Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to functionalized support material suitable for use in chromatography columns or cartridges.
- the present invention further relates to chromatography columns or cartridges containing the functionalized support material, methods of making functionalized support material, and methods of using functionalized support material, for example, as separation media in a chromatography column or cartridge.
- Cation and anionic exchange chromatographic materials are known.
- Cation exchange chromatographic materials typically contain media having surface attached anionic groups such as sulfonic acid groups (e.g., S strong cation exchanger) and/or carboxylic acid groups (e.g., CM weak cation exchanger).
- Anion exchange chromatographic materials typically contain media having surface attached cationic groups such as quaternary ammonium (e.g., Q strong anion exchanger) and/or diethylaminoethyl (e.g., DEAE weak anion exchanger).
- tentacles comprising grafted polymer chains are grafted onto the surface of the media.
- the grafted polymer chains contain repeating units of ionic groups, connected from the end of the polymers to the surface of the media. These polymer chains can rotate freely, allowing interactions between protein molecules and polymeric stationary phase without requirements of the biomolecules to diffuse onto the surface of the media and thus enable high protein loading.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to functionalized support material suitable for use in chromatography columns or cartridges. The present invention further relates to chromatography columns or cartridges containing the functionalized support material, methods of making functionalized support material, and methods of using functionalized support material, for example, as separation media in a chromatography column or cartridge.
- Cation and anionic exchange chromatographic materials are known. Cation exchange chromatographic materials typically contain media having surface attached anionic groups such as sulfonic acid groups (e.g., S strong cation exchanger) and/or carboxylic acid groups (e.g., CM weak cation exchanger). Anion exchange chromatographic materials typically contain media having surface attached cationic groups such as quaternary ammonium (e.g., Q strong anion exchanger) and/or diethylaminoethyl (e.g., DEAE weak anion exchanger).
- In separation processes, such as protein purification, given the extremely high molecular weight (MW) and the slow moving of biomolecules, diffusion of the high MW biomolecules to the media surface is very slow and limited. To address this problem, the “tentacle” concept was developed and found to be very useful and widely applied. In the “tentacle” concept, tentacles comprising grafted polymer chains are grafted onto the surface of the media. The grafted polymer chains contain repeating units of ionic groups, connected from the end of the polymers to the surface of the media. These polymer chains can rotate freely, allowing interactions between protein molecules and polymeric stationary phase without requirements of the biomolecules to diffuse onto the surface of the media and thus enable high protein loading.
- The most common chemistry involved in the tentacle coating concept utilizes the “graft from” concept. In such chemistries, radical polymerization is initiated from the surface of the media particles. For cation exchange media, Ce(IV) salt (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,453,186 to E. Merck) is utilized to allow redox chemistry to surface diol groups (e.g., prepared through hydrolysis of attached epoxy groups prior to polymerization) to generate surface radicals, which polymerize sulfonic acid-containing monomers such as 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). This chemistry is very costly in terms of both raw materials (monomer, Ce salt) and processes (e.g., process control, waste generation during cleanup and disposal, etc.).
- Other ways of growing polymers, including some newly developed living polymerization techniques, have been developed during the past 20 to 25 years. Such techniques include, for example, Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) or Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT), etc. However, such technologies are of high cost, and have not been realized commercially in large scale production.
- Efforts continue to develop cost-effective media suitable for use as cation and/or anionic exchange chromatographic materials, as well as cost-effective methods of making such media.

FIG. 5 provides an exemplary reaction scheme for preparing functionalized support material or chromatographic material of the present invention as described in Example 10 below. - It should be understood that although the herein-described methods and functionalized support material are described as “comprising” one or more features, steps or components, the above-described methods and functionalized support material may “comprise,” “consists of,” or “consist essentially of” any of the above-described features and/or steps and/or components of the methods and functionalized support material. Consequently, where the present invention, or a portion thereof, has been described with an open-ended term such as “comprising,” it should be readily understood that (unless otherwise stated) the description of the present invention, or the portion thereof, should also be interpreted to describe the present invention, or a portion thereof, using the terms “consisting essentially of” or “consisting of” or variations thereof as discussed below.
