Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of biomaterial synthesis, and particularly to a silanized hyaluronic acid and its synthesis method and application. Background Art

[0002] Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronic acid, is a natural high-molecular mucopolysaccharide formed by the repeated connection of N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucuronic acid disaccharide units. It belongs to natural high-molecular non-sulfated glycosaminoglycans and has excellent water solubility and biodegradability. It is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix of soft connective tissues of humans and animals and has various important physiological functions, such as maintaining the extracellular space, regulating osmotic pressure, lubrication, etc. In terms of wound healing, HA can regulate cell adhesion, migration, differentiation, and proliferation, reduce the inflammatory response, and also has the characteristics of improving cell infiltration, scavenging free radicals, and antioxidant properties. Therefore, it has very important application value in the fields of medical beauty, health care, biomedicine, etc.

[0003] Although HA has excellent properties such as high biocompatibility, biodegradability, high hydrophilicity, and viscoelasticity, due to its high hydrophilicity, it has poor lipophilicity, resulting in problems such as too short half-life, fast degradation rate in the body, and short in-situ residence time, resulting in low bioavailability. However, the HA structure contains chemical active sites such as hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups, and can be chemically modified in various ways to obtain specific functions. Reported hyaluronic acid derivatives include acetylated hyaluronic acid, quaternized hyaluronic acid, carboxymethylated hyaluronic acid, silanized hyaluronic acid, etc. Among them, silanized hyaluronic acid has better moisturizing performance, no cytotoxicity, no skin irritation, and can promote the proliferation of keratinocytes, and can be used to prepare cosmetics and pharmaceutical excipients with skin moisturizing and repair functions.

[0004] A method has been disclosed in which a hyaluronic acid solution and a sodium silanol solution are mixed and reacted, and then the pH is adjusted with a resin to obtain a hyaluronic acid composite aqueous solution. However, the final product of this method is a liquid with a relatively low concentration, which results in a large volume and difficulties in packaging, storage, and transportation. A method for preparing silanized hyaluronic acid has been disclosed, but the reaction raw material chlorosilane in this method is very sensitive to water, decomposes rapidly when encountering water, forms smoke during the dropping process, and decomposes to generate hydrochloric acid, which has strong corrosiveness. Therefore, there are strict requirements for its storage and use, and this preparation method needs to be strictly controlled to operate under anhydrous conditions, and the conditions are very harsh.

[0005] In addition, the silanized hyaluronic acid synthesized by traditional methods has the following problems: 1) When the silanized hyaluronic acid is a water-soluble macromolecule, the degree of silanization is low (i.e., the silicon content of the silanized hyaluronic acid is low), and the performance of hyaluronic acid cannot be effectively improved; 2) When the degree of silanization is relatively high, the cross-linking degree of the prepared silanized hyaluronic acid is too high and it cannot be dissolved in water, and can only be used for hydrogel products, which limits its application.

[0006] Based on the above situation, developing a green preparation process for water-soluble silanized hyaluronic acid has very important practical value and economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In the present application, among the technical features described in an open-ended manner, it includes a closed technical solution composed of the listed features, and also includes an open technical solution containing the listed features.

[0043] In this application, when it comes to numerical intervals (i.e., numerical ranges), unless otherwise specified, the distribution of the selectable numerical values within the numerical interval is considered continuous, and includes the two numerical endpoints of the numerical interval (i.e., the minimum value and the maximum value), as well as each numerical value between these two numerical endpoints. Unless otherwise specified, when the numerical interval only refers to the integers within the numerical interval, it includes the two endpoint integers of the numerical range, as well as each integer between the two endpoints, which is equivalent to directly listing each integer. When providing multiple numerical ranges to describe features or characteristics, these numerical ranges can be combined. In other words, unless otherwise specified, the numerical ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges subsumed therein. The "numerical values" in the numerical interval can be any quantitative values, such as numbers, percentages, ratios, etc. The "numerical interval" allows for a broad inclusion of numerical interval types such as percentage intervals, ratio intervals, ratio value intervals, etc.

[0044] In this application, the term "room temperature" generally refers to 4 - 35 °C, preferably 20 ± 5 °C. In the embodiments of this application, room temperature refers to 20 - 30 °C.

[0045] In this application, unless otherwise specifically limited, the temperature parameter allows for both constant temperature treatment and variation within a certain temperature interval. It should be understood that the constant temperature treatment allows the temperature to fluctuate within the accuracy range controlled by the instrument. Fluctuations within ranges such as ±5 °C, ±4 °C, ±3 °C, ±2 °C, and ±1 °C are allowed.

[0046] In this application, regarding the units of data ranges, if there is only a unit after the right endpoint, it means that the units of the left endpoint and the right endpoint are the same. For example, 2 - 5 h means that the units of the left endpoint "2" and the right endpoint "5" are both time (h).

