Definitions
- the present invention relates to graft reverse thermal copolymer solutions which show enhanced stability.
- the present invention further relates to water soluble graft reverse thermal copolymer solids which can be used to manufacture the graft reverse thermal copolymer solutions.
- the present invention further relates to the use of these graft reverse thermal copolymer solutions in medical and pharmaceutical applications and in other areas.
- PAA segments are grafted onto a polyether backbone (typically represented by a PEO-PPO-PEO copolymer) via C-C bonding. It is believed that he PEO-PPO-PEO copolymers act as chain transfer agents in polymerization of acrylic acid, when hydrogen abstraction from these polyethers is allowed. The transfer to propagating polymer in acrylic emulsion polymerization is known to be often substantial and leading to a gelled polymer.
- the copolymers of PAA and polyethers resulting from the novel synthetic route possess micelle-forming capability and have been used in topical drug delivery, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products [Ron, E.

Prepr. 1997, 38, 626; Bromberg, L. E., Ron, E. S.
- the polymer formed from grafting the branched polyelectrolyte poly(sodium acrylate) (PAA) to the surface-active triblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b- poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) represents a class of unique new materials that undergo reversible gelation in semidilute (1 wt % and below) aqueous solutions over a narrow temperature range.1-11
- the covalent grafting via C-C bonding results in high molecular weight (above 105 Da) PEO-PPO-PEO-g-PAA polymers with regular short-chain branching" and in Huibers et. al.

- the very nature of the synthesis of Pluronic-PAA resulting in large amounts of poly ether-radicals can cause instability of the copolymers in the presence of atmospheric oxygen.

- significant structural changes were the formation of formate ester and hydroxy end-groups, the former predominating.
- the amount of O 2 incorporation is not a simple function of aging time or temperature and is often dictated by trace impurities and catalysts. For instance, it may be generally affected by the presence of quinones and the like customarily added to the monomer for stability.