- As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having,” “contains”, “containing,” “characterized by” or any other variation thereof, are intended to encompass a non-exclusive inclusion, subject to any limitation explicitly indicated otherwise, of the recited features, steps or components. For example, a method or functionalized support material that “comprises” a list of elements (e.g., components or features or steps) is not necessarily limited to only those elements (or components or features or steps), but may include other elements (or components or features or steps) not expressly listed or inherent to the method and/or functionalized support material.
- As used herein, the transitional phrases “consists of” and “consisting of” exclude any element, step, or component not specified. For example, “consists of” or “consisting of” used in a claim would limit the claim to the components, materials or steps specifically recited in the claim except for impurities ordinarily associated therewith (i.e., impurities within a given component). When the phrase “consists of” or “consisting of” appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, the phrase “consists of” or “consisting of” limits only the elements (or components or steps) set forth in that clause; other elements (or components) are not excluded from the claim as a whole.
- As used herein, the transitional phrases “consists essentially of” and “consisting essentially of” are used to define methods and functionalized support material that include materials, steps, features, components, or elements, in addition to those literally disclosed, provided that these additional materials, steps, features, components, or elements do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. The term “consisting essentially of” occupies a middle ground between “comprising” and “consisting of”.
- Further, it should be understood that the herein-described methods and/or functionalized support material may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of any of the herein-described steps, components and features, as shown in the figures with or without any additional feature(s) not shown in the figures. In other words, for example, in some embodiments, the methods and/or functionalized support material of the present invention may have any additional feature, step and/or component that is not specifically shown in the figures. In some embodiments, the methods and/or functionalized support material of the present invention do not have any additional features, steps and/or components other than those (i.e., some or all) shown in the figures, and such additional features, not shown in the figures, are specifically excluded from the methods and/or functionalized support material.

- The present invention is also directed to methods of making functionalized support material. As discussed above, in one exemplary embodiment, the method of making functionalized support material comprises reacting support material with one or more first reactants so as to form an intermediate product having thiol groups thereon; and polymerizing one or more monomers onto the intermediate product via the thiol groups so as to form polymer chains covalently bonded to the thiol groups.

When present, each organic solvent is present in an amount raging from greater than 0 to about 100 weight percent (wt %) based on a total weight of the reaction mixture.
- In one exemplary embodiment, the method of making functionalized support material or chromatographic material comprises reacting support material with one or more first reactants so as to form an intermediate product having thiol groups thereon; and polymerizing one or more monomers onto the intermediate product via the thiol groups so as to form polymer chains covalently bonded (e.g., directly) to the thiol groups, the polymerizing step utilizing a reaction mixture comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of (i) the intermediate product having thiol groups thereon, (ii) the one or more monomers, (iii) one or more oxidizing agents or a radical initiator such as a bromate-containing salt, (iv) deionized water, and (v) one or more optional organic solvents.
- An exemplary reaction scheme for methods of the present invention is shown in
FIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 1 , in a first step (e.g., a dry bonding step), one or more first reactants in the form of a thiol-containing silane, namely, (3-mercaptopropyl)-trimethoxysilane, reacts with hydroxyl groups along a particle surface of a particulate support material in the form of a silica particle. The resulting intermediate product comprises thiol groups thereon. In a second step, a polymerization step, the resulting intermediate product comprises thiol groups is reacted with one or more monomers in the form of 2-acryamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (i.e., AMPS monomer) in the presence of potassium bromate salt at a reaction temperature of about 30° C. - As discussed above, in some embodiments, the polymerizing step utilizes a reaction mixture free of organic solvent (e.g., free of toluene, free of DMF, free of DMSO, free of NMP). Further, in some desired embodiments, the polymerizing step utilizes a reaction mixture comprising (i) the intermediate product having thiol groups thereon, (ii) the one or more monomers, (iii) a single oxidizing agent or a radical initiator, for example, in the form of a bromate-containing inorganic salt (e.g., potassium bromate or sodium bromate), and (iv) deionized water.
- Although not limited to any particular mechanism, it is believed that the generation of radicals by oxidation of thiols with bromate ions follows the following mechanism:
-
BrO3 −+RSH->BrO2 −+.OH+RS. -
BrO2 −+RSH->BrO−+.OH+RS. -
BrO−+RSH->BrO−+.OH+RS. - Although not limited to any particular mechanism, it is further believed that the solution phased polymerization, as described in the present invention when a bromate-containing inorganic salt is used as a polymerization catalyst, follows the following kinetics:
-
Polymerization Rate=k [M][BrO3 −]1/2[RSH]1/2 - where [M] is the concentration of the monomer, and [BrO3 −] and [RSH] are the concentrations of the bromate ions and the thiols, respectively.
