- Hyaluronic acid is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is distributed widely throughout the human body in connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. Hyaluronic acid is also a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. As skin ages and is repeatedly exposed to the sun's ultra violet rays, dermal cells decrease their production of hyaluronic acid and increase the rate of its degradation. Likewise, aging skin loses collagen, another natural substance necessary to keep skin youthful and resilient. Over time, the loss of hyaluronic acid and collagen causes aging skin to develop lines, wrinkles, and folds.

Because hyaluronic acid is natural to the human body, it is a generally well tolerated and fairly low risk skin augmentation product.
- hyaluronic acid compositions contained particles, or microspheres, of hyaluronic acid suspended in a gel. These compositions, which are still in commercial use, tend to degrade within a few months after injection and thus require fairly frequent reinjection to maintain their skin augmenting effect. Specifically, hyaluronic acid is highly soluble in its natural state and has a rapid turnover through enzymatic and free radical metabolization.
- compositions of cross-linked hyaluronic acid have been used for dermal augmentation.
- These hyaluronic acid compositions are typically crosslinked with a bifunctional crosslinking agent, such as butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), typically with a double ether bond connecting the HA molecules to form a less water soluble polymer hydrogel network that is more resistant to degradation, and thus requires less frequent reinjection, than the non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions.

Description
- This application is a divisional of U.S. Patent Application No. 12/178,574, filed Jul. 23, 2008, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/952,770, filed on Jul. 30, 2007, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to novel biocompatible polysaccharide gel compositions, methods of their manufacture and use, and the novel crosslinkers used to make them. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel compositions of hyaluronic acid gels that are crosslinked with a novel multifunctional crosslinker, and to methods of making such crosslinked hyaluronic acid gels.
- 2. Background Art
- Hyaluronic acid is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is distributed widely throughout the human body in connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. Hyaluronic acid is also a major component of skin, where it is involved in tissue repair. As skin ages and is repeatedly exposed to the sun's ultra violet rays, dermal cells decrease their production of hyaluronic acid and increase the rate of its degradation. Likewise, aging skin loses collagen, another natural substance necessary to keep skin youthful and resilient. Over time, the loss of hyaluronic acid and collagen causes aging skin to develop lines, wrinkles, and folds.
- In the past several years, compositions of hyaluronic acid have been used in cosmetic applications to fill wrinkles, lines, folds, scars, and to enhance dermal tissue, for example, to plump lips. Because hyaluronic acid is natural to the human body, it is a generally well tolerated and fairly low risk skin augmentation product.
- Originally, hyaluronic acid compositions contained particles, or microspheres, of hyaluronic acid suspended in a gel. These compositions, which are still in commercial use, tend to degrade within a few months after injection and thus require fairly frequent reinjection to maintain their skin augmenting effect. Specifically, hyaluronic acid is highly soluble in its natural state and has a rapid turnover through enzymatic and free radical metabolization.
- More recently, compositions of cross-linked hyaluronic acid have been used for dermal augmentation. These hyaluronic acid compositions are typically crosslinked with a bifunctional crosslinking agent, such as butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), typically with a double ether bond connecting the HA molecules to form a less water soluble polymer hydrogel network that is more resistant to degradation, and thus requires less frequent reinjection, than the non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions. Some such cross-linked compositions contain fairly large particles, around approximately 50-1000 μm each, of hyaluronic acid suspended in a gel. Others are a fairly uniform consistency gel matrix of hyaluronic acid.
- While these known crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions last longer than their noncrosslinked counterparts, their duration is typically twelve months or less, thus still requiring fairly frequent reinjection. It is thus desirable to develop a hyaluronic acid composition that is biocompatible and useful as a dermal filler, but has a longer useful lifetime upon injection. Specifically, it is desirable to develop a hyaluronic acid composition that is biocompatible and injectable, but that has a higher mechanical strength, a greater resistance to enzymatic degradation, and a higher water retention than currently available compositions.
