Many polymer compounds carrying ionogenic functional groups in monomer units are used in various fields of practical activity. Due to their ability to ionize in solutions, such polymers exhibit pronounced polyelectrolyte properties, which determines their high reactivity and unique properties. This allows them to be used in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. Among ionogenic polymers, specific properties are exhibited by polymer compounds that carry a positive charge. For obtaining polycations, polysaccharides are a promising raw material.
In particular, cationic modifications allow polysaccharides to improve their interaction with biological structures and increase their solubility in water. Such modifications also make it possible to regulate the physico-chemical and biological properties of the resulting polymer systems. Based on this, the presented research synthesized pectin derivatives with polyсationic properties. The structure and composition of the obtained compounds were studied by FTIR spectroscopy, titration, chromatography, elemental and X-ray structural analysis.
