Phosphorus-Containing Polymers: A Great Opportunity for the Biomedical Field

Abstract: This Review is focused on the growing interest brought to phosphorus-containing organic materials for applications in the biomedical field, mainly because of their properties such as biocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and protein adsorption resistance. It mainly describes relevant works achieved on these materials for various applications: dentistry, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery. Special attention was given to 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) monomer as the latter appeared of great … Show more

“…1) in the coating constructs to minimise interactions between islets and the environment. The PC moiety, which is a component of plasma cell membranes, confers hydrophilicity, haemocompatibility and resistance to non-specific protein absorption, thus inhibiting the development of fibrosis, supporting endothelial cell growth [36] and also carrying anticoagulatory properties [37,38], all of which should enhance islet survival in vivo and encourage host integration. In addition, the 40% amine group content of the PC modification for chitosan increased the solubility of the polysaccharide up to about 2 mg/ml under physiological pH conditions (pH∼7.0).…”

“…[1][2][3] Phosphorous polymers are mostly obtained by the incorporation of phosphorous group such as phosphate, phosphonate, or their corresponding acids into the macromolecular chain. 1,4 However, the low pKa 2 value of phosphonic acid and the hydrolyzable phosphate or phosphoric acid could limit their use for medicinal applications.…”

“…PC-containing polymers have been widely used in various biomedical applications including contact lenses coatings, drug delivery systems, biochip-based diagnosis systems, bloodcontacting medical devices, and tissue engineering devices [21][22][23][24]. When functional hypercoiling polymers are combined with film-forming lipids they associate to produce lipidpolymer nanostructures analogous to naturally occurring lipoprotein assemblies in the form of flattened disk-like molecular assemblies.…”
