Abstract
While many injectable viscosupplementation products are available for osteoarthritis (OA) management, multiple hydrogel functional attributes may be further optimized for efficacy enhancement. The objective of this study was to functionally benchmark four commercially available hyaluronan-based viscosupplements (Ostenil, Ostenil Plus, Synvisc, and Innoryos), focusing on critical (rheological, lubricative, adhesive, and stability) attributes. Therefore, in vitro and ex vivo quantitative characterization panels (oscillatory rheology, rotational tribology, and texture analysis with bovine cartilage) were used for hydrogel product functional benchmarking, using equine synovial fluid as a biological control. Specifically, the retained experimental methodology enabled the authors to robustly assess and discuss various functional enhancement options for hyaluronan-based hydrogels (chemical cross-linking and addition of antioxidant stabilizing agents). The results showed that the Innoryos product, a niacinamide-augmented linear hyaluronan-based hydrogel, presented the best overall functional behavior in the retained experimental settings (high adhesivity and lubricity and substantial resistance to oxidative degradation). The Ostenil product was conversely shown to present less desirable functional properties for viscosupplementation compared to the other investigated products. Generally, this study confirmed the high importance of formulation development and control methodology optimization, aiming for the enhancement of novel OA-targeting product critical functional attributes and the probability of their clinical success. Overall, this work confirmed the tangible need for a comprehensive approach to hyaluronan-based viscosupplementation product functional benchmarking (product development and product selection by orthopedists) to maximize the chances of effective clinical OA management.
