Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of chemical synthesis and biomedical technology, and particularly relates to a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, wound healing has become a complex biological process by which the body responds to tissue injury, involving the coordinated actions of multiple stages, including inflammation regulation, cell migration, angiogenesis, and matrix remodeling. However, chronic wounds (such as diabetic ulcers and pressure sores) and infected wounds often experience delayed healing and even systemic complications due to microenvironmental imbalances (such as persistent inflammation, hypoxia, and bacterial colonization). While traditional dressings (such as gauze and hydrocolloids) provide physical protection, they struggle to dynamically respond to wound changes or actively regulate the repair process. There is an urgent need to develop novel materials that combine bioactivity with intelligent adaptability. Hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan composed of disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, is widely present in various tissues of the human body. Influenced by various factors and hormones, it can lead to a wide range of diseases in the human body. As a core component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), hyaluronic acid has become a star molecule in the field of wound repair due to its excellent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, biocompatibility, and specific binding to the CD44 receptor on the cell surface. Furthermore, the porphyrin metal ring formed by the addition of transition metals not only enhances photothermal performance but also utilizes the transition metal's valence-shifting mechanism to further deplete hydrogen peroxide and reactive oxygen species. Hydrogels, a type of gel with a network-like cross-linked structure, exhibit excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them commonly used in the treatment of various diseases. Therefore, this study designed a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel material for the treatment of bacterially infected wounds.
[0003] At the same time, photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are emerging external stimulation methods with broad application prospects in the field of wound healing. Compared with traditional methods, these methods can effectively remove harmful reactive species (ROS) through light initiation and chemical reactions, thereby achieving antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects at the wound site. Previous studies have confirmed that carbonyl manganese (Mn2[CO] 10) can react with hydrogen peroxide to generate manganese ions and carbon monoxide (CO), and the concentration of CO acts as a gaseous signal messenger to regulate various physiological and pathological processes of the body, such as the anti-inflammatory response mediated by the HO-1 pathway, thereby having a therapeutic effect on a variety of diseases. In 2020, Professor Zhao Chunshun's team at Sun Yat-sen University developed an injectable and near-infrared (NIR) light-triggered ROS-degradable hyaluronic acid hydrogel platform as a local delivery vehicle for the photosensitizer prophorphyrin IX (PpIX) and the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) to achieve excellent chemotherapy-photodynamic combination therapy and light-adjustable on-demand drug release. Therefore, hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels are expected to become the next generation of "all-in-one" wound dressings, pushing regenerative medicine towards precision treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof. The hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel of the present invention first introduces a porphyrin derivative into Fe metal, then connects amino-modified hyaluronic acid to the porphyrin derivative, and finally forms a dynamic Schiff base bond cross-link with genipin, so that the hydrogel can simultaneously achieve the synergistic treatment effects of photothermal therapy, photodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy, thereby achieving the effects of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory and promoting wound healing.

First, hyaluronic acid can use its anti-inflammatory properties to activate M1 macrophages to transform into an anti-inflammatory phenotype (M2 type) through a CD44 receptor-mediated signaling pathway, inhibit chronic inflammation, and thus achieve anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. In addition, a porphyrin-based photosensitizer is grafted thereon to enable it to have excellent reactive oxygen species production capacity under 635nm laser irradiation, so that the material has the dual therapeutic effects of dual-mode PTT / PDT, and due to the presence of variable valence metal Fe ions, it can react with H2O2 and produce reactive oxygen species by chemical kinetics, thereby effectively improving its antioxidant capacity. At the same time, a CO release precursor is also introduced to achieve multimodal combined antibacterial and promote wound healing. The hydrogel not only has good antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities in vitro, but also achieves the treatment and wound healing effects of bacterial infection on the skin surface of rats.

