Custom Q&A

What is the PubChem CID of chitosan?

The PubChem CID of chitosan is 71853.

What is the molecular formula of chitosan?

The molecular formula of chitosan is C56H103N9O39.

What is the molecular weight of chitosan?

The molecular weight of chitosan is 1526.5 g/mol.

What is the structure of chitosan?

The structure of chitosan is a linear polysaccharide consisting of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

Where is naturally-occurring chitosan found?

Naturally-occurring chitosan is found in the cell walls of fungi, soil, and sediments.

How is commercial chitosan derived?

Commercial chitosan is derived from the deacetylation of chitin contained in the shells of various sea crustaceans such as shrimps.

What are the reported effects of chitosan?

Chitosan is reported to have effects on protein aggregation, emulsification capacity, film-forming ability, clarifying ability, and fatty acid absorption capability.

What additional activities does chitosan exhibit?

Chitosan also exhibits antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Where else can chitosan be found in nature?

Chitosan is found in Didymella pinodes, a natural product.

How does chitosan potentially reduce the development and progression of certain cancers?

Chitosan may reduce advanced glycation end product (AGE) levels, which can limit the interaction between AGEs and the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). This interaction is associated with poor patient outcomes in some tumor types.
