The coefficient Mw/ Mnis referred to as thepolydispersity index, and will typically be in the range 1.2 to3.0 for commercial hyaluronan.3.1.4 depolymerization, nreduction in len

Depolymerization mayreduce the polymer chain to smaller molecular weight poly-mers, oligomeric, or monomeric units, or combination thereof.In hyaluronan, acid hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds is theprimary mechanism.3.1.5 degradation, nchange

32、in the chemical structure,physical properties or appearance of a material. Degradation ofpolysaccharides occurs via cleavage of the glycosidic bonds,usually by acid catalyzed hydrolysis. Degradation can alsooccur thermally and by alkali. It is important to note thatdegradation is not synonymous with

33、 decomposition. Degrada-tion is often used as a synonym for depolymerization whenreferring to polymers. Degradation (depolymerization) of hy-aluronan may also occur enzymatically by the action ofhyaluronidases.3.1.6 decomposition, nstructural changes of hyaluronandue to exposure to environmental, ch

This guide can be used as an aid in the selectionand characterization of the appropriate hyaluronan for aparticular application. This guide i

37、s intended to give guidancein the methods and types of testing necessary to properlycharacterize, assess, and ensure consistency in the performanceof a particular hyaluronan. It may have use in the regulation ofthese devices by appropriate authorities.4.2 The hyaluronan covered by this guide may be

38、gelled,cross-linked, extruded, or otherwise formulated into biomedi-cal devices for use in tissue engineered medical products ordrug delivery devices for implantation as determined to beappropriate, based on supporting biocompatibility and physicaltest data. Recommendations in this guide should not

39、beinterpreted as a guarantee of clinical success in any tissueengineered medical product or drug delivery application.4.3 To ensure that the material supplied satisfies require-ments for use in TEMPs, several general areas of characteriza-tion should be considered. These are: identity of hyaluronan,

40、physical and chemical characterization and testing, impuritiesprofile, and performance-related tests.5. Chemical and Physical Test Methods5.1 Identity of HyaluronanThe identity of hyaluronan canbe established by several methods including, but not limited tothe following:5.1.1 Sodium Hyaluronate Mono

41、graph EP 1472.5.1.2 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR)Almost all organic chemical compounds absorb infrared radia-tion at frequencies characteristic for the functional groups inthe compound. A FT-IR spectrum will show absorption bandsrelating to bond stretching and bending and can there

42、fore serveas a unique fingerprint of a specific compound. Direct FT-IRanalysis of hyaluronan powder is perhaps the easiest techniqueto perform. One method utilizes a horizontal attenuated totalreflectance (HATR) accessory with a zinc-selenium (ZnSe)crystal (or equivalent) having a sample trough and

43、a pressureplate. Record background and sample spectra between 4000and 600 cm-1at an appropriate resolution. Label the peaks.Typical frequencies (cm-1) for hyaluronan (sodium salt) are3275-3390 (b), 1615 (s), 1405 (m), 1377 (m), 1150, 1077, 1045(s), 946 (m), 893 (w). The peak designators are: sh: sha

44、rp; s:strong; m: medium; w: weak; b: broad. A typical FT-IR HATRspectrum is shown in Fig. 1. A reference spectrum can beobtained form the European Pharmacopoeia.105.2 Physical and Chemical Characterization of Hyaluro-nan:5.2.1 The composition and sequential structure of hyaluro-nan can be determined

45、 by the following method: High-resolution1H- and13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectros-copy (NMR). Hyaluronan should be dissolved in D2O. If theresulting solution is viscous, viscosity may be reduced bychemical or enzymatic depolymerization. A typical1H-NMRspectrum of hyaluronan is shown below. Hya

46、luronan is char-acterized by calculating parameters such as glucuronic acid:N-acetylglucosamine ratio. Some literature references to thedetermination of composition and structure of hyaluronan aregiven in the References section (1-4).115.2.2 Molecular mass (molecular weight) of hyaluronan willdefine

47、 certain performance characteristics such as viscosity orgel strength, or both. As such and depending on the sensitivityof a particular end use to these variations, determination ofmolecular mass directly or indirectly may be necessary. Com-mercial hyaluronan is polydisperse with respect to molecula

Molecular weights may bedetermined by methods such as, but not limited to the follow-ing:5.2.2.1 Molecular Weight Determination Based on IntrinsicViscosityThe intrinsic viscosity describes a polymers abilityto for
