Covalent Grafting of the RGD-Peptide onto Polyetheretherketone Surfaces via Schiff Base Formation
In recent years, the synthetic polymer polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has increasingly been used in a number of orthopedic implementations, due to its excellent mechanical properties, bioinertness, and chemical resistance. For in vivo applications, the surface of PEEK, which does not naturally support cell adhesion, has to be modified to improve tissue integration. In the present work we demonstra...
متن کاملProbing the chemical structure of monolayer covalent-organic frameworks grown via Schiff-base condensation reactions.
Two-dimensional covalent-organic frameworks (2D-COFs) on surfaces offer a facile route to new 2D materials. Schiff-base condensation reactions have proven to be an effective fabrication route for such materials. We present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies of porphyrin 2D-COFs grown at a solid-vapour interface. XPS shows that covalent links b...
متن کاملCyclic RGD-Containing Peptide Prevents Neointima Formation
Background RGD-containing peptides are able to prevent binding of ligands to certain integrins such as a!IIb3 (glycoprotein Ilb/llla) and C4a33 and as such are inhibitors for platelet aggregation and smooth muscle cell migration, both of which are involved in neointima formation. Methods and Results Hamster carotid arteries were damaged, and neointima formation was determined at different time ...
متن کاملCovalent immobilization of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) onto biomaterial surfaces.
Bacterial adhesion to biomaterials remains a major problem in the medical devices field. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are well-known components of the innate immune system that can be applied to overcome biofilm-associated infections. Their relevance has been increasing as a practical alternative to conventional antibiotics, which are declining in effectiveness. The recent interest focused on ...
متن کاملCopper(II) mediated anion dependent formation of Schiff base complexes.
A tetranuclear mixed ligand copper(II) complex of a pyrazole containing Schiff base and a hydroxyhexahydropyrimidylpyrazole and copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of the Schiff base having N-donor atoms have been investigated. A 2 equiv amount of 5-methyl-3-formylpyrazole (MPA) and 2 equiv of 1,3-diamino-2-propanol (1,3-DAP) on reaction with 1 equiv of copper(II) nitrate produce an unusual tet...
