✦ Synopsis
Polyetherurethaneureas carrying tertiary amino groups in the side chains were synthesized, quaternized, and heparinized. The adsorption of plasma proteins to the polyurethane derivatives was investigated using Fourier-transform infrared, surface fluorescence, ultraviolet, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Bovine y-globulin and bovine plasma fibrinogen were easily adsorbed to hydrophobic polyurethanes and denatured. It was found that the /3 structure was generated during the irre-versible conformational change of the proteins on adsorption to hydrophobic polyurethane materials. On the other hand, bovine serum albumin was easily adsorbed to hydrophilic quaternized and heparinized polyurethanes without a serious conformational change. The conclusion was drawn that a polymer material that selectively adsorbs bovine serum albumin in a native state could be antithrombogenic.
