Synthesis and characterization of N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-acetamidyl gellan gum with potential biomedical applications

- N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-acetamidyl gellan, prepared via a 3-step chemical modification of gellan.
- Rheological tests were performed with carboxymethyl-gellan derivatives.
- Aminated carboxymethyl-gellan showed lack of toxicity on rat brain endothelial cells.
