example 1

[0158] Preparation of hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) cross-linked polymer network with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) having the following general structure 1:

[0159]

[0160] To a 100 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer was added 60 mL of (reverse osmosis) water and 3.00 g of HA (7.44 mmol based on disaccharide units) and 3.00 g of CS (6.01 mmol based on disaccharide units). The solution was then stirred for 15 hours to ensure complete dissolution of the material to provide a clear solution with a pH of 6.65. To this solution was added 1.2 mL of BDDE (6.25 mmol). After stirring for 15 minutes, the pH of the slightly cloudy solution was adjusted to 8.5 with 0.2 g of 10% by weight sodium hydroxide solution. After 24 hours, the reaction mixture was then poured into 900 mL of ethanol to produce a precipitate and filtered. The solid was washed with 3 x 100 mL of ethanol and dried under high vacuum for 24 hours to yield 4.6 g (77...

example 2

[0166] Preparation of crosslinked polymer networks of HA and CS with adipate dihydrazide (ADH) with the following structure 2:

[0167]

[0168] Into a 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a stir bar was added 31.9 mL of (reverse osmosis) water and 1.50 g of HA (3.72 mmol, based on disaccharide units). In a separate Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a stir bar was added 31.9 mL of (reverse osmosis) water and 1.86 g of CS (3.72 mmol, based on disaccharide units). Both solutions were stirred for 15 hours to ensure complete dissolution of the material. To each solution was added 0.075 g (0.389 mmol) of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride in 0.5 mL of (reverse osmosis) water. Each container was rinsed with 0.5 ml (reverse osmosis) water. The solution was allowed to stir for 5 minutes and then added to a 100 mL round bottom flask equipped with a stir bar. Each flask was rinsed with 2 mL (reverse osmosis) water. To this solution was added 0.062 g (0.353 ...

example 3

[0175] Preparation of linear HA mixed with a cross-linked polymer network of HA and CS.

[0176] The cross-linked polymer network of the HA-CS of Example 1 or 2 is further mixed with linear HA polymer chains having the desired weight average molecular weight, i.e., about 10,000 Da to about 3,000,000 Da, to produce a soft gel (with mixed Cross-linked HA-CS of HA chains) and then disintegrated using a high shear mixer, precipitated and dried. Alternatively, the cross-linked polymer network of the HA-CS of Example 1 or 2 was mixed with linear HA having the desired weight average molecular weight in a weight ratio of 1:1 to 1:20 (HA-CS:HA) in together, and then dissolved in water to produce a gel for further use in various applications.

Abstract

A crosslinked polymeric network is disclosed. The crosslinked polymeric network comprises a reaction product of a first glycosaminoglycan, a second glycosaminoglycan, and a crosslinking agent, wherein the first glycosaminoglycan is different than the second glycosaminoglycan.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention generally relates to a crosslinked polymer network and its use. [0002] It is highly desirable that contact lenses be as comfortable as possible for the wearer. Manufacturers of contact lenses are constantly striving to improve the comfort of the lenses. However, many people who wear contact lenses still experience dryness or eye irritation throughout the day, and especially towards the end of the day. At any point in time, an insufficiently wetted lens will cause significant discomfort to the lens wearer. While moistening drops can be used as needed to alleviate this discomfort, it is certainly to be desired if it does not occur in the first place. [0003] Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a group of polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units. Due to their high polarity and affinity for water, they can be found in many systems of the human body. For example, GAGs occur on the surface of cells and in the extrac...
