Analysis of Chitosan-Chromone Derivative by UV-Vis Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-MB-0931-WXH)

Introduction

Chitosan (CS) is the second-most abundant biopolymer derived from the Ndeacetylation of chitin. The design and synthesis of chitosan-based materials has been attracted by researcher groups due to their unique biological and physicochemical properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and film-forming ability.
Chromones (4H-chromone-4-ones) are heterocyclic compounds with the benzo-γ-pyrone framework. Chromones and their structural analogs are of great interest because of their usefulness as biologically active agents. They have been shown to be tyrosine and protein kinase inhibitors, as well as anticancer, neuroprotective, anti-AIDS, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant activity, interleukin-5 inhibitory activity, and antiproliferative agents.
