Popis: Chitooligosaccharides (COS) have a great potential to be used by pharmaceutical industry due to their many biological activities. The use of enzymes to produce them is very advantageous, however it still faces many challenges, such as discovering new strains capable to produce enzymes that are able to generate bioactive oligosaccharides. In the present study a purification protein protocol was performed to purify chitosanases produced by Bacillus toyonensis CCT 7899 for further chitosan hydrolysis. The produced chitooligosaccharides were characterized by mass spectroscopy (MS) and their antiedematogenic effect was investigated through carrageenan-induced paw edema model. The animals were treated previously to inflammation by intragastric route with COS at 30, 300 and 600mg/kg. The purification protocol showed a good performance for the chitosanases purification using 0.20M NaCl solution to elute it, with a 9.54-fold purification factor. The treatment with COS promoted a decrease of paw edema at all evaluated times and the AUC04h, proving that COS produced showed activity in acute inflammation like commercial anti-inflammatory Dexamethasone (corticosteroid). Therefore, the strategy used to purification was successfully applied and it was possible to generate bioactive oligosaccharides with potential pharmacological use.
