Abstract

For the preparation of effective non-vascular drug eluting stent (DES), pullulan acetate (PA) was investigated as a coating material for polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)-covered stent. PA was coated on PTFE-covered stent (PTFE-stent) by dip coating technique, and then its surface morphology, drug release behavior and cellular toxicity were tested. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) result indicated that its surface was smoother after PA coating without any cracking. The sustained release behavior of paclitaxel from PA-coated PTFE membrane was observed for 80 days. Also, the biological stability of paclitaxel in the membrane was confirmed by annexin V binding assays. Furthermore, the antitumor activity was demonstrated by an in vivo test against CT-26 murine colorectal tumors. From the results, we concluded that PA was expected as a useful coating material to design an effective non-vascular DES.

효율적 비혈관용 약물방출 스텐트 제조를 위해 풀루란 아세테이트(pullulan acetate, PA)가 테프론(poly-tetrafluorethylene; PTFE)으로 피막된 스텐트(PTFE-stent)의 코팅재료로 연구되었다. 파크리탁셀 함유 PA가 코팅된 PTFE-stent의 표면, 약물 방출 거동, 세포독성이 측정되었으며, 동물실험을 통해 이의 가능성이 검토되었다. 전자현미경으로 표면을 관찰한 결과 표면이 PTFE 피막에 비해 훨씬 매끄러웠고, 약물은 80일 동안 서방적 방출 거동을 보였다. PA와 함께 코팅된 파크리탁셀의 안정성을 annexin V 결합 염색법을 통하여 측정한 결과 apoptosis의 비율이 천연 파크리탁셀과 유사한 것으로 보아 봉입된 파크리탁셀의 변성이 없음을 알 수 있었다. 소동물 실험에서는 파크리탁셀이 봉입된 PA-PTFE가 고형암의 성장을 억제하였다. 위의 결과로 보아 PA는 효율적 비혈관계 약물방출 스텐트 개발에 매우 유용한 물질이라고 기대된다.
