Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A prodrug comprising a heparin and a drug is provided. The prodrug can be used to form a coating on a medical device. The prodrug can also be used with a polymeric material to form a coating on a medical device. The polymeric material can be a hydrophobic polymer, a hydrophilic polymer, a non-fouling polymer, or combinations thereof. The medical device can be implanted in a human being for the treatment of a disease such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, restenosis, hemorrhage, vascular dissection or perforation, vascular aneurysm, vulnerable plaque, chronic total occlusion, claudication, anastomotic proliferation for vein and artificial grafts, bile duct obstruction, ureter obstruction, tumor obstruction, or combinations thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A coating composition comprising: a prodrug, the prodrug comprising a drug, heparin, and a first polymer, wherein the heparin is linked covalently to the first polymer and the drug, wherein the covalent linkage between the drug and the heparin is either hydrolytically or enzymatically unstable, wherein the drug is not pharmacologically active when linked to the heparin, and wherein the first polymer is selected from the group consisting of poly(L-lysine-co-hyaluronic acid) (PLL-co-HA), poly(L-lysine-co-phosphoryl choline) (PLL-co-PC), poly(ethylimine-co-hyaluronic acid) (PEI-co-HA), poly(ethylimine-co-phosphoryl choline) (PEI-co-PC), poly(L-lysine-g-hyaluronic acid) (PLL-g-HA), poly(L-lysine-g-phosphoryl choline) (PLL-g-PC), poly(ethylimine-g-hyaluronic acid) (PEI-g-HA), and poly(ethylimine-g-phosphoryl choline) (PEI-g-PC). 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the drug is selected from the group consisting of antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, and antimitotic drugs and combinations thereof. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the drug is selected from the group consisting of paclitaxel, docetaxel, rapamycin, rapamycin derivatives, 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethyl-rapamycin (everolimus), 40-O-(3-hydroxy)propyl-rapamycin, 40-O-[2-(2-hydroxy)ethoxy]ethyl-rapamycin, and 40-O-tetrazole-rapamycin, (ABT-578, zotarolimus) and combinations thereof. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the heparin is a pentasaccharide. 5. The composition of claim 3 , further comprising a second polymer selected from the group consisting of a hydrophilic polymer, a hydrophobic polymer, a non-fouling polymer, and combinations thereof. 6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the drug is linked directly to the first polymer. 7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the heparin is a pentasaccharide. 8. The composition of claim 7 , further comprising a second polymer selected from the group consisting of a hydrophilic polymer, a hydrophobic polymer, a non-fouling polymer, and combinations thereof. 9. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a second polymer selected from the group consisting of a hydrophilic polymer, a hydrophobic polymer, a non-fouling polymer, and combinations thereof.
