There is provided a photocrosslinked polysaccharide exhibiting a low swelling property and a high degradation ability in vivo while retaining a suitable strength. The polysaccharide pseudo-sponge is produced by a crosslinking reaction of a photoreactive polysaccharide obtained by introducing a photoreactive group into a polysaccharide, and exhibits a low swelling property and a blue dextran-low dyeaffinity which satisfy the following properties (I) and (II), respectively:
(I) a swelling ratio of not more than 125% as calculated from the values measured by immersing a test specimen having a thickness of 1 mm, a length of 10 mm and a width of 10 mm, and a solvent content of 96% by weight, in water for injection at room temperature for 1 hour, according to the following formula: Swelling ratio=(S2-S1)/S1}×100 wherein S1 represents an area of the test specimen before the immersion, and S2 is an area of the test specimen after the immersion, in which the area is calculated from the length and width of the test specimen; and
(II) an absorbance of not more than 0.15 at a wavelength of 620 nm as measured with respect to an aqueous solution containing 0.67% by weight of a polysaccharide which is prepared by immersing a test specimen having a thickness of 1 mm, a length of 20 mm and a width of 10 mm, and a solvent content of 96% by weight, in an aqueous solution containing 0.5 g/mL of blue dextran having a weight-average molecular weight of 2,000,000, and then subjecting the test specimen to water-washing and hydrolysis.
本发明提供了一种光交联多糖,在保持适当强度的同时,具有低膨胀性和高体内降解能力。该多糖假海绵是通过在多糖中引入光活性基团而得到的光活性多糖的交联反应制得的,具有低膨胀性和低染料亲和性的蓝色葡聚糖,分别满足以下特性(I)和(II):
(I) 将厚度为 1 毫米、长度为 10 毫米、宽度为 10 毫米、溶剂含量为 96% (按重量计)的试样在室温注射用水中浸泡 1 小时后测得的膨胀率不超过 125%,按下式计算:膨胀率=(S2-S1)/S1}×100 其中 S1 代表浸泡前试样的面积,S2 是浸泡后试样的面积,其中面积是根据试样的长度和宽度计算得出的;以及
(II) 相对于含有 0.67%(按重量计)多糖的水溶液,在 620 纳米波长处测得的吸光度不超过 0.15,该多糖是将厚度为 1 毫米、长度为 20 毫米、宽度为 10 毫米、溶剂含量为 96%(按重量计)的试样浸入含有 0.5 克/毫升重量平均分子量为 2,000,000 的蓝色葡聚糖的水溶液中,然后将试样进行水洗和水解。
