Definitions

  • the present invention relates to aqueous solutions for cleaning, soaking or storing contact lenses which contain a solution of a biocompatible polymer having pendant zwitterionic groups formed from monomers including zwitterionic groups and comonomers having hydrophobic groups which are fluoroalkyl or silyl groups.
  • a copolymer having hydrophobic pendant groups these were provided from a comonomer of the general formula Y 1 Q, in which Y 1 was an ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable group and Q was a straight or branched alkyl, alkoxy alkyl or (oligo-alkoxy) alkyl chain containing 6 to 12 carbon atoms, a fluoroalkyl group or a siloxane group.
  • a fluoroalkyl group could contain 2 to 23 carbon atoms whilst the siloxane group contained at least one dialkyl substituted silicon atom.
  • the polymer coatings of WO-A-93/01221 were intended to be stable, that is provide long term coatings which tended not to be removed in use.
  • the coating conferred biocompatibility on the underlying substrates, reducing protein adsorption and platelet activation.
  • Potential uses of the polymers were to coat implants, prostheses, membrane, catheters, contact lenses, intraocular lenses and extra corporeal circuitry.
  • the examples of polymers for coating hydrophobic surfaces, to produce coated articles to be used in an aqueous environment were all substantially-insoluble and were coated from solutions in an alcohol, a chlorinated solvent or a mixture thereof.
  • contact lenses formed from a cross linked polymer including residues derived from a zwitterionic monomer are described, as well as cleaning solutions containing a copolymer of the same zwitterionic monomer and suitable comonomers.
  • the zwitterionic monomer is 2-(methacryloyloxyethyl)-2'-(trimethylammoniumethyl) phosphate inner salt.
  • the comonomers used were n-butyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and styrene.
  • the contact lens treatment solutions in each case contain ethylene glycol in the solvent mixture.

  • the presence of organic solvent in any solution for use with contact lenses is undesirable, since introduction of organic solvent into the eye must be avoided and removal of all traces from a cleaning or a soaking solution is hard.
  • the problem with the copolymers described in JP-A-07-166154 is that they bind inadequately to the surface of the contact lens and so provide very short term benefits.
  • copolymer which can be presented in the form of an aqueous solution, but which binds sufficiently strongly to the surface of a wide variety of contact lenses so that the polymer will remain coated on the surface during storage and after insertion of the lens back into the eye to provide long term biocompatibility, resistance to protein and lipid deposition.

The polymer was redissolved in methanol/chloroform and precipitated into acetone before drying under vacuum.
  • the polymers in aqueous solution can be sterilised without any observable change in performance.
  • the title copolymer was prepared according to the following procedure 21.71g of HEMA-PC was placed in a round bottom flask and dissolved in 250ml ethanol. 3.58g trimethylsilymethyl methacrylate and 0.0135g AIBN were added and the solution degassed with nitrogen for 15 minutes. The solution was then stirred at 63°C for 36 hours and the solvent removed under removed pressure. The solid was dissolved in dichloromethane/methanol (70:30) and precipitated in acetone. The precipitation step was repeated and the polymer dried under vacuum at ambient temperature. The results of the DCA analysis on the silicone and fluorosilicone materials are shown below, in Figures 5 and 6, respectively, compared to HEMA-PC homopolymer using water as a control.
  • the polymer in aqueous solution could be sterilised without any change in performance.
  • the homopolymer was prepared in a similar manner to that described in Example 1 except that only HEMA-PC was used as the polymerisable monomer. This contact angle data is included in each graph showing the data for the three hydrophobically-modified polymers.
  • a copolymer of HEMA-PC and styrene was made using the technique described in Preparation Example 3 for contact lens treatment solutions as in EP-A-0537972. It was subjected to the contact angle test (applied from aqueous solution) as described above on the two membranes on which the polymers of the invention have been tested.
  • the advancing and receding contact angles ("ACA and "RCA", respectively) are shown in Figs 7a and 7b compared to water control ("con").
  • Hydrophobically modified copolymers of a phosphoryl choline-containing methacrylate according to the invention are strongly adsorbed onto a hydrophobic surface.
  • a copolymer synthesised according to the prior art but applied to the lens using the techniques in accordance with the present invention adsorbs to a lesser extent. It provides some change in contact angle at least before replacement of the test solution by water, but adsorption appears to be weaker. Unmodified PC homopolymer is easily removed from the surface.
