Modification chimique de biomatériaux à base de polyesters dégradables : du modèle en solution à l'application en surface / Chemical modification of biomaterials based on degradable polyesters : from model in solution to surface applicationsEl-Habnouni, Sarah 09 December 2011 (has links)
Les polyesters aliphatiques dégradables tels que la poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), le poly(glycolide) (PGA) ou le poly(lactide) (PLA) présentent de nombreuses applications dans le domaine biomédical. Lors de leur utilisation comme implant, le contrôle des propriétés de surface des polyesters est d'un intérêt considérable. En effet, les interactions avec le milieu vivant ont lieu aux interfaces. Ce travail de thèse vise donc le développement d'une méthode simple et généralisable de couplage de petites molécules, macromolécules et biomolécules sur des surfaces de PLA, en évitant sa dégradation. Cette méthode est basée sur une stratégie en deux étapes, initialement développée en solution sur la PCL et comprenant une activation anionique dans des conditions spécifiques, suivie de la fonctionnalisation par un groupe propargyle afin d'obtenir une surface de PLA « clickable ». Cette méthodologie a ensuite été utilisée pour synthétiser des surfaces de PLA (bio)actives anti-bactériennes et visibles en IRM. Les stratégies ont été initialement développées et optimisées en milieu homogène avec la PCL. Ensuite, les surfaces de PLA ont été modifiées, en milieu hétérogène, par CUAAC de poly(ammonium quaternaire)s fonctionnalisés azoture et d'un complexe de gadolinium fonctionnalisé azoture. / Biodegradable aliphatic polyesters such as poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(glycolide) (PGA) or poly(lactide) (PLA) are widely used in biomedical applications. When employed as an implantable material, the control of the surface properties of polyesters is of great interest because biochemical reactions occur on the surface or at interfaces. This work proposes a simple and versatile method to immobilize simple molecules, macromolecules, and biomolecules on PLA surfaces while preventing polymer degradation. The method is based on a one-pot, two-step procedure, first developed in solution with PCL and comprises an anionic activation under selected conditions followed by propargylation to form a ¡°clickable¡± PLA surface. This methodology is then employed to generate bioactive surfaces, namely antibacterial PLA surfaces and MRI-visible PLA surfaces. In a first place, chemical strategies are developed and optimized in homogeneous systems using PCL. Subsequently, PLA surfaces are modified, under heterogeneous conditions, by grafting of well-defined ¦Á-azido-functionalized poly(quaternary ammonium)s and an ¦Á-azido-functionalized complex of gadolinium to the propargylated PLA surface using "click" chemistry.

Aplicação do poli(ε-caprolactona) com estrutura estrelada para obtenção de microesferas biorreabsorvíveis / Aplication of star-shaped poly(epsilon-caprolactone) to prepare bioreabsorbable microspheresCunha, Tatiana Franco da 25 May 2012 (has links)
O poli(ε-caprolactona) (PCL) é um polímero biocompatível e biodegradável, aprovado pelo Food and Drug Administration (FDA) para ser usado como biomaterial. Diversos estudos utilizando sua forma linear ou ramificada têm demonstrado resultados promissores para seu uso no desenvolvimento de dispositivos médicos e em aplicações na área farmacêutica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi utilizar o PCL com estrutura estrelada (PCLE) para obter microesferas biorreabsorvíveis. Primeiramente realizou-se a avaliação das propriedades físico-químicas do PCLE por meio da cromatografia de permeação em gel (GPC), ressonância magnética de prótons (1H-RMN) e carbono (13C-RMN), calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC) e espectrometria por infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FT-IR). A avaliação toxicológica do PCLE foi obtida por meio do ensaio de citotoxicidade utilizando células CHO-K1 e o corante vital 5-(3-carboximethoxifenil)-2-(4,5-dimetiltiazolil)-3-(4-sulfofenil) tetrazolium e do acoplador de elétrons fenazine metilssulfato (MTS/PMS). O ensaio de biodegradação foi conduzido em pH 7,4 na presença de lipase a 37 ºC. Após essas análises o PCLE foi utilizado para preparação de esferas por meio de emulsão complexa A/O/A. O PCLE foi caracterizado como um polímero de baixa massa molar, com dispersão de tamanho unimodal e cerca de 68,8 % de suas moléculas apresentaram estrutura estrelada com três braços. Em relação às propriedades térmicas o PCLE apresentou temperatura de fusão de 57,3 ºC e temperatura de transição vítrea de -54,3 ºC. A avaliação da citotoxicidade mostrou que o extrato de