Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an adhesive and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of calcium phosphate-based bone adhesives. Background Technology
[0002] Calcium phosphate bone adhesives exhibit good biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and bone adhesion. Calcium phosphate bone adhesives made from tetracalcium phosphate and phosphoserine have a shear strength approaching 2.00 MPa (Liu CY, et al. Adv. Healthcare Mater, (2024) 13:2401687). However, the adhesive strength of calcium phosphate bone adhesives remains low, and they lack free radical scavenging ability. To improve the shear strength of calcium phosphate bone adhesives, polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) fibers were added, resulting in a shear strength of 3.5 MPa for the calcium phosphate / PLGA composite bone adhesive (Alina, K, et al. Adv. Healthcare Mater, (2018) 7:1800467). The addition of polyacrylic acid (PAA) resulted in a shear strength of 2.7 MPa for the calcium phosphate / polyacrylic acid composite bone adhesive (Zheng PP, et al. Journal of Materials Chemistry B, (2024) 12:8321). While PLGA fibers and PAA improved the shear strength of calcium phosphate-based bone adhesives (75% and 35%, respectively), they did not impart free radical scavenging ability. Therefore, the shear strength of calcium phosphate-based bone adhesives remained below 3.5 MPa and lacked free radical scavenging capacity. To improve the shear strength and impart free radical scavenging ability to calcium phosphate-based bone adhesives, this invention proposes for the first time the introduction of catecholaryngol compounds with free radical scavenging ability into calcium phosphate bone adhesives, preparing catecholaryngol compound / calcium phosphate bone adhesives with high shear strength and free radical scavenging ability. The catecholaryngol compounds not only improved the shear properties of the calcium phosphate bone adhesive but also endowed it with free radical scavenging ability.
[0003] Patent publication number 118453942A, filed on May 11, 2024, discloses a bone adhesive for promoting fracture healing, its preparation method, and its application. The raw materials for its preparation include: component A and a liquid phase composition; the liquid phase composition comprises a polymer and a liquid phase component; component A comprises calcium phosphate compounds, phosphoserine compounds, phenolic compounds, and magnesium ion compounds. The bone adhesive for promoting fracture healing provided by this invention exhibits strong adhesion to both hard bone and soft tissue. However, this bone adhesive suffers from low shear strength (3.5 MPa) and a lack of organic free radical scavenging ability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems of low shear strength (3.5 MPa) and lack of free radical scavenging ability in existing calcium phosphate-based bone adhesives, this invention proposes a catechol compound / calcium phosphate bone adhesive and its preparation method.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is as follows: The catechin compound / calcium phosphate bone binder of the present invention includes calcium phosphate, protein phosphorylation products and catechin compounds with free radical scavenging ability, wherein the content of catechin compounds with free radical scavenging ability is 0.2~9.8wt%.
[0006] Furthermore, the calcium phosphate is one or more of α-tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, tetracalcium phosphate, and calcium hydrogen phosphate.
[0007] Furthermore, the protein phosphorylation product is one or more of phosphothreonine, phosphoserine, and phosphotyrosine.
[0008] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a catechol compound / calcium phosphate bone binder, wherein the catechol compound / calcium phosphate bone binder is prepared by a curing reaction of calcium phosphate, protein phosphorylation products and catechol compounds with free radical scavenging ability.
[0009] Furthermore, catechol compounds with free radical scavenging capabilities are used as curing agents to produce a curing reaction dependent on the phosphate solubility product constant with calcium phosphate and protein phosphorylation products.
[0010] Furthermore, the curing liquid is one or more of the following: caffeic acid aqueous solution, delphinidin aqueous solution, ferulic acid aqueous solution, levodopa aqueous solution, resveratrol aqueous solution, catechol aqueous solution, and gallic acid aqueous solution.
[0011] Furthermore, the curing liquid is subjected to a curing reaction with calcium phosphate and protein phosphorylation products at a solid-liquid ratio of 0.05~1.05 mL / g.
[0012] Furthermore, the curing solution is an aqueous solution of catechol compounds.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. Compared with the shear strength of calcium phosphate bone adhesive, the shear strength of the catechol compound / calcium phosphate bone adhesive prepared in this invention, which has high shear strength and free radical scavenging ability, reaches 8.3 MPa. By adjusting the ratio of catechol compound (with free radical scavenging ability) to calcium phosphate and protein phosphorylation products, a catechol compound / calcium phosphate composite bone adhesive with both high shear strength and free radical scavenging ability is prepared by using a curing reaction. 2. Compared with the shear strength (2 MPa) of calcium phosphate bone adhesive prepared by existing technology, the shear strength of the catechol compound / calcium phosphate bone adhesive prepared by the present invention with high shear strength and free radical scavenging ability is increased by 3.15 times; 3. Compared with the shear strength of calcium phosphate / polyacrylic acid composite bone adhesive (2.7 MPa) and calcium phosphate / polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer composite bone adhesive (3.5 MPa) prepared by existing technologies, the shear strength of the catechol compound / calcium phosphate bone adhesive prepared in this invention is increased by 1.97 times and 1.29 times, respectively. 4. The catechol compounds with free radical scavenging ability in this invention enable the catechol compounds / calcium phosphate bone binder to scavenge free radicals, wherein the catechol / calcium phosphate bone binder has a DPPH scavenging rate of 95%.
