Abstract :
In this work, we report the synthesis, antifungal and antioxidant activity of a novel chitosan (CS) derivative, PTACS, derived from chloracetyl chitosan (CACS), 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and thiosemicarbazide. The result indicated that both the antifungal activity and the antioxidant property of PTACS are better than CS.
