MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 16:64. [PMID: 36614402 PMCID: PMC9821757 DOI: 10.3390/ma16010064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has received considerable attention in the field of ceramic biomaterials as an advanced functional material. It exhibits a layered structure composed of apatitic and hydrated layers and can incorporate various dicarboxylate ions into the hydrated layer. Saturated dicarboxylic acids (HOOC(CH2)nCOOH) with an odd number of methylene groups (-CH2-) exhibit lower incorporation fractions than those with an even number of methylene groups, possibly owing to a compositional dependence on the synthetic method. In this study, calcium carbonate, phosphoric acid, and various amounts of glutaric acid were used to produce glutarate-ion-incorporated OCP by a wet chemical method, which is different from the conventional synthetic strategy. While utilising 1-20 mmol of glutaric acid during synthesis did not produce the desired product, using 25 mmol of glutaric acid resulted in the formation of single-phase glutarate-ion-incorporated OCP with a Ca/P molar ratio of 1.57 and a 90% incorporation fraction of glutarate ions. This glutarate-ion-incorporation fraction is significantly higher than that reported in the previous studies (35%). Thus, the synthetic procedure proposed herein was able to produce single-phase OCP containing glutarate ions with a high incorporation fraction. Our findings can contribute to development of novel functional ceramic biomaterials in the future.

Abstract
Theranostics (bifunction of therapeutics and diagnostics) has attracted increasing attention due to its efficiency that can reduce the physical and financial burden on patients. One of the promising materials for theranostics is calcium phosphate (CP) and it is biocompatible and can be functionalized not only with drug molecules but also with rare earth ions to show photoluminescence that is necessary for the diagnostic purpose. Such the CP-based hybrids are formed in vivo by interacting between functional groups of organic molecules and inorganic ions. It is of great importance to elucidate the interaction of CP with the photofunctional species and the drug molecules to clarify the relationship between the existing state and function. Well-designed photofunctional CPs will contribute to biomedical fields as highly-functional ormultifunctional theranostic materials at the nanoscales. In this review, we describe the hybridization between CPs and heterogeneous species, mainly focusing on europium(III) ion and methylene blue molecule as the representative photofunctional species for theranostics applications.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) belongs to a family of calcium phosphate compounds. OCP has unique crystal-chemical properties; among calcium phosphate compounds, only OCP can incorporate carboxylate ions into its crystal lattice. An OCP with incorporated carboxylate ions is called an OCP carboxylate (OCPC). OCPCs are investigated for applications in novel adsorbents, electrochemical devices, and biomaterials. Several wet methods are available for the synthesis of OCPCs, and the characteristics and advantages of each method are explained. Representative characterization methods, i.e. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, used for the detection of carboxylate ion incorporation into the OCP interlayers are explained. Various carboxylic acids can be incorporated into OCP, and these types of carboxylic acid are presented with reference to the latest research results. The incorporation of carboxylate ions into OCP represents a modification of the OCP crystal at the molecular level and can impart various functions. Challenging physicochemical and biomaterial applications of OCPCs are thus introduced, although they are still in the research phase. Finally, future perspectives and challenges for OCPC research are described.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) can incorporate various dicarboxylate ions in the interlayer spaces of its layered structure. Although not proven, these incorporated ions are believed to have a linear structure. In this study, the steric structures of twelve different dicarboxylate ions incorporated into OCP were investigated by comparing the experimentally determined interlayer distance of the OCP with the distance estimated using the molecular sizes of dicarboxylic acids calculated by considering their steric structures. The results revealed that the incorporated succinate, glutarate, adipate, pimelate, suberate, and aspartate ions possessed linear structures, whereas the incorporated azelate, sebacate, methylsuccinate, and malate ions exhibited bent structures. Further, the incorporated mercaptosuccinate ions featured linear, bent, other types of structures. Moreover, the steric structure of the incorporated malonate ion significantly differed from those of other dicarboxylate ions. The computational approach employed in this study is expected to deepen our understanding of the steric structures of dicarboxylate ions incorporated in the OCP interlayer spaces.

Incorporation of tetracarboxylate ions into octacalcium phosphate for the development of next-generation biofriendly materials. Commun Chem 2021; 4:4.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP; Ca8(HPO4)2(PO4)4 ∙ 5H2O) is a precursor of hydroxyapatite found in human bones and teeth, and is among the inorganic substances critical for hard tissue formation and regeneration in the human body. OCP has a layered structure and can incorporate carboxylate ions into its interlayers. However, studies involving the incorporation of tetracarboxylic and multivalent (pentavalent and above) carboxylic acids into OCP have not yet been reported. In this study, we investigate the incorporation of pyromellitic acid (1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid), a type of tetracarboxylic acid, into OCP. We established that pyromellitate ions could be incorporated into OCP by a wet chemical method using an acetate buffer solution containing pyromellitic acid. The derived OCP showed a brilliant blue emission under UV light owing to the incorporated pyromellitate ions. Incorporation of a carboxylic acid into OCP imparted new functions, which could enable the development of novel functional materials for biomedical applications.