PCLE é compatível com o metabolismo celular. As microesferas obtidas a partir do PCLE, por emulsão A/O/A apresentaram polidispersão de tamanho. / The poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer which has been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many studies that are using its linear or branched form have showed promising results for medical devices and controlled drug delivery applications. The aim of this research was the use of star-shaped PCL (PCLE) to prepare bioreabsorbable microspheres. At first, the physical-chemical properties were characterized by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Protons Resonance Magnetic Nuclear (1H-RMN), Carbon Resonance Magnetic Nuclear (13C-RMN), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The toxicological property was investigated by colorimetric assay using CHO-K1 cells and the vital dye (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) (MTS) and the electron acceptor phenazine methosulfate (PMS). The biodegradation behavior was evaluated in the presence of lipase at 37 ºC and pH 7.4. The microspheres were prepared by complex emulsion W/O/W. The PCLE was characterized as low molecular weight polymer with monomodal distribution and about 68,8 % of the molecules were three-arm branched. The melting and glass transition temperatures were 57.3 ºC and -54.3 ºC, respectively. The cytotoxicity evaluation showed that PCLE extract was cell compatible. The obtained microspheres showed diameter polydispersity.

Morfologia e biodegradação de compósitos de poli(ε-caprolactona) com fibra de coco verde / Morphology and biodegradation of poly(ε-caprolactone) with green cooconut fiber composites.Monalisa Cristina Gomes da Silva 15 July 2009 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Neste trabalho foram analisadas a morfologia e a biodegradação de compósitos de poli(ε-caprolactona) com fibras provenientes da casca de coco verde. Parte destas fibras foi submetida à modificação química por meio da reação de acetilação. A avaliação da morfologia foi realizada nas amostras de poli(ε-caprolactona) puro e seus compósitos antes e após o teste de biodegradação. O teste de biodegradação foi feito pelo enterro das amostras em solo simulado por períodos distintos, variando de vinte a trinta semanas, seguindo a Norma ASTM G 160 03. Após cada período de teste, as amostras foram retiradas do solo e analisadas por microscopia ótica (MO), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), microscopia de força atômica (AFM), calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC), difratômetro de raios X (DRX) e ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) de baixo campo no estado sólido. Pelas análises, foram verificados perda de massa, alteração morfológica da superfície e variação no percentual de cristalinidade das amostras. O PCL e os compósitos sofreram biodegradabilidade e a presença das fibras retarda ligeiramente esse processo / In this work the morphology and the biodegradation of composites of poly(ε-caprolactone) with fiber from green coconut were analyzed. Part of these fibers was submitted to chemical modification by acetylation reaction. The morphology study of poli(ε-caprolactone) pure and its composites was carried out before and after the biodegradation test. The biodegradation test was carried out by burying the samples in simulated soil for different durations, varying from twenty to thirty weeks, following the ASTM standard G 160 - 03. After each duration test, the samples were taken out of soil and analyzed by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and solid state low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The results showed that the samples loses mass, some morphological modification of the surface and variation in the percentage of crystallinity. PCL and the composites has suffered biodegradation and the fibers presence causes a retardance of this process

Avaliação da biodegradabilidade de misturas poliméricas de policarbonato/poli(-caprolactona) em solo simulado / Evaluation of polycarbonate/poly(caprolactone) polymer blends in simulated soilFelicia Miranda de Jesus 09 July 2007 (has links)
