HYDROPHILIC QXYGEN PERMEABLE POLYMERS

TITLE

Field Qf Invention This in~ention relates to polymeric materials useful in biomedical devices, especially contact lenses, which are the product of reac~ing mixture comprising o~azolones.

Back~round A number of types of polymeric materials are known to be useful in con~act lens manufacture. In general contact lens 1~ materials can be thought to fall into one of the following classifications: soft hydrophilic, soft, non-hydrophilic, and a more recent development, hard gas permeable. Gas permeable ma~ials typically comprise polymeric materials formed by ~op~l~merizing polyorganosilosane monomers with various other 1~ monomers. These polymeric materials possess high o~ygen permeabilities which make them particularly attractive as contact lens materials. In general, they are not as hydrophilic as the soft hydrophilic materials, and thus they are not as easily ~wetted~. These soft, non-hydrogels are illustrated by the following patents:
U.S. Patent No. 4,153,641 disclosas acrylate functional ~ldcapped polyorganosilo~anes which can be polymerized to form high oxygen permeable polymeric networks, or which can be ~op~lymerized with other monomers to form high oxygen permeable copolymers. Specific comonomers disclosed include low esters o~ acrylic acid, a methacrylic acid, styryls and N-vlnyl Qyrrolidinone.
U~S~ Patent No. 4,208,506 discloses soft contact lenses m~de rom polymers and copolymers comprising polyparaffinsilo~ane polymers and copolymers formed by polymerizing a polyparaffinsilosane monomer alpha, o~ega ta~minally bonded through divalent hydrocarbon groups to pol~merized, free radical polymerizably activated, unsaturated groups forming a polymer in a crosslinked netwo~k.
3~ Additionally, specific comonomers are disclosed which include lower esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid, styryls and 1 3 1 07~3 N-vinyl pyrro1iainone which may be copolymerized with the above-described polypara~finsilo~ane monomer to form a copolymer.
U.S~ Patent No. 4~3~ 72 discloses polysiloxanyl alkyl ~sters of acrylic and methacrylic acids and its copolymerization with alkyl esters of acrylic, methacrylic acids and~or itaconat~ esters to produce highly permeable contact lens material. The copolymer preferably includes a crosslin~ing agent and hydrophilic monomer. Contact lenses manufactured from the material are easily machined and polished into hard or semi-hard contact lenses having e~cellent dimensional stability.
U.S. patent No. 4,330,383 discloses improved contact lens materials are obtained from copolymers containing a siloxanyl alkyl ester vinyl monomer by esposing the materials to high energy radiation thereby reducing the amount of unreacted monomer and residual contaminants.
U.S. Patent No. 4,327,203 discloses articles for biomedical applications made from a polymer formed by polymerizing (a) one or more polysiloxane monomers alpha, omega terminally bonded thro~yh divalent hydrocarbon groups to an activated, unsaturated group with (b) a cycloalkyl modulus modifier, e.g.
tertiary butylcyclohesyl methacrylate, menthyl acrylate or methylisopentyl cyclooctyl acrylate, and (c~ a tear film stabilizer. The products are useful as hard contact lenses.
U.S. Patent ~o. 4,341,889 discloses the modulus modifier above can be tertiary butyl styrene. U.S. Patent No. 4,355,147 discloses the modulus modiier above can be a polycyclic acrylate or methacrylate such as isobornyl methacrylate, 3a adamantyl acrylate or isopinocamphyl methacrylate.
U.S. Patent ~o. 4,652,622 discloses polymeric materials comprised o~ mo~omeric polysilo~anes end capped with activated unsaturated groups, a modulus modi~ier and small amounts of an internal w~tting agent such as N-alkenoyltrialkylsilyl aminate.

Detailed DescriRtion of the Invention The invention relates to polymeric materials which are particularly useful in contact lenses formed by polymerizing a misture comprising:
a compound represented ~y the general formula ,~
Rl N \ ~ o R3 ~ R4 where Rl and R2 independently denote a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl radical with one to si~ carbon atoms, and R3 and R4 independently denote alkyl radicals with one to six carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl radical with 5 or 6 carbon atoms.

1~ Speci~ic e~amples of these compounds include 2-isopropenyl-4,4-dimethyl-~~o~a~olin-5-one (IPDMO), ~-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolin-5-one (VDMO~, spiro-4'-(~' isopropenyl-2'-o~azolin-5-one~ cyclohexane (IPCO), cyclohe~ane-spiro~4'-(2' Vinyl-2' o~azol-5'-one) (VCO), and 1~ 2-(-1-propenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-o~azol-5-one (PDMO~.
These compounds have two important features which make them par~icularly preferred comonomers with acrylate or methacrylate ~unctional pol~silo~ane monomers: (1) They are relatively nonpolar and ara thus highly compatible with polysilo~ane ~a mon~m~rs thus forming optically clear monomer mi~tures and polymers, and ~2~ They are converted to highly polar amino acids upon mild hydrolysis. Thus they can be copolymerized into a hydrophobic polymeric matris and then hydrolyzed to render the matri~ substantially hydrophilic.

