카라기난을 이용한 고 습윤성 및 항균성 콘택트렌즈 제조방법{Manufacturing method of high wettablility and antimicrobial contact lens using carrageenan}Manufacturing method of high wettablility and antimicrobial contact lens using carrageenan

본 발명은 해조다당류인 카라기난을 상호침투고분자네트워크(Interpenetrating polymer network, IPN) 방법으로 하이드로겔 콘택트렌즈에 네트워크시키는 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 카라기난의 결합으로 고습윤성, 단백질 저부착, 그리고 항균성을 가지는 콘택트렌즈 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a manufacturing method in which carrageenan, a seaweed polysaccharide, is networked to a hydrogel contact lens by an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) method, and a contact having high wettability, low protein adhesion, and antimicrobial properties due to the binding of carrageenan It relates to a method of manufacturing a lens.

최근 들어 여러 환경적인 요인으로 안구건조증을 가진 사람이 많이 증가되고 있다. 안구건조증은 눈의 불편함, 시각장애, 눈물막 불안정, 그리고 안구표면의 염증 및 손상을 유발한다. 종래의 콘택트렌즈는 착용감을 향상시키기 위하여 고함수율을 지향하고 있으나 고함수율 콘택트렌즈는 안구건조인에게는 오히려 증상을 악화시키기 때문에 고함수율의 콘택트렌즈보다 고습윤성 콘택트렌즈가 눈 건강에 더 좋다. 그리고 콘택트렌즈는 착용과 세척 등의 관리소홀로 각막염 등 안질환을 유발할 수 있다. 단백질과 같은 침전물의 침착으로 인해 거대 유두 각막증과 같은 안질환을 유발하여 문제가 제기되었다. 습윤성이 좋은 콘택트렌즈는 단백질 침착이 적으며 착용감과 건조함과 같은 문제점들을 감소시켜준다.Recently, the number of people with dry eye syndrome is increasing due to various environmental factors. Dry eye syndrome causes eye discomfort, visual impairment, tear film instability, and inflammation and damage to the ocular surface. Conventional contact lenses aim for a high moisture content in order to improve the fit, but a high moisture content contact lens rather worsens the symptoms for the dry eye, so a high wettability contact lens is better for eye health than a high moisture content contact lens. In addition, contact lenses can cause eye diseases such as keratitis due to negligence of wearing and washing. The problem has been raised by causing eye diseases such as giant papillary keratosis due to the deposition of protein-like deposits. Contact lenses with good wettability have less protein deposition and reduce problems such as fit and dryness.

눈 건강을 지키면서 콘택트렌즈를 착용하기 위해서는 습윤성, 산소투과성이 좋으며 단백질 등의 침착물이 적은 콘택트렌즈가 필요하다. 특히 오늘날과 같은 미세먼지 및 환경오염물이 많은 대기로부터 눈을 보호하기 위한 생체적합한 항균 기능이 겸비된 고기능성 콘택트렌즈의 필요성이 대두된다. 안구가 건조한 경우, 눈물 속의 단백질이 콘택트렌즈에 많이 부착되어 이차적인 문제를 야기시키기도 한다.In order to wear contact lenses while maintaining eye health, contact lenses with good wettability and oxygen permeability and less deposits such as proteins are required. In particular, there is a need for high-functional contact lenses with biocompatible antibacterial functions to protect eyes from today's atmosphere with a lot of fine dust and environmental pollutants. When the eyeballs are dry, the protein in the tears adheres a lot to the contact lenses, causing secondary problems.

그러나 상기 종래기술들은 산소투과도성, 착용감, 습윤성이 낮고 단백질 부착저하성도 충분하지 않은 문제점이 여전히 남아 있었다.However, the prior art still has a problem in that the oxygen permeability, the fit, the wettability are low, and the protein adhesion deterioration is not sufficient.

따라서 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 안출된 것으로, 안구건조증을 가진 사람들에게 가장 필요한 콘택트렌즈의 기능인 고습윤성, 항균성, 그리고 단백질 부착저하 문제를 해결하기 위하여 해조류인 카라기난을 렌즈중합체에 포함시키는 것을 특징으로 한다.Therefore, the present invention was conceived to solve the above problems, and in order to solve the problems of high wettability, antibacterial properties, and protein adhesion, which are the functions of contact lenses most necessary for people with dry eye syndrome, carrageenan, a seaweed, is included in the lens polymer.

