Abstract

A novel protocol to control the molecular degradation of hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels was successfully developed for tissue augmentation applications. HA has a different conformational structure in water and organic solvent, and the carboxyl group of HA is known to be the recognition site of hyaluronidase and HA receptors. Based on these findings, HA was chemically modified by grafting adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) to the carboxyl group of HA in the water to prepare HA‐ADH~WATER~ and in the mixed solvent of water and ethanol to prepare degradation‐controlled HA‐ADH~WATER/ETHANOL~. Three kinds of HA hydrogels were prepared by the crosslinking of HA‐ADH~WATER~ or HA‐ADH~WATER/ETHANOL~ with bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate, and by the crosslinking of HA‐OH with divinyl sulfone (DVS). In vitro and in vivo degradation tests showed that HA‐DVS hydrogels were degraded most rapidly, followed by HA‐ADH~WATER~ hydrogels and HA‐ADH~WATER/ETHANOL~ hydrogels. There was no adverse effect during and after in vivo degradation tests. All of the HA hydrogel samples appeared to be biocompatible, according to the histological analysis with hematoxylin–eosin and Alcian blue. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2008

## Abstract Hyaluronic acid is a natural glycosaminoglycan involved in biological processes. Low‐molecular‐weight hyaluronic acid (10 and 50 kDa)‐based hydrogel was synthesized using derivatized hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid was acrylated by two steps: (1) introduction of an amine group using ad

The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of thermosensitive hydrogels for intravesical cisplatin delivery into the bladder. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) was grafted onto hyaluronic acid (HA) to synthesize an HPN copolymer, which was further grafted with gelatin to form an HPNG copolymer.