Without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, any modification or alteration of the present invention that can be easily implemented by a person skilled in the art will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
[0054] Example 1 Preparation of HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe)
[0055] Step 1: To a 100 mL single-necked flask, add the tetracarboxyphenylporphyrin ligand TCPP (0.1 mmol, 0.079 g) and ferric chloride hexahydrate (0.1 mmol, 0.27 g). Reflux the mixture for 6 h using 20 mL of DMF as the solvent. After the reaction is complete and cooled to room temperature, 30 mL of deionized water is added, causing a purple precipitate to form in the reaction solution. The solution is then filtered using a suction filtration device and washed with deionized water until the filtrate is colorless. The resulting solid product is then dried and dissolved in NaOH solution to yield a dark green solution. Concentrated HCl is slowly added dropwise to the solution until no further precipitation occurs. The resulting suspension is then filtered again and washed with deionized water until the filtrate is colorless and the pH is neutral. The solid product is then dried to yield a purple solid powder, TCPP-Fe.
[0056] Step 2: Add 1 g of HA to a 500 mL beaker, use 100 mL of deionized water as the solvent for the reaction, stir to dissolve, then add 3 g of ADH, add 0.1 mol / L NaOH solution to adjust the pH to 4.75, then add 1 g of EDC, maintain the pH at 4.75 with the above concentration of NaOH solution, stir overnight, then dialyze for 2 days and freeze-dry to obtain a white flocculent solid, which is HA-ADH.
[0057] Step 3: Add 600 mg of HA-ADH to a 250 mL conical flask, use deionized water as the reaction solvent, stir to dissolve, then add 30 mg of TCPP-Fe to a 50 mL conical flask, use DMSO as the reaction solvent, stir to dissolve, then add 60 mg of EDC and 45 mg of NHS, stir in the dark for 2 hours, then slowly add the solution dropwise to the HA-ADH aqueous solution, stir in the dark for 48 hours, then dialyze for 2 days, and lyophilize to obtain a green flocculent solid which is HA-ADH-TCPP (Fe).
[0058] Example 2 Preparation of HAT-Fe / GPCO Hydrogel
[0059] 30 mg of HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe) prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in deionized water, and 1 mg of genipin GP and 1 mg of Mn2[CO] were added. 10 , heating at 60℃ for 60min, the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel was obtained.
[0060] Comparative Example 1
[0061] The preparation process and conditions are the same as those in Example 1, except that TCPP-Fe in step 3 is replaced with TCPP to obtain HA-ADH-TCPP; the hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel precursor HA-ADH-TCPP and amino-modified hyaluronic acid HA-ADH prepared in Comparative Example 1 have the following hydrogen nuclear magnetic spectra: Figure 18 shown.
[0062] The performance of the hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels prepared in Comparative Example 1, Example 1, and Example 2 was characterized as follows:
[0063] 1. Photophysical properties of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel precursors
[0064] The photophysical properties of HA-ADH-TCPP and HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe) in the present invention were measured in aqueous solution. Figure 2 is the ultraviolet absorption of HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe) in aqueous solution ( Figure 2 A) and fluorescence emission ( Figure 2 B) As can be seen from the figure, HA-ADH-TCPP and HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe) exhibit bright red emission in aqueous solution, with an emission peak at 660nm. The absorption is due to the incorporation of Fe metal into the porphyrin core, which eliminates the two original Q bands of the porphyrin. The emission spectrum undergoes fluorescence quenching due to the introduction of the metal heteronuclear element.
[0065] 2. Singlet oxygen generation ability of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel precursors
[0066] Figure 3 HA-ADH-TCPP prepared by the present invention ( Figure 3 B), HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe)( Figure 3 A), In vitro singlet oxygen production experiment under light and DPBF conditions and the related kinetic curves ( Figure 3 C), from Figure 3 It can be seen that HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe) has excellent singlet oxygen generation ability.
