Definitions

  • Present invention relates to biodegradable endless core-sheath fibers comprising a combination of native and C 11 -C 18 acylated hylauronan or C 11 -C 18 acylated hyaluronans and the method of preparation thereof.
  • Preparation of the fibers is performed using wet spinning to give endless monofilaments with the structure core-sheath, followed by monofilaments processing with routine textile techniques into the form of linear textiles (yarns or braided threads), flat textiles (woven textiles, knitted textiles, braided textiles, nonwoven textiles) and tubular structures (braided, woven, knitted).
  • Prepared biodegradable fibers comprise two components—the core and the sheath that may have two utterly different functions, at the same time, they can carry utterly different active agents, which gives them advantages in applications to ordinary simple fibers. Applicable use of these fibers is directed to medicine, especially to the area of surgery materials, tissue engineering and systems for controlled release.
  • a possible technology for processing of hyaluronic acid into the form of a fiber is a method of wet spinning that was described for hyaluronic acid in the international application of invention WO 2009/050389.
  • the fibers are obtained by coagulation in the bath of concentrated acetic acid (80% to 90%) followed by drying and drawing. Fibers prepared from native hyaluronan are very well water soluble, which is however disadvantageous for many applications. To reduce the solubility of fibers the authors state that the fiber can be coated using hydrophobic agents of plant or animal origin.
  • patent document WO2013167098 uses acetic acid (1 to 99%) for fiber preparation, although in the mixture with alcohol (1 to 99%) that adds higher strength to fibers.
  • Patents CZ 304303 and CZ 304266 use an analogous technology and coagulating baths (organic acid+lower alcohol) needed to obtain fibers on the basis of hyaluronic acid. However, they still obtain just simple fibers that do not have the core-sheath arrangement and they are not suitable for use for controlled release of active agent, as they do not enable releasing of native HA and optionally other active compounds. Moreover, in CZ 304266 are described fibers prepared from hyaluronan oxidized in the position 6 on N-acetyl-D-glucosamine part, it is therefore a derivative with different properties.
  • fibers from native hyaluronan show longer stability in wet environment than in the case of fibers from native hyaluronan, however, only for a period of about 30 minutes, after that they lose the fiber form and turn into gel.
  • the fibers are not primarily determined as carriers of active agents.
  • patent CZ304303 In the description of patent CZ304303 are described simple fibers and textiles on the basis of hydrophobized HA. Although these fibers swell, they do not enable direct and controlled release of native HA, or of an active agent in the site of application.
  • Patent documents WO 93/11803, WO 98/08876, U.S. Pat. No. 5,658,582, US 2004/0192643 describe formation of fibers and nonwoven textiles from esters of hyaluronic acid.
  • the technological process of spinning used enables the formation of short fibers, though not formation of endless filament.
  • the length of the fibers varies in the range of 5 to 100 mm and they can be processed only into the form of nonwoven textile.
  • short fibers in the form of nonwoven textile are described (U.S. Pat. No. 5,658,582), short fibers are also used for preparation of gauze, suture materials, nets, nonwoven textiles (WO 98/08876, U.S. Pat. No. 6,632,802), or also for preparation of wound dressing material (WO 2007/003905).
  • Patent document WO 2010028025 describes fibers of hyaluronic acid and derivatives thereof (particularly salts), methods for preparation thereof and options of use (wrinkles filling, controlled release of drugs, surgery).
  • the fiber is obtained by crosslinking of hyaluronic acid or derivatives thereof using 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). They are again only simple fibers.
  • BDDE 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether
  • U.S. Pat. No. 8,062,654 describes gel or hydrogel core-sheath fibers.
  • the basis are two polymer materials, where the polymer of the core is polymer gel with the potential content of cationic crosslinking agent.
  • the other biodegradable material forming the sheath is well soluble in chlorinated solvents miscible with aliphatic solvents (pentane, hexane), that are used as coagulating (spinning) bath.
  • the sheath of the fiber is made of polymer of lactic acid, polycaprolactone, polyglycolic acid or copolymers and mixtures thereof.
  • the core of the fiber is made of alginate, crosslinked with addition of CaCO 3 .
  • Patent document US 2012/0040463 describes preparation of hollow/multi-membrane fibers from fiber-forming solutions of polysaccharides or collagen using the wet spinning technology.
  • the principle of preparation lies in repeated layering and coagulation of polymer material to fiber. It is stated in the description of the document, that the technology of cyclic coagulation is suitable for materials, that are transformable into the shape of endless fibers with difficulty, such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid, alginates, carboxymethyl cellulose, collagen.
  • Patent document U.S. Pat. No. 6,162,537 describes bicomponent fibers, wherein one component is of resorbable polymer and the other component is made of material that is able to form fibers and is not resorbable. It relates to polyesters, polyamides, polyolefins and polyurethanes, particularly polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyhexamethylene terephtalate (PBTP). At least one component contains pharmacologically active ingredient. Use of the material is aimed at the area of nondegradable implantable medical devices. This implant is however determined only for applications, where it is not necessary to demand its complete degradation and resorption.
  • melt spinning The most frequently described procedure of the preparation of the core-sheath fibers is spinning of melts, a technology called melt spinning.
  • melt spinning a technology that the core-sheath fibers were prepared also in the U.S. Pat. No. 8,129,449 or document US 2011/0028062.
  • the melt spinning technology enables though only spinning of polymers that are meltable, which cannot be used in the case of materials that are the subject of present invention.
  • Patent document WO 2004/061171 describes fibers of the type “side by side”, where there are 2 polymer materials of different properties but due to the arrangement of the two components in the fiber it is not possible to use the structure in cases, when the active agent, dispersed in one polymer component, is necessary to be covered with protecting sheathing layer.
  • Patent document WO 2006/102374 describes healing nettings of bicomponent core-sheath fibers where the bioactive agent is contained exclusively in the sheath.
  • Bicomponent fiber contains non absorbing core and absorbent surface.
  • Polymer material of the sheath is chosen from a group of polylactides, polyglycolides, p-dioxanes, poly(trimethylene carbonates), polycaprolactones, polyorthoesters.
  • Polymer material suitable for the core is chosen from a group of polyesters, polyolefines, polyamides and fluorated polymers.
  • a disadvantage of these fibers, or nets is the content of bioactive agent exclusively in the sheath of the fiber, which excludes their protection and controlled release.
  • Deficiencies resulting from the state of the art are solved by the endless core-sheath fiber based on hyaluronan or C 11 -C 18 acylated derivative thereof, the subject-matter of which is that it comprises a combination of hyaluronan and acylated derivative thereof or a combination of acylated derivatives thereof, wherein the core and sheath of the fiber are in any of the following arrangements:
