A conjugate between an anti-thrombotic agent and a bioabsorbable polymer is provided. In addition, a method is provided for applying a coating comprising an anti-thrombotic agent and a bioabsorbable polymer conjugate to at least a portion of an implantable device to prevent or reduce the formation of thrombosis on the surface of the device. A first or sub-layer of the coating is prepared by mixing a polymeric material and a biologically active agent with a solvent, thereby forming a homogeneous solution. A second or outer layer comprises an anti-thrombotic heparin-bioabsorbable polymer conjugate. This coating may be applied over the inner drug-containing layers using, for example, a dip coating or spray coating process. After drying, the anti-thrombotic heparin bioabsorbable polymer conjugate remains in the outer layer of the coating, allowing agent from the inner layer to be eluted there through. In addition, the outmost layer prevents the formation of thrombosis, and also serves to modulate the release kinetics of the agent(s) contained within an inner layer(s) of the coating.
本发明提供了一种抗血栓药物与生物可吸收聚合物的共轭物。此外,还提供了一种方法,用于将包含抗血栓药剂和生物可吸收聚合物共轭物的涂层涂在植入式装置的至少一部分上,以防止或减少装置表面血栓的形成。涂层的第一层或底层是通过将聚合物材料和生物活性剂与溶剂混合,从而形成均匀的溶液来制备的。第二层或外层包括抗血栓肝素-生物可吸收聚合物共轭物。该涂层可通过浸涂或喷涂等工艺涂覆在含药内层上。干燥后,抗血栓肝素-生物可吸收聚合物共轭物仍留在涂层外层,使内层的药剂通过该层洗脱出来。此外,最外层可防止血栓形成,还可调节涂层内层所含药剂的释放动力学。
