A method for at least partial deacetylation of a biopolymer comprising acetyl groups, including: a1) providing a biopolymer including acetyl groups; a2) reacting the biopolymer including acetyl groups with hydroxylamine (NHOH) or a salt thereof at a temperature of 100° C. or less for 2-200 hours to form an at least partially deacetylated biopolymer; and a3) recovering the at least partially deacetylated biopolymer.

Method for deacetylation of biopolymers

A method of preparing a hydrogel product including crosslinked glycosaminoglycan molecules, said method including: i) providing a glycosaminoglycan crosslinked by amide bonds, wherein the crosslinked glycosaminoglycans include residual amine groups; and ii) acylating residual amine groups of the crosslinked glycosaminoglycans provided in i) to form acylated crosslinked glycosaminoglycans.

Method for preparing acylated crosslinked glycosaminoglycans

A new hydrogel made of crosslinked glycosaminoglycans, particularly crosslinked hyaluronic acid, chondroitin or chondroitin sulfate, having reversible linkages using boronic acid or boroxole derivatives leading to new benefits. Glycosaminoglycans that are crosslinked via an alkoxyboronate ester anion formed between a diol portion of a diol-functional moiety grafted to a first glycosaminoglycan and a boronate hemiester grafted to a second glycosaminoglycan.

Method of crosslinking glycosaminoglycans

The invention relates to a hydrogel product comprising glycosaminoglycan molecules as the swellable polymer, wherein the glycosaminoglycan molecules are covalently crosslinked via crosslinks comprising a spacer group selected from the group consisting of di-, tri-, tetra-, and oligosaccharides.

Carbohydrate crosslinker

A method for at least partial deacetylation of a biopolymer comprising acetyl groups, including: a1) providing a biopolymer including acetyl groups; a2) reacting the biopolymer including acetyl groups with hydroxylamine (NHOH) or a salt thereof at a temperature of 100&#xb0; C. or less for 2-200 hours to form an at least partially deacetylated biopolymer; and a3) recovering the at least partially deacetylated biopolymer.

A method for cleaving amide bonds, comprising:

Method for cleaving amide bonds

A method for cleaving amide bonds, including: a) providing a molecule including an amide group; b) reacting the molecule including the amide group with a hydroxylamine salt to cleave the amide bond of the amide group. The method may further include c) recovering a product formed by the reaction of step b).

A method of preparing a sterilized injectable hydrogel composition, including the steps: a) covalently crosslinking a glycosaminoglycan using a bi- or polyfunctional crosslinking agent to form a covalently crosslinked glycosaminoglycan, b) swelling the covalently crosslinked glycosaminoglycan in a solution including a divalent cation to form a hydrogel composition, and c) sterilizing the hydrogel composition by autoclaving to form a sterilized injectable hydrogel composition, and to sterilized injectable hydrogel compositions obtainable by such method.
