Abstract
Developing a neurovascular bone repair scaffold with an appropriate mechanical strength remains a challenge. Calcium phosphate (CaP) is similar to human bone, but its scaffolds are inherently brittle and inactive, which require recombination with active ions and polymers for bioactivity and suitable strength. This work discussed the synthesis of amorphous magnesium-calcium pyrophosphate (AMCP) and the subsequent development of a humidity-responsive AMCP/cassava starch (CS) scaffold. The scaffold demonstrated enhanced mechanical properties by strengthening the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds between AMCP and CS during the gelatinization and freeze-thawing processes. The release of active ions was rapid initially and stabilized into a long-term stable release after 3 days, which is well-matched with new bone growth. The release of pyrophosphate ions endowed the scaffold with antibacterial properties. At the cellular level, the released active ions simultaneously promoted the proliferation and mineralization of osteoblasts, the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, and the proliferation of Schwann cells. At the animal level, the scaffold was demonstrated to promote vascular growth and peripheral nerve regeneration in a rat skull defect experiment, ultimately resulting in the significant and rapid repair of bone defects. The construction of the AMCP/CS scaffold offers practical suggestions and references for neurovascular bone repair.

Amorphous 1-D nanowires of calcium phosphate/pyrophosphate: A demonstration of oriented self-growth of amorphous minerals. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 657:960-970.

Abstract
Amorphous inorganic solids are traditionally isotropic, thus, it is believed that they only grow in a non-preferential way without the assistance of regulators, leading to the morphologies of nanospheres or irregular aggregates of nanoparticles. However, in the presence of (ortho)phosphate (Pi) and pyrophosphate ions (PPi) which have synergistic roles in biomineralization, the highly elongated amorphous nanowires (denoted ACPPNs) form in a regulator-free aqueous solution (without templates, additives, organics, etc). Based on thorough characterization and tracking of the formation process (e.g., Cryo-TEM, spherical aberration correction high resolution TEM, solid state NMR, high energy resolution monochromated STEM-EELS), the microstructure and its preferential growth behavior are elucidated. In ACPPNs, amorphous calcium orthophosphate and amorphous calcium pyrophosphate are distributed at separated but close sites. The ACPPNs grow via either the preferential attachment of ∼2 nm nanoclusters in a 1-dimension way, or the transformation of bigger nanoparticles, indicating an inherent driving force-governed process. We propose that the anisotropy of ACPPNs microstructure, which is corroborated experimentally, causes their oriented growth. This study proves that, unlike the conventional view, amorphous minerals can form via oriented growth without external regulation, demonstrating a novel insight into the structures and growth behaviors of amorphous minerals.

Abstract
Amorphous calcium phosphate-based materials are of major interest in the field of bone substitution. Very recently, the low-temperature synthesis of a new family of amorphous calcium phosphate containing both orthophosphate and pyrophosphate ions in controlled proportions has been reported. Despite their interest, especially due to the biochemical role and the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate occurring in vivo, the behavior of such materials when interacting with aqueous media has never been described. Consequently, we herein report the in vitro acellular evolution of three compositions of mixed calcium ortho- and pyrophosphate amorphous materials including a different orthophosphate proportion. As a first step to assess the physicochemical reactivity of these amorphous materials, they were tested in two different media at 37 °C, acidified water and simulated body fluid solution, from 1 h up to 15 days. The results demonstrated that they were quite stable and that they progressively released part of their constitutive ions, highlighting their potential for controlled delivery of bioactive ions (calcium, orthophosphate, and pyrophosphate ions). In addition to these properties, we showed that the material with the highest ortho/(ortho + pyro) phosphate ratio started to crystallize into nanocrystalline apatite analogous to bone mineral within 2 days or 2 weeks depending on the medium. For the other material compositions, no layer of apatite was detected at their surface with SBF testing despite the favorable supersaturation indexes, crystallization being probably inhibited by pyrophosphate ions released in the medium. This varying apatite-forming ability emphasizes the key role of the ortho/(ortho + pyro) phosphate ratio of these materials in their in vitro reactivity and bioactivity, which paves the way for the development of this promising family of amorphous calcium phosphate materials with tunable physicochemical and biological properties.