- As shown in the examples below, a variety of polymerization catalysts may be used in the methods of the present invention. Suitable polymerization catalysts/oxidizing agents include, but are not limited to, a cerium (IV) salt such as Ce(SO4)2, a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide, sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8), sodium perborate (NaBO3), sodium periodate (NaIO4), guanidine nitrate, calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2), sodium nitrate (NaNO3), a bleach solution (e.g., a 12 wt % sodium hypochlorite solution), and an radical initiator such as the V-50 initiator (i.e., 2,2′-Azobis(2-methylpropionamidine)dihydrochloride commercially available from Wako Specialty Chemicals (Richmond, Va., USA)).
- The methods of making functionalized support material result in polymer chains comprise n monomeric units. Typically, n ranges from about 2 to about 1 million monomeric units depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the support material, and the ultimate use of the functionalized support material (e.g., as a chromatographic material).
- When the functionalized support material is to be used as a chromatographic material, the methods of the present invention provide the ability to tailor a controlled length of polymer chains extending from the surface of the support material depending on a target analyte (e.g., a target protein). In protein purification for strong cation exchange materials, the target proteins can vary in size significantly. For example, egg white lysozyme has a molecular weight of about 15,000 D, while bovine γ-globulin has a molecular weight of about 200,000 D. The methods of the present invention enable optimization of support material pore size (i.e., pore size of silica) and the amount of polymer needed to provide maximum binding of proteins such as lysozyme and γ-globulin. For example, it has been determined that for lysozyme, 70 μm DAVSIL silica of 1250 Å (D1250) in average pore size, together with a relatively high amount of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) monomer led to high binding, whereas for γ-globulin, D2000 or D2500 silica, of the same particle size, with a relatively low amount of AMPS led to high binding. The following table shows highest binding for the two proteins when compared with commercially available Capto™ S resin from General Electric (GE):
-
TABLE 1 Tailored Functionalized Silica Particles and Binding Results Samples Silica Monomer Amount 5% DBC (mg/mi) S- Silica 1D1250 66.7 wt % of Silica 152 (lysozyme) S- Silica 2D2500 20 wt % of Silica 27 (globulin) GE Capto S n/a n/a 130 (lysozyme) 17 (globulin) - In some embodiments, the methods of the present invention may be carried out using a “one pot” process, wherein the amount of monomer needed for polymerization is significantly reduced. In these embodiments, the method provides an opportunity for cost saving as less than half of a typical amount of the monomer is needed for the polymerization. The ease of process (i.e., no overhead stirrer, and heating is provided by a simple water bath) also adds to cost savings. Performance and maximal binding of globulin to chromatographic material formed using the “one pot” process are shown in the following table:
-
TABLE 2 Functionalized Silica Particles Formed Using the “One-Pot” Process and Binding Results Samples Silica Monomer Amount 5% DBC (mg/mi) S- Silica 3D2000 16.7% of Silica 29 S-Silica 4 D2500 20 wt % of Silica 26 - The rationale for the two formulas, although not wishing to be bound by theory, is that due to the large MW size of the surface polymers, certain blockage of pore size by polymers has led to low binding of large proteins with small pore size silica with large amount of polymers on the surface, and therefore for large proteins such as γ-globulin, a large pore size silica with small amount of polymer on the surface provides better binding results. Thus, the formula for optimizing the functionalized support materials so as to provide exceptional binding results is very flexible with the choice of different pore size support materials (e.g., silica having a pore size of from 500 Å to 6000 Å), and amounts of polymers attached (i.e., by varying the amount of monomer used and the amount of polymerization catalyst) varying depending on the target protein (or other bio-target) and its specific size.

The examples are given as specific illustrations of the claimed invention. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific details set forth in the examples. It is to be clearly understood that resort may be had to various other embodiments, modifications, and equivalents thereof which, after reading the description herein, may suggest themselves to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention and/or the scope of the appended claims.
- All parts and percentages in the examples as well as the remainder of the specification which refers to solid compositions or concentrations are by weight unless otherwise specified. However, all parts and percentages in the examples as well as the remainder of the specification referring to gas compositions are molar or by volume unless otherwise specified.
