Poly-2-methyl-2-oxazoline: A Peptide-like Polymer for Protein-Repellent Surfaces

Konradi, Rupert, Pidhatika, Bidhari, Mühlebach, Andreas, Textor, Marcus·2008·Langmuir

Abstract

Surface coatings with so-called protein-repellent or nonfouling polymers have become indispensable for the development of modern therapeutic and diagnostic medical devices such as biosensors, drug-delivery capsules, and biomedical implants. Nowadays, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is routinely used for these purposes. However, there is increasing evidence that PEG has limited long-term stability, particularly in vivo. Here we investigate poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (PMOXA) as a potential alternative polymer. We designed comb copolymers consisting of a polycationic poly(l-lysine) backbone and PMOXA side chains by analogy to precisely studied and highly protein-repellent PEG-based systems. Using optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy, we quantitatively compare the in situ self-assembly of the comb copolymers on negatively charged surfaces and the exposure of the formed monolayers to full human serum. We find that the PMOXA-based coatings with an optimal side-chain grafting density eliminate protein adsorption to a level of <2 ng/cm2; that is, they quantitatively equal the protein-repellent properties of the best PEG-based coatings.

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.
