Correlating S-nitrosothiol decomposition and NO release for modified poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) polymer films
Abstract
This study marks the first parallel measurements where S-nitrosothiol behaviour is directly correlated to nitric oxide (NO) release for an established polymer system under exposure conditions that are specific to S-nitrosothiol decomposition (i.e. heat, light, pH). These methods are intended to be applied to confirm the NO source in any biomaterial system.