- Further, any range of numbers recited in the specification or claims, such as that representing a particular set of properties, units of measure, conditions, physical states or percentages, is intended to literally incorporate expressly herein by reference or otherwise, any number falling within such range, including any subset of numbers within any range so recited.
- The following examples described processes for modifying the surfaces of media, including silica and polymeric resins, using the thiol oxidation polymerization chemistry of the present invention. It should be noted that although silica and poly(methylmethacrylate) particles are used in the following examples, other types of particles (or other support materials as discussed above) and particle surfaces (or other support material surfaces) could be modified using similar process.
- One example below relates to porous inorganic media, a silica based ion exchange material, formed via a process consisting of two main steps: (1) bonding of silica surface with thiol group containing methoxysilane to form an initially bonded intermediate; and (2) free radical polymerization of ionic monomer(s), through the introduction of oxidizing agents such as sodium bromate, in the presence of the initially-bonded silica intermediate to generate surface radicals. The surface radicals initiated free radical polymerization of the ionic monomer(s) to form either strong cation exchange media (i.e., referred to herein as “S-silica”), or anion exchange media (i.e., referred to herein as “Q-silica”).
- In another example, the silica particle surface was functionalized with both thiol containing groups and polyethylene glycol containing groups, and the surface was further modified with ionic polymers through free radical polymerization.
- In still another example, poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) resin particles having surface epoxy groups thereon were treated with 1,2-ethanedithiol to introduce surface thiol groups. In this example, one SH group of the 1,2-ethanedithiol reacts and opens the epoxy ring on the PMMA particle surface, and the other SH group of 1,2-ethanedithiol is available for the next step polymerization reaction, followed by oxidative free radical polymerization.
- In one example below for producing S-silica, the monomer utilized was 2-acryamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). In another example below for producing Q-silica, the monomer utilized was (3-acrylamidopropyl)-trimethylammonium chloride. In still another example below for producing a charge-neutral particle surface, the monomer was methacrylic acid. In a final example below, the monomer used was N,N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate.
- Many different types of porous particles were functionalized using the disclosed methods. In some of the examples below, silica gels were utilized, wherein the silica gels have a 70 micron median particle size with median pore sizes of 250, 500, 800, 1000, 1250, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000 Angstroms (Å), etc. The silica gels were prepared using the following procedure: 190 g of a 19 wt % sulfuric acid solution was placed in a reactor equipped with an overhead stirrer and chilled to 5° C. Separately, 263 g of a solution of sodium silicate (22.9 wt % SiO2) was also chilled to 5° C. Subsequently, the sodium silicate solution was added to the sulfuric acid solution via a pump at such a rate as to add the full quantity of silicate in 15 minutes. During the addition step, the temperature was maintained at 5° C. After the addition was completed, the reactor was warmed to room temperature and the contents were allowed to gel without stirring. Upon gelation, the gel mass was cut in small pieces and submerged in water, in order to remove the sodium sulfate formed during the reaction.
- The level of sodium sulfate remaining in the material was periodically checked, as wash water was drained and fresh water was added to the gel. When the level fell below 1 wt %, the gel was suspended in water, the pH of the liquid was adjusted to pH=9.7, and the solution was heated to 67° C. The temperature was maintained for 20 hours and 20 minutes. At the end of the heating period, the gel was recovered by filtration and dried in a 160° C. oven until the moisture content of the gel was less than about 5% by weight.
- The silica gel thus obtained had a nitrogen Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 325 m2/g and a nitrogen pore volume of 1.24 cc/g. Assuming cylindrical pores and using the equation:
-
Pore Size (Å)=40000×PV/SA, - the material exhibited a pore size of 153 Å. Subsequently, the gel was milled to the desired particle size (e.g., 70 microns) using an Air Classifying Mill (ACM) and then hydrothermally treated in an autoclave at 300° C. until the desired pore size is achieved.