Abstract
In this study, the binding capacity of calcium ions of sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), tetrasodium pyrophosphate (TSPP), trisodium citrate (TSC), and potassium oxalate (PO) were evaluated, and the calcium distribution in the presence of STPP and TSPP in CaCl2 solutions (50mmolL−1) were investigated. Under conditions simulating industrial toothpaste, the concentration of fluoride in calcium carbonate suspensions (30 g/50 g) was measured by ion chromatography to investigate the effects of chelating agents on calcium ions. Among all the chelating agents, STPP and TSPP have the highest retention rate of fluoride, indicating better calcium binding capacity. Preliminary studies were carried out in CaCl2 solutions to investigate the influence of concentration and pH on the chelating performance of STPP and TSPP. The distribution of free calcium, chelated calcium, and precipitated calcium in CaCl2 solution in the presence of STPP and TSPP were investigated to reveal two different calcium-chelation mechanisms and laws for STPP and TSPP. This work has a positive guiding significance for the stabilisation of calcium and fluoride in toothpaste formula.

Abstract
The development of amorphous phosphate-based materials is of major interest in the field of biomaterials science, and especially for bone substitution applications. In this context, we herein report the synthesis of gel-derived hydrated amorphous calcium/sodium ortho/pyrophosphate materials at ambient temperature and in water. For the first time, such materials have been obtained in a large range of tunable orthophosphate/pyrophosphate molar ratios. Multi-scale characterization was carried out thanks to various techniques, including advanced multinuclear solid state NMR. It allowed the quantification of each ionic/molecular species leading to a general formula for these materials: [(Ca2+y Na+z H+3+x-2y-z)(PO43-)1-x(P2O74-)x](H2O)u. Beyond this formula, the analyses suggest that these amorphous solids are formed by the aggregation of colloids and that surface water and sodium could play a role in the cohesion of the whole material. Although the full comprehension of mechanisms of formation and structure is still to be investigated in detail, the straightforward synthesis of these new amorphous materials opens up many perspectives in the field of materials for bone substitution and regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The metastability of amorphous phosphate-based materials with various chain length often improves their (bio)chemical reactivity. However, the control of the ratio of the different phosphate entities has not been yet described especially for small ions (pyrophosphate/orthophosphate) and using soft chemistry, whereas it opens the way for the tuning of enzyme- and/or pH-driven degradation and biological properties. Our study focuses on elaboration of amorphous gel-derived hydrated calcium/sodium ortho/pyrophosphate solids at 70 °C with a large range of orthophosphate/pyrophosphate ratios. Multi-scale characterization was carried out using various techniques such as advanced multinuclear SSNMR (31P, 23Na, 1H, 43Ca). Analyses suggest that these solids are formed by colloids aggregation and that the location of mobile water and sodium could play a role in the material cohesion.

Abstract
The biological effects and cellular activations triggered by monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (monoclinic: m-CPPD) crystals might be modulated by protein coating on the crystal surface. This study is aimed at: (i) Identifying proteins adsorbed on m-CPPD crystals, and the underlying mechanisms of protein adsorption, and (ii) to understand how protein coating did modulate the inflammatory properties of m-CPPD crystals. The effects of protein coating were assessed in vitro using primary macrophages and THP1 monocytes. Physico-chemical studies on the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) upon m-CPPD crystals were performed. Adsorption of serum proteins, and BSA on MSU, as well as upon m-CPPD crystals, inhibited their capacity to induce interleukin-1-β secretions, along with a decreased ATP secretion, and a disturbance of mitochondrial membrane depolarization, suggesting an alteration of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Proteomic analysis identified numerous m-CPPD-associated proteins including hemoglobin, complement, albumin, apolipoproteins and coagulation factors. BSA adsorption on m-CPPD crystals followed a Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm, suggesting that it could modulate m-CPPD crystal-induced cell responses through crystal/cell-membrane interaction. BSA is adsorbed on m-CPPD crystals with weak interactions, confirmed by the preliminary AFM study, but strong interactions of BSA molecules with each other occurred favoring crystal agglomeration, which might contribute to a decrease in the inflammatory properties of m-CPPD crystals. These findings give new insights into the pathogenesis of crystal-related rheumatic diseases and subsequently may open the way for new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Benzoxaboroles are a family of molecules that are finding an increasing number of applications in the biomedical field, particularly as a "privileged scaffold" for the design of new drugs. Here, for the first time, we determine the interaction of these molecules with hydroxyapatites, in view of establishing (i) how benzoxaborole drugs may adsorb onto biological apatites, as this could impact on their bioavailability, and (ii) how apatite-based materials can be used for their formulation. Studies on the adsorption of the benzoxaborole motif (C7H7BO2, referred to as BBzx) on two different apatite phases were thus performed, using a ceramic hydroxyapatite (HAceram) and a nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HAnano), the latter having a structure and composition more similar to the one found in bone mineral. In both cases, the grafting kinetics and mechanism were studied, and demonstration of the surface attachment of the benzoxaborole under the form of a tetrahedral benzoxaborolate anion was established using (11)B solid state NMR (including (11)B-(31)P correlation experiments). Irrespective of the apatite used, the grafting density of the benzoxaborolates was found to be low, and more generally, these anions demonstrated a poor affinity for apatite surfaces, notably in comparison with other anions commonly found in biological media, such as carboxylates and (organo)phosphates. The study was then extended to the adsorption of a molecule with antimicrobial and antifungal properties (3-piperazine-bis(benzoxaborole)), showing, on a more general perspective, how hydroxyapatites can be used for the development of novel formulations of benzoxaborole drugs. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Benzoxaboroles are an emerging family of molecules which have attracted much attention in the biomedical field, notably for the design of new drugs. However, the way in which these molecules, once introduced in the body, may interact with bone mineral is still unknown, and the possibility of associating benzoxaboroles to calcium phosphates for drug-formulation purposes has not been looked into. Here, we describe the first study of the adsorption of benzoxaboroles on hydroxyapatite, which is the main mineral phase present in bone. We describe the mode of grafting of benzoxaboroles on this material, and show that they only weakly bind to its surface, especially in comparison to other ionic species commonly found in physiological media, such as phosphates and carboxylates. This demonstrates that administered benzoxaborole drugs are unlikely to remain adsorbed on hydroxyapatite surfaces for long periods of time, which means that their biodistribution will not be affected by such phenomena. Moreover, this work shows that the formulation of benzoxaborole drugs by association to calcium phosphates like hydroxyapatite will lead to a rapid release of the molecules.

