In this study a lipotropic chitosan derivative, O-oleoyl-chitosan (OOCs), was obtained through the attachment of oleoyl groups to hydroxyl groups at C-6 of chitosan. The degree of substitution of OOCs was approx. 14-15%. OOCs had good solubility in organic solvents. Lipoprotein sorption tests in vitro and circular dichroism spectroscopy were applied to investigate the interaction between lipoproteins and OOCs. Observations indicated that the lipotropic OOCs, especially with lower viscosity-average molecular weight, could improve both LDL binding capacity and selectivity in human plasma. Circular dichroism analysis showed that the secondary structure of LDL was markedly changed by OOCs, for the α-helical content of the LDL was increased when interacted with OOCs. OOCs were proven to be effective for selective removal of LDL in plasma.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.