카라기난(carrageenan)은 적색 해조류에서 추출한 다당류이며 수용성으로 겔을 형성하고 항균성과 보습성이 우수한 생체적합성 황산화 폴리갈락탄이다. 카라기난은 고분자물질로서 콘택트렌즈 단량체와의 섞임성이 낮아서 콘택트렌즈 제조를 위해서는 상호침투고분자네트워크 방법을 사용하여야 한다.Carrageenan is a polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed and is a biocompatible sulfated polygalactan that is water-soluble and forms a gel and has excellent antibacterial properties and moisturizing properties. Since carrageenan is a high molecular substance and has low miscibility with contact lens monomers, an interpenetrating polymer network method must be used to manufacture contact lenses.

상호침투 고분자 네트워크(IPN)은 고분자를 혼합하는 고분자 블렌드의 한 형태로써 2개 이상의 네트워크를 포함하는 중합체로 하나의 네트워크 구조에 속한 고분자 사슬이 물리적으로 다른 네트워크와 서로 얽혀 있어 각 네트워크 구조의 분리가 어려운 고분자 혼합구조이다. IPN은 고분자의 새로운 물리화학적 특성을 보여주며 네트워크 특성은 중합체의 유형 및 농도, 가교결합방법 및 이들의 제조에 사용된 전체 절차에 따라 달라질 수 있다. IPN과정에 교차결합제와 개시제를 넣어주는 full-IPN과 개시제만 넣어주는 semi-IPN으로 구분되며, 교차결합 반응에 따라 순차적 IPN과 동시적 IPN으로 구분되기도 한다.Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) is a type of polymer blend that mixes polymers. It is a polymer containing two or more networks. The polymer chains in one network structure are physically entangled with other networks, so that each network structure can be separated. It is a difficult polymer mixed structure. IPN reveals new physicochemical properties of polymers, and network properties can vary depending on the type and concentration of the polymer, the crosslinking method, and the overall procedure used to prepare them. The IPN process is divided into full-IPN, which puts a cross-linking agent and an initiator, and semi-IPN, which puts only the initiator, and may be divided into sequential IPNs and simultaneous IPNs according to the cross-linking reaction.

본 발명은 카라기난을 이용하여 semi-IPN과 full-IPN 두 가지 방법이 가능하며 IPN 시간은 1일부터 28일까지 가능하다.In the present invention, two methods of semi-IPN and full-IPN are possible using carrageenan, and the IPN time is available from 1 day to 28 days.

카라기난(carrageenan)은 적색 해조류에서 추출한 다당류이며 수용성으로 겔을 형성하고 생체적합성을 가지며 15~40%의 ester sulfate 함량과 100kDa 이상의 평균 분자량을 갖는 황산화 폴리갈락탄이다. 이의 중합체 사슬은 a-1,3- 및

Figure 112020009368439-pat00001
-1,4-glycosidic 결합에 의해 연결된 D-galactose 과 3,6-anhydrogalactose의 교대 단위에 의해 형성된다. 카라기난은 다양한 종류의 분자 구조를 가지고 있으며, kappa(k)-carrageenan, iota(ι)-carrageenan, lambda(λ)-carrageenan가 있다. k-Carrageenan은 겔 형성능력이 가장 높으며 황산기가 외부로 배향된 인접 사슬의 가교 결합으로 인한 이중나선으로 구성된 3차원 네트워크를 형성하는 특성이 있어서 의료용 콘택트렌즈로의 활용이 용이한 물질이다.Carrageenan is a polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed. It is a sulfated polygalactan with a water-soluble gel-forming, biocompatibility, and an ester sulfate content of 15-40% and an average molecular weight of 100 kDa or more. Its polymer chain is a-1,3- and
Figure 112020009368439-pat00001
It is formed by alternating units of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose linked by -1,4-glycosidic bonds. Carrageenan has various kinds of molecular structures, and there are kappa(k)-carrageenan, iota(ι)-carrageenan, and lambda(λ)-carrageenan. k-Carrageenan has the highest gel-forming ability and has the property of forming a three-dimensional network composed of double helix due to crosslinking of adjacent chains oriented to the outside, making it easy to use as a medical contact lens.

