Abstract

The preparation and characterization of a commercial biomedical-grade polyurethane (Tecophilic((R)), SP-93A-100) material possessing covalently linked copper(II)-cyclen moieties as a nitric oxide (NO) generating polymer are described. Chemiluminescence NO measurements demonstrate that the prepared polymer can decompose endogenous S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) such as S-nitrosoglutathione and S-nitrosocysteine to NO in the presence of thiol reducing agents (RSHs; e.g., glutathione and cysteine) at physiological pH. Since such RSNO and RSH species already exist in blood, the proposed polymer is capable of spontaneously generating NO when in contact with fresh blood. This is demonstrated by utilizing the polymer as an outer coating at the distal end of an amperometric NO sensor to create a device that generates response toward the RSNO species in the blood. This polymer possesses the combined benefits of a commercial biomedical-grade polyurethane with the ability to generate biologically active NO when in contact with blood, and thus may serve as a useful coating to improve the hemocompatibility of various medical devices.

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.
