Abstract: The endotoxin adsorbents were prepared by coupling divinyl amine ligands on crosslinked chitosan matrix. Their adsorption ability to endotoxin was compared. It was found that the adsorbent with polyethylene polyamine ligand had the highest adsorption capacity and its clearance percent for endotoxin in endotoxemia plasma was over 80. The results also showed that the adsorbent has good blood compatibility and clinical application foreground.

Key words: Chitosan, Endotoxin, Adsorbent, Hemoperfusion.