- reaction 8 It can be postulated that in simple polyethers, mechanism for formation of ketones and alcohols is a bimolecular termination reaction of ether-peroxy radicals (eq 8). Tertiary per- oxy radicals cannot undergo bimolecular termination via this mechanism; alternative multistep mechanisms still produce alcohols and ketones for tertiary radicals. If the termination shown in eq 8 were the only reaction, the concentration of ketones and alcohols would be equal. Chain scission via a cyclic peroxide intermediate can also be a mechanism for the formation of ketones. Alkoxy radicals, formed from a homolysis reaction of the corresponding hydroperoxides, may also yield secondary alcohols (eq 9a) or aldehydes (eq 9b). A variety of different mechanisms for the production of alcohols and ketones can be suggested for the oxidation of polyethers.
- Pluronic F 127 NF was obtained from BASF Corp. (Parsippany, NJ) and used without further treatment. Acrylic acid (99%) was purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, WI) and was vacuum-distilled prior to the use. Dodecane (98%) and ammonium persulfate (99+%) were obtained from Aldrich and used as received. Poly(vinylpyrrolidinone-co-l- hexadecene) (Ganex V-216) (dispersion stabilizer) was obtained from International Specialty Products (Wayne, NJ) and used without further treatment. All other chemicals, gases and organic solvents of the highest purity available were obtained from commercial sources. Synthesis
- Poly(ethylene oxide)-6-poly(propylene oxide)-6-(polyethylene oxide)-g-poly(acrylic acid) (CAS #186810-81- 1) was synthesized by dispersion/emulsion polymerization of acrylic acid as follows: Acrylic acid (40 g) in a 125-mL flask was partially neutralized by addition of 50 w/w% aqueous NaOH solution while stirring. The degree of neutralization of acrylic acid was 6 mol%. Upon redissolu- tion of the formed precipitate, Pluronic (35 g) was charged into the flask and allowed to completely dissolve in acrylic acid under constant stirring.
- a 500-mL multinecked, thermostatted flanged glass reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, syringe sampler, thermometer, programmable heater bath, and a gas inlet/outlet was charged with 400 mL of 1 w/v% Ganex solution in dodecane and was deoxygenated for 2 h by nitrogen flow while stirring.
- the reactor was heated up to 70 0 C at 2 °C/min under constant nitrogen flow and was kept at this temperature for 1 h under stirring. Then the reactor was allowed to equilibrate at 20 0 C, the nitrogen flow was discontinued and the slurry of the resulting polymer was filtered off on air using Whatman filter paper (retention 10 ⁇ m). The polymer was repeatedly washed with excess hexane in separation funnels. The resultant white powder was dried in a rotor evaporator at 40 0 C for 24 h and dissolved in DI water at room temperature under stirring and constant purging of the forming solution by gentle air bubbling. The pH was adjusted to 7.0 by 5M NaOH solution. The process of dissolution took about 4 days. The polymer resulting from the above synthetic procedure is termed "unstabilized" Pluronic-PAA. Characterization Procedures
- transition range to mean the temperature range within which the primary substantial increase in complex viscosity is occurring.
- the transition range occurs from 27 degrees C to about 40 degrees C.
- it occurs from about 22 degrees C to about 39 degrees C.
- it can be more difficult to identify the upper end of the transition range because the complex viscosity of the material continues.
- there clearly is a break in the curve and a change in the slope of the viscosity- temperature curve. This break in the curve and change in the slope identifies the upper end of the viscosity-temperature curve.
- transition temperature Transition
- transition temperature to mean the midpoint of the transition range. Since in figure 1 , the transition range is from about 27 degrees C to about 40 degrees C, the transition temperature would be about 33.5 degrees C. Since in figure 2 the transition range is from about 22 degrees C to about 39 degrees C, the transition temperature is about 30.5 degrees C. In some cases, it has been observed for the graft reverse thermal hydrogels of the prior art that after autoclaving or after aging, in addition to the dimution or loss of complex viscosity in response to temperature increase, the transition range and transition temperature are shifted.
- Chart 1 Retention of complex viscosity at the transition temperature for a graft reverse thermal hydrogel of the prior art
- the solution becomes so degraded by autoclaving or by aging that no measurable change in viscosity is seen upon temperature increase and no transition range and transition temperature can be determined.
- the same transition temperature should be used after autoclaving or aging as before autoclaving or aging
- Acrylic acid (40 g) in a 125-mL flask was partially neutralized by addition of 50 w/w% aqueous NaOH solution while stirring. The degree of neutralization of acrylic acid was 6 mol%.
- Pluronic (35 g) was charged into the flask and allowed to completely dissolve in acrylic acid under constant stirring.
- a glass reactor as in Example 1 was charged with 400 mL of 0.2 w/v% Ganex solution in dodecane and was deoxygenated overnight by nitrogen flow while stirring.
- Freshly prepared 300 mg/mL aqueous ammonium persulfate solution (2 mL) was added into the solution of Pluronic in acrylic acid under stirring.
- the reactor was heated up to 70 0 C at 2 °C/min under constant nitrogen flow and was kept at this temperature for 2 h under stirring. Then the reactor was allowed to equilibrate at 20 0 C, the nitrogen flow was discontinued and the slurry was transferred to the separation funnel with excess hexane under nitrogen blanket.
- the polymer powder was then dried under vacuum (1 mTorr) at 4O 0 C overnight and the dry powder was kept at -7O 0 C.
- the Pluronic-PAA powder was then dissolved in deaerated 0.1 M NaOH solution at 4 0 C while bubbling nitrogen through the solution.
- the resulting 10 w/v% solution was snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and lyophilized for 48 h at 1-5 mTorr using a VirTis Freezemobile freeze dryer.
- the resulting fluffy powder was quickly dissolved in DI water at 2 w/v% and pH was adjusted to 7.0.
- the solutions were tested Theologically as described in Example 1. Results
- Graft Reverse Thermal Hydrogel (poly(ethylene oxide) -b-poly (propylene oxide) -b- poly(ethylene oxide) -g-poly (acrylic acid) ) which is stabilized to degradation by aging
- the graft reverse thermal hydrogel of Example II is allowed to age for one year at 25 degrees C. Measurement of the complex viscosity at a temperature TtransMo n + ⁇ T where ⁇ T is between 0 and 20 degrees C shows that the complex viscosity is 90% of greater of the complex viscosity measured prior to aging.
- Acrylic acid (99%), lauroyl peroxide (97%), benzoyl peroxide (97%), dodecane (99+%), 2,2'- azobisisobutyronitrile (98%, AIBN), and 2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-l- ⁇ i ⁇ eridinyloxy (99%, TEMPO) were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, WI) and used as received.
- Initiators 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylpentanenitrile) (Vazo 52) and lj'-azobiscyclohexanecarbonitrile (Vazo 88) were obtained from DuPont Specialty Chemicals (Wilmington, DE) and were recrystallized from cold acetone.

- Synthesis was carried out on a laboratory scale in an adiabatic mode.
- Poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-(poly(ethylene oxide))-g-poly(acrylic acid) was synthesized by dispersion/emulsion polymerization of acrylic acid along with simultaneous grafting of poly (aery Hc acid) onto Pluronic backbone as follows: Acrylic acid in a 125-mL flask was partially neutralized by the addition of 50 w/w % aqueous NaOH solution while stirring. The degree of neutralization of acrylic acid was 6 mol %. Upon redissolution of the formed precipitate, Pluronic was charged into the flask and allowed to completely dissolve in acrylic acid under constant agitation.
- a 500-mL multinecked, thermostated flanged glass reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, syringe sampler, thermometer, programmable heater bath, and a gas inlet/outlet was charged with 400 mL of Ganex solution in dodecane and was deoxyge- nated overnight by nitrogen flow while stirring. The rate of stirring and the ratio of the impeller diameter to the diameter of the vessel allowed for turbulence and micromixing.
- Initiator system comprising a solution of peroxide and/or azo compound in a small amount of acrylic acid was added into the solution of Pluronic in acrylic acid under stirring. The resulting solution was deoxygenated by nitrogen flow for 1 h and introduced into the reactor under nitrogen blanket while stirring.
- the polymer was repeatedly washed with excess heptane and then with excess hexane in separation funnels.
- the resultant white powder was dried under vacuum (10 "3 Torr) at 40 0 C for 24 h. After filtration using filter paper and washing by heptane and hexane the polymer was exposed to air.
- the polymer thus synthesized was dissolved in DI water, in the presence of air, for about a week and the pH was adjusted to 7.0 by 5M NaOH solution.
