Micronized placental compositions comprising a chelator
Provided herein are micronized placental compositions composed of micronized placental tissue component, such as amnion or chorion and/or filler bound to one or more chelating agents, which in turn are optionally bound, reversibly, to pharmacologically active metal ions. Further provided are methods of making and using the placental compositions. The compositions have numerous therapeutic applications.
1. A composition comprising
i) a micronized placental tissue component;
ii) one or more chelating moieties; and
iii) optionally, a biologically compatible filler;
wherein the one or more chelating moieties are covalently bound to the placental tissue component and/or the filler, when the filler is present; and
wherein a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmacologically active metal ion is chelated to the one or more chelating moieties.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the placental tissue component and/or filler is homologously cross-linked.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the placental tissue component and/or filler is heterologously cross-linked.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the filler is present in said composition and is a biologically compatible polymer.
5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the biologically compatible polymer is selected from the group consisting of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and a plasticizer.
6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of micronized placental tissue component to filler is between 1:99 and 99:1.
7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the chelating moieties cross-link the placental tissue component and/or the filler.
8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more chelating moieties do not cross-link the placental tissue component.
9. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmacologically active metal ion is in an anticancer agent.
11. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the anticancer agent comprises a platinum ion.
12. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the anticancer agent is cisplatin.
13. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition provides a sustained release of the metal ion.
14. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is molded.
15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the micronized placental tissue component is micronized amnion.
16. The composition of claim 15 , further comprising micronized chorion, Wharton's jelly, and/or micronized intermediate tissue layer.
17. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the micronized placental tissue component is micronized chorion.
18. A composition comprising
i) micronized amnion;
ii) a biologically compatible filler;
iii) a biologically compatible plasticizer; and
iv) one or more chelating moieties;
wherein the one or more chelating moieties are covalently bound to the micronized amnion and/or the filler; and
wherein a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmacologically active metal ion is chelated to the one or more chelating moieties.
19. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the filler comprises bone particles.