13tO7~

These compounds are prepared by the general reaction sequence:

J\
O R3 R9 NaOH R2 \/ \j3 R2 ~/ Cl + H2N COOH H~0 J t Rl 0C Rl COOH
~I~ (II) Il \
Cl COC2Hs ~ o Hexane Rl ~ ~ O
/\

The first step being a Shotten-Bauman acylation of an amino acid. The polymerizable functionality is introduced by using either acryloyl or methacryloyl chloride. The second step ~nvolves a ring closure with a chloroformate to yield the desired osazalone. The product is isolated and purified by the usual procadures o organic chemistry.
The compounds can be copolymerized with hydrophobic 1~ polysilo~ane monomers to form polymeric materials which have hlyh o~ygen permea~ilities~ Th~se polymeric materials may then be hydrolyzed in order to convert the o~azolone components into 1 3 1 07()~3 amino acids. In general, the hydrolysis step will follow the general reaction of:

R2 R2 o ~ H+ ~
Rl N ~Lo + H20 ~ Rl NH O
~ or O~~ ll R3 R4 R3 ~ ~ OH

This reaction occurs mainly on the surface of the polymeric material and renders said surface hydrophilic. This hydrophilic surface is substantive due to the fact that the polymer network has been previously reacted with the carbon-carbon double bond between the Rl and R~ radicals (the schematic reaction above shows the double bond unreacted).
Thus the above compounds can be referred to as wetting agents.
1~ These wetting agents are far superior to state of the art internal wetting agents by virtue of their mis~bility with polysilo~ane monomers. Thus, they can be copolymerized in greater proportion than the state of the art wetting agents yielding materials which have hydrophilic surfaces.
1~ Particularly useful hydrophobic monomers which can be copolymerized with the above wetting agents are acrylate or methacrylate functional endcapped polysiloxanes represented by the general formula:
~ CN2 -- --t 1i o ~ (CH2 Y
- R6 ~ m 1 3 1 07~3 Where A denotes an acrylate or methacrylate radical, R5 and R6 independently denote alkyl radicals with one to si~ carbon atoms or phenyl radicals, ~ and y are on the averag~ one to si~, and m is at least one. In general the oxygen permeability o.f the copolymers will increase as the degree of polymerization of the polysilo~ane monomer increases. However, as the degree of polymerization of the monomer increases, the copolymeric matri~ will become more elastomeric. Toughening agents can be added to the prepolymerization mi~ture to add strength to the 1~ polymeric material.
Toughening agents are selected from the group comprising tertiary butyl styrene, cycloalkyl toughening agents, ~luorinated methacrylate toughening agents, and polycyclic toughening agents.
The end-caps of the polymers used in the present invention besides being methacryl functional may also be end capped with any activated unsaturated group. The term ~activated unsaturated group" refers to a group which has a substituent which functions through resonance to increase the free radical ~a stability or activity of the double bond, thereby facilitating free radical polymerization of the monomer. These activated unsaturated qroups become polymerized to form a polymer with a crosslinked three-dimensional network. Preferably the dctivating groups present are such that the monomers lend thamselves to polymerization under mild conditions, such as ambient temperature. Preferred activating groups include:
2-cyanoacrylosy, acrylonitryl, acryloamin;do, acryloxy, mathacrylo~y, styryl and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone-~-yl where x may be 3, 4 or 5. The most preferred activating groups are m~th~rylosy and acrylo~y.

The cycloalkyl toughening agents are described and defined in U.S. Patent No . 4, 327,203. These agents ar~ a cycloalkyl acrylate or methacrylate of the formula O E
Il I
,C--O--C--C=C~

(CH2)n' wherein E is either hydrogen or methyl D is branched or normal alkyl having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, preferably 3 to 4 carbon atoms Z is either hydrogen or methyl and n is an integer from 3 to 8 and preferably from 4 to 6.

1~ Illustrative of the foregoing cycloalkyl toughening agents are the following: Menthyl methacrylate, menthyl acrylate, tertiarybutylcyclohe~yl methacrylate, isopropylcyclopentyl acrylate, tertiarypentylcycloheptyl methacrylate, tertiarybutylcyclohexyl acrylate, isohe~ylcyclopentyl acrylate 1~ and methylisopentyl cyclooctyl acrylate.
The polycyclic toughening agents are described and defined in U.S. Patent No. 4,355,147. These agents are a polycyclic acrylate or methacrylate selected from the group consisting of isobornyl acrylate, isobornyl methacrylate, dicyclopentadienyl -~a acrylate, dicyclopentadienyl methacrylate, adamantyl acrylate, adamantyl methacrylate isopinocamphyl acrylate and ~opinocamphyl methacrylate.
Illustrative of the fluorinated methacrylate toughening ag~nts are: octa1uoropentylmethacrylate, trifluoromethylmethacrylate, pentafluoroethyl methacrylate, and the like.

The toughening agent may be present in an amount from go to 10 parts by weight per 10 to 90 parts by weight of the above-described monomers. More preferably the modifier is present in the amount of 70 to 10 parts, more preferably yet the modifier is 45 to 15 parts.
The polymeric mat~rials of the prssent invention are ~ormed by: (1) mi~inq the monomers together; (2) adding a polymerization initiator; (3) subjecting the monomer/initiator misture to a source of ultraviolet or actinic radiation and la curing said mi~ture to a solid or elastomeric state.
Typical polymerization initiators include free radical generating polyme.ization initiators of the type illustrated by acetyl pero~ide, lauroyl pero~ide, decanoyl pero~ide, coprylyl pero~ide, ~enzoyl peroxide, tertiary butyl 1~ pero~ypivalate, diisopropyl peroxycarbonate, tertiary butyl peroctoate, and ~,d~-azobis-isobutynnitrile. VltraYiolet ~ree radical initiators illustrated by dietho~yacetophenone can also be used. The curing process will of course depend upon the initiator used and the physical ch2racteristics of 2~ the comonomer mi~ture such as viscosity. In any event, the level of initiator employed will vary within the range of 0.01 to 2 weight percent of the mi2ture of monomers.
Typical formulations will comprise 1 to 98 weight percent polysilo~ane monomer, 1 to 50 weight percent of the novel w~tting agents, and 1 to 80 weight percent toughening agent.
Pre~erably, the composition will comprise 60 to 95 weight percent polysilo~ane monomer, 4 to 20 weight percent tough~ning agent and 1 to 20 weight percent of the novel w~tting agent.
