Bioadhesive materials are extensively utilized as alternatives to surgical sutures and wound dressings. Despite significant advancements in their synthesis, current bioadhesives suffer from inadequate mechanical stability, suboptimal wet tissue adhesion, and a lack of inherent antibacterial and antioxidant properties, while requiring multistep synthesis processes, complicating their production for biomedical applications. To address these limitations, we developed a new bioadhesive, named UgiGel, synthesized through a one-pot Ugi four-component reaction (Ugi-4CR). Our strategy utilized gelatin as the backbone, 4-formylphenylboronic acid (4-FPBA) as an aldehyde source for improved adhesion and antibacterial activity, gallic acid (GA) as a carboxylic acid source for improved antioxidant activity and wound healing, and cyclohexyl isocyanide (CyIso) to induce pseudopeptide structures. The internal crosslinking between GA and 4-FPBA via dynamic boronate ester bond formation, triggered by slight pH changes (7.4-7.8) and temperature elevation (25°C-40°C), resulted in the formation of viscoelastic and self-healing hydrogels with water as the only byproduct without the need for initiator/light activation. UgiGel showed higher adhesion to porcine skin tissue (139.8 ± 8.7 kPa) as compared to commercially available bioadhesives, Evicel (26.3 ± 2.6 kPa) and Coseal (19.3 ± 9.9 kPa). It also demonstrated effective antibacterial properties against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as well as antioxidant activity. Additionally, the in vitro studies using NIH-3T3 cells confirmed the biocompatibility of the UgiGel over 7 days of culture. Moreover, in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradation of UgiGel were confirmed via subcutaneous implantation in rats for up to 28 days. Our results demonstrated that UgiGel outperformed commercially available bioadhesives in terms of adhesion, self-healing, and antibacterial activity, without compromising biocompatibility or physical properties, representing a promising multifunctional bioadhesive for wound sealing and repair.
生物粘附材料被广泛用作手术缝线和伤口敷料的替代品。尽管它们在合成方面取得了重大进展,但目前的生物粘合剂仍存在机械稳定性不足、湿组织粘附性欠佳以及缺乏固有的抗菌和抗氧化性能等问题,同时还需要多步合成过程,这使得它们在生物医学应用中的生产变得复杂。为了解决这些局限性,我们开发了一种名为UgiGel的新型生物粘合剂,它是通过一锅法Ugi四组分反应(Ugi-4CR)合成的。我们的策略是以明胶为骨架,4-甲酰基苯硼酸(4-FPBA)作为醛源以提高粘附性和抗菌活性,没食子酸(GA)作为羧酸源以提高抗氧化活性和促进伤口愈合,以及环己基异氰化物(CyIso)来诱导假肽结构。GA和4-FPBA之间通过动态硼酸酯键形成的内部交联,由轻微的pH变化(7.4 - 7.8)和温度升高(25°C - 40°C)触发,导致形成具有粘弹性和自愈性的水凝胶,水是唯一的副产物,无需引发剂/光活化。与市售生物粘合剂Evicel(26.3±2.6 kPa)和Coseal(19.3±9.9 kPa)相比,UgiGel对猪皮肤组织的粘附力更高(139.8±8.7 kPa)。它还对革兰氏阴性菌和革兰氏阳性菌均表现出有效的抗菌性能以及抗氧化活性。此外,使用NIH-3T3细胞进行的体外研究证实了UgiGel在7天培养期内的生物相容性。此外,通过在大鼠皮下植入长达28天,证实了UgiGel的体内生物相容性和生物降解性。我们的结果表明,UgiGel在粘附性、自愈性和抗菌活性方面优于市售生物粘合剂,同时不影响生物相容性或物理性能,是一种用于伤口封闭和修复很有前景的多功能生物粘合剂。