- The particle sizes reported in the examples were determined by light scattering using a Malvern Mastersizer 2000 available from Malvern Instruments Ltd. per ASTM B822-10. Pore size distributions were measured by mercury intrusion using an Autopore IV 9520 available from Micromeritics Instrument Corporation. Pore volumes referenced herein represented mercury intrusion into pores 10,000 Å and below. Pore size distributions were also measured by nitrogen sorption (i.e., the BJH (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda) method) using a Tristar 3000 also available from Micromeritics Instrument Corp. BJH surface areas were calculated for pores in the range of 20 to 3800 Å. BET surface areas were also obtained from the nitrogen sorption analysis. Elemental analyses of carbon and sulfur content were conducted using a LECO Carbon and Sulfur Analyzer SC-632 available from LECO Corp. Average molecular weight was determined by GPC analysis using a GPCV 2000 with RI and Viscometric Detection available from Waters Corp. The purity of the silica was measured by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) using an ICPE-9000 available from Shimadzu Corp.
- The static binding tests were performed using lysozyme (S-silica) or BSA (bovine serum albumin) (Q silica) (25 mg/ml concentration in buffer) at pH 7.0 with 50 mM phosphate buffer or pH 8.0 with 50 mM Tris HCl buffer. The binding/washing buffers were (i) pH 7.0 with 50 mM phosphate buffer or (ii) pH 8.0, 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer. The elution buffers were (i) pH 7.0 with 50 mM phosphate buffer or (ii) pH 8.0, 50 mM/Tris-HCl/1 M NaCl.
- Oven dried silica samples were weighted into vials, and then protein solutions in binding buffer were added. After overnight adsorption, the samples were centrifuged and supernatant separated and discarded. The silica samples were washed three times with washing buffer with centrifugation and separation. After the washing steps, elution buffer was added and the elution was repeated a second time.
- The UV/Vis adsorption was measured for the combined elution solution at 280 um using a Genesys 10S Bio UV-Vis spectrophotometer available from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. The binding capacities were calculated based on protein absorption coefficients and the densities of the media.
- The dynamic binding tests (DBC) were performed using Omni glass columns with 0.66 cm diameter. For 2 ml of column, the column length was around 5.8 cm. Media samples were de-fined with DI water, and then the column was slurry packed with Akta FPLC at about 4000 cm/h linear velocity. For the breakthrough curve, (i) lysozyme protein in pH 7.0, 50 mM phosphate buffer or (ii) BSA protein in pH 8.0, 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer were passed through a column with Akta at about 500 or 1000 cm/h. UV-Vis signals at 280 nm were measured using a UV900 available from General Electric, and chromatograms were recorded and plotted with Microsoft Excel. 5% of breakthrough points were generally used to calculate dynamic binding capacity.
- As shown in
FIG. 2 , two different routes were utilized to introduce polymer chains containing anionic sulfonic acid groups onto the surface of silica particles. The first route involved initial bonding of thiol groups by reacting (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (thiol silane), followed by polymerization. The second route involved two surface modifying silanes: (i) thiol silane and (ii) 2-[methoxy(polyethyleneoxy)propyl]-trimethoxysilane (PEG silane) available from Gelest, Inc. - The main benefit for the second route, as described in the examples, was that the initially bonded silica was more hydrophilic and could be washed with water, while for the first one, some organic solvent, such as methanol or acetone, was used for clean-up and removal of unreacted/unattached silane reagents.
- 100 grams of silica was rolled and mixed with 5 grams of (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane in a 2 L round bottom flask on a rotavap (i.e., a rotary evaporator) at room temperature for 16 hours. Then, the silica was washed with 4×400 ml of methanol and filtered. After drying, carbon and sulfur contents of the silica were evaluated.
- 100 grams silica was rolled and mixed with 5 grams of (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane in a 2 L round bottom flask on a rotavap at room temperature for 5 hours, and then 5 grams of 2-[methoxy(polyethyleneoxy(propyl)] trimethoxysilane was added and the mixture was rolled and mixed for 16 hours (overnight) at room temperature. Then, the silica was washed with 5×500 ml of DI water and filtered. After drying, carbon and sulfur contents of the silica were evaluated.
- A 500 ml three-necked round bottom flask was equipped with an overhead mechanical stirrer with gas tight fitting, a nitrogen gas inlet and outlet, and heating mantle with thermal couple feedback. The initially bonded silica, 30 g, AMPS monomer (amounts described in Table 1 below), and 200 ml of deionized (DI) water were first charged into the flask. The system was stirred and bubbled with nitrogen for 20 minutes. Then, sodium bromate salt (amounts described in Table 1) was added.
