In this study, a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-quaternary ammonium salt chitosan) hydrogel was developed with enhanced tear protein deposition resistance and antimicrobial activity.
Tear protein deposition resistance and antimicrobial property are two challenges of conventional poly(2hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) contact lenses. In this work, we developed a poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-quaternary ammonium salt chitosan) hydrogel, named as p(HEMA-co-mHACC) hydrogel, using acryloyl HACC (mHACC) as a macromolecular crosslinker. With increasing the acryloyl substitution degree (14???29%) or mHACC content (2???11%), the hydrogel showed an enhanced tensile strength (432???986 kPa) and Young's modulus (360???1158 kPa), a decreased elongation at break (242???84%), and an increased visible light transmittance (0???95%). At an optimal acryloyl substitution degree of 26%, with the increase of mHACC content from 2% to 11%, p(HEMA-co-mHACC) hydrogel presented a decreased water contact angle from 84.6 to 55.3 degree, an increased equilibrium water content from 38% to 45%, and an enhanced oxygen permeability from 8.5 to 13.5 barrer. Due to the enhancement in surface hydrophilicity and electropositivity, p(HEMA-co-mHACC) hydrogel remarkably reduced the deposition of lysozyme, but little affected the adsorption of BSA, depending on the hydrophilic/hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The antimicrobial test against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli showed that p(HEMA-co-mHACC) hydrogel presented an 8???32 times higher germicidal ability than pHEMA hydrogel, indicative of a better antimicrobial activity. The in vitro cell culture of mouse NIH3T3 fibroblasts and immortalized human keratinocytes showed that p(HEMA-co-mHACC) hydrogel was non-toxic. Thus, p(HEMA-co-mHACC) hydrogel with tear protein deposition resistance and antimicrobial activity is a potential candidate for contact lenses.
