Injectable Catalyst-Free Poly(Propylene Fumarate)
System Cross-Linked by Strain Promoted Alkyne–Azide Cycloaddition
Click Chemistry for Spine Defect Filling

A new PPF-BCN/hyPCL32-N3 injectable system that can
be cross-linked by catalyst-free, strain promoted alkyne–azide
cycloaddition (SPAAC) click chemistry was developed for tissue engineering
applications. The system consisted of two components: PPF-BCN, poly(propylene
fumarate) (PPF) functionalized with (1R,8S,9s)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9-ylmethanol (BCN-OH), and
hyPCL32-N3, a hyper-branched 32-arm poly(ε-caprolactone)
(PCL) dendrimer functionalized with azide as the cross-linker core.
Fast SPAAC click reaction allowed the desired gelation of the system
without using any toxic initiator or catalyst. Compared to the conventional
injectable formulation, e.g., poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), our
PPF-BCN/hyPCL32-N3 (abbreviated as PFCL-Click) injectable
system showed enhanced biocompatibility and low heat generation during
cross-linking. After reaction, the cross-linked PFCL-Click scaffolds
supported excellent proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblast
cells on the surface. The PFCL-Click system can be successfully injected
into vertebral bodies of rabbit spine and can be monitored by X-ray
imaging after incorporating zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) powder.
With these unique advantages, this injectable system has promising
potential for bone defect repair and other tissue engineering and
regenerative medicine applications.
