Definitions

• the invention relates to composite materials made of nanoparticulate, sparingly water-soluble calcium salts and protein components, which due to their composition and fine structure are particularly suitable for promoting the restoration of bones and tooth enamel.
• Phosphate salts of calcium have long been added to the formulations of dentifrices and dentifrices both as abrasive components and to promote the remineralization of tooth enamel. This applies in particular to hydroxyapatite and fluorapatite as well as to amorphous calcium phosphates and brushite (dicalcium phosphate dihydrate). Calcium fluoride has also been described several times as a component of tooth cleaning agents and as a component for strengthening the tooth enamel and for preventing caries.
• the tooth enamel and the supporting tissue of the bones mainly consist of the mineral hydroxyapatite.
• hydroxyapatite attaches in an orderly manner to the protein matrix in the bone or tooth, which mainly consists of collagen.
• the formation of the hard and resilient mineral structures is controlled by the so-called matrix proteins, which in addition to collagen are formed by other proteins that attach to the collagen and thus cause a structured mineralization process, which is also referred to as biomineralization.
• matrix proteins which in addition to collagen are formed by other proteins that attach to the collagen and thus cause a structured mineralization process, which is also referred to as biomineralization.
• So-called bone substitutes which promote the natural biomineralization process, play an important role in the restoration of bone material.
• Such means are also required for coating implants in order to achieve cohesive connections between the bone and the implant, with which tensile forces can also be transmitted.
• Liquid injectable bone substitute materials are required for certain applications. A particularly small particle size is required here, but this cannot be achieved satisfactorily with the conventional bone substitutes.
• composites of hydroxyapatite and collagen are of particular interest because they mimic the composition of the natural bone.
• a similar situation applies to the restoration of dental material, which consists of approximately 95% hydroxyapatite.
• Composite materials of the type described are accessible synthetically, such as. B. by B. Flautre et al. in J. Mater. Be .: Mater. In Medicine 7 (1996), 63 described.
• the grain size of the calcium salts in these composites is above 1000 nm, which is too large to achieve a satisfactory biological effect as a remineralizing agent.
• RZ Wang et al., J. Mater. Be. Lett. 14 (1995), 490 a production process for a composite material made of hydroxyapatite and collagen, in which hydroxyapatite with a particle size in the range from 2 to 10 nm is deposited on the collagen matrix in a uniformly distributed form.
• the composite material is said to have a better biological activity than other hydroxyapatite-collagen composites known from the prior art because of the finely divided nature of the hydroxyapatite. As described below, however, that of RZ Wang et al. Composite material described does not sufficiently meet the need for composite materials which mimic the composition and the microstructure of natural bone and tooth material and which are suitable in a completely satisfactory manner for the remineralization of these natural materials.
• Protein-containing composite materials known from the prior art contain proteins of animal origin, in particular those obtained from bovine material. In cosmetics in particular, however, there has been an increasing desire for products that are completely free of ingredients of animal origin. There is therefore a need for such composite materials that do not contain protein components of animal origin.
• the protein-containing composite materials known from the prior art have, for example, due to their insoluble content and / or high molecular weight protein components, have an unfavorable dispersibility and are difficult to incorporate into the formulations required for their commercial use or have unsatisfactory dispersion stability in the preparations used.
• the invention relates to composite materials comprising a) calcium salts which are sparingly soluble in water, selected from phosphates, fluorides and fluorophosphates, which may optionally additionally contain hydroxyl and / or carbonate groups, the calcium salts in the form of nanoparticulate primary particles having an average particle diameter in the range from 10 to 300 nm are present, and b) protein components selected from proteins, protein hydrolyzates and protein hydrolyzate derivatives.
• Composite materials are understood to mean composites which comprise the components mentioned under a) and b) and which are microscopically heterogeneous, macroscopically but homogeneous aggregates and in which the primary particles of the calcium salts are associated with the structure of the protein component.
• the proportion of protein components in the composite materials between 0.1 and 60% by weight, but preferably between 0.5 and 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the composite materials.
• Primary particles are understood to mean the crystallites, ie the individual crystals of the calcium salts mentioned.
• the diameter should be the particle diameter here the particles can be understood in the direction of their greatest length extension.
• the mean particle diameter is to be understood as a value averaged over the total amount of the composite.
• the determination of the particle diameter can be determined by methods familiar to the person skilled in the art, for example by the method of transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
• TEM transmission electron microscopy
• the average particle diameter of the nanoparticulate primary particles is preferably in the range from 10 to 150 nm, and particularly preferably they are in the form of rod-shaped particles with a thickness in the range from 2 to 50 nm and a length in the range from 10 to 150 nm to understand the smallest diameter of the rods, by length their largest diameter.
• the spatial structure of the composite materials according to the invention consisting of a protein component and the sparingly soluble nanoparticulate calcium salts, can be seen from the example of the TEM image of a composite material made of hydroxylapatite and gelatin type A, shown in FIG. 1 (200,000 times magnification; 1 cm in the figure corresponds to 40 nm).
• the high molecular weight protein component which takes on a three-dimensional structure essentially determined by its amino acid sequence, is supported by the rod-shaped nanoparticles made of hydroxyapatite, so the nanoparticles to a certain extent depict the spatial structure of the protein component.
• Figure 2 shows a TEM image of the type A gelatin framework of the same composite material after the hydroxylapatite has been removed by means of a solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetate (magnification 56,000 times; 1.1 cm in the figure corresponds to 200 nm).
• the manner in which the inorganic particles attach to the basic structure of the protein component is determined by the primary structure (amino acid sequence) and, depending on the nature of the protein component, by its secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure.
• the spatial distribution and the quantitative extent of the attachment of the inorganic nanoparticles on the protein component can be influenced by the type and amount of the amino acids present in the protein component and thus by the selection of the protein components. For example, by selecting protein components that are rich in amino acids, aspartic acid, glutamic acid or cysteine, a particularly high loading with the poorly soluble calcium salt can be achieved. Depending on the spatial distribution of these amino acids in the protein structure, a spatially structured loading of the protein component with the poorly soluble calcium salt can also be achieved.
• the composite materials according to the invention are thus structured composite materials in contrast to the one described by R. Z. Wang et al. Composite of hydroxyapatite and collagen described, in which evenly distributed hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are present.
• Another major difference between the subject matter of the present invention and the prior art is the size and morphology of the inorganic component.
• the in the by R. Z. Wang et al. Hydroxyapatite particles described have a size of 2-10 nm. Hydroxyapatite particles in this size range belong to the range of amorphous or partially X-ray amorphous substances.
• the present invention succeeded in producing composite materials with crystalline inorganic nanoparticles in which the nanoparticles have a crystalline morphology which is clearly visible under the microscope.
• Figure 1 shows the rod-shaped structure of the inorganic nanoparticles.
• the structured composite materials according to the invention in contrast to the prior art, lead to a particularly effective biomineralization process. This is believed to be related to the microstructure of the composite material and in particular the size and morphology of the calcium salt crystals. It is assumed that the longitudinal axis of the calcium salt Nanoparticles are a preferred direction for further crystal growth during biomineralization.
• Salts which are sparingly soluble in water are understood to be those which are less than 1 g / l soluble at 20 ° C.
• Calcium salts which are preferably suitable are calcium hydroxyphosphate (Ca 5 [OH (PO- ⁇ ) 3]) or hydroxyapatite,