[0067] 3. Hydroxyl radical generating ability of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel precursor:
[0068] Figure 4 The HA-ADH-TCPP (Fe) prepared by the present invention was subjected to an in vitro hydroxyl radical generation experiment in the presence of H2O2 with the addition of methylene blue (MB) and carbonyl manganese. Figure 4 A is a comparison chart of hydroxyl radicals produced by different samples to degrade methylene blue. Figure 4 B is the degradation diagram of methylene blue solution after adding carbonyl manganese to HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe). Figure 4 It can be seen that HA-ADH-TCPP(Fe) has excellent hydroxyl radical generation ability.
[0069] 4. Photothermal properties of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels
[0070] Figure 5 The photothermal properties of HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel were measured, and the results showed that HAT-Fe / GPCO had better photothermal generation ability than the control group HA-ADH, HA-ADH-TCPP, and drug group ( Figure 5 A), and the higher the power, the higher the heat generation and temperature rise ( Figure 5 B), and after five cycles of heating and cooling, it can be seen that the drug has good photothermal cycling ability ( Figure 5 C).
[0071] Figure 6 This is the thermal imaging image of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel corresponding to the photothermal data. Under light conditions, the solution temperature increases with the extension of the illumination time.
[0072] 5. Antioxidant performance experiment of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel:
[0073] Figure 7 The test kit was used to test the antioxidant capacity of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel of the present invention. When the drug concentration reached 5 mg / mL, the consumption rate of DPPH could reach 81.5% ( Figure 7 A). The consumption rate of hydrogen peroxide was detected to be nearly 85.2% ( Figure 7 B) The content of reactive oxygen species, especially hydrogen peroxide, at the site of infected wounds far exceeds that of normal tissue. The consumption of hydrogen peroxide will effectively accelerate wound healing. This also proves that HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, and can have a good therapeutic effect on inflammation in the body.

In the presence of H2O2, Figure 8 A hemoglobin assay was used to detect the decrease in absorbance at 430 nm and the increase in absorbance at 410 nm, thereby detecting that the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel can effectively release CO. Figure 8 B is the concentration of released CO actually calculated by the formula.
[0076] 7. Hemolysis experiment of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel:
[0077] Figure 9 For the hemolysis test of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel of the present invention, HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogels of different concentrations were co-incubated with red blood cells in a 37°C oven for 2 hours. The PBS group served as the negative control group, and the water group served as the positive control group. Panel a) shows a visual image of the corresponding concentration of HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel, and panel b) shows a visual image of the corresponding concentration of HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogels co-incubated with red blood cells in hot water at 37°C for 2 hours followed by centrifugation. The measured hemolysis rate of the drug at 5 mg / mL was still less than 5%, indicating good biosafety.
[0078] 8. Antibacterial experiment of HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel:
[0079] Figure 10 The antibacterial properties of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel of the present invention were measured.

[0080] 9. Cell therapy experiments of HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel:
[0081] Figure 11Figure 2 shows the cell viability of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel after 24 hours of incubation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel was used to investigate the potential cytotoxicity of the HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel on HUVEC cells. The MTT assay for drug cytotoxicity was performed as follows: HUVEC cells were seeded at a density of 10,000 cells per well in a 96-well plate. The cells were incubated in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. After aspirating the old culture medium, drug intervention was added by adding 100 μL of DMEM medium containing a gradient of drug concentrations (0-6 mg / mL) to each well. Four hours later, the original culture medium was replaced with 100 μL of fresh DMEM medium. The cells were placed in an incubator for 24 hours. MTT (20 μL) at a concentration of 5 mg / mL was added to each well. The cells were placed in an incubator for 4 hours. After 4 hours, DMSO (150 μL) was added to each well to replace the original culture medium. The absorbance of the sample at 570 nm was detected by a microplate reader. Figure 11 It can be seen that even when the drug HAT-Fe / GPCO concentration reaches a higher concentration of 6 mM, the survival rate of cells incubated with HAT-Fe / GPCO hydrogel reaches 96%, indicating that it has low cytotoxicity.
