ABSTRACT
We have developed a one-pot synthesis of bio-carbon nanowires from the natural product sodium alginate at low temperature, without using any catalyst, for anticoagulation applications. Sodium alginate is carbonized and sulfated/sulfonated in situ by solid state heating of a mixture of sodium alginate and ammonium sulfite. By regulating the heating temperature and the ratio of ammonium sulfite to sodium alginate, we modulated the degree of sulfation/sulfonation and carbonization, as well as the morphology of the carbon nanomaterials. The core-shell sulfated/sulfonated bio-carbon nanowires (CNWsAlg@SOx) made by the reaction of a mixture of ammonium sulfite and sodium alginate with a mass ratio of 5 (ammonium sulfite to sodium alginate) at 165⯰C for 3â¯h, exhibit strong inhibition of thrombin activity due to their ultrahigh binding affinity towards it (dissociation constant (Kd)â¯=â¯8.7â¯×â¯10-11â¯M). The possible formation mechanism of the carbon nanowires has been proposed. The thrombin-clotting time delay caused by CNWsAlg@SOx isâ¯â¼â¯170 times longer than that caused by sodium alginate. Hemolysis and cytotoxicity assays demonstrated the high biocompatibility of CNWsAlg@SOx. Furthermore, the thromboelastography of whole-blood coagulation and rat-tail bleeding assays further reveal that CNWsAlg@SOx have a much stronger anticoagulation activity than sodium alginate and naturally sulfated polysaccharides (e.g., fucoidan). Our results suggest that the low-temperature prepared, cost-effective, and highly biocompatible CNWsAlg@SOx show great potential as an efficient anticoagulant for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with thrombosis.
