Abstract

In this study, we developed self-crosslinkable and self-healing hydrogels by conjugating biocompatible and biodegradable glycol chitosan (GC) with biofunctional gallic acid (GA) and evaluated their potential application as a new tissue adhesive biomaterial. A series of GA-GC derivatives with different GA content were synthesized by varying the feed molar ratio of GA and their hydrogels were prepared via self-crosslinking reaction between pyrogallol groups of GA. The self-healing ability of GA-GC hydrogels was confirmed by rheological analysis, and their mechanical strength and tissue adhesion strength were observed to increase as the GA content of the hydrogels increased. The GA-GC hydrogels with biodegradability and low cytotoxicity would be useful as new tissue adhesive biomaterials


본 연구에서는 생체적합성이 우수한 글리콜 키토산에 생기능성 분자인 갈릭산(GA)을 화학적으로 결합하고, 자가-가교(self-crosslinking) 및 자가-치유(self-healing)가 가능한 갈릭산 함유 글리콜 키토산(GA-GC) 하이드로젤을 제조하였으며, 조직접착성 소재로의 응용 가능성을 평가하였다. GA의 반응 몰비를 조절하여 GA 함량이 서로 다른 일련의 GA-GC 유도체들을 합성하고, GA의 파이로갈롤기에 의한 자가-가교 반응을 통해 하이드로젤을 제조하였다. GA-GC 하이드로젤의 자가-치유 능력을 점탄성 분석을 통해 확인하였고, 하이드로젤의 GA 함량이 증가됨에 따라 압축강도와 조직 접착강도가 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 생분해성과 낮은 세포독성을 보임으로써 GA-GC 하이드로젤은 조직접착성 생체재료로 유용하게 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다