Neste estudo foram avaliadas amostras de misturas poliméricas de Policarbonato (PC) e Poli--caprolactona (PCL) em diferentes concentrações após enterro em solo preparado, por períodos variando de uma a doze semanas, seguindo a Norma ASTM G 160 - 03. As amostras, após ficarem enterradas, foram retiradas do solo e analisadas por calorimetria diferencial de varredura (DSC), análise termogravimétrica (TGA), microscopia ótica (MO), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e espectrometria de absorção na região do infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR). Foi observado através de avaliação morfológica que houve degradação nas amostras de PCL puro e na mistura PC/PCL (60/40). Para misturas com menores teores de PCL a degradação não foi significativa no tempo de avaliação sugerido pela norma. Após o tempo de 12 semanas em contato com o solo houve uma redução no teor de cristalinidade das amostras tanto de PCL puro quanto da mistura PC/PCL com 40% de PCL. As variações ocorridas devido à biodegradabilidade não foram suficientes para acarretar perda de resistência térmica nas amostras. Verificou-se que para avaliar a biodegradabilidade de misturas contendo o polímero biodegradável PCL, é necessária uma adaptação da Norma utilizada, aumentando o tempo de enterro das amostras / In this study samples of polycarbonate (PC) and poly(- caprolactone (PCL) blends were evaluated in different concentrations after being buried under simulation soil condition, for periods varying from one to twelve weeks, following ASTM G 160 03 methodology. The samples, after being buried, were removed from the soil and analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), termogravimetric analysis (TGA), optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It was observed by morphological evaluation that pure PCL and PC/PCL (60/40) blend have suffered degradation. Blends with lower content of PCL did not shown significant degradation during the period of time suggested at the ASTM methodology. After 12 weeks in contact with soil, pure PCL and PC/PCL blend with 40% of PCL, had a decrease in crystalinity content. The variations in the samples due to biodegradability have not been enough to cause loss of thermal resistance in any of the tested samples. It was verified that to evaluate biodegradability of blends containing biodegradable polymer PCL, it is necessary an adaptation of the ASTM methodology, increasing the time of samples burial

Élaboration de nanoparticules contenant l’alendronate de sodium pour une application en ostéoporose / Elaboration of nanoparticles loaded with alendronate sodium for osteoporosis treatmentMiladi, Karim 27 November 2015 (has links)
L'ostéoporose est la maladie métabolique la plus fréquente qui touche l'os. Plusieurs substances actives sont utilisées pour le traitement pharmacologique de cette maladie. Cependant, ce sont les bisphosphonates et surtout l'alendronate de sodium, qui sont prescrits en première intention. L'alendronate de sodium est, en effet, très efficace mais présente une faible absorption quand il est administré par la voie orale. Sa solubilité dans l'eau est de 20 mg/ml. Il présente en outre une faible biodisponibilité (de 0,6 à 0,7%). Cette substance active est aussi à l'origine d'effets indésirables d'irritation au niveau de l'oesophage, l'estomac et l'intestin. Ces effets sont dus à un contact local des cristaux de la substance active avec la muqueuse. L'approche d'encapsulation des substances actives dans des particules polymériques a permis d'obtenir plusieurs bénéfices thérapeutiques comme l'amélioration de la biodisponibilité et la diminution des effets indésirables. Dans la première partie de notre étude, on a réalisé l'encapsulation de l'alendronate dans des nanoparticules à base de poly-epsilon-caprolactone en utilisant la nanoprécipitation et l'émulsion double. Les nanoparticules obtenues ont une forme sphérique et une taille comprise entre 200 et 450 nm. Le meilleur pourcentage d'encapsulation a été de 34% et il a été obtenu avec la technique d'émulsion double. Ceci confirme que cette méthode est plus adaptée à l'encapsulation des molécules hydrophiles. Le profil de libération in vitro a montré deux phases : une première phase de libération relativement rapide et une deuxième phase beaucoup plus lente. L'analyse par modélisation mathématique a montré que la libération in vitro de l'alendronate se fait par diffusion et relâchement des chaines polymériques / Osteoporosis is the most frequent metabolic disease that affects bone. Many actives have been used as pharmacological treatment of this disease. However, bisphosphonates, especially, alendronate sodium, are indicated as first line regimen. Alendronate is highly efficient but presents low absorption after oral administration. Its solubility in water is 20 mg/ml. It has also poor bioavailability (0.6-0.7%). In addition, this active could lead to many side effects, which are mainly related to the esophagus, the stomach and the intestine. Such effects are linked to a local contact of drug crystals with the mucosa. Encapsulation of active molecules allowed the obtaining of many advantages over conventional pharmaceutical forms such as, bioavailability and tolerance enhancement. In the first part of our study, we