Various low molecular weight chitosans were prepared by oxidative degradation with H 2O 2, and characterized by IR, 13C-NMR and gel permeation chromatography. Their carboxylic contents increased with decrease in molecular weight (M w). The antitumor test of the samples against sarcoma 180 tumors suggested that the water-soluble chitosan with higher M w have higher inhibitory ratio in vivo. The introduction of carboxylic group is advantage to water-solubility of chitosan, but more acidic groups might decrease the function of amino groups of chitosan against sarcoma 180 tumor.
