Xyloglucan and Concanavalin A based dressings in the topical treatment of mice ...
Arruda, Isabel R. S.; Souza, Marthyna P.; Soares, Paulo A. G.; Albuquerque, Priscilla B. S.; Silva, Túlio D.; Medeiros, Paloma L.; Silva, Marcia V.For medical biomaterials, xyloglucan dispersions can form films or gels to be applied as a wound dressing. For this purpose, the structural characterization of xyloglucan dressing (XG) and xyloglucan dressing containing 0.5 mg/mL of concanavalin A (XGL) was performed. The lectin release capacity and stability, cytotoxicity, and pro-wound healing effects were also investigated. XG and XGL films were prepared by ...
Structure and rheological properties of a xyloglucan extracted from Hymenaea co...
Arruda, Isabel R. S.; Albuquerque, Priscilla B. S.; Santos, Gustavo R. C.; Silva, Alexandre G.; Mourão, Paulo A. S.; Correia, Maria T. S.Hymenaea courbaril var courbaril seed xyloglucan was efficiently extracted with 0.1 M NaCl, followed by ethanol precipitation (yield = 72 ± 5% w/w). Its amorphous structure was identified by the pattern of X-ray diffraction. The monosaccharide composition was determined by GC/MS analysis of the alditol acetates and showed the occurrence of glucose:xylose:galactose:arabinose (40:34:20:6). One-(1D) and two-dimens...
