NITRIC OXIDE-RELEASING DIAZENIUMDIOLATED POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE-BASED POLYMERS, AND COMPOSITIONS, MEDICAL DEVICES, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a nitric oxide-releasing polyvinylpyrrolidone-based polymer derived from N-vinylpyrrolidone monomer and at least one nitric oxide releasing N2O2 - group, in which the N2O2 - group is attached to a 2 pyrrolidinone group or a group derived therefrom in the N-vinylpyrrolidone monomer, and the polymer is optionally in combination with a substrate. The NO-releasing polymer can be part of a medical device or pharmaceutical composition and is useful for treating a biological disorder, such as healing a wound, restenosis, and/or promoting angiogenesis.
