Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bio-adhesive supramacromolecular complex of the general formula: wherein R 1 is independently selected from the group consisting of an alkane unsubstituted or substituted with alkoxy groups; R 2 is independently selected from the group consisting of C1-6 alkyl; R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted aliphatic or aromatic alkyl; R 5 is independently selected from the group consisting of H or C1-6 alkyl; W is a hydrogen-bond accepting functional group-containing entity; Y is a carboxylic acid ester or amide linkage; R is an independently selected peptide linking group; T 1 , T 2 , T 3 and T 4 are independently selected polymer residues; and m 1 , m 2 , m 3 , n 1 and n 2 are integers selected from at least 25; and wherein P has a molecular weight of about 1×10 3 to 1×10 7 and Q has a molecular weight of about 1×10 3 to 1×10 7 . The complex provides controlled nitric oxide release over a longer period of time than prior art compounds in the locally delivery systems. Novel compositions, methods of preparation, apparatus including layer-by-layer assemblies coating, electrospinning and ultrasonic atomization, skin coverings containing and medical use of the complexes are described.
