Improved antioxidant and anti-tubercular potential of liquiritigenin grafted on low molecular weight chitosan from gladius of Sepioteuthis lessoniana

In conclusion the in vitro antioxidant and the anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) properties of the grafted samples were significantly (P < 0.001) increased compared to the unconjugated LMW-CH and LTG. Overall, functionalization of LTG with LMW-CH improved the anti-tuberculosis activity. Further studies are needed to explore the possibilities of its use in vivo models.PMID:38649074 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131728
