Definitions
- Medical devices are made from a variety of materials, including synthetic polymers, ceramics, glass, and metals.
- the body may recognize the medical device as a foreign body, which may impair the function of the medical device or affect the body.
- a component in the blood may recognize the medical device as a foreign body, activating the biological defense function of the component and causing a blood clot.
- attention has been focused on imparting biocompatibility to the surface of medical devices using biocompatible synthetic polymers (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1 discloses the use of a polymer having structural units derived from 2-methoxyethyl acrylate as a biocompatible medical material.
- hydrophobic substrates such as polyolefin substrates are commonly used as substrates for medical devices.
- the biocompatible synthetic polymer may not adhere to the substrate surface, making it impossible to impart biocompatibility to the surface of the medical device.
- a process of surface modification of the substrate is required, and there is a concern that the manufacturing process of the medical device may become complicated.
- the present disclosure has been made in light of these circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a medical coating agent that can impart excellent antithrombotic properties to the surface of a hydrophobic substrate.
- the present inventors have conducted extensive research to solve the above problems and have discovered that by introducing a specific structural unit into a biocompatible polymer, it is possible to improve the adhesion between the polymer and a hydrophobic substrate while maintaining the antithrombotic properties of the polymer. Specifically, the present disclosure provides the following means.
- M1 structural unit derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urethane bond or a urea bond
- M2 structural unit derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an alkyl group (excluding alkyl groups in alkoxyalkyl groups) or an alkoxyalkyl group, the SP value of the homopolymer being 10.0 or less.
- the structural unit (M2) is derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylic acid alkyl esters having an alkyl group having 3 or more carbon atoms and (meth)acrylic acid alkoxyalkyl esters having 5 or more carbon atoms.
- the content of the structural unit (M2) is 10 mass % or more based on all structural units contained in the polymer.
- a medical device comprising a substrate coated with the medical coating agent according to any one of [1] to [8] above.
- the substrate is a polyolefin substrate.
- the medical coating agent disclosed herein can impart excellent antithrombotic properties to the surface of a hydrophobic substrate.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a DSC curve of a polymer containing intermediate water during hydration in a saturated water-containing state.
- (meth)acrylic means acrylic and/or methacrylic
- (meth)acrylate means acrylate and/or methacrylate
- the medical coating agent of the present disclosure contains a polymer (hereinafter also referred to as “polymer (P)”) that includes a structural unit (M1) derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urethane bond or a urea bond, and a structural unit (M2) derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having an alkyl group (excluding alkyl groups in alkoxyalkyl groups) or an alkoxyalkyl group, and the SP value of the homopolymer is 10.0 or less.
- P polymer
- the polymer (P) may contain the structural unit (M1) and the structural unit (M2).
- the polymer (P) is preferably a (meth)acrylic polymer in terms of being able to easily increase the reaction rate of the monomer and being easy to produce industrially.
- the polymer (P) is preferably such that the proportion of structural units derived from (meth)acrylic monomers in all structural units derived from the monomers constituting the polymer (P) exceeds 50% by mass, more preferably 60% by mass or more, even more preferably 70% by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more.
- the structural unit (M1) contained in the polymer (P) is a structural unit derived from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a urethane bond or a urea bond (hereinafter, also referred to as "monomer (A1)"). Since the polymer (P) contains the structural unit (M1), it becomes in a state containing a large amount of intermediate water upon hydration, and it is considered that this causes the polymer (P) to exhibit good antithrombotic properties.
- the water that interacts with the polymer (P) can take three forms, “free water,” “nonfreezing water,” and “intermediate water,” depending on the strength of the interaction with the polymer.
- “free water” refers to water that has a weak interaction with the polymer and a freezing point of 0°C.
- Nonfreezing water refers to water that has a strong interaction with the polymer and no detectable freezing point.
- “Intermediate water” refers to water that has an intermediate interaction with the polymer between free water and nonfreezing water (i.e., that interacts relatively slowly with the polymer) and has a freezing point below 0°C. It is believed that the biocompatibility of a polymer is related to the presence of intermediate water in a hydrated polymer (see, for example, paragraphs 0003 and 0004 of JP 2016-35000 A).
- the body's defense mechanism when cells in the body recognize a foreign body, the body's defense mechanism is activated, causing a rejection reaction. Therefore, when a medical device comes into contact with biological components or tissues during treatment or surgery, if the body recognizes the medical device as a foreign body, the body's defense mechanism will be activated and this may interfere with treatment. For example, if a medical device comes into contact with blood, the body's defense mechanism will be activated and a blood clot will be formed, inhibiting the function of the medical device and affecting the body.
- polymers that have intermediate water on their surface are less likely to be recognized as foreign bodies by the body, and are thought to exhibit excellent antithrombotic properties.
- platelets and fibrinogen are known as blood components involved in the formation of thrombi.
- Platelets are blood cells that are activated by foreign matter and form thrombi (platelet thrombi) by aggregating on the foreign matter, and contribute to primary hemostasis in the process of hemostasis.
- Fibrinogen which is coagulation factor I, is a protein that is converted to fibrin in the final stage of blood clotting to form coagulated thrombi, and contributes to secondary hemostasis in the process of hemostasis.
- This fibrinogen is one of the main components in blood that is involved in the formation of thrombi, and it is considered that one of the important factors for imparting biocompatibility (more specifically, antithrombotic properties) to medical devices is that fibrinogen is less likely to be adsorbed onto polymers.
- polymers containing the structural unit (M1) are likely to retain intermediate water during hydration, which can be said to sufficiently suppress the adsorption of fibrinogen to the polymer.