managed to encapsulate alendronate sodium in poly-epsilon-caprolactone nanoparticles via two techniques: nanoprecipitation and double emulsion. Obtained nanoparticles presented a spherical form. Their size ranged between 200 and 450 nm. The highest encapsulation efficiency value was 34% and was obtained via double emulsion technique. This confirms that double emulsion is more suitable for hydrophilic drugs encapsulation. In vitro release profile showed two phases: first phase of burst release and a second more prolonged phase. Mathematical modeling showed that alendronate in vitro release occurs by drug diffusion and polymer chain relaxation. In the second experimental part, we managed to find a more interesting alternative. In fact, we opted for the use of chitosan which is a natural hydrophilic polymer. One of the obtained advantages is the avoidance of organic solvents use. In addition, this approach allowed the enhancement of encapsulation efficiency as this value increased to 70%. The used technique is ionic gelation. It is a simple encapsulation technique that is based on the transformation of a dissolved polymer to a gel-like state

Copolímeros estatísticos biodegradáveis de epsilon-caprolactona e L,L-dilactídeo - síntese, caracterização e propriedades. / Biodegradable statistical copolimers of epsilon-caprolactone e L,L-lactide - synthesis, caracterization and properties.Castro, Maria Leonora de 07 April 2006 (has links)
Copolímeros de e-caprolactona e l,l-dilactídeo têm sido investigados com a finalidade de desenvolver materiais biodegradáveis para aplicações médicas. As sínteses dos homopolímeros e copolímeros de epsilon-caprolactona e l,l-dilactídeo por abertura de anel e polimerização em massa transcorreram a 120oC sob atmosfera de nitrogênio, usando o octanoato de estanho como iniciador. A composição dos copolímeros variou de 5,90% a 97,30% em massa de l,l-dilactídeo. As massas molares dos polímeros sintetizados foram determinadas por viscosimetria capilar e cromatografia de permeação em gel (GPC). A composição dos copolímeros foi determinada por RMN de 13C. As propriedades térmicas e mecânicas foram avaliadas por DSC e DMTA. O grau de cristalinidade e as fases cristalinas dos copolímeros foram determinados por difração de raios X (WAXS). Foram observadas altas taxas de conversão de monômeros para os homopolímeros e para os copolímeros Co60 ao Co90 (taxas de 70-80%). Os homopolímeros e copolímeros sintetizados apresentaram altas massas molares (M w até 106.500 g/mol para os copolímeros) e moderada polidispersidade (1,50). As análises de RMN de 13C demonstraram a predominância da formação de copolímeros estatísticos e a ausência da transesterificação durante a polimerização em massa. As propriedades dinâmico-mecânicas foram fortemente dependentes da estrutura cristalina e do grau de cristalinidade dos copolímeros. Os copolímeros sintetizados apresentaram propriedades mecânicas variando do flexível ao rígido termoplástico. Os copolímeros com composição próxima a equimolar (Co30 ao Co40) apresentaram os mais baixos graus de cristalinidade (13 a 15%) e, por conseqüência, apresentaram maior taxa de degradação (20% em 408 horas para o Co40), em comparação com os demais copolímeros. / Copolymers of epsilon-caprolactone with l,l-lactide have been investigated in order to develop biodegradable materials for medical applications. The synthesis of homopolymers and copolymers of e-caprolactone with l,l-lactide by ring-opening bulk polymerization was performed using stannous octoate as initiator at 120 ºC under nitrogen atmosphere. The copolymers composition was varied from 5.90 to 97.30 % in mass of l,l-lactide. The molecular weight of synthesized polymers were determined by viscometry and GPC. The copolymers composition was determined by 13C NMR. Thermal and mechanical properties have been evaluated by DSC and DMTA. The degree of crystallinity and the crystalline phase of copolymers were determined by WAXS. High conversion was observed for homopolymers and copolymers Co60 to Co90 of l,l-lactide (70-80%). The homopolymers and copolymers presented hight molecular weight (M w up to 106,500 g/mol for copolymers) and low polydispersivity (1,50). The analyses by 13C- NMR spectroscopy have shown the predominance of statistical copolymers formation and the transesterification reaction did not occur during the bulk polymerization. Thermal and mechanical properties were dependent on the crystalline phase and of the degree of crystallinity. The synthesized copolymers presented mechanical properties from rubbery to stiff thermoplastics. The copolymers with equimolar composition presented low degree of crystallinity (13 ? 15%) and higher degradation (20% during 408 hours for Co40).

