摘要:Controllable heparin-release is of great importance and necessity for the precise anticoagulant regulation. Efforts have been made on designing heparin-releasing systems, while, it remains a great challenge for gaining the external-stimuli responsive heparin-release in either intravenous or catheter delivery. In this study, an azobenzene-containing ammonium surfactant is designed and synthesized for the fabrication of photoresponsive heparin ionic complexes through the electrostatic complexation with heparin. Under the assistance of photoinduced trans-cis isomerization of azobenzene, the obtained heparin materials perform reversible athermal phase transition between ordered crystalline and isotropic liquid state at room temperature. Compared to the ordered state, the formation of isotropic state can effectively improve the dissolving of heparin from ionic materials in aqueous condition, which realizes the photo-modulation on the concentration of free heparin molecules. With good biocompatibility, such a heparin-releasing system addresses photoresponsive anticoagulation in both in vitro and in vivo biological studies, confirming its great potential clinical values. This work provides a new designing strategy for gaining anticoagulant regulation by light, also opening new opportunities for the development of photoresponsive drugs and biomedical materials based on biomolecules.
