Abstract

The current state-of-the-art with respect to the preparation, characterization and biomedical applications of novel nitric oxide (NO) releasing or generating polymeric materials is reviewed. Such materials show exceptional promise as coatings to prepare a new generation of medical devices with superior biocompatiblity. Nitric oxide is a well-known inhibitor of platelet adhesion and activation, as well as a potent inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Hence, polymers that release or generate NO locally at their surface exhibit greatly enhanced thromboresistivity and have the potential to reduce neointimal hyperplasia caused by device damage to blood vessel walls. In this review, the use of diazeniumdiolates and nitrosothiols as NO donors within a variety polymeric matrixes are summarized. Such species can either be doped as discrete NO donors within polymeric films, or covalently linked to polymer backbones and/or inorganic polymeric filler particles that are often employed to enhance the strength of biomedical polymers (e.g., fumed silica or titanium dioxide). In addition, very recent efforts to create catalytic polymers possessing immobilized Cu(II) sites capable of generating NO from endogenous oxidized forms of NO already present in blood and other physiological fluids (nitrite and nitrosothiols) are discussed. Preliminary literature data illustrating the efficacy of the various NO release/generating polymers as coatings for intravascular sensors, extracorporeal blood loop circuits, and arteriovenous grafts/shunts are reviewed.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Three main strategies for increasing NO bioavailability are exercise/diet, drugs that alter enzymatic NO production, and modified polymeric materials that deliver NO exogenously.

    “There are three main strategies for increasing NO bioavailability: 1) by participating in physical exercise and controlling certain dietary components (e.g., nitrate-rich diet);132,133 2) by administrating drugs that alter the enzymatic production of NO through nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) and increase the biosynthesis of NO endogenously;117 and 3) by using modified polymeric materials that can”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