- The mixture was graduated heated to 50-60° C. The mixture was kept at constant high temperature for 2 hours with overhead stirring. The flask was then allowed to cool down to room temperature. The mixture was poured into 600 ml of 5% NaCl solution in a beaker. The flask was rinsed with DI water to completely move the residual silica inside the flask. After the mixture was stirred with overhead stirrer for a few minutes, the silica was allowed to settle and the top aqueous layer was separated by decant.
- To the silica was added 500 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, and then the aqueous solution was separated by settling and decant. The silica was washed three times with 500 ml 5% NaCl, and three times with 500 ml DI water, with each wash followed with filtration under vacuum. The sample was left in air to dry except that a small amount of silica was dried at 90° C. overnight and then submitted for elemental analysis of carbon and sulfur content. The results are listed in Table 3 below:

FIG. 3 . 25 grams of initially bonded silica having a 1000 Å median pore size, and a 75 μm average particle size was made as discussed above, but only thiol silane was used in the initial bonding step. (Elemental analysis of the bonded material showed that C=0.95%, S=0.53%.) The intermediate product (i.e., silica particles with thiol groups thereon) was mixed with 35 grams of (3-acrylamidopropyl)-trimethylammonum chloride (75% aqueous solution, available from TCI America), 2.31 grams of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (65% solution, available from Aldrich), and 200 ml of DI water in a 500 ml three necked round bottom flask using a setup as described in Examples 1-5. - After removing air from the system with nitrogen bubbling for 20 minutes, 1.0 grams of potassium bromate was added. The mixture was stirred and gradually heated to 65° C. and reacted at 65° C. for 2 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and washed with 3×500 ml of 5% NaCl, and 3×500 ml of DI water with filtration. The carbon and sulfur contents for the dried sample were 5.42% and 0.48%, respectively.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , 30 grams of initially bonded silica having a 1000 Å median pore size, and a 75 μm average particle size (i.e., the same as in Example 6) was mixed with 30 gram of methacrylic acid and 150 grams of DI water. The polymerization reaction was conducted as described in Example 6. The final carbon content of the sample after drying was 18.87%. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , 30 grams of initially bonded silica having a 1000 Å median pore size, and a 75 μm average particle size (i.e., the same as in Example 6) was mixed with 30 gram of N,N-diethylaminoethyl acrylate (available from Aldrich) and 150 grams of DI water. The polymerization reaction was conducted as described in Example 6. The final carbon content of the sample after drying was 19.29%. - The following example utilized a reaction scheme as shown in
FIG. 4 . As shown inFIG. 4 , 65 grams of silica having a 1000 Å median pore size, and a 75 μm average particle size was initially bonded with 9 grams of (3-glycidoxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane (available from Aldrich). After overnight rolling, the treated silica was washed with 5×500 ml of DI water and filtered. A dried sample was determined to have carbon content of 1.18%. - Half of the above, wet silica was mixed with 0.50 g of 1,2-ethanedithiol in 170 ml of DI water. The mixture was stirred and heated to 60° C. for 2 hours, and then 1 ml of concentrated HCl was added. The mixture was mixed for another hour and then allowed to cool to room temperature. Then, 60 grams of AMPS monomer was added. The polymerization was carried in a three necked flask using a similar set up as described in Examples 1-5. After 20 minutes of nitrogen bubbling, 2 grams of potassium bromate was added.
- The temperature of the stirred mixture was raised to 60° C. and kept at 60° C. for 2 hours and then the reaction mixture was washed and filtered with 1×500 ml of 10% NaCl, 1×500 ml saturated NaHCO3, 3×500 ml 5% NaCl, and 3×500 ml DI water. It was determined that the final dried sample had a carbon content of 3.11% and sulfur content of 1.19%. Lysozyme DBC was measured to be 74 mg/ml.
- The following example utilized a reaction scheme as shown in
FIG. 5 . Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) resin particles (100 μm average particle size) having surface epoxy groups thereon were purchased from Resindion (Rome, Italy). To a 1 L three necked round bottom flask, equipped with thermo couple, overhead stirrer, and nitrogen inlet and outlet was added 40 grams (dry based) of the PMMA resin and 0.53 g of 1,2-ethanedithiol, and 100 ml of DI water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes, and then 10 ml of concentrated HCl was added. The whole mixture was stirred for another 10 minutes and then the temperature of the mixture was raised to, and held at, 60° C. for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the resin was filtered and washed with DI water (3×500 ml) and let dry in air. - 20 grams of the above dried resin was mixed with 60 grams of AMPS silica, and 200 g of DI water. The polymerization was carried out in a manner as described in Examples 1-5, with 1.0 gram of KBrO3, at 50° C. for 2 hours. After washing and filtration (similar process as described in other examples), the clean material was evaluated for lysozyme binding. It was determined the DBC was 140.8 mg/ml of lysozyme in pH 7.0 50 mM phosphate buffer.
