Agregation of palmitoyl-modified hyaluronan
Lehocká, Nikola ; Mravec, Filip (referee) ; Pekař, Miloslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the aggregation behaviour of palmitoylhyaluronan in two degrees of substitution, namely 10 % and 16 %. Using a fluorescence spectroscopy method with pyrene as a fluorescence probe, we found a critical micellar concentration. The results were confirmed by measuring the dynamic light scattering, which also showed an increase in the size of aggre-gates with an increasing concentration. System stability is reduced by increased ionic strength as evidenced by zeta potential measurement. Experiments found that 16 % substitution sample can form a gel. The gel is very stiff and has excellent properties, which was confirmed by rhe-ology. We also managed to incorporate pyrene in the gel, which was demonstrated by the presence of highly solvated domains that could be polymer micelles. Based on these results, 16% substitution sample was subjected the MTT assay to cytotoxicity. The results confirmed that the examined sample was not toxic.
