[PMID: 35479695 PMCID: PMC9033233 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra02390j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 144] [Impact Index Per Article: 48.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
In spite of the fact that petroleum-based plastics are convenient in terms of fulfilling the performance requirements of many applications, they contribute significantly to a number of ecological and environmental problems. Recently, the public awareness of the negative effects of petroleum-based plastics on the environment has increased. The present utilization of natural resources cannot be sustained forever. Furthermore, oil is often subjected to price fluctuations and will eventually be depleted. The increase in the level of carbon dioxide due to the combustion of fossil fuel is causing global warming. Concerns about preservation of natural resources and climate change are considered worldwide motivations for academic and industrial researchers to reduce the consumption and dependence on fossil fuel. Therefore, bio-based polymers are moving towards becoming the favorable option to be utilized in polymer manufacturing, food packaging, and medical applications. This paper represents an overview of the feasibility of both Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) as alternative materials that can replace petroleum-based polymers in a wide range of industrial applications. Physical, thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of both polymers as well as their permeability and migration properties have been reviewed. Moreover, PLA's recyclability, sustainability, and environmental assessment have been also discussed. Finally, applications in which both polymers can replace petroleum-based plastics have been explored and provided.

Biocompatibility of polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate films generated from Bacillus cereus MCCB 281 for medical applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 176:244-252. [PMID: 33548322 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.02.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are natural polyesters produced by microorganisms as a source of intracellular energy reserves. These polymers have been extensively studied for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications due to their desirable material properties. Solvent-cast film of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), produced by Bacillus cereus MCCB 281 was characterized to study the surface morphology, roughness, thermal and mechanical properties. PHBV films were slightly hydrophilic with an average surface roughness of 43.66 nm. In vitro cell viability and proliferation studies on PHBV film surface investigated using L929 fibroblasts showed good cell attachment and proliferation. Hemocompatibility of PHBV evaluated by hemolysis assay, in vitro platelet adhesion and coagulation assays demonstrated good blood compatibility for use as blood contact graft materials. Therefore, PHBV produced from the marine bacterium favoured cellular growth of L929 fibroblasts indicating its potential to be used as a biomaterial substrate for cell adhesion in tissue engineering and medical applications.

Biosynthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) in Bacillus aryabhattai and cytotoxicity evaluation of PHBV/poly(ethylene glycol) blends. 3 Biotech 2020; 10:32. [PMID: 31988826 PMCID: PMC6946779 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-019-2017-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The study described poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) accumulation in Bacillus aryabhattai PHB10 for the first time and evaluated the polymer induced cytotoxicity in-vitro with PHBV/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blends. The B. aryabhattai strain produced 2.8 g/L PHBV, equivalent to 71.15% of cell dry mass in a medium supplemented with propionic acid, after 48 h incubation. The optimum temperature and pH for the copolymer accumulation was 31 °C and 7, respectively. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses confirmed the polymer obtained as PHBV. The differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that the melting point of the material as 90 °C and its thermal stability up to 220 °C. The average molecular weight (Mn) and polydispersity index of the sample was estimated by gel permeation chromatography analysis and observed as 128.508 kDa and 2.82, respectively. The PHBV showed tensile strength of 10.3 MPa and elongation at break of 13.3%. The PHBV and their blends with PEG were tested for cytotoxicity on human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and the cells incubated with PHBV/PEG2kDa blends were 99% viable, whereas with the PHBV alone showed comparatively higher cytotoxicity. The significant improvement in the cell viability of PHBV/PEG2kDa blends indicates its potential as a candidate for skin graft applications.

Biosynthesis and characterization of a novel, biocompatible medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate by Pseudomonas mendocina CH50 using coconut oil as the carbon source. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2018; 29:179.

Abstract
This study validated the utilization of triacylglycerides (TAGs) by Pseudomonas mendocina CH50, a wild type strain, resulting in the production of novel mcl-PHAs with unique physical properties. A PHA yield of 58% dcw was obtained using 20 g/L of coconut oil. Chemical and structural characterisation confirmed that the mcl-PHA produced was a terpolymer comprising of three different repeating monomer units, 3-hydroxyoctanoate, 3-hydroxydecanoate and 3-hydroxydodecanoate or P(3HO-3HD-3HDD). Bearing in mind the potential of P(3HO-3HD-3HDD) in biomedical research, especially in neural tissue engineering, in vitro biocompatibility studies were carried out using NG108-15 (neuronal) cells. Cell viability data confirmed that P(3HO-3HD-3HDD) supported the attachment and proliferation of NG108-15 and was therefore confirmed to be biocompatible in nature and suitable for neural regeneration.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has become a "material of choice" in biomedical applications for its ability to fulfill complex needs that typically include properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical strength, and processability. Despite the advantages of pure PLA in a wider spectrum of applications, it is limited by its hydrophobicity, low impact toughness, and slow degradation rate. Blending PLA with other polymers offers a convenient option to enhance its properties or generate novel properties for target applications without the need to develop new materials. PLA blends with different natural and synthetic polymers have been developed by solvent and melt blending techniques and further processed based on end-use applications. A variety of PLA blends has been explored for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, implants, sutures, and tissue engineering. This review discusses the opportunities for PLA blends in the biomedical arena, including the overview of blending and postblend processing techniques and the applications of PLA blends currently in use and under development.

Abstract
The in vivo effectiveness of biomolecules may be limited by their rapid diffusion in the body and short half-life time. Encapsulation of these biomolecules allows protecting them against degradation and ensuring a controlled release over time. In this work, the production of polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate/polyethylene glycol-based microspheres loaded with heparin by double emulsion-solvent evaporation is investigated. Significant improvements are achieved after blending PHB-HV microspheres with PEG. First of all, an important decrease of the initial burst effect is ensured. Moreover, lower degradation of the microspheres is observed after 30days in the release medium. Finally, the release rate could be controlled using different PEG molecular weights and concentrations. A toxic effect of PHB-HV 30% PEG 1100gmol-1 microspheres is observed whereas PHB-HV and PHB-HV 30% PEG 10,000gmol-1 microspheres are not toxic. These microspheres seem to be most suited for further tissue engineering applications. The effectiveness of direct PEG blending to PHB-HV is proved, limiting the use of chemical reagents for PHB-HV/PEG copolymer synthesis and steps for chemical reagents removal from the copolymer.