- The present invention relates to compositions of crosslinked hyaluronic acid, methods of their manufacture, and methods of their use. More specifically, the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of crosslinked hyaluronic acid, the process comprising contacting hyaluronic acid with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) based crosslinking agent. The polyethylene glycol based crosslinker agent (or crosslinker) may be bifunctional, meaning it has a PEG backbone with two reactive groups for linking to the hyaluronic acid chains. Or, the polyethylene glycol based crosslinking agent (or crosslinker) may be “multifunctional,” having a PEG backbone with more than two reactive groups for linking to hyaluronic acid chains. The process may additionally include contacting the hyaluronic acid with a non-polyethylene glycol based crosslinking agent, including but not limited to BDDE or divinyl sulfone (DVS). According to some of the processes of the present invention for making a crosslinked hyaluronic acid, the polyethylene based crosslinking agent may be tetrafunctional and the hyaluronic acid may be brought into contact with the tetrafunctional crosslinking agent and with a bifunctional crosslinking agent, such as, for example, BDDE.
- The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of crosslinked hyaluronic acid, the process comprising contacting hyaluronic acid with a multifunctional crosslinking agent. The multifunctional crosslinking agent may be tri, tetra, penta, hexa, etc. functional (having more than two functional groups for reaction). In one embodiment of the present invention, the process comprises contacting hyaluronic acid with a tetrafunctional crosslinking agent, such as a 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide which is further described herein. The process may further comprise contacting the hyaluronic acid with a bifunctional crosslinking agent as well. The hyaluronic acid may be contacted with a variety of bifunctional and multifunctional crosslinking agents, and such contact may occur sequentially in any order, or the hyaluronic acid may be reacted with the various crosslinking agents in one step.
- The processes of the present invention may also comprise coating hyaluronic acid compositions with polyethylene glycol based pendants. The polyethylene glycol based coating may be applied to crosslinked or uncrosslinked hyaluronic acid. In one preferred embodiment, the crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions made according to the present invention are further coated with polyethylene glycol based pendants.
- The present invention also includes compositions for soft tissue augmentation, and in particular for dermal fillers, which are prepared according to the processes of the present invention. More specifically, the present invention includes a composition for soft tissue augmentation, and particularly for use as a dermal filler, the composition comprising hyaluronic acid that has been crosslinked with at least one type of polyethylene glycol crosslinking agent. The polyethylene glycol based crosslinking agent(s) may be bifunctional, multifunctional, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, a hyaluronic acid composition of the present invention has been crosslinked with a 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide. The compositions of the present invention may also comprise crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions that have been prepared using more than one type of PEG crosslinking agent. For example, the compositions of the present invention may be prepared using a combination of polyethylene glycol based crosslinkers with varying numbers of functional groups and/or with varying lengths of ethylene glycol in their polymer chains or arms. The compositions of the present invention may further comprise a polyethylene glycol based coating.
- The present invention further relates to dermal filler compositions comprising hyaluronic acid that has been crosslinked using at least one multifunctional crosslinking agent. The multifunctional crosslinking agent may be a multifunctional polyethylene glycol based crosslinking agent, such as a tetrafunctional polyethylene glycol based crosslinking agent, including, but not limited to, a 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide. The dermal fillers of the present invention may also comprise hyaluronic acid that has been crosslinked with a multifunctional crosslinking agent, such as a tetrafunctional polyethylene glycol, and also with a bifunctional crosslinking agent, such as BDDE, DVS, or a bifunctional polyethylene glycol.
- In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to methods for repair or augmentation of the soft tissue of a patient comprising the steps of selecting the soft tissue to be repaired or augmented and injecting a composition comprising a crosslinked hylauronic acid of the present invention, as described herein, into the selected soft tissue.