The optimum temperature is 100°C. The polymer is removed from the cast mold and hydrated with ultrapure water to remove unreacted material. The polymer was immersed in an IPN solution containing carrageenan at 37 degrees. A contact lens is manufactured by washing the unreacted material attached to the surface of the lens with distilled water.

실시 예:Example:

본 발명에 사용되는 카라기난이 첨가된 하이드로겔 콘택트렌즈 제조에 사용된 모노머와 비율은 다음과 같다.The monomers and ratios used in manufacturing the hydrogel contact lens to which carrageenan used in the present invention is added are as follows.

본 발명의 혼합비는 중량비로 HEMA 80중량부에 대하여, MPC 2 ~ 20중량부, NVP 2 ~ 20 중량부, EGDMA 0.1 ~ 3중량부, AIBN 0.05 ~ 1중량부의 비율로 만들어진다. 또한 카라기난이 포함된 IPN용액은 증류수 86 ~ 99.35중량%, 카라기난 0.5중량%, MBAA 0.1중량%, APS 0.05 중량%의 비율이다.The mixing ratio of the present invention is made in a ratio of 2 to 20 parts by weight of MPC, 2 to 20 parts by weight of NVP, 0.1 to 3 parts by weight of EGDMA, and 0.05 to 1 parts by weight of AIBN, based on 80 parts by weight of HEMA by weight. In addition, the IPN solution containing carrageenan is a ratio of 86 to 99.35% by weight of distilled water, 0.5% by weight of carrageenan, 0.1% by weight of MBAA, and 0.05% by weight of APS.

카라기난은 젤성이 강하기 때문에 고농도로 취급이 어려우며 콘택트렌즈에 적용 가능한 범위는 0.5중량% ~ 2중량% 범위이다.Since carrageenan has strong gel properties, it is difficult to handle at a high concentration, and the range applicable to contact lenses is in the range of 0.5% by weight to 2% by weight.

IPN 방법은 semi-IPN과 full-IPN 둘 다 사용 가능하며 IPN시간은 1일에서 28일까지 가능하다. IPN방법과 시간에 따라 콘택트렌즈의 성능에 차이가 발생한다.The IPN method can be used for both semi-IPN and full-IPN, and the IPN time is available from 1 day to 28 days. Depending on the IPN method and time, there is a difference in the performance of the contact lens.

본 발명은 카라기난으로 IPN 시간이 경과될수록 렌즈의 습윤성(도 1), 산소투과성(도 2)이 향상되고, 단백질 흡착량(도 3)이 저하되어 콘택트렌즈의 성능이 향상된다. 습윤성은 접촉각으로 확인 가능하며 접촉각의 값이 낮을수록 습윤성이 좋다.In the present invention, as the IPN time elapses with carrageenan, the wettability of the lens (FIG. 1) and oxygen permeability (FIG. 2) improve, and the amount of protein adsorption (FIG. 3) decreases, thereby improving the performance of the contact lens. The wettability can be checked by the contact angle, and the lower the value of the contact angle, the better the wettability.

상기 중합체는 IPN방법에 따른 성능차이를 나타낸다. 즉, 습윤성은 full-IPN(점선)이 semi-IPN(실선)보다 향상성이 좋아지며 산소투과율은 초반에는 방법에 따른 차이가 거의 없다가 7일 이후에는 semi-IPN 하였을 때에 향상성이 더 좋아진다.The polymer shows a difference in performance according to the IPN method. That is, the wettability of full-IPN (dotted line) improves better than semi-IPN (solid line), and the oxygen permeability has little difference depending on the method at the beginning, but the improvement is better when semi-IPN is used after 7 days. Lose.

본 발명 카라기난 콘택트렌즈의 항균성은 IPN 실시 1일 경과 후에 대장균을 이용하여 24시간 배양하여 시험한 것으로 대조군에 비해 현저한 항균효과가 있다.The antimicrobial properties of the carrageenan contact lenses of the present invention were tested by culturing for 24 hours using E. coli 1 day after the IPN implementation, and had a remarkable antibacterial effect compared to the control group.
