Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods for sulfonation of hyaluronic acid. The present disclosure provides sulfonated hyaluronic acid, and compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, comprising the sulfonated hyaluronic acid. The present disclosure provides implantable materials and drug delivery compositions comprising a subject sulfonated hyaluronic acid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix comprising a sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer comprising a sulfonate-containing moiety coupled to a reactive aldehyde group of an oxidized hyaluronic acid, wherein the sulfonate-containing moiety is selected from the group consisting of: 3-oxopropane-1-sulfonate, 2-aminoethanesulfonate, and 2-aminoethyl hydrogen sulfate.

2. An implantable sulfonated hyaluronic acid material comprising:
a) a sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix according to claim 1 ; and
b) a living cell and/or an active agent.

3. The implantable sulfonated hyaluronic acid material of claim 2 , wherein the living cell is a stem cell, a neural cell, a neural progenitor cell, a muscle cell, a muscle progenitor cell, a skin cell, an endothelial cell, or an epithelial cell.

4. A sulfonated hyaluronic acid drug delivery composition comprising:
a) a sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix according to claim 1 ; and
b) an active agent associated with, embedded with, or encapsulated within, the sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix.

5. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has a sulfonate:disaccharide ratio of 1 or less.

6. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has a sulfonate:disaccharide ratio of 0.5 or less.

7. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has a sulfonate:disaccharide ratio of 0.1 or less.

8. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has an in vivo half-life of 8 hours or more.

9. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has an in vivo half-life of 10 hours or more.

10. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has an in vivo half-life of 12 hours or more.

11. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has a molecular weight of 100 kDa or more.

12. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has a molecular weight of 400 kDa or more.

13. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer has a molecular weight of 800 kDa or more.

14. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , comprising one or more additional moieties selected from a crosslinker, a polypeptide, a label, and a drug.

15. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , comprising a polypeptide conjugated to the sulfonated hyaluronic acid polymer.

16. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 15 , wherein the polypeptide has a molecular weight of from 1 kDa to about 2000 kDa.

17. The sulfonated hyaluronic acid matrix of claim 1 , wherein the oxidized hyaluronic acid comprises a D-glucuronic acid ring that is cleaved to form two reactive aldehyde groups.
