Abstract

Background: There is a growing interest in developing the antibacterial properties of hydrophilic polymers. Methods: In this research, new grafting cellulose based on amino-carboxylic acids are obtained and their biological activities are evaluated. The sequences are started by treating cellulose with tosylate chloride to get 2, which further reacts with sodium azide. Results: To produce compound 3. Azide reduction to amino analog by sodium sulfide produces compound 4. The alkylation with chloroacetic acid compound 5 is obtained with amino-acid residue 5. Conclusions: Finally, extensive antibacterial studies have been performed against two types, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The results demonstrated that the novel derivatives may influence bacteria at low concentrations, and their water solubility could lead to them being biocompatible agents.