• One or more salts in the mixture selected from the group of phosphates, fluorides and fluorophosphates, which may optionally additionally contain hydroxyl and / or carbonate groups, may be present in the mixture as the calcium salt in the composite materials according to the invention.

• the less degraded protein hydrolyzates include, for example, the gelatin preferred in the context of the present invention, which can have molar masses in the range from 15,000 to 250,000 D.
• Gelatin is a polypeptide that is obtained primarily by hydrolysis of collagen under acidic (gelatin type A) or alkaline (gelatin type B) conditions.
• the gel strength of the gelatin is proportional to its molecular weight, ie a more hydrolyzed gelatin gives a lower viscous solution.
• the gel strength of the gelatin is given in Bloom numbers. When the gelatin is cleaved enzymatically, the polymer size is greatly reduced, which leads to very low Bloom numbers.
• protein hydrolyzates which are customary in cosmetics and have an average molecular weight in the range from 600 to 4000, particularly preferably from 2000 to 3500, are preferred as protein hydrolyzates.

• the surface modification agent is adsorbed onto the surface of the nanoparticles and changes them in such a way that the dispersibility of the calcium salt increases and the agglomeration of the nanoparticles is prevented.
• the structure of the composite materials and the loading of the protein component with the nanoparticulate calcium salt can be influenced by a surface modification. In this way, when using the composite materials in remineralization processes, it is possible to influence the course and speed of the remineralization process.
