Abstract
The present technique pertains to a method of preparation of a succinylated collagen-fibrinogen hydrogel and a succinylated collagen-fibrinogen hydrogel prepared thereby. The method of preparation of a succinylated collagen-fibrinogen hydrogel according to the present technique can produce a collagen-based bio-substance in a simple process, wherein collagen can be prevented from being entangled and an improvement can be brought about in hydrophilicity, cell growth rate, cell compatibility, and cell diffusion capability, whereby the collagen-based bio-substance exhibits excellent biocompatibility in vivo.
Claims7
A method of preparing a succinylated collagen-fibrinogen hydrogel, comprising:
- (a) dissolving collagen in a weak acid and adding 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) thereto while stirring;
- (b) adding succinic anhydride to the stirred product at room temperature to mix the succinic anhydride and the stirred product;
- (c) adding NaOH to the mixture to adjust the pH of the mixture to pH 7 to 8 and react the mixture while stirring;
- (d) dialyzing the reaction product and freeze-drying the dialyzed solution to prepare succinylated collagen;
- (e) dissolving the succinylated collagen in deionized water;
- (f) adding N-hydroxysuccinimide and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride dissolved in deionized water to the succinylated collagen dissolved in deionized water while stirring;
- (g) adding fibrinogen dissolved in phosphate buffered saline thereto while stirring;
- (h) dialyzing the stirred product of step (g) to produce a dialyzed solution of succinylated collagen conjugated to fibrinogen and freeze-drying the dialyzed solution of succinylated collagen conjugated to fibrinogen to prepare a succinylated collagen-fibrinogen complex;
- (i) dissolving the collagen-fibrinogen complex in phosphate buffered saline;
- (j) mixing a thrombin solution and a calcium chloride solution dissolved in phosphate buffered saline with the dissolved solution of step (i);
- and
- (k) applying heat to the resulting mixture to gel the mixture.
