Abstract
The synthesis and application as resorbable coatings of vascular grafts of a new polyacrylic derivative of Triflusal (2-acetyloxy-4-trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, a commercial drug with antithrombogenic properties, are described. The high-molecular-weight polyacrylic system is rather stable in physiological conditions and provides a chemical support for the slow release of the pharmacologically active compound, Triflusal, or its main metabolite (2-hydroxy-4-trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (HTB). Experiments of deposition and retention of platelets in static basal conditions using plasma-rich medium from blood of sheep, seem to indicate that the polymeric coating of the polyacrylic derivative of Triflusal improves the antiaggregating character for platelets of the surface of small-diameter vascular grafts without the application of other antithrombogenic drugs.
