Biomedical devices that contact blood and tissue universally inspire a host response that often compromises the function of the device (i.e., intravascular sensors become coated with thrombi, artificial vascular grafts become coated with thrombi, artificial vascular grafts become occluded with thrombus formation and neointimal hyperplasia). Nitric oxide (NO) has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of platelet adhesion and activation and has been implicated in mediating the inflammatory response and promoting would healing. We are currently developing NO-releasing compounds based on S-nitrosothiols derived from substituted aromatic compounds that utilize light as an external on/off trigger capable of releasing precisely controlled surface fluxes of NO. The level of NO generated is dependent on the wavelength and intensity of light shown on the compounds. Data will be presented that show the synthesis and NO-release properties of three novel compounds, S-nitroso-2-methoxybenzene, S-nitroso-3-methoxybenzene and S-nitroso-2-chlorobenzene. Ultimately, these compounds will be tethered to the surface of polymer fillers that will then be blended into hydrophobic polymers and used as coatings on biomedical devices. A model system that will be used to demonstrate the utility of this approach will be a multi-element fiber optic sensors that will contain sensing elements capable of measuring blood gases and NO-releasing fibers that locally generate enough NO to inhibit clot formation on the sensor surface, thus allowing the sensor to function reliably in vivo.

In this study, a novel nitric oxide (NO) endogenously releasing polyurethane (PU) material, i.e. PU-g-L-cysteine(PU-Cys), was synthesized by grafting L-cysteine on the film surface. Fluorescence analysis and a BCA method were used to characterize qualitatively and quantitatively the grafted L-cysteine. The results showed that L-cysteine was successfully immobilized on the PU film surface and the density of L-cysteine grafted was calculated to be 15.3nmol/cm2. The NO releasing behavior study of PU-Cys film demonstrated that endogenous NO could be continuously released from PU-Cys film and the accumulated releasing amount within 3h added up to 1.06nmol/cm2. The releasing rate of NO was well matchable to the self-releasing rate of resting platelets in human body. The results of dynamic blood clotting test and hemolysis ratio measurement showed that PU-Cys film had a better haemocompatibility than PU film, which might be the result of endogenously released NO inhibiting platelet adhesion and thrombus formation. Therefore, PU-Cys with the property of endogenous NO releasing is expected to be an ideal blood compatibility material in clinical application.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of doxycycline-loaded NO-releasing nanomatrix gel on pulp regeneration in replantation of avulsed rat teeth. A total of 28 maxillary first molars extracted from rats were replanted. The rats were divided into two groups based on the use of root surface treatment: doxycycline-loaded NO-releasing nanomatrix group and no treatment. Eight weeks after replantation, the rats were sacrificed, and the teeth were evaluated using histomorphometric analysis. On histomorphometric analysis, the NO-releasing nanomatrix group demonstrated a significantly lower grade of pulp inflammation (1.00 ± 1.11, mean ± standard deviation) compared to the no treatment group (2.21 ± 1.25, p = 0.014). NO-releasing nanomatrix group showed a significantly higher grade of pulp regeneration (2.57 ± 0.85, p = 0.012) and significantly lower grade of pulp inflammation (1.00 ± 0.68, p = 0.025) compared to the no treatment group. In conclusion, NO-releasing nanomatrix gel improved pulp regeneration of replanted teeth, though the sample size of this study was rather small. Within the limits of this study, NO-releasing nanomatrix gel can provide more favorable pulpal regeneration despite replantation.