- The present invention was further exemplified via alternative polymerization processes as discussed in the examples below:
- In a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask was place 30 g of thiol/PEG modified, dried silica (see, for example,
FIG. 2 , Route 2), and to this was added pre-determined amounts of AMPS monomer and 95 ml of DI water. Argon gas was bubbled into the mixture. After 20 minutes of bubbling, a 5 ml solution of sodium bromate (0.2 g) was added to the mixture. The top of the flask was quickly sealed with two layers of parafilm to prevent air from getting into the flask. The flask was gradually heat to 65° C. with water bath and kept at 65° C. for 2 hours. During this period, the flask was gently shaken to mix occasionally. After the reaction, the flask was allowed to cool down to room temperature. - The mixture was poured into 300 ml of 5% NaCl solution in a beaker. The flask was rinsed with 10% NaCl solution to completely move the residual silica inside the flask. After the mixture was stirred with overhead stirrer for a few minutes, the silica was allowed to settle and the top aqueous layer was separated by decant. To the silica was added 200 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, and then the aqueous solution was separated by settling and decant. The silica was washed three times with 500 ml 5% NaCl and three times with 500 ml DI water, each time followed with filtration under vacuum. The sample was left in air to dry except that a small amount of silica was dried at 90° C. overnight and then submitted for elemental analysis of carbon and sulfur content.
- In a 500 ml round bottom flask was charged 100 g of thiol/PEG modified, dried silica (see again, for example,
FIG. 2 , Route 2), pre-determined amounts of AMPS monomer and 320 ml of DI water. The flask was placed onto a rotavap and the whole system was flashed with argon gas for 30 minutes. After that, 0.7 g of sodium bromate in 15 ml of DI water was added through a syringe with a long needle. The whole system was kept under argon gas while the flask was rotated and gradually heated to 60° C. with a water bath. After 2 hours, the flask was allowed to cool down to room temperature. - The mixture was then poured into 600 ml of 5% NaCl solution in a beaker. The flask was rinsed with 10% NaCl solution to completely move the residual silica inside the flask. After the mixture was stirred with overhead stirrer for a few minutes, the silica was allowed to settle and the top aqueous layer was separated by decant. To the silica was added 600 ml of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, and then the aqueous solution was separated by settling and decant. The silica was washed three times with 600 ml 5% NaCl and three times with 600 ml DI water, each time followed with filtration under vacuum. The sample was left in air to dry except that a small amount of silica was dried at 90° C. overnight and then submitted for elemental analysis of carbon and sulfur content.
- The median pore size of silica and the amounts of AMPS monomer used in the reaction have significant influence on the binding capacity of large protein 7-globulin. Examples 11 and 12, made with the process at 30 g scale, had large binding capacity for γ-globulin as shown in Table 4 below:
-

- In these examples, fixed amounts of silica (30 g) and water were used in the processes as described above. In place of sodium bromate, other catalysts (note, 5 ml of water was used to dissolve the catalysts in case they are solids) were added after 20 minutes of argon bubbling. Other conditions were the same as described in Examples 11-12.
- The amounts of polymers attached were presented in the amount of S % gain, and the dynamic binding capacities for lysozyme (Ly) and γ-globulin (Gl) were listed in Table 5 below:

Polymerization started from the surface thiol radicals.
- In the case of example 23, V-50 initiator, an azo initiator, was used and the reaction followed at high temperature after the radicals were generated from the breakage of the nitrogen-carbon bond. The thiol radicals were generated by hydrogen abstraction of the surface thiol groups by the radicals formed. Thus, the polymerization started from the surface thiol radicals.

- While the specification has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments thereof, it will be appreciated that those skilled in the art, upon attaining an understanding of the foregoing, may readily conceive of alterations to, variations of, and equivalents to these embodiments. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be assessed as that of the appended claims and any equivalents thereto.