- The foregoing and other aspects, features, details, utilities, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from reading the following description and claims, and from reviewing the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 depicts crosslinking of two hyaluronic acid chains with a bifunctional crosslinking agent. -
FIG. 2 depicts crosslinking of four hyaluronic acid chains with a multifunctional crosslinking agent. -
FIG. 3 depicts two chemical formulas for the tetrafunctional polyethylene glycol based crosslinking agent and its precursor of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is a graph showing the difference in mechanical strength between a sample a hyaluronic acid composition that was crosslinked with BDDE, and a hyaluronic acid composition that was crosslinked with a combination of BDDE and a 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide crosslinking agent of the present invention. - The present invention generally relates to hyaluronic acid compositions that are crosslinked using a multifunctional crosslinking agent, methods of using such compositions, and to the novel crosslinking agents used to make such hyaluronic acid compositions. Such crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions are useful for soft tissue augmentation, and particularly as dermal filler agents.
- One aspect of this invention relates to novel catalysts for the crosslinking of hyaluronic acid. In one embodiment, the crosslinkers of the present invention are polyethylene glycol (PEG) based crosslinkers. PEG is a biocompatible polymer which is hydrophilic and inert. Because it is a polymer itself, its size (length) can be altered. Thus, the size of the PEG based crosslinker can be tuned based on the desired properties of the crosslinked hyaluronic acid. As shown in
FIG. 1 , in one embodiment of the present invention, the PEG basedcrosslinker 200 is bifunctional—both ends of the polymer chain are reactive (typically having epoxide ends) and thus capable of binding to strands ofhyaluronic acid 100. In another embodiment of the present invention, the PEG based crosslinker comprises PEG of a plurality of chain lengths. The PEG based crosslinker can be made according to any PEG synthesis methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art. - The PEG based crosslinkers of the present invention may be used on their own or in combination with any another crosslinking agent suitable for making crosslinked hyaluronic acid. In one embodiment of the present invention, a combination of PEG based crosslinkers of the present invention and BDDE is used to make a crosslinked hyaluronic acid composition.
- In another embodiment, the crosslinker of the present invention is a multifunctional crosslinker. As used herein, multifunctional means having more than two reactive sites on the crosslinking agent. As shown in
FIG. 2 , themultifunctional crosslinker 300 is able to bind more chains ofhyaluronic acid 100 to one another than a bifunctional crosslinker. Thus, the multifunctional crosslinker results in hyaluronic acid compositions with greater mechanical strength (G′). The multifunctional crosslinkers of the present invention also improve the degradation of the resulting hyaluronic acid composition. Moreover, the multifunctional crosslinkers of the present invention increase the probability of each crosslinking molecule reacting with at least one hyaluronic acid strand, thereby facilitating purification and removal of unreacted crosslinking agents from the final hyaluronic acid composition. - In one embodiment of the present invention, the multifunctional crosslinker is trifunctional (contains 3 active sites). In another embodiment, the multifunctional crosslinker is tetrafunctional. In yet another embodiment, the multifunctional crosslinker is pentafunctional. In still another embodiment, the multifunctional crosslinker is hexafunctional or more. Indeed, the number of functional sites on the crosslinker of the present invention is limited only by the ability of the hyaluronic acid chains to bind to the resulting active sites on the crosslinker due to, e.g., geometry and steric hindrance. In another embodiment of the present invention, a crosslinker composition comprises multifunctional crosslinkers of at least two different functionalities (e.g. a combination of tetrafunctional crosslinkers with hexafunctional crosslinkers). In still a further embodiment, a multifunctional crosslinker is combined with a bifunctional crosslinker in varying ratios to create hyaluronic acid compositions with varying mechanical strength. Table 1 shows a few sample bifunctional to multifunctional crosslinker ratios and the mechanical strengths of the resulting hyaluronic acid gels.
