ABSTRACT
Thrombosis and infection are 2 major complications associated with central venous catheters (CVCs), resulting in substantial mortality and morbidity. The concurrent long-term administration of antibiotics and anticoagulants to address these complications have been demonstrated to cause severe side effects such as antibiotic resistance and bleeding. To mitigate these complications with minimal or no drug utilization, we developed a bioinspired zwitterionic block polymer-armored nitric oxide (NO)-generating functional coating for surface modification of CVCs. This armor was fabricated by precoating with a Cu-dopamine (DA)/selenocysteamine (SeCA) (Cu-DA/SeCA) network film capable of catalytically generating NO on the CVCs surface, followed by grafting of a zwitterionic p(DMA-b-MPC-b-DMA) polymer brush. The synergistic effects of active attack by NO and copper ions provided by Cu-DA/SeCA network and passive defense by zwitterionic polymer brush imparted the CVCs surface with durable antimicrobial properties and marked inhibition of platelets and fibrinogen. The in vivo studies confirmed that the surface-armored CVCs could effectively reduce inflammation and inhibit thrombosis, indicating a promising potential for clinical applications.
