几丁质(chitin)又称甲壳素,化学名称为N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖多聚体,是一种天然的多糖类纤维素。几丁质脱乙酰基即为几丁糖(chitosan)。几丁质、几丁糖及其衍生物具有非常良好的生物安全性,而且可以自然降解。由于其独特的生物化学性能,几丁质、几丁糖及其衍生物已被证实具有抑制肿瘤细胞生长、抗粘连、缓释药物、降胆固醇、调节凝血功能和促进创面愈合等作用。国内已有关于其抑制肿瘤细胞生长、抗粘连、缓释药物 相似文献

昆虫几丁质合成及其调控研究前沿 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
几丁质合成与降解是昆虫最重要的生理过程之一。本文根据国外和作者自己的研究,综述了昆虫几丁质合成及其调控研究进展。昆虫几丁质的生物合成通路始于海藻糖,终止于几丁质,其中共有8个酶参与。目前研究最多的为海藻糖酶和几丁质合成酶。昆虫存在2个海藻糖酶基因和2个几丁质合成酶基因。可溶性海藻糖酶基因对昆虫表皮的几丁质合成影响更大,而膜结合海藻糖酶基因则主要影响中肠的几丁质合成。几丁质合成酶A主要负责表皮和气管几丁质的合成,而几丁质合成酶B则负责中肠围食膜的几丁质合成。目前,昆虫几丁质合成的调控途径主要有两种:利用RNAi技术和几丁质合成抑制剂。 相似文献

几丁质酶(EC3.2.1.14)是一种能降解几丁质(N乙酰氨基葡萄糖线性聚物)的糖苷酶。已经发现多种微生物、动物、植物都可产生几丁质酶。就植物而言,几丁质酶不仅存在于被子植物的双子叶植物和单子叶植物,而且也存在于裸子植物及蕨类植物中[1]。在植株中,几丁质酶可分布于根、茎、叶、花器、果实、种子诸器官。种子、根、花器中的几丁质酶含量一般较其它器官高。在正常情况下,植物中几丁质酶活性较低,但经诱导因子诱导,活性会迅速升高。真菌、细菌、病毒的侵染,真菌和植物细胞壁的组成成分,多糖等诱导物,伤害,乙烯,有机分子如水杨酸、氨基酸类… 相似文献

甲壳质脱乙酰基酶(chitindeacetylase)最初是从真菌毛霉(Mucor.rouxi)分离纯化的一种乙酰基转移酶。这种酶可以催化脱去甲壳质分子中N-乙酰葡糖胺链上的乙酰基,而使之变成壳多糖[1]。除几种真菌外,在昆虫中也发现了这种酶的存在[2]。真菌的甲壳质脱乙酰基酶主要参与真菌细胞壁的形成[3],还与真菌自溶的过程中的细胞壁裂解有关[4]。最近又发现它参与植物和病原微生物的相互作... 相似文献

Chitin synthesis inhibitors: old molecules and new developments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Abstract Chitin is the most abundant natural aminopolysaccharide and serves as a structural component of extracellular matrices. It is found in fungal septa, spores, and cell walls, and in arthropod cuticles and peritrophic matrices, squid pens, mollusk shells, nematode egg shells, and some protozoan cyst walls. As prokaryotes, plants and vertebrates including humans do not produce chitin, its synthesis is considered as an attractive target site for fungicides, insecticides, and acaricides. Although no chitin synthesis inhibitor has been developed into a therapeutic drug to treat fungal infections in humans, a larger number of compounds have been successfully launched worldwide to combat arthropod pests in agriculture and forestry. This review summarizes the latest advances on the mode of action of chitin synthesis inhibitors with a special focus on those molecules that act on a postcatalytic step of chitin synthesis. 相似文献