- In a further aspect, the multifunctional crosslinker of the present invention may be a multifunctional PEG based crosslinker. A tetrafunctional PEG based crosslinker of the present invention is shown in
FIG. 3 . As shown inFIG. 3 , in one embodiment, the present invention relates to a tetrafunctional PEG crosslinker precursor. As further shown inFIG. 3 , the tetrafunctional PEG crosslinker precursor may further be reacted with an epoxide to create a novel 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide crosslinker. The epoxide tetrafunctional PEG crosslinker shown inFIG. 3 may be made from a base poly-alcohol molecule (i.e. pentaerythritol) by attaching epoxide groups and reacting with hydroxyl-PEG chains of the desired length and branching. Epoxide groups can be attached to the base poly-alcohol molecule by deprotonating the hydroxyl groups and reacting with epichlorohydrin. The epoxide rings can subsequently react with the hydroxyl groups of the PEG chains under basic conditions. In the final step of the cross-linker preparation, epoxide groups can be attached to each end of the PEG chains, thus enabling the reaction of the crosslinker with the polysaccharide molecule. - As with the bifunctional PEG based crosslinkers, described above, tetrafunctional PEG based crosslinkers (including the 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide) are of tunable size. As shown in
FIG. 3 , the crosslinkers may have a variety of polymer lengths in their arms, thereby affecting their mechanical properties. Moreover, by mixing the tetrafunctional based PEG crosslinkers of the present invention with a bifunctional crosslinker, such as, for example, the bifunctional PEG crosslinkers of the present invention, BDDE, DVS, and/or 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane, in varying ratios, the mechanical strength and hardness of the final hyaluronic acid composition may be tuned as desired. - The present invention also relates to crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions that are made using the crosslinking agents of the present invention. In one embodiment, the hyaluronic acid compositions of the present invention comprise a PEG based crosslinker. In a further embodiment, the hyaluronic acid compositions of the present invention comprise a multifunctional PEG based crosslinker. In yet a further embodiment, the hyaluronic acid compositions comprise a tetrafunctional PEG based crosslinker. And in still a further embodiment, the hyaluronic acid compositions comprise a 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide cross linker. In other embodiments, the hyaluronic acid compositions comprise multifunctional crosslinkers as well as bifunctional crosslinkers. The hyaluronic acid compositions of the present invention may be fairly uniform gels or they may be ground into particles which can be further suspended in a gel. In one embodiment of the present invention, the hyaluronic acid composition comprises hyaluronic acid that is made with a multifunctional crosslinking agent and then ground into particles, and a gel of hyaluronic acid made with a multifunctional and/or bifunctional crosslinking agent in which the particles are suspended.
- In yet another aspect of the present invention, hyaluronic acid compositions are further coated in PEG based pendant. As a biocompatible, inert, and hydrophilic polymer, PEG offers good degradation resistance to hyaluronic acid. Crosslinked or noncrosslinked hyaluronic acid particles can be coated with PEG based pendants to enhance their in vivo longevity. In one embodiment, the crosslinked hyaluronic acid compositions of the present invention are ground into particles and the particles are coated with PEG based pendants. The particles may typically be about 100 μm to 1000 μm and the coating may typically range from 2 nm to 50 nm in thickness.
- The present invention also relates to methods of making hyaluronic acid compositions that are crosslinked with a PEG based crosslinker. In one embodiment, hyaluronic acid is brought into contact with a bifunctional PEG based crosslinker and allowed to react. In a further embodiment, hyaluronic acid is brought into contact with a quantity of a bifunctional crosslinker, and is then brought into contact with a quantity of a multifunctional crosslinker. The hyaluronic acid may be reacted with more than one crosslinker in either a step-wise fashion, with a lower functionality crosslinker being brought into contact first or with a higher functionality crosslinker being brought into contact first. Or, the hyaluronic acid may be reacted with a plurality of crosslinkers in one step.
- Another aspect of the present invention is methods of using the novel hyaluronic acid compositions of the present invention to augment soft tissue. In one embodiment, the novel hyaluronic acid compositions of the present invention are used as dermal fillers to fill undesired lines, wrinkles, and/or folds in a patient's skin.
- The following examples provide further detail regarding some of the embodiments of the present invention.
- A multifunctional crosslinker of the present invention may be prepared from a base polyalcohol. For example, 136 mg of pentaerythritol (i.e. for the tetrafunctional PEG crosslinker) may be reacted with 100 mg of sodium hydride and subsequently with 370 mg of epichlorohydrin to attach the epoxide groups. 5000 mg of hydroxyl PEG chains (i.e. MW=1.25 k) may be reacted with the epoxide terminated poly-alcohol under basic conditions (i.e. in a NaOH solution) to yield a tetrafunctional PEG hydroxyl terminated crosslinker precursor. The precursor can be reacted with an equimolar amount of epichlorohydrin as described above to produce the tetrafunctional crosslinker.
