Abstract
In this paper, curcumin-loaded electrospinning Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composite membranes were prepared. Curcumin with different contents (1, 3, and 5 wt%) was loaded to study its anticoagulation property as a drug-eluting stent. The structure of the composite membrane was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and the results suggested that both PLA and curcumin were present in the composite membrane without chemical reaction between them. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and related analysis revealed that the average diameters of composite nanofibers were between 756 and 971 nm with better uniformity in the range of the experiment, furthermore the average diameters of composite nanofibers decreased with the curcumin content increase; The in vitro anticoagulation behavior of curcumin-eluting stents was investigated through static platelet adhesion test, revealing that the anticoagulation property of composite membranes was superior to the pure PLA membrane, and the anticoagulation behavior significantly improved with increasing curcumin by dint of SEM observation.