[0047] In the first aspect of this application, a method for synthesizing silanized hyaluronic acid is provided, including the following steps:

[0048] Dissolve hyaluronic acid in a bio - based solvent to form a hyaluronic acid solution;

[0052] The synthesis method of the silanized hyaluronic acid provided by this application uses an amino-containing silane coupling agent as a modifier to achieve the simultaneous progress of amidation and silanization, improve the modification degree and efficiency, and simplify the synthesis steps; uses a bio-based solvent and an environmentally friendly catalyst to reduce the negative impact on the environment and enhance the biocompatibility and safety of the product.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the step of performing the second reaction, purification and drying steps are further included. Unreacted precursors and catalyst residues are removed through purification, and the conductivity of the product meets the standard.

[0062] There is no particular limitation on the method of purification or drying. The method of purification can include dialysis and / or resin adsorption, etc., and the method of drying can include at least one of natural drying, baking, and freeze-drying.

[0063] In the second aspect of the present application, a silylated hyaluronic acid synthesized by the aforementioned synthesis method is provided.

[0064] The silanized hyaluronic acid synthesized in the present application has a high silicon content and is a water-soluble macromolecule. In some embodiments, the silicon content of the silanized hyaluronic acid is ≥4%.

[0077] 4) After the reaction is completed, ultrafiltration with a molecular weight cut-off of 10,000 Da is used to separate and purify the product, removing unreacted AEAPTMS and IL-ZrO2 residues; the product solution is dialyzed with deionized water until the conductivity is less than 5 μS / cm; the dialyzed solution is freeze-dried at -50 °C for 24 hours to obtain the silylated hyaluronic acid product.

[0078] Example 2

[0079] A method for synthesizing silylated hyaluronic acid comprises the following steps:

[0080] 1) Take 2 g of hyaluronic acid (HA) and dissolve it in 80 ml of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim][PF6]) solvent to form an HA solution;

[0081] 2) Take 1 g of N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS) and add it to the HA solution, and stir and react at room temperature for 2.5 hours to allow the amino group of AEAPTMS to fully pre-activate with the carboxyl group of HA to form an amide bond, obtaining an intermediate reactant;

[0082] 3) Add 0.2 g of ionic liquid-supported metal oxide (IL-ZrO2) as a catalyst to the intermediate reactant; place the reaction system in a microwave reactor, set the microwave power to 350 W, the reaction temperature to 65 °C, and the reaction time to 3.5 hours to promote the hydrolysis and condensation of the silyl group in AEAPTMS and at the same time promote the cross-linking between HA chains;

[0083] 4) After the reaction is completed, ultrafiltration with a molecular weight cut-off of 12,000 Da is used to separate and purify the product, removing unreacted AEAPTMS and IL-ZrO2 residues; the product solution is dialyzed with deionized water until the conductivity is less than 4 μS / cm; the dialyzed solution is freeze-dried at -45 °C for 30 hours to obtain silylated hyaluronic acid.

[0084] Comparative Example 1

[0085] The experimental procedure is similar to that of Example 2, except that the 80 ml of ionic liquid used to dissolve HA is replaced with water.

[0086] Comparative Example 2

[0087] The experimental procedure is similar to that of Example 2, except that the 80 ml of ionic liquid ([Bmim][PF6]) used to dissolve HA is replaced with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate.

[0088] Comparative Example 3

[0089] The experimental steps were similar to those of Example 2, except that the metal oxide (IL-ZrO2) supported by the ionic liquid was replaced with SiO2 supported by N-butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (provided by Xi'an Qiyue Biotechnology Co., Ltd.).

[0090] Test Case

[0091] 1. Infrared spectrum: The silanized hyaluronic acid of Example 1 was subjected to infrared (Fourier transform infrared spectrometer FT-IR) analysis. The results are shown in Figure 1 . Figure 1 Middle 942cm -1 and 886cm -1 The peak at is the vibration peak of Si-CH3, which shows that the silanization modification is successful and the structure of the prepared silanized sodium hyaluronate is correct.

[0092] 2. Silicon content: ICP test was performed on the silanized hyaluronic acid of the embodiment and comparative example. The results are shown in Table 1-2.

[0093] Table 1 ICP test results of silanized hyaluronic acid in Example 1

[0094]

[0095] Table 2 Silicon content of silanized hyaluronic acid in Examples and Comparative Examples

[0096]

[0097] It can be seen that the silanized hyaluronic acid of Example 1-2 has a higher silicon content, while the silicon content of the silanized hyaluronic acid prepared in Comparative Example 1-3 is greatly reduced. It can be seen that in the reaction system of the present application, the type of solvent and the type of catalyst have a greater impact on the reaction.

[0098] 3. Water solubility: The silylated hyaluronic acid prepared in Examples 1-2 was dissolved in water at a ratio of 1 g:99 mL to prepare an aqueous solution of silylated hyaluronic acid.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
