL-cholesterol과 간내 cholesterol 함량에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 한편, 15% ethanol을 8주간 투여한 생쥐에서는 inflammation, necrosis, 지방구의 축적, GPT의 활성 증가 등 간 상해가 관찰되었다. 그와 반면에 0.5% chitooligosaccharide와 15% ethanol을 함께 투여한 생쥐에서는 ethanol에 의해 유발된 간 상해가 현저히 억제되어 지방구의 축적이 관찰되지 않았고, 혈장의 GPT 활성이 25%정도 감소하였다. 따라서, chitooligosaccharide가 생쥐에서 혈장 cholesterol 함량을 감소시키고, 알코올성 지방간을 예방하는 등 부분적인 기능이 있음을 보여주었다.

셀룰로오스, 아밀로오스, 키토산, 키틴, 알긴산, 풀루란 또는 아밀로펙틴을 (8-콜레스테릴옥시카보닐)헵타 노일 클로라이드 (CH8C)와 반응시켜 전치환 또는 거의 전치환 (8-콜레스테릴옥시카보닐) 헵타노화 다당류 유도체들을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정의 거동들을 검토하였다. CH8C 의 경우와 같이, 아밀로펙틴 유도체를 제외한 모든 다당류 유도체들은 좌측방향의 나선구조를 지니며 온도상승에 의해 광학피치들 $({\lambda_m}'s)$이 감소하는 단방성 콜레스테릴 상들을 형성하였다. 아밀로펙틴 유도체도 좌측방향의 나선구조를 지닌 단방성 콜레스테릴 상을 형성하나 다른 다당류 유도체들과 달리 콜레스테릴 상의 전 범위에서 반사색깔들을 나타내지 않았다. 이러한 사실은 콜레스테릴 그룹에 의한 나선의 비틀림력은 아밀로펙틴 중의 분기구조에 민감하게 의존함을 시사한다. 다당류 유도체들에서 관찰되는 액정 상의 열적 안정성과 질서도, 동일한 온도에서의 ${\lambda}_m$ 의 크기 그리고 ${\lambda}_m$의 온도 의존성은 콜레스테릴 그룹들을 유연한 스페이서들을 통하여 유연한 흑은 반강직한 골격들에 도입시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과와 전혀 다르다. 이들의 결과를 주사슬과 곁사슬의 화학구조 그리고 주사슬의 유연성의 차이와 관련하에서 검토하였다.

Garlic is a medicinal plant used throughout the world for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiplatelet activities. Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide obtained from chitin, and derivatives of chitosan have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion. We hypothesized that fermented preparations of these products may possess stronger antiplatelet effects than the non-fermented forms owing to the increased bioavailability of the bioactive compounds produced during fermentation. Therefore, we compared these compounds via in vitro and ex vivo platelet aggregation assays by using standard light transmission aggregometry and ex vivo granule secretions from rat platelets. We found that fermented preparations exerted more potent and significant inhibition of platelet aggregation both in vitro and ex vivo. Likewise, ATP release from dense granules of platelets was also significantly inhibited in fermented preparation-treated rat platelets compared to that in non-fermented preparation-treated ones. We concluded that fermented preparations exerted more potent effects on platelet function both in vitro and ex vivo, possibly as a result of the increased bioavailability of active compounds produced during fermentation. We therefore suggest that fermented products may be potent therapeutics against platelet-related CVDs and can be used as antiplatelet and antithrombotic agents.

We have synthesized the water-insoluble chitosan derivative, N-dithiocarboxy chitosan sodium salt, through the reaction of chitosan with carbon disulfide in the presence of alkali metal hydroxide, Chitosan itself has been prepared using chitin, one of the most abundant compounds in nature, as a starting material. To elucidate this natural polymer the capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions, we have performed adsorption experiments using chitosan derivatives of various average molecular weights with different contents of sulfur. The effect of pH, adsorption time and temperature on adsorption efficiency was also studied. The adsorbent derived from chitosan of average molecular weight ranging $5,700{\sim}20,000$ was shown to have the highest capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions. Adsorbing efficiency was increased as the reaction time was increased and as the reaction temperature range of $25{\sim}45^{\circ}C$. The adsorption capacity at various pH, however, appeared to vary depending on the heavy metal ions studied.

The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is increasing rapidly in developed countries, with CVDs now representing the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Natural products and ethnomedicines have been shown to reduce the risk of CVDs.

Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide obtained from chitin, and derivatives of chitosan have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion.

키틴의 탈아세틸화로 얻어지는 화합물인 키토산과 키토올리고당은 다양한 생리활성 기능을 나타내므로 생물의학적인 응용에 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구는 키토올리고당과 수용성 키토산의 열처리 후 올리고당 함량의 변화와 어린이 바이러스성 설사를 유발하는 HRV(human rotavirus)의 MA-104 세포감염에 억제작용을 나타내는지 확인하기 위하여 수행하였다. 그 결과 열처리 후 비색법으로 측정한 올리고당의 함량은 수용성키토산의 경우 62.67 %에서 60.45%로 약 2%정도, 키토올리고당은 59.48%에서 54.31%로 약 5%정도 감소하였다. 키토산 유래물질의 항로타바이러스성 탐색은 AEC staining으로 측정하였으며, 수용성키토산은 농도 0.125% 이상에서 HRV S2의 세포감염에 있어 90% 이상의 감염 억제효과가 있었으며, HRV Wa의 경우 89% 이상의 억제효과가 있었다. 키토올리고당은 HRV의 세포감염에 억제효과가 없었다. 열처리한 시료의 경우, 수용성 키토산과 키토올리고당 모두 열처리가 HRV의 감염 억제에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중합도가 높은 수용성키토산은 열처리를 거치는 식품에 첨가하여도 그 기능이 크게 감소하지 않으므로 향후 식품첨가물로서 이용가능성이 클 것으로 사료된다.