Development of a new family of monolithic calcium (pyro)phosphate glasses by soft chemistry. Acta Biomater 2016; 41:320-7. [PMID: 27221792 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2016.05.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2016] [Revised: 05/13/2016] [Accepted: 05/20/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED The development of bioactive phosphate-based glasses is essential in biomaterials science, and especially for bone substitution applications. In this context, the preparation of amorphous calcium-phosphorus hydroxide/oxide monoliths at low temperature is a key challenge for being able to develop novel hybrid materials for these applications. We herein report for the first time the synthesis and physical chemical characterisation of a novel family of pyrophosphate-based glasses (with the formula: {[(Ca(2+))1-x(H(+)/K(+))2x]2[(P2O7(4-))1-y(PO4(3-))4y/3]} n(H2O)), which were prepared by soft chemistry using low temperatures (T<70°C) and water as a solvent. The effect of the initial Ca/Pyrophosphate ratio on the structure and morphology of these pyrophosphate glasses was investigated in detail. Depending on this ratio, a glass (mixed calcium pyro- and orthophosphate) or a glass-ceramic (Ca10K4(P2O7)6·9H2O crystals embedded in the amorphous phase) was obtained. The proportion of the crystalline phase increased with an increase in the Ca/Pyrophosphate ratio in the batch solution. As expected for a glass, the formation of the glassy material was demonstrated not to be thermodynamically but rather kinetically driven, and the washing step was found to be crucial to prevent crystallisation. The stability of the amorphous phase was discussed considering the structural degrees of freedom of pyrophosphate entities, ionic strength of the initial solution and the inhibitory effect of orthophosphate ions. Overall, this new strategy of preparation of monolithic calcium-(pyro)phosphate based glasses using soft chemistry in water is highly promising in view of preparing new functional organic-inorganic hybrids for bone substitution applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Phosphate-based glasses have gradually emerged as a potential alternative to silicate bioactive glasses in order to induce different biological mechanisms of degradation. The synthesis of such monolithic glasses at low temperature is a key step to allow new inorganic glass compositions to be reached and hybrid materials to be prepared. Although sol-gel and coacervate methods (respectively orthophosphate and metaphosphate precursors) have already been described to prepare such glasses, the use of toxic solvents and/or the final temperature treatment associated to these processes could limit the use of these materials for biomedical applications and/or the further development of hybrids. It is shown here that pyrophosphate precursors are an alternative strategy to obtain monolithic calcium (pyro)phosphate glasses under soft conditions (water solvent, 70°C).

