Synthesis, characterisation and potential application of deoxycholic acid carboxymethyl chitosan as a carrier agent for rotenone

Chitosan-based delivery systems for plants: A brief overview of recent advances and future directions

“…In the case of a synchronous system for encapsulating the emulsion-based azoxystrobin fungicide and modifying the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles, loading may be increased from 3.6% to 21% while maintaining pH-responsive release, which is controlled by the carboximethychitosan gatekeeper. The reported system showed a positive effect on late tomato pest, Phytophthora infestans, when compared to the active applied alone in the same dosages [114]. Metal-organic systems can be combined with chitosan to produce fungicidal nanocapsules, such as adsorbed charged tebuconazole and assembled by electrostatic interactions with chitosan and pectin.…”

“…Chitosan coating on mesoporous silica nanoparticles may increase loading in pesticide formulations [113,114]. A study by Liang and co-authors reached a loading value for prochloraz fungicide molecules of 25.4%.…”

Synthesis of rotenone loaded zein nano-formulation for plant protection against pathogenic microbes

“…9,25,26 The peaks around 2938 cm À1 contributed to the C-H bending of aromatic alkyl which may be attributed to the characteristic peak of pure rotenone which were found around 2968 cm À1 in case of RNZSC. 27,28 Based on spectral changes in alkyl groups and increased in the intensity of characteristic bands at 2968, 1663, 1535, 1458, 1359 and 1093 cm À1 frequencies, it can be concluded that the rotenone was successfully loaded on zein nanoparticles (RNZSC). In the FTIR spectra, no new bands were found aer encapsulation of rotenone in zein nanoparticles which may be due to the physical interactions of the prepared rotenone loaded nanoparticles rather than stronger chemical bonds which were similar with the ndings reported earlier.…”

Thermal Stability, Kinetic Degradation and Lifetime Prediction of Chitosan Schiff Bases Derived from Aromatic Aldehydes

“…[9] Chitosan has both reactive amino at C-2 position and À OH groups at C-3 and C-6 position, which can be used to chemically modification its physico-chemical properties under mild reaction conditions. [11,12] Due to the presence of amino groups in its structure, several chemical modifications are possible, such as the reaction with aldehydes and ketones to synthesis Schiff bases. [13][14][15][16] Degradation kinetics of materials is essential for investigating thermal stability of compounds.…”