Synthèse, caractérisation et intérêt biomédical de (glyco)copolymères amphiphiles, <br />biocompatibles et bioéliminables, de différentes architecturesJutta, Rieger 28 April 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Ce travail a pour objectif principal la modification de la surface de nanoparticules de polymères par de nouveaux copolymères amphiphiles et biocompatibles, possédant différentes architectures. Les copolymères considérés dans cette étude sont composés d'une chaine hydrophile de poly(oxyde d'éthylène) (POE) et d'une chaîne hydrophobe à base de poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL).<br />A partir d'un POE coiffé par une unité ε-caprolactone et par un groupement méthoxy à ses extrémités α et ω, respectivement, (γPOE.CL), des copolymères amphiphiles greffés, PCL-g-POE, et un copolymère ternaire possédant une architecture en étoile ont été synthétisés. Des copolymères diblocs, POE-b-PCL, ont également été préparés. <br />Les copolymères diblocs et greffés de POE et PCL, tensioactifs, ont été utilisés pour stabiliser et modifier la surface de nanoparticles polymères (NP), vecteurs potentiels pour la délivrance de principes actifs. L'effet des propriétés des copolymères (architecture, composition et quantité) sur la formation et la structure des nanoparticules, a été examiné. De plus, l'activation du complément, c.-à.-d. la furtivité des nanoparticules, en fonction de la composition et de l'architecture du copolymère utilisé a été étudiée.<br />Un autre défi relevé dans ce travail est la fonctionnalisation de la surface de nanoparticules pas des motifs mannose afin de cibler des cellules dendritiques. A cet effet, des dérivés du mannose ont été fixés de manière covalente à l'extrémité de la poly(ε-caprolactone) et de copolymères diblocs POE-b-PCL. Ces derniers ont été utilisés avec succès pour modifier la surface de nanoparticules de polylactide.

