  • Patent number: 7903780
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for ablating hyaluronan-based hydrogels with X-rays, the method comprising the steps of: (a) preparing hyaluronan-based hydrogels; and (b) performing X-ray irradiation to the hyaluronan-based hydrogels to induce a degradation of the hyaluronan-based hydrogels by a gel-to-sol transition during the X-ray irradiation. Disclosed is also a method for fabricating three-dimensional microchannels of hyaluronan hydrogels with a finely tunable X-ray ablation technique.

  • Patent number: 7816316
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide completely biodegradable and biocompatible sustained-release carriers for proteins or peptides, which allow encapsulation of the proteins or peptides at high encapsulation rates without inhibiting their biological activity. The present invention provides a method for preparing a sustained-release carrier, wherein in a solution in the presence of a protein or a peptide, a hyaluronic acid derivative having an unsaturated bond(s) or a mercapto group(s) introduced into hyaluronic acid is chemically crosslinked with a mercapto group-containing compound or an unsaturated bond-containing compound, respectively, to give a hydrogel. The method of the present invention enables efficient encapsulation of proteins or peptides while retaining their biological activity.

  • Publication number: 20100210509
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel bioconjugation protocol for peptide suitable for in vivo applications. Bioconjugation of the peptide to HA derivative increases its half life in circulation contributing for a high efficacy. More over, conjugate of HA derivative and peptide which is treated with hyaluronidase shows increased bioactivity. And also, in contrast to PEGylation, HA derivative can be conjugated with many numbers of peptide molecules per single HA derivative chain, which enables multiple action of peptide drugs.
