Popis: The effect of hydrazide linkers on the formation and mechanical properties of hyaluronan hydrogels was intensively evaluated. The reaction kinetics of hydrazone formation was monitored by NMR spectroscopy under physiological conditions where polyaldehyde hyaluronan (unsaturated: ΔHA-CHO, saturated: HA-CHO) was reacted with various hydrazides to form hydrogels. Linear (adipic, oxalic dihydrazide) and branched (N,N´,N´´-tris(hexanoylhydrazide-6-yl)phosphoric triamide and 4-arm-PEG hydrazide) hydrazides were compared as crosslinking agents. The mechanical properties of hydrogels were also modified by attaching a hydrophobic chain to HA-CHO; however, it was found that this modification did not lead to an increase in hydrogel stiffness. Cytotoxicity tests showed that all tested hydrazide crosslinkers reduced the viability of cells only slightly, and that the final hyaluronan hydrogels were non-toxic materials.