- One embodiment of a hyaluronic acid gel according to the present invention may be prepared as follows.
- One gram of sodium hyaluronate fibers (NaHA, Mw=0.5-3 MDa) is mixed with 5-10 grams of 0.01-1% sodium hudroxide solution and the mixture is left to hydrate for 1 to 5 hours. Then 20-200 mg of 1,4 butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) and 0.05-2 g of 4-Arm star PEG epoxide (Mw=200-10,000 Da) are added to the NaHA gel. The mixture is mechanically homogenized, then placed in a 40-70° C. oven for 1 to 10 hours. The resulting crosslinked hydrogel is neutralized with an equimolar amount of hydrochloric acid and swelled in a phosphate buffer (PBS, pH=7.4). This hydrogel may then be mechanically homogenized.
- To compare the characteristics of a crosslinked hyaluronic acid of the present invention to a prior art type of crosslinked hyaluronic acid, the method disclosed in Example 2 was used to prepare a batch of the novel tunably crosslinked hyaluronic acid. A similar method was used to prepare a batch of a known crosslinked hyaluronic acid, using BDDE as the only crosslinking agent (not adding any of the novel 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide) such that the molar ratio of HA to crosslinker was the same as in Example 2.
- Samples from the two batches were then compared using strain sweep tests to determine gel hardness as an indicator of the degree of crosslinking of each sample. The strain sweep tests were performed on an ARES rheometer using a 50 mm parallel plate set-up. Approximately 2 to 3 ml of each sample was placed at the center of the lower plate and the gap was set to 1 mm. The test was performed at 5 Hz frequency for a range of 1-250% strain. At low values of strain, the plateau in the elastic or storage modulus G′ quantifies the gel hardness.
-
FIG. 4 demonstrates graphically the results of measurements made on the filling gels prepared according to the invention in comparison to prior art hydrogels. As shown inFIG. 4 , the G′ plateau for the hydrogel of the present invention is significantly higher than that of the prior art gel. The hydrogel of the present invention is harder and is more highly cross-linked than the prior art gel. - Six samples of crosslinked hyaluronic acid were prepared using bifunctional PEG and 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide crosslinkers. In each sample, the ratio of bifunctional PEG to 4-Arm Star PEG epoxide was varied, such that the molar ratio of HA to total crosslinker remained the same for all six samples. The mechanical strength of each sample was tested using the same method described above. The plateau in G′ at low strain values is reported in the Table 1 below. As shown in Table 1, the plateau G′ value at low strain increases as bifunctional crosslinker is replaced by equimolar amounts of the tetrafunctional crosslinker, indicating an increased degree of crosslinking.
-
TABLE 1 % Bifunctional PEG % 4-Arm Star PEG Epoxide G′ (Pa) 100 0 180 90 10 190 85 15 205 75 25 252 50 50 360 25 75 400 - PEG based pendant coated hydrogel particles may be prepared by mixing 380 mg of hydrogel particles, such as Captique®, with 0-100 mg of epoxide terminated monofunctional PEG 2000 Da and 0.5 ml of sodium hydroxide (0.01-1% wt) and left to react for 1-10 hrs at 40-70° C. The resulting PEG based pendant coated particles may be neutralized with an equimolar amount of hydrochloric acid.
- Coated particles may be compared to non-coated particles using an enzymatic degradation assay. A 0.1-10 mg quantity of hyaluronidase may be added to the hyaluronic acid particles for 10-250 mins at 37° C. followed by 0.1 ml of a 0.8 M potassium tetraborate solution and heating at 100° C. for 10 mins. The samples may be supplemented with 3 ml of a 10% wt p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde solution in acetic acid and incubated at 37° C. for 10-120 mins. The absorbance at 585 nm may be used to quantify the hyaluronic acid degradation in each sample. The optical density (OD) values are reported in Table 2. As more PEG based pendant is used to coat the hyaluronic acid particles, the system becomes less susceptible to enzymatic degradation.
