Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of hydrogels containing cross- linked polysaccharides and the use of such hydrogels in medical and/or cosmetic applications. More specifically, the present invention deals with cross-linked hyaluronic acid hydrogels modified with hydrophobic or hydrophilic side-chains.
- hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide belonging to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
- GAGs glycosaminoglycans
- Hyaluronic acid and the other GAGs are negatively charged heteropolysaccharide chains which have a capacity to absorb large amounts of water.
- Hyaluronic acid and products derived from hyaluronic acid are widely used in the biomedical and cosmetic fields, for instance during viscosurgery and as a dermal filler.
- Water-absorbing gels are widely used in the biomedical field. They are generally prepared by chemical cross-linking of polymers to infinite networks. While native hyaluronic acid and certain cross-linked hyaluronic acid products absorb water until they are completely dissolved, cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels typically absorb a certain amount of water until they are saturated, i.e. they have a finite liquid retention capacity, or swelling degree.
- hyaluronic acid Since hyaluronic acid is present with identical chemical structure except for its molecular mass in most living organisms, it gives a minimum of reactions and allows for advanced medical uses. Cross-linking and/or other modifications of the hyaluronic acid molecule is necessary to improve its duration in vivo. Furthermore, such modifications affect the liquid retention capacity of the hyaluronic acid molecule. As a consequence thereof, hyaluronic acid has been the subject of many modification attempts.
- WO 01/85801 discloses a process for crosslinking polymers containing primary and secondary amine groups with activated dicarboxylic acids. An example is discussed in which hyaluronic acid is crosslinked with aspartic acid.
- the hyaluronic acid to be crosslinked is prepared in harsh conditions leading to degradation of the hyaluronic acid, and the crosslinked hyaluronic acid fragments do not form a hydrogel but instead a solution that is filtered and then "quenched" by sulphation of the residual amino groups.
- the present invention provides according to a first aspect thereof, a method of preparing a hydrogel product comprising crosslinked glycosaminoglycan molecules, said method comprising: i) providing a crosslinked glycosaminoglycan, wherein said
- glycosaminoglycan is at least partially N-deacetylated such that the
- crosslinked glycosaminoglycan comprises free amine groups; and ii) covalently grafting a reactive side-chain to the free amine groups of the crosslinked glycosaminoglycan, wherein the reactive side-chain comprises a functional group capable of forming a covalent bond to the free amine groups, and a side-chain moiety selected from the group consisting of a hydrophobic moiety, a charged moiety, and a peptide moiety.
- cross-linking refers to a reaction involving sites or groups on existing macronnolecules or an interaction between existing macronnolecules that results in the formation of a small region in a macronnolecule from which at least four chains emanate.
- a reaction of a reactive chain end of a linear macronnolecule with an internal reactive site of another linear macronnolecule results in the formation of a branch point or graft, but is not regarded as a cross-linking reaction.
- grafting refers to a reaction in which one or more species are connected to the main chain of a macronnolecule as side- chains having constitutional or configurational features that differ from those in the main chain.
- composition formed using the inventive method is a hydrogel. That is, it can be regarded as a water-insoluble, but substantially dilute crosslinked system of glycosaminoglycan molecules when subjected to a liquid, typically an aqueous liquid.
- the hydrogel composition contains mostly liquid by weight and can e.g. contain 90-99.9% water, but it behaves like a solid due to a three-dimensional crosslinked hyaluronic acid network within the liquid. Due to its significant liquid content, the gel is structurally flexible and similar to natural tissue, which makes it very useful as a scaffold in tissue engineering and for tissue augmentation.
- the hydrogel composition is preferably biocompatible. This implies that no, or only very mild, immune response occurs in the treated individual. That is, no or only very mild undesirable local or systemic effects occur in the treated individual.
- hyaluronic acid and crosslinked hyaluronic acid products generally are inert materials when injected
- modifying said hyaluronic acid or crosslinked hyaluronic acid with a different moieity can result in a different effect in vivo and properties of the gel.
- This invention describes a way to modify glycosaminoglycan molecules by "capping" residual amines, formed by deacetylation of the glycosaminoglycan molecules. The capping can be performed using different functional side-chain and chemistries, resulting in different gel properties as well as potential in vivo effects.
- the general concept for hyaluronic acid is illustrated in Scheme 1 .
- the present invention provides a method of preparing hydrogel products with grafted side-chains in an efficient and controlled manner.
- the method may for example be used to provide hydrogel products with tailored swelling characteristics, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and/or solubility.
- Applications for hydrogels with tailored properties may for example be for use as injectable fillers for tissue aumentation or for drug delivery.
- the capping process can be performed in aqueous or non-aqueous conditions and applied to crosslinked glycosaminoglycan hydrogels as well as polysaccharides.
- the capping process can be performed using different types of chemistries resulting in different functional groups, typical amides, ureas, thioureas, carbamates etc.
- Scheme 2 illustrates the concept of capping by formation of more lipophilic amides from a amide crosslinked linker-free gel with residual amines.
- Glycosaminoglycans in their native form are N-acetylated.
- the present invention is based on the realization that free amine groups formed by deacetylation of glycosaminoglycans can advantageously be used as graft points for attachment of functional side-chains to the glycosaminoglycan backbone.
- the present invention has been made possible through the recent inventive realization that hydroxylamine (NH2OH) and salts thereof can advantageously be used for deacetylation of glycosaminoglycans, e.g.
- hyaluronic acid comprising N-acetyl groups under mild reaction conditions.
- Using hydroxylamine or a salt thereof for deacetylation has been found to allow for N-deacetylation under mild conditions resulting in only minor degradation of the polymeric backbone of sensitive polysaccharides such as HA.
- Using hydroxylamine or a salt thereof for deacetylation thus allows for production of deacetylated HA with retained high molecular weight. This is in contrast to previously known methods, such as deacetylation using hydrazine or NaOH as the deacetylating agent, where high degrees of deacetylation have been inevitably accompanied by severe degradation of the polymeric backbone.
- glycosaminoglycans and glycosaminoglycan hydrogels are glycosaminoglycans and glycosaminoglycan hydrogels. This means that amine functionalized hydrogels can be achieved under controlled conditions, with minimal degradation of the glycosaminoglycan network. Functional side- chains can then be grafted to the free amine groups using mild and efficient coupling techniques.
- At least partial deacetylation as used herein as used herein with reference to the glycosaminoglycan, we mean that at least some of the N-acetyl groups of a glycosaminoglycan comprising N-acetyl groups are cleaved off, resulting in the formation of free amine groups in the glycosaminoglycan.

- glycosaminoglycan are converted to free amine groups. More preferably, at least 3 % of the N-acetyl groups of the glycosaminoglycan are converted to free amine groups.
- glycosaminoglycan By the term “at least partially deacetylated” as used herein with reference to the glycosaminoglycan, we mean a glycosaminoglycan comprising N-acetyl groups in which at least some of the N-acetyl groups have been cleaved off, resulting in the formation of free amine groups in the glycosaminoglycan.
- at least partially deacetylated we mean that a significant portion of the N-acetyl groups of the
