Abstract

Balancing and neutralizing heparin dosing after surgeries and hemodialysis treatment is of great importance in medical and clinical fields. In this study, a series of new amphiphilic multi-charged cyclodextrins (AMCD)s as anti-heparin coagulants were designed and synthesized. The AMCD assembly was capable of selective heparin binding through multivalent bonding and showed a better neutralizing effect towards both unfractionated heparin and low molecular weight heparin than protamine in plasma. Meanwhile, an AMCD and vitamin K (VK) co-assembly was prepared to realize heparin-responsive VK release and provide a novel VK deficiency treatment for hemodialysis patients. This AMCD-VK co-assembly for heparin neutralization & vitamin K supplementation synergistic coagulation represents a promising candidate as a clinical anti-heparin coagulant.