Abstract
Hydrated calcium pyrophosphates (CPP, Ca2P2O7·nH2O) are a fundamental family of materials among osteoarticular pathologic calcifications. In this contribution, a comprehensive multinuclear NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) study of four crystalline and two amorphous phases of this family is presented. (1)H, (31)P and (43)Ca MAS (Magic Angle Spinning) NMR spectra were recorded, leading to informative fingerprints characterizing each compound. In particular, different (1)H and (43)Ca solid state NMR signatures were observed for the amorphous phases, depending on the synthetic procedure used. The NMR parameters of the crystalline phases were determined using the GIPAW (Gauge Including Projected Augmented Wave) DFT approach, based on first-principles calculations. In some cases, relaxed structures were found to improve the agreement between experimental and calculated values, demonstrating the importance of proton positions and pyrophosphate local geometry in this particular NMR crystallography approach. Such calculations serve as a basis for the future ab initio modeling of the amorphous CPP phases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The general concept of NMR crystallography is applied to the detailed study of calcium pyrophosphates (CPP), whether hydrated or not, and whether crystalline or amorphous. CPP are a fundamental family of materials among osteoarticular pathologic calcifications. Their prevalence increases with age, impacting on 17.5% of the population after the age of 80. They are frequently involved or associated with acute articular arthritis such as pseudogout. Current treatments are mainly directed at relieving the symptoms of joint inflammation but not at inhibiting CPP formation nor at dissolving these crystals. The combination of advanced NMR techniques, modeling and DFT based calculation of NMR parameters allows new original insights in the detailed structural description of this important class of biomaterials.

Abstract
Flower-like chitosan/calcium pyrophosphate hybrid microparticles (microflowers) are prepared using a facile one-pot approach by combining ionotropic gelation with biomimetic mineralization. Chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CS-TPP) nanocomplexes are first synthesized through ionotropic gelation; meanwhile, excess TPP is partly hydrolyzed into pyrophosphate ions (P2O7(4-)). Upon addition of CaCl2, CS-TPP nanocomplexes serve as a versatile template, inducing in situ mineralization of Ca2P2O7 and directing its growth and assembly into microflowers. The whole preparation process can be completed within half an hour. The as-prepared microflowers are composed of 23.0% CS-TPP nanocomplexes and 77.0% Ca2P2O7 crystals. Mesopores (3.7 and 11.2 nm) and macropores coexist in the microflowers, indicating porous and hierarchical structures. The microflowers exhibit high efficiency in dye adsorption and enzymatic catalysis. Specifically, a high adsorption capacity of 520 mg g(-1) for Congo red is achieved. And the immobilized enzyme retains about 85% catalytic activity compared with that of the free enzyme. The facile one-pot preparation process ensures the broad applications of the porous hybrid microflowers.

Abstract
Calcium pyrophosphate hydrate (CPP, Ca(2)P(2)O(7) · nH2O) and calcium orthophosphate compounds (including apatite, octacalcium phosphate etc.) are among the most prevalent pathological calcifications in joints. Even though only two dihydrated forms of CPP (CPPD) have been detected in vivo (monoclinic and triclinic CPPD), investigations of other hydrated forms such as tetrahydrated or amorphous CPP are relevant to a further understanding of the physicochemistry of those phases of biological interest. The synthesis of single crystals of calcium pyrophosphate monohydrate (CPPM; Ca(2)P(2)O(7) · H2O) by diffusion in silica gel at ambient temperature and the structural analysis of this phase are reported in this paper. Complementarily, data from synchrotron X-ray diffraction on a CPPM powder sample have been fitted to the crystal parameters. Finally, the relationship between the resolved structure for the CPPM phase and the structure of the tetrahydrated calcium pyrophosphate β phase (CPPT-β) is discussed.

Abstract
Pyrophosphate ions are both inhibitors of HA formation and substrates for phosphatase enzymes. Unlike polyphosphates their hydrolysis results simultaneously in the complete loss of mineral formation inhibition and a localised elevation in orthophosphate ion concentration. Despite recent advances in our knowledge of the role of the pyrophosphate ion, very little is known about the effects of pyrophosphate on bone formation and even less is known about its local delivery. In this work we first developed a self setting pyrophosphate based calcium cement system with appropriate handling properties and then compared its in vivo degradation properties with those of a non-pyrophosphate containing control. Contrary to expectation, the presence of the pyrophosphate phase in the cement matrix did not inhibit mineralisation of the healing bone around the implant, but actually appeared to stimulate it. In vitro evidence suggested that enzymatic action accelerated dissolution of the inorganic pyrophosphate ions, causing a simultaneous loss of their mineralisation inhibition and a localised rise in supersaturation with respect to HA. This is thought to be a rare example of a biologically responsive inorganic material and these materials seem to be worthy of further investigation. Bioceramics to date have mainly been limited to orthophosphate, silicate and carbonate salts of calcium, here we report the successful application of a pyrophosphate material as a degradable osteoconductive bone repair cement.