Chitin displays a highly rigid structure due to the vast intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thus hindering its dissolution and deacetylation using most solvents. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are special and environmentally friendly solvents composed of a hydrogen bond acceptor and a hydrogen bond donor. This allows them to dissolve chitin by disturbing its natural hydrogen bonding while establishing new bonds, hence turning the polymer more susceptible to solvents. Therefore, four distinct DESs (choline chloride-lactic acid ([Ch]Cl:LA), choline chloride:oxalic acid ([Ch]Cl:OA), choline chloride:urea ([Ch]Cl:U) and betaine-glycerol (Bet:G)) were applied in chitin dissolution, being the most performant ones further applied in its homogenous N-deacetylation with NaOH. In this work, a milder and more biocompatible approach was carried out by using 30 wt% NaOH at 80°C, instead of the typical ≥40 wt% NaOH at temperatures ≥100°C. Herein, the reaction process took up to 18 hours, being the results analyzed through ATR-FTIR. Chitin was converted into chitosan with a 70-80% degree of deacetylation (DDA) in a short period while using homogenous conditions. These promising results provide the first proof of concept of the ability of Bet:G and [Ch]Cl:LA-based DESs to be used as a greener approach for the chitin homogeneous N-deacetylation. 相似文献

There has been no study on the chitin structure of wasp species. Here, we selected the three most common wasp species belonging to the family Vespidae for chitin extraction and characterization. Chitin was isolated from each wasp species and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X‐ray diffractometry (XRD), elemental analysis (EA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chitin contents of Vespa crabro, Vespa orientalis, and Vespula germanica were 8.3, 6.4, and 11.9%, respectively. The crystalline index (CrI) values for the chitin extracted from each species were 69.88, 53.92, and 50%, respectively. The most important finding of the study is that although the same method was used to extract chitin from each of the three wasp species, the degree of acetylation was different: for V. crabro and V. orientalis it was 96.85 and 99.82% (the chitin was extremely pure), respectively, whereas that for V. germanica the chitin was 79.83%. 相似文献

Chitin synthesis in third-instar Lucilia cuprina larvae cultured at 23 °C was investigated using in vivo and in vitro systems, the latter with whole and with homogenized integuments. Synthesis was at a maximum between 24 and 48h after ecdysis from the second instar. Chitin was deposited in layers, and labeled GlcNAc was rapidly cleared from the hemolymph. In in vitro homogenate systems, the rapid conversion of UDP-([14C]GlcN)Ac to ([14C]GlcN)Ac and its 1-phosphate derivative contributed to the low incorporation of this precursor into chitin. The extent of the conversion was reduced by the addition of KCN or phenylthiourea. In in vivo and in vitro tissue systems the level of incorporation of ([14C]ClcN)Ac was higher than that of UDP-([14C]GlcN)Ac. However, in in vitro homogenate systems there was no difference unless UTP was added when the level of incorporation of only ([14C]GlcN)Ac was increased (by a factor of 9). Incorporation of UDP-([14C]GlcN)Ac, but not that of ([14C]GlcN)Ac, was decreased when larvae were deprived of food. Soluble oligosaccharides were detected in in vitro homogenate systems. They were formed during chitin synthesis and may represent newly initiated chitin chains. A reappraisal of current ideas on chitin synthesis in insects is needed. 相似文献

1. Chitin is known to promote skin wound healing. In this study, chitin, prepared from Zuwai crab shell, was used as a bridge between the proximal and distal stumps of cut hypoglossal nerves in shrews. We compared the effects of chitin on the regeneration of transected right hypoglossal nerve axons, with those of porcine dermis, bovine dermal aterocollagen, and autologous nerve bundles.2. To assess the survival of neurones, the size of neuronal cell body, and number of motoneurones were determined in the absence of any bridged material and in the presence of porcine dermis, bovine dermal aterocollagen, chitin, or autologous nerve bundles as a bridge.3. Our results revealed a significantly better outcome in chitin and autologous nerve bridged groups; the size of neuronal cell body and number of hypoglossal neurones were higher than in the other groups. Chitin also enhanced the regeneration of neurones; the number of horseradish peroxide positive neurones indicative of repaired axonal processes was significantly higher in chitin and autologous nerve-bridged groups than in other groups.4. Our results demonstrated that the use of chitin sheet or autograft successfully prevented the death of severed neurones and promoted the regeneration of the lesioned nerve. Although the mechanisms underlying the effects of chitin are still unknown, chitin seems to be a potentially useful biocompatible material for nerve repair and regeneration. 相似文献
