Immobilization of an active agent on a substrate using compounds including trihydroxyphenyl groups
First Claim
1. A substrate having an active agent immobilized on a surface thereof, the substrate having a compound including a trihydroxyphenyl group coupled to the substrate surface, wherein the compound includes an active agent coupled thereto, such that the active agent is immobilized on the surface, and the compound including a trihydroxyphenyl group is selected from the group consisting of gallic acid, phloroglucinol carboxylic acid, gallamide, benzenetriol, 5-methyl-benzene-1,2,3-triol, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, gallacetophenone, 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzamide, 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzoic acid, 5-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride, methyl gallate, pyrogallol, salts of the foregoing, and combinations thereof.

Abstract
The invention provides methods of immobilizing an active agent to a substrate surface, including the steps of, providing a substrate, contacting the substrate with a solution of a compound including a trihydroxyphenyl group, thereby forming a trihydroxyphenyl-treated substrate, and contacting the trihydroxyphenyl-treated substrate with an active agent, thereby immobilizing the active agent on the substrate. Further provided are methods of immobilizing an active agent on a substrate, including the steps of providing a substrate, combining a solution of a compound including a trihydroxyphenyl group with a solution of an active agent, thereby forming a solution of an active agent-trihydroxyphenyl conjugate, and contacting the substrate with the solution of the active agent-trihydroxyphenyl conjugate, thereby immobilizing the active agent on the substrate. The invention further provides substrates and medical device or device components with active agents immobilized on the surface thereof.