Synthèse et étude des propriétés d'un polyuréthane biosourcé obtenu du caoutchouc naturel et du poly(ε-caprolactone)Panwiriyarat, Wannarat 18 December 2012 (has links) (PDF)
L'objectif de ce travail de thèse était la synthèse d'un nouveau matériau polyuréthane biorsourcé composé par du caoutchouc naturel modifié chimiquement et par du poly(ε-caprolactone), (PCL), en présence ou absence d'isocyanates. Des oligoisoprènes téléchéliques hydroxylés (HTNR) ont été obtenus après époxidation du caoutchouc naturel et réduction des oligomères carbonyles. Plusieurs paramètres ont été étudiés comme la nature et la quantité relative de diisocyanate, le rapport molaire entre diisocyanate et diol (NCO:OH), l'influence de la masse molaire des diols HTNR et PCL, le pourcentage de 1,4-butane diol (BDO, extenseur de chaîne), et le rapport molaire entre les diols HTNR:PCL. Trois types de diisocyanate ont été employés : isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), toluène-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) et hexaméthylène diisocyanate (HDI). Masses molaires différentes ont été utilisées pour les diols HTNR et PCL: 1700, 2800 et 2900 g/mol pour HTNR et 530 et 2000 g/mol pour PCL. Le rapport molaire entre NCO:OH était entre 0,75:1,00 - 2,85:1,00. Les PU ont été préparés par la méthode " one shot " et les structures chimiques des HTNR et PU ont été identifiées par 1H-NMR et FTIR. La résistance à la traction et à la rupture ont été étudiées. La caractérisation a été conduite par DSC, DMTA, ATG et spectroscopie Raman. Une étude préliminaire a montré que la masse molaire du PU augmentait avec le rapport NCO:OH et le temps de réaction, et que le chloroforme n'était pas un bon solvant pour obtenir des films. Le tetrahydrofurane était le solvant le plus approprié et il a été utilisé par la suite pour toutes les polymérisations. Le rapport NCO:OH = 1,25:1,00 s'est révélé optimal pour obtenir des films. L'analyse FTIR a permis de vérifier la présence de liaisons uréthane, de points de réticulation et de branchements. Le polyuréthane a montré des propriétés mécaniques excellentes dépendantes de la composition chimique. Si on exclue l'utilisation de PCL2000 et de HDI, le comportement à la traction était caractéristique des élastomères. Les PU étaient amorphes sauf lorsque le HDI a été employé. Duos ce cos été obtenais un PU semi cristallin. Cette cristallinité augmente le module de Young, la résistance à la rupture, la dureté et la stabilité thermique du PU. Pour ce PU ont observé une séparation de phase entre les segments du PCL et du HTNR. Les chaînes plus longues et plus flexibles du HTNR et leur non polarité sont responsables de la diminution des propriétés mécaniques et des températures de transition. Le materiae pane d'un comportement élastomère a un comportement plastique pour un rapport NCO:OH élevé (2,85 :1,00). Le dégréé de réticulation élevé a été retenu comme la cause pour laquelle il n'y avait pas de séparation de phase entre les segments souples et durs. La liaison hydrogène entre le diol PCL et le segment hard a généré des Tg élevées. Les spectres Raman ont montré la formation de la liaison uréthane du PU contenant différents diisocyanates. La synthèse de PU sans diisocyanate a été obtenue grâce à une réaction de polyaddition entre des carbonates cycliques téléchéliques dérivés du PCL et du caoutchouc naturel, et la 1,4-butylène diamine. Les structures contenant des carbonates cycliques ont été obtenues grâce à la modification des groupes OH sur le HTNR et le PCL à groupes carboxyle, utilisant l'anhydride succinique, et a la réaction successive avec le glycérol carbonate.

Silica-Supported Organic Catalysts For The Synthesis Of Biodegradable PolymersWilson, Benn Charles 06 December 2004 (has links)
Aliphatic polyesters such as polycaprolactone and polylactide have received more attention in recent years for their use in biomedical applications because of their biodegradable nature. These polymers are often synthesized using homogeneous metal complexes. Unfortunately, using homogeneous metals as catalysts leads to metal contamination in the product polymer, a result which is highly undesirable in a polymer intended for biomedical use.
More recent work has shown that these polymers can be synthesized using homogeneous metal-free complexes. These catatlysts are generally less active than metal catalysts, and although they do not contaminate the polymer with metal residue, they are still difficult to recover and hence recycle for further use.
In this work, we attempted to create a metal-free, silica-supported catalyst for use in the synthesis of polycaprolactone or polylactide.
Ultimately, n-propylsulfonic acid-functionalized porous and nonporous silica materials are evaluated in the ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone. All catalysts allow for the controlled polymerization of the monomer, producing polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersities. Polymerization rates are low, with site-time-yields generally one to three orders of magnitude lower than metal-based systems. The catalysts are easily recovered from the polymerization solution after use and are shown to contain significant residual adsorbed polymer. Solvent extraction techniques are useful for removing most of the polymer, although the extracted solids are not effective catalysts in recycle experiments. These new materials represent a green alternative to traditional metal-based catalysts, as they are recoverable and leave no metal residues in the polymer.
