Abstract
Chitosan oligosaccharide having physiological activity, such as cell proliferation and wound healing, was prepared by NaNO$_2$ oxidation-NaBH$_4$ reduction from natural chitosan. After deamination by NaNO$_2$ oxidation, the reducing-end residue from NaBH$_4$ was converted to alditol unit, and the reduction was checked by MBTH reagent. The resulting chitosan oligosaccharide had a degree of polymeration of 2-6 from HPLC analysis. From moisture absorption test at relative humidity of 43% and 81%, the moisture absorption ability was 63% and 57%. Moisture retention ability at relative humidity of 43%, silica gel emvironment, was 98% and 97% respectively. Cell proliferation was showed In the range of 0.000032~0.01%, wound healing effect was also appeared in the concentration of 2% and 20%. Antioxidative effect ($SC_{50}$/) was 3213 ppm. Chitosan oligosaccharide was compatible with most of ingredients used in cosmetic products.
천연고분자인 키틴으로부터 저분자 키토산을 얻은 후 이를 아질산을 이용한 분해반응에 의해 세포증식효과 및 상처치유효과 등의 생리적인 효과가 있는 키토산 올리고당을 합성하였다 이를 위해 아질산을 이용하여 deamination한 후, sodium borohydride로 환원시켜 reducing-end residue들을 alditol unit로 치환하였으며 MBTH시약을 사용하여 반응이 진행하였음을 확인하였다. 얻어진 키토산 올리고 당의 분자량 분포를 HPLC로 확인한 결과 중합도가 2∼6 인 올리고당이 얻어졌음 을 알 수 있었다. 상대습도 43%와 81%에서 측정한 흡습력 실험결과, 글리세린 에 대해 각각 63%, 57%의 흡습력을 보였으며, 상대습도 43%와 실리카겔 분위기 하의 보습력 측정결과, 각각 98%, 91%의 수분잔존률을 나타내었다 키토산 올리고당은 0,000032∼0.01% 농도 범위에서 세포증식효과를 보였으며, 2%와 20%로 처리한 경우 상처치유효과를 나타내었다.
