Este trabalho descreve as propriedades biológicas in vitro de três redes epoxídicas à base do éter diglicidílico do glicerol (DGEG) curadas com poli(oxipropileno) diamina (D230), isoforona diamina (IPD) e 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dimetil-diciclohexilmetano (3DCM). As interações biológicas entre os polímeros e o sangue foram estudadas por ensaios biológicos in vitro. Estudos de adsorção de proteínas, adesão de plaquetas, atividade do lactato desidrogenase (LDH) e propriedades de tromboresistência estão apresentados. Os ensaios de adsorção de proteínas na superfície dos polímeros mostrou que as redes epoxídicas adsorvem mais albumina do que fibrinogênio. Os resultados relacionados à adesão de plaquetas, atividade do lactato hidrogenase e propriedades de tromboresistência indicaram que as redes DGEG/IPD e DGEG/3DCM exibem comportamento hemocompatível. Desta maneira, assumimos que estes polímeros epoxídicos são materiais compatíveis com o sangue.Palavras chave: hemopatibilidade, adsorção proteica, polímeros epoxídicos. _____________________________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACTThis work describes the in vitro biological properties of three epoxy networks based on diglycidyl ether of glycerol (DGEG) cured with poly(oxypropylene) diamine (D230), isophorone diamine (IPD) and 4,4'-diamino-3,3'-dimethyl-dicyclohexylmethano (3DCM). The biological interactions between epoxy polymers and blood were studied by in vitro assays. Studies of the protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and thromboresistance properties are presented. The protein adsorption assays onto polymeric surfaces showed that the epoxy networks adsorbed more albumin than fibrinogen. The results about platelet adhesion, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and thromboresistance properties indicated that the DGEG/IPD and DGEG/3DCM networks show hemocompatible behavior. In this way, we can assume that these epoxy polymers are blood compatible materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
