N-[(2-Hydroxy-3-Trimethylammonium) Propyl] Chitosan Chloride Derivatives (HTCC), based on low molecular weight crab chitosan, were synthesized by the alkylation reaction with a degree of substitution of 10–98%. The chemical structure was confirmed by 1H NMR and IR-spectra. Physical and chemical characteristics and a number of properties were defined. All HTCC derivatives were soluble at pH 7.4. HTCCs have an inhibitory capacity on the growth of the studied microorganisms. The introduction of quaternary ammonium groups into chitosan molecule contributed to the increase of antibacterial activity of derivatives. HTCC53 showed antifungal activity and at a concentration of 500 mg/ml completely inhibited the growth of mycelial fungi F. oxysporum, A. alternata and C. herbarum. When studying the ability of HTCCs to absorb DPPH radicals, it was found that samples of HTCC10 and HTCC40 showed high inhibitory capacity at a concentration of >15 mg/ml. It was shown that the chelating ability of HTCCs decreased by reducing the number of free amino groups. HTCC10-HTCC53 demonstrated the maximum values of chelating ability at a concentration of 4–10 mg/ml. Due to the solubility at neutral pH values and the properties shown, obtained chitosan derivatives can be used in clinical practice, pharmaceutical and food industries in the future.
