Synthesis, characterization and biomedical applications of a novel Schiff base on methyl acrylate-functionalized chitosan bearing p-nitrobenzaldehyde groups

Amino-functionalization has gained significant attention in the chemical modification of carbohydrate polymers due to their potential biomedical applications. Here, the preparation of innovative functionalized chitosan bearing amino-containing groups and equipped with p-nitrobenzaldehyde groups, resulting in an aminated chitosan bearing p-nitrobenzaldehyde (AmCs-pNBA) was described for the first time. The most important advantage of the chitosan...
