    1) acryloylating the polymer compound comprising at least one of the —COOH, the —NH.sub.2 and the —OH in the structure, namely linking at least one of the —COOH, the —NH.sub.2 and the —OH comprised in the structure of the polymer compound, via an —R— group or directly, to the following group:

    2) reacting at least one of polymer compounds obtained in step 1) with a polysulfhydryl compound HS—R.sub.4—SH to obtain the sulfhydryl-modified polymer compound, wherein R.sub.4 is defined as above.

    [0160] In step 1), the acryloylating step can be performed by reacting the polymer compound to be modified with an acrylate compound, or by reacting the polymer compound to be modified with an acryloyl chloride compound or an acrylic anhydride compound.

    [0161] The acrylate compound may be one or more of an alkyl acrylate compound, an aryl acrylate compound and a glycidyl acrylate polyol compound.

    [0162] The polyol in the glycidyl acrylate polyol compound is, for example, a triol, specifically, glycerin, butanetriol, pentanetriol, and the like.

    [0163] In step 1), the acryloylating step may be a conventional reaction step, which can be performed under existing conventional conditions. Generally, it is performed by reacting acryloyl chloride and derivatives thereof or acrylic anhydride and derivatives thereof with a polymer compound comprising at least one of —OH and —NH.sub.2. It can also be performed by reacting glycidyl acrylate and derivatives thereof with the polymer compound comprising at least one of —COOH, —OH and —NH.sub.2.

    [0164] In step 1), the acryloylating step can be an unconventional reaction step, namely using a method other than the above method to synthesize a polymer compound comprising a structure of formula c.

    [0165] In step 2), the reaction with the polysulfhydryl compound HS—R.sub.4—SH is performed in a solvent. The solvent is, for example, water or an organic solvent, and further can be deionized water or dimethylformamide.

    [0166] In step 2), the reaction with the polysulfhydryl compound HS—R.sub.4—SH is performed under low to high temperature conditions. For example, the reaction temperature is 0-80° C., and further can be 10-70° C., and for example, the reaction can be performed at room temperature.

    [0168] In step 2), the pH range for the reaction with the polysulfhydryl compound HS—R.sub.4—SH is −1 to 15. For example, the reaction pH can be 6-8, and for another example, 7.

    [0169] In step 2), the reaction further comprises a post-treatment step.

    [0170] In the post-treatment step, a dialysis method is adopted. Specifically, the solution after the reaction is filled into a dialysis bag (for example, a dialysis bag with a molecular weight cutoff of 2 kDa or more), dialyzed against a hydrochloric acid solution (for example, at pH 4) for several days (for example, 1-10 days, for another example, 5 days, and the like), optionally refreshed with water (for example, refreshed with water every day or every other day) for several times (for example, twice or more, and the like), and finally collected and dried (for example, lyophilized) to obtain a solid or viscous liquid, i.e., the sulfhydryl-modified polymer compound.

    [0171] The present disclosure firstly provides a preparation method for the sulfhydryl-modified polymer compound by the Michael addition reaction of the sulfhydryl of the polysulfhydryl compound with the carbon-carbon double bond in the acryloyl group. The method has a high degree of sulfhydrylation, mild conditions for the sulfhydrylation reaction (can be performed at room temperature in an aqueous solution) and no pollution, and the prepared sulfhydryl-modified polymer compound has high purity and is particularly suitable for further use in the fields such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetology and medicine.

    [Application of Sulfhydryl-Modified Polymer Compound]

    [0172] As described above, the sulfhydryl-modified polymer compound of the present disclosure has a high degree of sulfhydrylation, and is suitable for any existing application field of the sulfhydryl-modified polymer compound. Specifically, it can be used in the fields such as antioxidation health care products, biopharmaceuticals, medical cosmetology and cosmetics (e.g., at least one of antioxidation cosmetics, water retention and moisture supplement cosmetics).

    [0173] Taking sulfhydryl-modified hyaluronic acid as an example, it is known that hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear, non-branched macromolecular acidic mucopolysaccharide polymer composed of repeated and alternating linkages of disaccharides (the structural units are β-(1,4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and β-(1,3)-D-glucuronic acid). The chain length of HA varies from about 5 kDa to 20 MDa, with the range from 2 MDa to 5 MDa being the most common. More than 50% of hyaluronic acid is present in skin, lung and intestinal tissue. In addition, it is also present in interstitial tissues such as synovial fluid, cartilage, umbilical cord, and vascular wall. Hyaluronic acid in the human body mainly exerts physiological functions such as lubrication and buffering, filling and diffusion barrier, and free radical removal. Currently marketed hyaluronic acid products can be extracted from animal tissues (such as cockscomb, lens, cerebral cartilage and synovial fluid), or prepared by the fermentation of bacteria (such as Streptococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). In recent years, with the in-depth research on the functions of HA, HA has been widely used in the pharmaceutical field, such as for the preparation of drug delivery systems, for the treatment of orthopedic and ophthalmic diseases, and for the prevention of post-operative adhesions and the repairing of soft tissues, which has become a research hot spot in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Although natural HA has excellent biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory effects, it has poor mechanical strength and degradability when in a pure state. Therefore, as a scaffold material for tissue engineering, HA must be chemically modified in a suitable way or used in combination with other materials to improve those deficiencies, to better exert its biological effects, and to provide a good environment for the survival and function of cells and the repairing and regeneration of tissues. The present disclosure will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are merely intended to illustrate the present disclosure rather than limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. In addition, it should be understood that various changes or modifications may be made by those skilled in the art after reading the teachings of present disclosure, and these equivalents also fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
