Methacrylated Hyaluronic Acid (HAMA)

Methacrylated Hyaluronic Acid (HAMA)

Methacrylated Hyaluronic Acid (HAMA) is a photocrosslinkable derivative of natural hyaluronic acid, a key extracellular‑matrix polysaccharide known for its exceptional biocompatibility, hydration capacity, and FDA‑approved safety profile. By introducing methacryloyl groups, HAMA enables rapid light‑induced gelation under UV or visible light, forming stable hydrogels ideal for 2D/3D cell culture, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, wound healing, and bio‑3D printing. HAMA can be combined with o‑nitrobenzyl–modified polymers such as PEGNB and HANB to generate high‑strength hydrogels within seconds, or blended with methacrylated and acrylated polymers including CMCMA, GelMA, and PEGDA to create customizable hydrogel systems with diverse mechanical and physicochemical properties.

Description

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an essential component of the human extracellular matrix, playing key physiological roles in water retention, maintenance of extracellular space, osmotic regulation, lubrication, and promotion of tissue repair. HA has been approved by the FDA and is widely used in biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility and safety profile. HAMA is a photosensitive polymer obtained by modifying HA with methacrylic anhydride (MA). With outstanding biocompatibility and simple curing behavior, HAMA has been extensively applied in 2D/3D cell culture, drug delivery, tissue‑engineering constructs, cartilage regeneration, wound dressings, biosensors, and anti‑adhesion barriers.

Our HAMA can be used in combination with o‑nitrobenzyl–modified polymers such as PEGNB and HANB. In the presence of a photoinitiator (e.g., NAP), light exposure rapidly triggers polymerization and crosslinking, forming high‑strength hydrogels within seconds. It can also be blended with methacrylated polymers such as CMCMA and GelMA, as well as acrylate‑modified polymers such as PEGDA, enabling the construction of hydrogels with diverse physicochemical properties.
