Abstract:
A method for cleaving amide bonds, comprising: a) providing a molecule comprising an amide group; b) reacting the molecule comprising an amide group with hydroxylamine (NH 2 OH) or a salt thereof to cleave the amide bond of the amide group.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a hydrogel product comprising crosslinked glycosaminoglycan molecules, said method comprising: i) providing a glycosaminoglycan crosslinked by amide bonds, wherein the crosslinked glycosaminoglycans comprise residual amine groups; and ii) acylating residual amine groups of the crosslinked glycosaminoglycans provided in i) to form acylated crosslinked glycosaminoglycans.
Abstract:
a) providing a molecule comprising an amide group; b) reacting the molecule comprising an amide group with a hydroxylamine salt to cleave the amide bond of the amide group.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydrogel product comprising glycosaminoglycan molecules as the swellable polymer, wherein the glycosaminoglycan molecules are covalently crosslinked via crosslinks comprising a spacer group selected from the group consisting of di-, tri-, tetra-, and oligosaccharides.
Abstract:
A method for at least partial deacetylation of a biopolymer comprising acetyl groups, comprising: a1 ) providing a biopolymer comprising acetyl groups; a2) reacting the biopolymer comprising acetyl groups with hydroxylamine (NH 2 OH) or a salt thereof at a temperature of 100 °C or less for 2-200 hours to form an at least partially deacetylated biopolymer; and a3) recovering the at least partially deacetylated biopolymer.
Abstract:
A graft copolymer comprising: a core polymer comprising a crosslinked or non-crosslinked polysaccharide,a plurality of primary graft polymers covalently grafted to the core polymer,a plurality of secondary graft polymers covalently grafted to each primary graft polymer, an injectable dermal aesthetic formulation comprising such a graft copolymer and a method of preparing such a graft copolymer.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a hydrogel product comprising crosslinked glycosaminoglycan molecules, said method comprising: i) providing a glycosaminoglycan crosslinked by amide bonds, wherein the crosslinked glycosaminoglycans comprise ester crosslinks formed as byproducts during the amide crosslinking; and ii) subjecting the crosslinked glycosaminoglycans to alkaline treatment to hydrolyze ester crosslinks formed as byproducts during the amide crosslinking.
