Popis: Protein adsorption and platelet activation on biomedical devices contacting blood may lead to the formation of thrombus. The thrombogenicity of biomaterials could be minimized or prevented by anchoring a cell membrane mimetic antifouling coating (CMMAC). Here, we report the construction of a CMMAC by a newly designed 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) copolymer (PMPCC) containing 5-20 carboxylic long arm side chains. The long arm provides its end carboxylic group with more freedom and a larger reaction space for an easier and more efficient surface anchoring. With the assistance of mussel-inspired universal adhesive polydopamine (PDA), different material surfaces precoated with PDA can immobilize the PMPCC via multipoint anchoring of the randomly distributed carboxylic side chains. The multipoint anchoring results in a stabilized and condensed PDA-PMPCC coating. The phosphorylcholine zwitterions of the densely immobilized PMPCC polymers form a cell outer membrane mimetic interface in an aqueous environment, endowing excellent properties of resisting protein adsorption, platelet activation and blood cell adhesion. More importantly, the PDA-PMPCC-coated glass surface can suppress thrombus formation for more than 24 h, while the bare glass surface forms obvious thrombus in 6 h tested in the same blood. Furthermore, the fabrication of the PDA-PMPCC coating is simple and material-independent. Therefore, the simple synthesis, facile surface coating and excellent hemocompatibility of the PMPCC make it a promising material for biomimetic surface modification.
